    Love love love this place, fresh and delicious food. The steak plate is super good, tender steak, good salad dressing. I love the garlic and chili sauce! A must try!

    First time here, as my favorite Mediterranean restaurant is closed on Sundays. (Armani's). Called it in for pick up. I've tried Olives, which is very good and House of Kabob which is decent. My opinion- The food here falls in 4th place from the above mentioned restaurants. The flavor was OK but in my opinion, I have enjoyed other places more. I ordered the 2 skewer steak at $17.99 and the 3 skewer steak for $22.99. The service was good and the place was clean and quaint. The 3 stars are for A- flavor, salad had brown (wilted spots) but mainly for the pricing. The total was $40.98 plus taxes of $4.25. No receipt was given and she charged $48.75 That's $4.61 more than advertised on their Yelp menus which seems shady. Unfortunately I drove a little over 11 miles one way just to give them a try and by the time I got back home (22.8 miles) I noticed the discrepancy. Unfortunately, this will be a one and done for me.

    Spicy charred jalapeño. Pretty hot.

    The ground beef Lula kabobs that i had last year was tender and juicy. This time it was a little dry, but overall great home cooked meal. The chicken was very juicy and a 13-15 minute wait. This time they're selling a pistachio yogurt looking dessert and toffee pudding with Biscoff cookies in their Monster refrigerator near the front counter. They're also selling baklava and another pastry that looks like knafeh. The 3 mixed kabob meal was $24.46. I'll try the desserts next time.

    The gyro was delicious!

    First time customer. Hidden away on Avenue S, this family-owned place makes a delicious gyro. Fresh ingredients and just...superior to all the fast food offerings. I feel energized and nourished! This place is SPOTLESS! Nice place to sit if you want to eat there. Going to have to come back to try the kabob. Thank you Cali's! I will be back.

    The food here is always amazing, and I truly enjoy coming with my family--it's one of our go-to spots. However, during my recent visit to pick up a to-go order I had placed over the phone, I had an unfortunate experience with the staff member working the front counter. When I walked in, I was speaking with my boyfriend and didn't immediately hear the employee ask if I was there for a pickup. As I approached the counter, she repeated herself, but in a noticeably rude and impatient tone. The interaction continued to feel unnecessarily tense--after we paid, she told me to sign the receipt in a dismissive way. When I didn't see a designated signature line and asked where to sign, she said, "anywhere," again with an unwelcoming attitude. While the food and atmosphere are consistently great, customer service is also an important part of the dining experience, and I hope this feedback helps improve future interactions.

    Absolutely delicious! Ordered chicken kabob with rice and hummus! And the salad everything was so good definitely coming back

    I ordered to go. The food tasted great and I really enjoyed the garlic sauce. Unfortunately for me my chicken was raw.

    Is this halal all meat?

    Hello, we strive to obtain all Halal meat however, it depends on availability of the product from the supplier. currently, we have Halal lamb meat and awaiting shipment from vendor for chicken and beef Halal meat.

    Is it ok to call in a family order and pick up the same day?

    I did this for Mother's Day. It was a very large order so I went in 3-4 days before and made my order. But I'm pretty sure you can call the day of and place the order. And…

We normally call in our order for pickup and everything is always ready on time, which makes it really convenient. I get the chicken kabob plate and my husband goes for the combo with chicken kabob with either lamb or lule. The meats are always tender and juicy, and everything is seasoned really well without being too heavy. The portions are generous and the sides are just as good. Their garlic sauce is honestly one of my favorite parts, it's sooo flavorful, and the hummus is smooth and well balanced. I also love their pear soda, it's very refreshing. One thing that stood out during our last visit was the service. My husband mentioned how much I loved their garlic sauce and the front worker added an extra one for us, which was really thoughtful. Each plate already comes with one, so that small gesture really stood out. Overall this is one of our go to spots when we're craving kabobs. If you're in the area and want something authentic and consistently good, this place is definitely worth trying.

I was in the mood for a good hearty salad as I had a heavy seafood meal the night before and was planning on big bbq for weekend so I wanted to kinda have a clean fill up in between! So we selected the chicken kebab salad, something with the Lulu and Shawarma chicken, the tzatziki dip with some pita bread and a bottle of Pinot Grigio. To me the kebabs were a bit too charred I'm not sure if that's how they should be or not. I was expecting soft savory meat not a dry different version of bbq meat. The dressing was dryer than expected (that was my best adjective at the moment) it was vinegar overpowering. I had hoped for think more of a fruit maybe flavored balsamic taste. I didn't finish it I just ended up drinking lunch along with the tzatziki dip. I did like the rice that came with my mother's meal too. It was flavorful and made perfectly (unlike my rice!) So for me this was a one and done type a place I'm glad I experienced it, but I won't be back.

The atmosphere felt unwelcoming, and one of the employees repeatedly stared at me in a way that made me feel uncomfortable.

The dishes tasted under-seasoned and seemed to be missing the attention and care that make a meal memorable. Everyone's taste is different, but for me, the food lacked the flavor and quality I was expecting based on the reviews and reputation. Good customer service can sometimes make up for an average meal, and great food can sometimes make up for average service. Unfortunately, in my experience, neither delivered. I hope the restaurant takes customer feedback seriously and makes improvements.
