I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mandolin Kitchen, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! We indulged in their incredible asado, and every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and passion for authentic flavors. The meat was perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor, paired beautifully with their delicious sides. What truly made our visit special was our server, Ivy. She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Her recommendations were spot on, and her warm demeanor made us feel right at home. The ambiance of Mandolin Kitchen is also worth mentioning—inviting and vibrant, making it the perfect spot for a delightful meal. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience with exceptional food and service, I highly recommend Mandolin Kitchen. Thank you, Ivy, for making our evening so memorable! We can't wait to return!

Food always seems to taste better when you’re surrounded by great company, especially while celebrating another birthday with friends and family. This year, we chose Mandolin Kitchen for the occasion. The food was fantastic—I had the Braised Short Rib with rice, which was delicious but such a generous portion that I needed a to-go box. Definitely enough to share! I also sampled others’ dishes, and the lamb was cooked to perfection. I’ll be ordering that next time. If you’re into hookah, this is a perfect spot for it. The music was just right—not too loud, so we could actually have conversations. We had a wonderful time, and I’d definitely recommend this place for birthdays, dining, or even just to try their special drinks. 100% worth a visit! Cheers, BN

The food was absolutely delicious!!! I had the shish kabob with rice. The filet mignon was so tender. It practically melts in your mouth! My friend had the salmon, another great choice. (You get a lot of meat for the price of both items.) The atmosphere was cool, nice vibe, and the DJ was great. Not too overbearing. Overall great vibe! I would definitely recommend and plan to go back!

I highly recommend Mandolin kitchen if you’re looking for a great vibe and great food. I ordered the shish kebab (cooked medium well), with orzo rice & a salad. The meal was delicious. I was very impressed with the food. The beef was flavorful, juicy & seasoned well. The rice was very tasty. I wanted to ask the chef for the recipe. Ordered a hookah as well. Vibes were good and the music was good too. I highly recommend as I stated in the beginning.

The food was delicious. I got the octopus as an appetizer, chef's kiss. The hummus was just ok. Steak kebabs were amazing. The down side is if you are not a hookah smoker the smell of smoke everywhere is bothersome.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Mandolin Kitchen & Shisha Bar on a Thursday afternoon, right after they opened, and I must say, the experience was fantastic! From the moment I walked in, the bartender and host greeted me with warmth and genuine hospitality, making me feel right at home. I decided to enjoy some hookah while tackling my schoolwork on the patio, and it turned out to be the perfect setting for relaxation. The ambiance was inviting, allowing me to focus while still enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. I started with a delicious hummus appetizer paired with refreshing Acqua water, which was a delightful combination. To keep my energy up, I treated myself to two cups of Turkish coffee. Not only did it provide a much-needed boost while I was there, but I also felt its invigorating effects well after I got home! I couldn't resist ordering a mint hookah, which was smooth and refreshing, alongside two glasses of Prosecco wine that complemented my afternoon perfectly. Additionally, I appreciated the convenience of valet parking for just 5, which made my visit even more enjoyable. Overall, my experience at Mandolin Kitchen & Shisha Bar was nothing short of amazing, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to unwind with great service, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere. I can’t wait to return!

This Turkish and Greek restaurant exterior is white & blue. I did dress up to dine with friends for picture perfect memories. There is indoor and outside seating available. They server many authentic delicious dishes, kebabs, and signature cocktails. Everything we tried was amazing. We ate ever bite without needing a Togo box. Yes, after dinner I tried my first hookah. I thought it was a unique experience. Great Job especially the lavender martini.

We had a great experience at Mandolin. The service, cocktails, and food were all excellent. We enjoyed Eggplant, Hummus, Shish Kebab, Chicken Kebab, and Kofta, and split San Sebastian and Baklava for dessert. The Shish Kebab and San Sebastian were particularly standouts. Enjoyed the vibe with hookah and the huge covered outdoor space that works rain or shine. We will certainly be back as it’s very conveniently located on Roswell Rd.
