I've been coming to AV Kabob House for years, ever since I worked nearby, and it has never disappointed me. Even after changing jobs, I still make the trip because the food is just that good. In my opinion, this is hands down the best Middle Eastern restaurant in the entire Antelope Valley. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The meats are tender and perfectly seasoned, the rice is amazing, the hummus is some of the best I've ever had, and the portions are generous. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, and they make you feel like a valued customer every time you walk in. It's one of those places you can't stop thinking about after you leave. If you've never been here, you're seriously missing out. Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, you'll leave full and happy. I recommend AV Kabob House to everyone looking for authentic, delicious Middle Eastern food. They absolutely deserve all the support they can get! 10/10, five stars every time! read more

I've been coming to this amazing little hole in the wall for years. They serve delicious Mediterranean cuisine. There's plenty of parking and I usually do a to go order.But there's a small dining area if you prefer to dine in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beware, of the loitering due to the liquor store next door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came in the afternoon and luckily for me it was very chill outside. Today I decided to try the shrimp meal. It comes with shrimp, rice, salad, hummus, and lavash (the bread like tortilla). I placed my order and it was ready in about 15 minutes. Everything, was delicious and I can't wait to come back in the near future. read more

AV Kabob House - The number three shrimp meal - Middle Eastern Near Me - Lancaster, California

Food: B+. Good authentic food. L-O-V-E the selections you can do with falafel. They gave us a whole bag of pitas! Service: C. Nothing special. It was during the lunch rush so not a lot of time to mingle with workers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: D. Cluttered, tables were dirty. Not inviting; we weren't planning on staying, it was to-go order, but it wasn't too bad that we didn't stay because that's what we did is we ate here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dietitian Dorothy Tip: Ask if they can swap the place where the rice is to put the salad and vice versa. I'm doing that ne3xt time. read more

AV Kabob House - Small pieces. Wow higher prices less meat - Middle Eastern Near Me - Lancaster, California

I show up at 7:30 sign says they're open till 9:00, there's nobody there. Nobody in the back, nobody in the front. We have been coming here for 20 years, never seen this before. 15 minutes later A guy shows up in a brown Honda Civic says they're closed, He's very rude He's very terse. We used to come here all the time and we lived here, we come here occasionally after we've moved when we come to visit. It's gone way downhill read more

I ordered 5 plates. Paid around 100 bucks The chicken was dry the beef kabob was dry and so was the ground meat kabob. I tried the chicken shawarma and it was flavorless. I ordered a Greek salad and the did not put any dressing on it. I have eaten here before and it seems like the quality just continues to decline each time. read more

Really good food, fresh and well seasoned and it didn't take long for them to make the food

I have been coming to this place for the past 20 years, this place has never once disappointed me, always great food and the owner is great as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's small and is nothing elaborate but don't let that fool you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] By far the best Kabobs in the AV! I'd be willing to say the best Kabobs anywhere, that includes my own travels to the Middle East, still in my opinion, the best! read more

The lamb seems old when I had it. The beef is chewy I believe it's the quality of meat they use the salad what's the best thing I ate besides the chicken. Also the rice was seemed to be a box brand with no Mediterranean style spice's. read more

One of the rare "gems" of good food in the antelope valley. Love this spot it's soooooo delicious!

it's good when the chicken is cooked all the way and the taziki isn't rotten and the rice is served after it's ready and not before. it's hit and miss. sometimes it's good... sometimes it's'a no good. please check your food before you get home because more than a few times i didn't notice all of the above until it was too late read more

AV Kabob House - Crappy combo salad - Middle Eastern Near Me - Lancaster, California

Its good for the AV. Chicken didnt taste too fresh, a bit cold and kefta was dry. The lamb pita was very good.

Best Mediterranean food in the entire AV. The food is always good and savory. I could care less about these styrofoam containers the food hits always. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience may not be for a fine dining experience but I take it to go or in my car.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had high hopes for this place... we love medditeranian food...but the food here was pretty Aweful and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place was dirty[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The beef skewer was chewy and tough (inedible) the chicken breast skewer was so hot and dry, the lamb kebab had no flavor clearly reheated by a microwaved and the shawarma was blah... zero flavor and dry. Not authentic at all.... $38.00 down the trash because we threw most of it away. Rice was parboiled yellow mush! How do you mess rice up?!?! We left disgusted. Won't go there again. read more

Their kebabs are delicious. I've never actually eaten them in the restaurant, I've always taken them to go. The staff is very friendly, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant is very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend this place. read more

Amazing double hummus is the way to go , don't sleep on the garlic spread. Amazing rice kabobs it's always a go to.

I've luved this place for 3 yrs...today, not so much. I'm standing in line to place a Togo order, woman takes the order of the people who came in after me, ok, I'll be patient. I order and 20 mins goes by, another couple people come and order, the people are eating that came in after me. Then she gives the last people their order She's just ignoring me, finally I get mine, last. The food was mediocre, I don't know what happened, meat tasteless, hummus watered down, salad brown, im finding a new place. read more

AV Kabob House - Rotisserie Chicken plate $18 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Lancaster, California

If I could give place zero stars I would...some of the worst food I've ever had. How does a place like this even stay business?!?! People are horrible and food is inedible! read more

This place is so dirty I'm afraid of seeing a rat or roach It's just convenient for the middle eastern store inside, But man they need to clean!!! How do they even have a good rating? Clean the place up organize the freezers toss away old produce! The old man I believe is the owner works on register then doesn't wash his hands and walks to the kitchen to help with food. Come on! I haven't eaten there just had ordered fries once and tasted like old grease.. hope they clean so we can have a decent middle eastern grocery store to feel comfortable shopping at. I will never order from them until they clean the place up. Sloppy joes right there. ‍‍ read more

There Kafta kebab was way to over cooked and dry!! Cant believe how bad it was. Had to throw half the expensive meal i paid so much for straight in the trash!! Only thing half descent was the rice and salad! Never will order kebab from here again!! Shame i was looking forward to making AV Kebab my regular now have to find another place! read more

Ladies, this is the place to go to be treated like a second class citizen, and get sub par food in the process. The service was terrible. The man behind the counter was rude and interrupting, and I was dismissed as insignificant. I ordered a falafel pita pictured on the menu as an open pita, stuffed with lettuce and falafel balls. When it arrived, in the plastic bag it looked like a little mini burrito wrapped in foil. It was not an open pita. It had been wrapped. Prior to that, I was told it would take 20 minutes to make, so I browsed and did some shopping. I bought some spices and rice crackers which I intended to enjoy with my meal. The first package of mixed rice crackers was stale so I set them aside and opened up a different bag and they were fine. After my meal, I told the man about the stale rice crackers and he said that was a managerial issue and he refused to refund me the cost of $2.50 which seemed a very poor business practice. Overall the pita was disappointing, and although the falafel was tender and the pita was fresh, it was stuffed with about a dozen slices of limp pickles. The last time I ate there, years ago, the falafel balls were very heavy and greasy, like they had been leftovers and reheated, and a different man was yelling at a young woman in the kitchen. I can not recommend this place and I will never return. In fact, I will actively discourage it to anybody inquiring about Middle Eastern or Mediterranean food in the Antelope Valley. read more

For those that like healthy mediterranean well this kabob is good. Almost no fat nor any spices. Natural all around chicken, salad and hummus. The beef kabob was super tough so my wife ended up throwing it away. As for those that mys be told by employees that the kabob is halal or kosher well neither is true. They verbally say it is halal and kosher but there are no reciepts nor any certificates to back up their claim... plus they sell ham in the store next door so definitely not zabihah halal anyway. As far as halal well depends on the scholarly opinion you follow I suppose. I gave 1 star because the beef was super rough and yet still bloody inside and also that they should not be telling people food is halal or kosher when it is not because that is against the law. read more

AV Kabob House - beef kabob trashed due to being rough and bloody. Most likely very cheap quality beef used. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Lancaster, California

Food is really good and prices are right, I went there yesterday and I was impressed with the flavors and the good enough portion of food, believe me you won't be disappointed!! read more

First of all, place is so dirty, black dust just about everywhere.. The hummus is made of some creamy consistency taste nothing like hummus so that's in question. Third, last time will be ordering from here.. yuck read more

Amazing Portions! I really love restaurants like this. Affordable prices but huge portions. I usually order the chicken kabob plate. The beef kabob was a little dry for me. The chicken kabob is solid. Thick chunks of chicken sitting over a bed of fluffy pilaf rice accompanied with a flavorful dollop of hummus and some veg. Also comes with a side of flat bread. Each plate also comes with some garlic spread. Get more if you can, that spread goes good with anything! I have a pretty large appetite and was unable to finish the entire thing. Will return! read more

AV Kabob House - Chicken Kabob Plate. Comes with flatbread and garlic spread - Middle Eastern Near Me - Lancaster, California

Don't know why everyone is going so hard on location and the staff. You live in the AV, so are you not use to sketchy areas by now? Lol and people can always seem racist to when there's a language barrier so chill. The food is amazing. I travel all over the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles, this food is definitely top 3 places I've eaten at for Mediterranean food. Best in the AV by a long shot. Food is made to order, chicken kabob is juicy and flavorful...rice is season well, and salad is very tasty. Usually this meal with a drink runs me about $20 anywhere else. I ate here with a drink for $13!!! That's insane!!! Keep up great work read more

AV Kabob House - Chicken kabob - Middle Eastern Near Me - Lancaster, California

Love eating here; the food is cooked fresh and is consistent every order. Nice family owned and has been around a long time.

The food is great, the service decent, the prices recently over the years have skyrocketed dramatically. But very good food and a large quantity of it. read more

HORRIBLE!!! If I could give 0 stars I would! Rude, unprofessional, dirty! I can't believe they have been here this long and they can't fix up this place?!? The "owner" or whoever he is, claims beef shawerma doesn't exist and shawerma only comes in chicken. I have eaten beef shawerma several times, so how does it not exist? What a joke! read more

Always good. Consistent taste and quality meats always tender. . Easy to order thru phone.

I used to work over there for 4 years, handle the store and the restaurant by myself , after I left they get so mad , upset. Every time I go there , they treated me bad , they don't want me to go any more , the owner and his wife . I went there today, I told her I wanna try the hummus before I get 2 bounds , and you can charge me whatever you want for it . She started talking to me bad and lack of respectful, and she told me clearly don't come to the store anymore , like the owner does before to me. They tried to make me look bad front of the people, but the customers already knows me better. They are rude and not professional . I don't want to talk about how dirty they are , because the people already can see everything. read more

I love their chicken kabob combo. That's my go to but I will be ordering something different one day.
