Shibam Mix Grill in Yorktown is a great spot for Mediterranean and Turkish food. The mixed grill platter was flavorful and well-seasoned, with tender meats and generous portions. The rice and fresh-baked bread were especially good, and the garlic sauce added the perfect touch.
The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Service was a bit slower during peak time, but the food was worth the wait. Overall, a solid choice if you’re craving authentic Mediterranean flavors in the Yorktown area. I’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

The lamb kebab was delicious and just the right proportions for lunch. Reasonable prices and a menu with lots of other stuff I’d like to try. The owner was friendly and attentive. Would definitely eat here again.

I really enjoyed my lunch here today. The hummus was the best I’ve had in years! The Adana kebab was tasty and the service was excellent.

I would love to give them a better review, but they have some things to work on. I’ve dined here three times now. The first time was probably the best, where I ordered the chicken shawarma, seen in pics here. It was great, but I wanted more rice, and more pita – they served a lot of chicken! Those aren’t very big problems though. We also ordered the zucchini pancake, which was AWESOME! And I wish I knew what was in there. But that may be where the good news ends. The second time, my family ordered takeout and got two orders of their mixed grill for two. There was plenty of food, but much of the meat was dry, and a little bland, and they didn’t give any hot sauce like I got at my first visit. We also ordered the zucchini pancakes then too, but this time it was very different in size and texture, and it was nowhere near as good as the first time. My third time I visited for lunch and got a lamb gyro, which is where I noticed that they don’t have any descriptions for the items on their menu, and what they come with. It just states the dish and the price, not what it comes with, or what it actually is. Which at first, didn’t seem like a big deal to me, because I’m very curious and eager to try anything. But I wanted a lamb gyro lunch, and I didn’t see that it came with anything, so I ordered a shepherd salad, which I didn’t know what it was. Added a drink, and my lunch came to $25. My salad was a dressed tomato, onion, and cucumber mix, which was okay, but not what I expected. The gyro did end up coming with fries (a very small handful however), which if I knew, I wouldn’t have ordered the salad, and the gyro was lacking sauce and vegetables, wasn’t piping hot, and just fell a bit flat.
Their appetizers and desserts are unreasonably expensive, and they don’t give you very much at all for them. The $7 zucchini pancakes is only two very small pancakes, and their $8 fig dessert is four small figs, with walnuts and honey. The only other thing I’ll mention is the service, which I’ve felt sympathetic towards, and it hurts to be honest about. It is just one young afghan lady, and truly no fault to her, she is polite, but hardly says anything, never smiles, and isn’t welcoming, or helpful to the customers. But then again, she does have to deal with us ignorant, grumpy, and demanding Americans, so I can understand. I’m sorry Shibam, I can be forgiving to this service, but I figured I should be honest. I wish you success!

Having spent time in the military and traveled across different parts of the world, I’ve had my fair share of authentic meals — and this mixed grill took me right back.
I ordered the lamb steak and chicken combo, and everything on the plate was cooked to perfection. The meats were tender, juicy, and seasoned just like the real deal.
If you’ve ever eaten overseas or just want a taste of something truly authentic, this place delivers.

The pictured meal was a lunch portion for one, and I was pleasantly surprised by how generous it was. At first, I’ll admit I was a little underwhelmed by the presentation and thought, “This was $18?” But once I took the first bite, I immediately understood. The flavor was rich, hearty, and comforting. It tasted like something a friend’s mom would make for you at her kitchen table. It was filling, and satisfying.

We stopped in and had a great experience. Hummus was perfect, with a beautiful garlic overtone, portions were good size, chicken was moist and well seasoned (which is hard to find) and shaksuka was delicious. Will definitely return for more.
