Avan Machine T Chain

We were traveling through town and soooooo glad we stopped here! We tried four different dishes and they were all fantastic! The lamb was falling off the bone, tender and delicious. They make thier flat bread in a clay oven, and it was amazing! It really shows that the chef takes pride in their family business. The space is casual, but clean and friendly. Service was great and the wait for food was short. We often eat in St Louis and this is hands down the best middle eastern food we've found at any restaurant. Highly recommended!

I’d never been to this restaurant and really didn’t know what to expect. I asked the server to kind of explain and he was very kind and explained the menu well. The menu is simple in a good way. No hot food is good or bad depending on your preference and mostly lamb and chicken with a few beef options served with rice or bread and humus. The lamb with rice was very good and I plan to go back to try multiple dishes. If you’re a little skittish when it comes to “ethnic” food, this food will not scare you a bit. I would say try it and you’ll be pleased with how friendly the staff is and pleasantly surprised how the food is different but not exotic. Also, I didn’t walk away feeling bloated more satisfied. Hopefully this helps

If you haven’t been to Aban’s Kitchen yet, you’re doing yourself a disservice. This place has a wonderful, cozy environment with the friendliest staff in the area. The lamb is amazing and prepared in a few different ways. I’ve tried every single menu item and I’m happy and satisfied with all of my entrees. This place is truly something special and I hope it’s legacy continues for a long time.

This is my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in our area. It’s not your typical Gyro place at all. It’s a real experience and the food is excellent. I judge a good Middle Eastern restaurant by the quality of basmati rice that they buy, this rice is some of the best I have ever eaten. Light, fluffy, very long grained yet form kernels, and spiced with something delicate that I cannot name, but is addictive. The last time I was there, I splurged and ordered the lamb chops, and I was not disappointed. It was more food than I could eat, and so I had to take some home to eat the next day. Poor poor me. No really, these folks are really really nice people and the atmosphere is, peaceful and quiet, not like your usualAmerican restaurants with loud music blaring, and several TVs. This is the kind of place that you would want to take your favorite person on date night, or take business colleagues to discuss important stuff. I hope people can support this business as much as possible so that they will be successful. The pandemic was hard on them and I’m glad they survived it.
