Lula Kebab House Inc

AVOID AVOID AVOID My wife walked in asked for a table for two and was turned away. (She is a minority) I walk in two minutes later and I get a table ASAP. Because I was with my wife, we had to wait 1hr and 15min before we saw a waiter. I complained and the waiter said that the manager 'was too busy'. I spotted a fat woman who was just standing around (and had been doing nothing) for the last 20 minutes; and it seems that she is the manager. Too busy? Just standing around? So I pointed out that the waiter LIED. The manger said 'its ok'. The story gets only worse, but I have made my point. AVOID AVOID AVOID\r more

Pathetic does not begin to describe this bizarre eatery with a mentally unstable owner who obviously must be suffering from some psychological issues. I made the error of asking for a take-out menu thinking it was perhaps a Mediterranian restaurant. After the hostess brought it to me, An elderly gentleman who either works there or owns the place says to me ""I think we can be friends but I think not."" and snatches the menu out of my hand. I will be honest. I nearly considered causing a scene, but fearing this guy was unstable I just left. So if you do decide to risk eating there, I hope for your sakes it's on a day the owner took his medication. more

I've been to that place 3 times, so I will share my experience for all three.\r \r Look - 5 Star\r First I need to say, that the place inside looks very good. Everything is very clean and organized.\r \r Service - 1 star\r it's just simply HORRIBLE. Despite all the efforts of Skinny Russian Blond girl (she's the only Good service provider in that place) to make that place better.\r Last time I went to that place around 3PM, place was almost empty. It was me at two more tables. I was served by mature russian woman at that time. I ordered a soup and a lula-kebab. Need to say - every time they take a soup away and bring the second dish - they take away the napkin with forks inside. So make sure you don't let them do it, because you will never get the new one, unless you ask for it again. This happen all three times.\r Despite a fact that the place was almost empty, I had to stand up and go to the bar to ask for drink, and then second time - to ask for a check. Need to say, that before I did that, i was sitting and waiting for about 10 minutes for my waitress to come to my table. And she was just doing nothing by the bar and talking to some other guy. Insane.\r \r Prices - 1 Star, Even minus one.\r Prices at this place are absolutely ridiculous. Even if you can afford it, you still feel being ripped off. GRATUITY - Included in check. And there is a space to put additional in first check. Then ATTENTION, they bring you the second check where you sign and so on... and you have a TIP line, and the lettering under it says - "suggested tips 15% - $**, 20% - $** and so on... why would I be Suggested tips in percentage, If I was already charged 15% for that? Now I pay in percent from the price with already included 15% of tip? WRONG way to do business on frauds like this one.\r \r FOOD - 3 star. \r Nothing special to say, just average quality food. Me personally - I didn't like it.\r \r Order processing time - Absolutely AWFUL! 1 star.\r Lula always takes between 40-60 minutes between actual order time and the time you get it. Impossible? YES, possible. They made it!\r \r Bottom line is:\r In my case I only go there to have a lunch or dinner most of the time by myself. I realized that Kalinka store, right behind this restaurant in fact gives you better food experience for half the price of "kebab-house". Of course that one is not so fancy, but If I want to have a dinner and have it fast and tasty, Kalinka would be my choice in that area. more

the borsch is great! more

Awesome food and beautiful ambiance. I recommend the Greek salad and mushroom julienne more

A usual mafia-run Russian restaurant. Very sleazy staff although the food isn't bad. But if you like to be cheated on your bill, that's the place to go. more

The food is indeed The The food is incredible and the service is great more

I eat out 3 to 4 times a week and went to this restaurant after seeing they made Kebabs. I have to say this was one fo the worst all around experiences I have ever had. Ther service was not only neglectful, but rude. Dirty glasses, dirty silverwear, cold food that should be hot, warm food that should be cold. I ordered a soup (solyanka) and a salad to start. I have eaten in Russian restaurants before, but the soup was terrible, cold and covered with a layer of oil as if it had been sitting out. The salad was warm as if it had been sitting in a widow under a heat lamp, and had a hair in it. The kebabs were ground beef on a stick served with soggy potatoes and watery salsa to dip it in. I had gone with two friends and none of us enjoyed the experience. I won't be returning and wouldn't reccomend this restaurant to anyone. Cons: too many more

Great Armenian Restaurant! Food is absolutely delicious, kebabs are especially great! Not pricy at all...\r Tiramisu is to die for... the service is great too... Pros: everything more

Yes, lamb has a peculiars smell and taste, but not at Lula. The juicy, tasty, and not smelly lamb chops and Lula Kebab, and chicken and pork kebobs are really the best. The Chef is From Armenia, and you can taste the authentic Armenian kebabs and lamb chops. We dine a lot in nice restaurants, but these Lamb Chops are by far our favourite. They always have good and fresh deserts. Very good service. The owner is always there, prompt seating, grate service. We happened to go there once late, when the kitchen was almost closing, but they accommodated with us, seated and served the always great food. And, yes, don't forget to order the garden salad with basturma and olives. Yummy Food. Pros: Food, Service Cons: It's in a typical FL shopping center environment more
