Owner Leo Judeh came to the United States to box in the 1996 Olympics. He eventually moved from Atlanta to San Francisco, where his brothers owned two restaurants, and finally ended up in St. Paul, where he and Beth opened Shish in the Macalester-Groveland neighborhood. The neighborhood was lacking in Middle Eastern options, and the restaurant aimed to fill the void. The menu offers a variety of innovative dishes, many of which are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free, and food that isn't available anywhere else in the area. The cafe also serves Turkish coffee.
