    We visited Alexandria on a Friday night and it was absolutely dead. We were one of two tables dining that evening.

    We ordered from the Prix Fixe menu which was a three course meal for $25. We ordered the Hummus for our appetizer, which wasn't bad, not the greatest but not the worst either. For our entrees, we ordered the Chicken Shawerma and the Kefta Kabob. The chicken was dry and overcooked and the Kefta Kabob was horrible. Not only did it taste bad but it was also visually horrifying. It looked like two long pieces of dog poop on either side of my plate. And to top off the plate presentation, the rice was covered with almonds slivers. And had they mentioned that on their menu, I wouldn't have ordered it since I am allergic to nuts. The one good thing about the entree plates is that they got the veggies grilled perfectly. So yeah. The only dessert they had to offer was a "fruit salad" which we later found out to be fruit cocktail out of a can, maybe even a jar. Thanks, Del Monte!

    Normally I don't pass judgement on the staff but our server was wearing a t-shirt that looked like it was pulled out of the bottom of her hamper. And I typically don't care if you're opposed to ironing but it wasn't even a presentable shirt. It didn't have the Alexandria logo on it, so it wasn't a uniform, but more like a t-shirt I'd work out it.

    I think Alexandria's only saving grace was that they're right next door to Greektown Gyros!

    The best shish kabob I have ever had. The live entertainment on saturday night was to die for. I had guests from out of town with me and they could not stop talking about the belly dancer and band. We had a blast and it was resonable. Check it out. 2 thumbs up.
