About the Dish

The Grilled Family Boat is a shared platter featuring three types of kebabs: shish kebab (شيش كباب), kufta kebab (كفتة), and chicken kebab. Each skewer is seasoned with traditional spices and grilled over an open flame for a smoky finish.

This family style meal comes with garlic sauce, house salad, hummus (حمص), basmati rice, and babaganoush (بَبَغَانُوج). Babaganoush means “smoky eggplant dip” in Arabic and adds a creamy texture to the mix. It’s perfect for a gathering in Tampa or South Tampa near Kennedy Blvd or the Busch Gardens area.
