Kalash Kitchen

Wow !!! This is the tastiest of food in town !! Cortland was in desperate need for a place with actual flavor , herbs and spices. MUST TRY THE CHICKEN PLATTER filled with rice , hummus , marinade , and fresh veggies. Just outta this world good ! !

Owners are incredibly welcoming and accommodating! They offered samples to try and made everything exactly how we wanted. The flavors and portions were excellent! There is a nice selection within the menu. A welcome addition to Cortland dining!

Lamb platter was awesome. Doordash worked for me at the two spot rest area. As a truck driver, so grateful for Doordash and Uber Eats. Really enjoyed a proper meal, great job.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Food is always delicious, and always fresh - and it's such a healthier option! Every time we come in, the lady behind the counter is so sweet and friendly. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

Everything I've gotten here has been excellent. Huge portions, delicious food and very reasonable prices. The service has also been quick and the people working there are friendly. My only complaint is that the atmosphere when dining in feels a bit off. Could use some music or something to make it more inviting.

The best hospitality! Don’t sleep on the Masala fries. The flavor is on point! We didn’t know what we wanted and were not disappointed by the suggestions. We will absolutely be back again.

I ate here a few months ago but am reminiscing about the warmth of the service and food. The owners were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make my day better. I will never forget my experience here and can’t wait to be back.

Found this place while driving through town. The food was so good! Everyone got something they liked. The service was fantastic. Wish we lived closer and cooked visit more often!!!

The Kalash Kitchen is on top of my list. They have a very clean restaurant, wonderful staff, and a freshly prepared flavor filled menu. They event took time to converse with me, explaining the unique facets of the food and culture. The whole experience was over the top. I would recommend everyone to keep this high on the list for local restaurants.

It was my 1st time eating there and the food and service were excellent. We started out with some samples to see what we wanted. I got the shrimp and lamb combo platter. It was delicious and the portion sizes generous. I also sampled the chicken, which was also delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Definitely plan to return some time. The lady working at the lunch shift was a big help to my friend and I. We'd never been there before and were not familiar with the entrees. She gave us a sample of lamb, chicken, rice, and some sauces. My friend got the mixed platter (chicken and shrimp); I also got the mixed platter (chicken and lamb). Basmati rice, choices of chopped raw vegetables, then tzatziki sauce was added. (We could have had some other sauces, including ones a little hotter.) The food was delicious. The servings generous. The price was more than reasonable.

Halal! Called to find out they stay open late. The brothers extended their stay to accommodate me picking up from the airport in Syracuse. Much appreciated!!!

I had the lamb platter with cilantro sauce and tzaziki. It was so delicious. I can't wait to go again!

We were greeted immediately and the employees were friendly and helpful. It was a decently large party and they were very patient with two kids not familiar with the cuisine. The food was amazing. The lamb platter was full of tender and well-seasoned meat. The rice was perfectly cooked and plentiful. The sauces were obviously handmade and everything was extremely flavorful. The entire party was completely satisfied with the experience; we were all very full and happy. And the value was exceedingly good. I can't recommend it enough.

The people and food was incredible. The platter choices were fantastic.

We're from out of town and came across this place. Let me tell you, it was fantastic...the food was excellent but even better was the staff. The woman that served us was one of the nicest, genuine people I've ever come across in a restaurant. 100% recommended!!

Took my family here to eat and try something new in town and I must say that this place deserves 10stars!! Everything was absolutely amazing! The food, the portion sizes, the atmosphere and the staff! This will definitely be our new go to!

This is a must have if you are anywhere near by. I am an out of towner heading to Ithaca on business. Stopped to check the menu. The only confusion I had was the extensive menu and choices. Tallis [sp?] - The Sauceman - did not waste any time offering me a recommendation and a sample. A sample? That was lunch by itself. Very generous guys! I went with the mixed platter that had lamb, chicken, beef, garbanzo beans, mixed veggies, hummus and a couple of the magic sauces on top. I will be coming back here for sure!

I have tried the falafel, fish, gyro and chicken and all have been so good. I love the red sauce, it has a very unique flavor. My girlfriend loves the masala fries

Absolutely fantastic food and very friendly and quick service. Looks like a hole in the wall diner but falafel lamb and chicken are all incredible - ask to try the masala fries! Bookmarking for each time we pass through Cortland when traveling.

A gem. We ordered the falafel platter, lamb platter, and the masala fries. Everything was fresh and flavorful! The masala fries had perfect crispiness and savory seasoning. I am very picky, healthy and this place won us over. The ownership was friendly. The space clean and open. The prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Not only was the food excellent, trying both the chicken and lamb, but the employees were all so friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Cortland, I order almost every week. Flavorful food, made with love and great ingredients. Fresh salad and amazing hummus. I’m so happy with this establishment and I want to thank everyone working here that puts their hearts and soul into making amazing food.

Great place to eat. I typically take fallafel wrap or platter. Tzatziki sauce with cillantro sauce is also amazing. The service is fast and you know what you orecommend. Their baclava is great! Highly recomment.

Wow! What a gem of a restaurant. We had the mixed platters, falafel, chicken wraps and masala fries and they were all fresh and delicious! The prices were totally reasonable and, even better, the service was fantastic! Really kind staff. So excited to have this in Cortland!

Two lamb on rice with extra meat, white and hot; two chicken biryani with white sauce and veggies on the side. NYC street-eater speaks: Kalash is spectacular for “halal cart” grub, lots of options, and the people are super nice. So nice to go home with delicious lamb on rice … and not cook. You will not leave unsatisfied.

Visited for the first time in Cortland. 5 orders which included Lamb Gyro, Lamb platter, Falafel Gyro, Falafel platter and a veggie burger. Plus 2 orders of French fries. Delicious food with all the extras you want. They give you plenty of food, so you won't be hungry after eating here. Excellent service by the staff and owner is a very nice guy. Highly recommend this place for takeout or eat in. Not expensive at all. Will definitely be back again soon.

Excellent! We stopped by on a whim during a road trip and couldn’t have been more pleased. The staff were friendly, showered us with free samples, and the food was beyond good. Flavorful, fresh ingredients, generous portions, reasonable prices. I wish I lived here so I could go back.

Placed a to go order and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes, but it ended up taking about 40. That said, the communication was excellent. They acknowledged the delay and went out of their way to make it right without me even asking. Really appreciated the effort and customer service.

Very polite and friendly staff. Neat n clean environment and delicious food. Affordable and quick food on the go. Doesn't have to wait for long.

A bit ago my boyfriend and I decided to check this place out for dinner and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, portion sizes were generous, prices were more than fair, staff were incredibly friendly. The kind interaction we had with the owner made our evening. Cortland is lucky to have a location like this, would highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I stopped here to meet up with my mom and get our son. We had never been here before and the women working so kind. She gave us a small sample of the food so we could determine what we would like to get. She was so pleasant with us and our son and made us feel so welcome. On top of all that, the food was fantastic! So flavorful and fresh. I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go back again!

Phenomenal food! Outstanding customer service! As soon as they found out it was our first time there, they put together a bunch of samples for us to try. Then, while we were eating the delicious food we ordered, they brought out another entire dish of food that they were cooking in the kitchen… just for us to try! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, immediately making us feel very much at home. As we got ready to leave, they treated us to an order of Baklava, on the house (which was amazing!). You rarely find that level of customer service anymore. We’re definitely looking forward to becoming regulars there in their dining area and at home as we order takeout online. Fantastic experience all around. Highly recommended!

This place was an awesome find. The women who waited on us was very helpful in assisting us to decide what to order... we were not disappointed! The food was authentic, great portions and very reasonably priced. We will definitely return!

Great food and amazing flavors! Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Friendly service and a very welcoming place. Highly recommend Kalash Kitchen! 🍽️

Went for the first time and had a great experience. The man who helped us made us a whole sample platter to taste so we could decide what we wanted and everything was delicious! We ended up getting two platters and the masala fries. The hours also make it super accessible for someone with a busy schedule like myself. I can’t wait to go back!

These people and their food are generous, authentic, and will keep you going back for more. Such a surprise treat stopover for us on a late night long drive home. They don’t make you pick just one sauce! So delicious <3

My only complaint is that the atmosphere when dining in feels a bit off. Could use some music or something to make it more inviting.

Food was good, service decent, atmosphere kind of sparse. Need coffee. Server was pleasant. Greek music authentic via radio, but too many commercials.

Just ok.. I wish the shrimp platter was clear about the type of Shrimp- like grilled or breaded. When it came out I was disappointed in the look of the shrimp (looked old).. well they tasted old, not fresh at all, more breading than shrimp, and MUSHY/Shoggy once I got it home. I threw the shrimp out 🤢

Really enjoyed their food until I witnessed an employee outside then return inside and not wash his hands and immediately tried to put on gloves a take my Order! I left and will not return.
