★★★★★ 5.0 Brent Duvall · Feb 2026

Kissmet low key lives off nostalgia. If you went there in college, it probably hits different. My girl has been hyping this place for months like it’s a core memory. “I ate this every day.” “You’re gonna love it.” “It’s elite.” So I finally folded and went. First impression, solid but not life changing. The pita was decent, but not that warm, fluffy, cloud bread vibe I was expecting. It did the job, just not transcendent. The gyro meat though? Respect. Seasoned right, good texture, not dry. The hummus also held its own. Smooth, flavorful, no weird aftertaste. You can tell they’ve been doing this a while. For about 15 bucks, it’s honestly a safe lunch play. Not gourmet Mediterranean from a seaside village, but definitely a reliable staple. I get why college kids ride for it. It’s quick,

I got the Vegan Shawarma and Fries. Very good price, for both it was $13.50. The falafel was very crispy and flavorful. I think it could have had more sauce in it. My friend got the Veggie Supreme, it was amazing. Overall, the place was great the service was great too! They had some drinks and juices and the Strawberry Mango drink was really good! Atmosphere was good, definitely recommend this place!

Kismet Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat. This place is my go-to for the drizzled plates. Meat always tender. Sauce delicious. Big portions. I highly recommend Kismet. 5☆

Poor service. We ordered a fries and drinks combo, and initially they said it was included at no charge. When I offered to pay for the combo, they then said it wasn’t available as a combo at all. The food quality has also declined. It used to be really good, but now it’s not great and feels overpriced. Not worth it.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rami Rahman · Jul 2025

Very quick service I have been here multiple times food is HALAL. Food is always very tasty. Very affordable while being great quality food. Always plenty of parking and the inside dining area usually always has space. Many people also order takeout if that is more your style. They do have a kids meal aswell. I recommend to anybody who is looking for a quick bite to eat.
