"I wandered into Memo Shish Kebab on 1821 Kings Hwy in Brooklyn — a place with Turkish roots, a long-standing Halal kitchen, and more than a touch of ambition. Here’s how it played out. The setting This is not the hushed white-tablecloth temple of gastronomy. Instead, Memo’s is a lively corner spot: warm lights, comfortable enough chairs, an open grill visible in the back where the meats rotate, spices wafting out into the room. According to their own story, the restaurant traces its lineage back three generations and to a father-from-Urfa named Mehmet “Memo” who brought the recipes to Brooklyn after working in America.  That history gives the place character — you feel you’re dealing with tradition, not just trend. The food I started with a plate of mixed kebabs: lamb shish, chicken adana, and a bit of doner. The lamb had good texture and char-points; the seasoning was honest, with echoes of cumin and sumac, garlic and grilled onion. On top of that, the hummus and freshly baked bread made a nicely balanced opening act. Many reviewers confirm the ingredient quality: “The food is consistently good … top quality.”  For the main act the lamb shish was strong — tender, juicy, well-grilled. Dessert? Not extravagant, but the sweet note was a welcome finish. The vibe The dining room is full without being cramped; staff are friendly though not theatrical. It’s late-night friendly too (open until 2 a.m., per the website).  The crowd is mixed: local families, late-night hangers-on, folks in the know. The market here is honest, not ostentatious. The caveats A few things kept me from giving Memo the perfect five stars: • While the meat was excellent, some of the sides were serviceable rather than standout. The rice-pilaf, for example, did its job — but didn’t sing. • Pricing is fair for what you get, but the “upgrade” premium kicks in when you start choosing the premium cuts or the larger combos. Some patrons say it’s “a bit expensive.”  • The décor and ambiance, while comfortable, do not scream “destination fine dining.” If you expect a candlelit Turkish feast, you’ll find something more casual here. The verdict Memo Shish Kebab delivers in the way that matters: serious cooking, real flavour, integrity of ingredients and tradition. If you’re walking those streets hungry and want something more than a burger but less than a prix-fixe fuss, this is where you land. 4 ★ — A strong meal, meaningful experience, only a few minor places where it could improve. If you go: ask for the lamb shish, share the mixed platter so you get variety, arrive at a time when you can enjoy the space rather than rush through it. You’ll leave content, with a story of spice and charcoal lingering in the air."

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by incredibly friendly staff who make you feel right at home. The restaurant itself is spotlessly clean, creating a welcoming and comfortable dining experience whether you choose to sit in, take out, or have your delicious meal conveniently delivered.
