Waited almost 35-45 mins for 2 wraps BUT... it was good! Next time I will Doordash as they seemed to prioritize the Doordash orders first so ordering in-person is not ideal. For $13 a wrap, it's really the best deal in town especially as it's fresh to order. A lot of love seemed to go into each order. I could also taste the quality of the ingredients. I tried both the chicken shawarma and the beef koobideh - both served on a signature bread wrap, mint yogurt, and fresh salata. Between both, the chicken was the clear winner - the beef koobideh was good but not nearly as good as the chicken! If I am around the neighborhood, I would go back! read more

When I visit a Middle Eastern eatery, one of the items I always like to start with and try their version of it is the koobideh or kebab. As a result, I ordered their beef koobideh wrap for $12.95 plus tax. The wrap came with fresh mint yogurt, which was delicious and a fresh Middle Eastern inspired salad inside the wrap. The beef kebab wrap was tasty, but the beef was missing that nice char flavor you get from a direct flame. The meat was tender and well seasoned, and I enjoyed the freshness of the ingredients that joined the kebab inside the wrap. The bread wrap was very good, too. It had good flavor and I liked that they blasted it in their signature broth, to give it that nice flavor and added color. You have to remove the wrapping to see it. The hospitality was very good. The young man who helped me at the counter was super chill. He was very informative and upbeat, not to mention welcoming. They offer some inside seating and outside on the small patio. Street parking. Oh yes, you have to try their house pita chips! They are awesome! read more

Well worth it. Tough parking options Restaurant was somewhat clean, but I wouldn't run a white glove through it. The place has doesn't have tables but it does have stools at a bar. Accommodating staff and spot on with the wait time. Food was delish and would want to get more. Price was decent. read more

I ordered through DoorDash and it took them about 15 minutes to prepare my food I got the chicken Greek salad and the chicken was really tasty. I got both garlic sauce and a vinegarette on the side and highly recommend the garlic sauce. The salad was a healthy option but there was too much lettuce to topping ratio. Next time I would opt for the wrap or bowl instead which are more of their signature dishes. There is just about 15-20 counter seats inside and outside the restaurant. I would recommend picking up and taking to the beach nearby for a picnic instead of eating there read more

Akhis Authentic Shawarma & Kebab - Chicken Kebab Salad with a mix of garlic sauce and vinaigrette on the side - Mediterranean Near Me - San Diego, California

Food is really good almost 5 stars if it wasn't for the shortcomings. our order was two wraps and gyro fries, and a side of regular fries and the regular fries were missed. Also, we ordered a total of seven extra sauces aside from the two sauces that come with each dish (total should be 13 sauces in total) We only got nine sauces so if you're gonna charge for extra sauces, at least make sure you include them all that are being paid for. Aside from those two things the food was amazing. *** i did call in regards to the fries and they said they would refund those to my card and were very apologetic**+ read more

Worth the visit!! Met a friend here for lunch and it smelled and looked so good, I ordered before she even arrived The staff are super nice and friendly. I ordered the chicken shawarma fries... and WOW--so good! The chicken was juicy (not dry at all) and packed with flavor. You can really taste all the toppings and seasoning in every bite aannnnddd they pack it with more meat than fries unlike other places. Def need to try the red and tzatziki sauce with your order. So delish! Definitely worth the drive for me to come out here. No wonder this place has 5 stars! read more

Akhis Authentic Shawarma & Kebab - Mediterranean Near Me - San Diego, California

I recommend the Akhis Shawarma Wrap and the Chicken Shawarma Wrap. The food is made without seed oils and is extremely favorful. Restaurant is clean and the workers are very helpful. read more

I tried the Akhi's Wrap as per their recommendation and it was amazing. Highly recommend the green sauce, you can tell it's freshly made. It took about 10 minutes to get my food as they had some online orders to fulfill but it was worth the wait. read more

Today I went to two places that were once frequently visited businesses because they were close to where we lived. Akhis used to be a Hawaiian place that was always tasty but hit or miss in service or being open. Wasn't the cleanest back in the day but I'm glad Akhis has taken over and changed the place up. For any group sized 6 or more you should really consider getting the family meal options. The family size says for 4 but that is like if you are really really hungry and 4 of you eat a lot--at least for 5 is good but I say on average it's a size for 6 people. For $60 to get 4 proteins, 4 sauces, side salad, hummus and pita bread and saffron rice is such a good deal. The only thing is that I wish they included one side with that but it makes sense price wise. We got our food to go and it was done in such a timely manner. This is not like your Kebab Shop (fast food Shawarma) and my last few experiences with Kebab shop was not great but I will definitely vote up for Akhis. Especially since we are in the area all the time. The service was great and they seem to be settling into the PB area just fine. read more

This place was recommended by my esthetician, and boy oh boy this place did not disappoint. I couldn't decide what to get so I decided on the meal pack. And the staff member was extremely wonderful! Service was top notch, and I loved the outdoor area while waiting for my food order! I'm definitely coming back!!! Lastly, the portions were generous!!! read more

Delicious food great location. Service was excellent. Seating is minimal but you can take it a block over to beach and enjoy it here.

The guys were attentive, informative, patient, and quick with the food turnaround. All this even though I could tell they were slammed with phone orders. The food was amazing and in very good portions. I'm not actively varsity big back but I'm on the team, and I was pleasantly full. Highly recommend this spot. read more

From the first bite to the last, this place absolutely delivers every single time. This was our third visit, and somehow it keeps getting better. We both ordered the chicken shawarma wraps, and the chicken was incredibly juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The fries were crispy, addictive, and paired perfectly with the amazing sauces -- seriously, those sauces deserve their own shoutout. We also shared a Greek salad that tasted super fresh and balanced out the meal perfectly. On top of the food, Sharife and Malik provided such friendly, welcoming service that it made the whole experience even better. Already looking forward to our next visit! read more

Akhis Authentic Shawarma & Kebab - The best Chicken Shawarma wrap. - Mediterranean Near Me - San Diego, California

Still some of the best food. If you like Mediterranean, this place makes amazing chicken shawarma, and they make sure it's juicy and filled with flavor. One of the best rice bowls I've had. The brothers that cook and run the shop do an amazing job and didn't have to wait long despite it being busy! Well worth the drive read more

I saw a review on TikTok and the tomato wrap pulled me in so I had to try! They were super accommodating and were able to sub gyros in the shawarma wrap so that I could try the tomato wrap. The wrap brought a nice savory tomato flavor to the dish and the green cilantro-y sauce paired so well. The fries were crispy on the outside and so pillowy on the inside. Love a lunch deal - came with a wrap, fries, and a drink! read more

A local Hawaiian chain eatery decided to call it quits after many years in this North PB space. Akhis Authentic Shawarma & Kebab opened last month as the replacement business. It's far enough from the Mediterranean cuisine competition that is prevalent on the main drag of PB. Nearby curbside parking was limited especially if you arrived at busier times of the day. On-site seating consisted of stools at countertops whether inside the suite or on the front patio. Two of the three rotisseries had meats (chicken, gyro) cooking during my visit. Bowls, wraps, fries, and sides made up the savory offerings. The menu also carried the infamous Dubai chocolate as sweet treats in the form of a bar or strawberry cup. I chose a Beef Koobideh Bowl for my takeout order. It came with yellow basmati rice, fresh salata, pita slices, and white sauce. The worker also added a cup of garlic sauce. There was a steady stream of customers before and after me which led to a backlog of orders. It took the kitchen about 20 minutes to prepare my food that was placed inside an aluminum tray. The ground meat was okay, however it could have used more seasoning. I found both sauces to not be very pungent which was unusual for a Middle Eastern restaurant. The portion size was mediocre for the price. The rice and pita were the best parts of my meal from Akhis Authentic Shawarma & Kebab. read more

Akhis Authentic Shawarma & Kebab - Mediterranean Near Me - San Diego, California

I really wanted to like this place because it is close by and the food is made without seed oils. But unfortunately the food and service fell short. We ordered online and it said 15 minutes. We arrived and food was not ready. The cashier said it was being made and would be a short wait. We were fine with that. After about 10 minutes he comes out to explain that even though the online message states that it's 15 minutes it's really 30 minutes and he isn't able to change the online message at checkout. Ok, then post on the menu that orders take 30 minutes and that the estimated time given at checkout by Toast is incorrect. Anyway we waited outside in the sun. He could have offered us a soda or water or pita and hummus or something while we waited. Nobody else was there so it's not like he was busy. Just busy chatting with his friend. Ok the food...it was ok. Another reviewer said the wrap was big...it was not. The shawarma and gyros meat were ok, I've had better. Chicken was a bit dry. I think they forgot the tzitiki and garlic sauce on all out orders. The rice was good. The best part was the salata. It was fresh and very well seasoned. A bit pricey for the portion size, amount of food, ambiance, wait, and takeout. I wonder how long it would take if we had not ordered ahead or if the place actually had other customers. read more

Everything was fresh and tasted of high quality. The service was fast and I was guided on what to order as it was my first time. In town for the week and I might just have to come back before I leave as it was that good! read more

I saw an ad for this place and was craving a chicken shawarma wrap and theirs looked good. It's a small place with take out and some seats. The service was friendly though they asked if I wanted the yogurt mint sauce and I said yes but received a different orange sauce with my wrap instead. That's ok, the wrap and the orange sauce were tasty. I'd stop in again. read more

WOW, everything we ate here was incredible!!! Super fresh and flavorful food. It's probably one of the best Mediterranean food/kebabs I've ever had. We had a huge order for our group of 7, but they brought the food out to us in a very timely manner. I love the variety of sauces that they provided. Everyone who works there is so friendly and accommodating. The baklava (not pictured) is the perfect ending to our meal! read more

Akhis Authentic Shawarma & Kebab - Yum!!! I love all the different sauces - Mediterranean Near Me - San Diego, California

I haven't been writing reviews lately, however, I had to hop back on Yelp and write one for this place. It's a "hole-in-the-wall" type of kebab shop with big, big flavors. The chicken shawarma wrap is the most popular here but I decided to order the beef kebab wrap. The wraps are a great size for the price point and the outside is a seasoned lavash bread that is grilled. The beef was so flavorful and so incredibly moist. Pita chips and hummus were delicious add-on. Definitely will visit this shop again when I come to SD. The person taking my order was also super nice and friendly as well. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Came here after the beach and was in the mood for something healthy. I was talking to the cashier and they said it's a fusion of Afghan Shwarma so I was very happy to try. I got their signature item the Ahkis's chicken Shawarma wrap. So amazing, especially with their Afghan salad they put in there. Very good and they are not stingy about the quantity. I also shared gyro fries with my buddy, and he loved them as well. I also tried their hummus and you could tell the hummus was fresh and made that day. My other buddy shared a kebab wrap and a chicken kebab bowl, which they both loved. We all agreed, this place was amazing and it didn't make you feel like crap after. Definitely coming back here again the restaurant was clean and the service was great, which is always helps ! read more

10/10 these guys are the best, everything was really great - felt bad about ordering late at night but they hooked me up

Been here several times (even on a stressful Christmas Eve, and there was a power outage.) I would award as the nicest restaurant staff in PB / LJ What to order? 1. Don't miss the hot pita chips and hummus! Those warm chips are transcendent when paired with their deliciously creamy hummus. Great flavor. 2. We usually get the kebab combo with chicken and/or koobideh. We usually have leftovers from the generous portion. Thank you for preparing such wonderfully flavored dishes. read more

Everything we got was outstanding... lamb, chicken & hummus. Sauces were all excellent too. It's a takeout spot, hardly any seating onsite but the food is off the charts. Probably the best Mediterranean place I've found in San Diego. Try it!! read more

It was my first time here and the gentleman that took my order was super knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. The rest of the staff was super friendly and also very helpful. They don't miss on their sauces either. I'll be coming back again ... maybe tomorrow. read more

Decided to try out this spot I randomly came across and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the staff was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered the chicken kebab bowl and the chicken shawarma wrap, and both were so fresh and packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The best surprise? They had Dubai chocolate for dessert! I was so excited about that. Overall, food was so good!! I'll definitely be coming back! read more
