Shish Tawook

[verysamsara]

I may be relocating to the NYC area but want to know if I can find somewhere to get a fabulous shish tawook. Value is important to me, so I'll sacrifice convenience and ambience for taste quality. Recommendations?

"Shish Tawook" can mean different things - or I should say, while it really just means "chicken kabob" for all intents, depending where you get it it'll be prepared differently - Turkish, Lebanese, Syrian & Israeli restaurants might all have it, but with different accompaniments and possibly different names. Persian places also, definitely under a different name ("jujeh" I think)

Also, note that it might appear on some menus as "taouk" instead. Since it's a transliteration, a number of different spellings are possible.
