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!

Menu pricing

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.

1 kabob chicken skewer

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

This Mediterranean place is an absolute treat. Inside it is clean, organized and has great…read moredecoration on the walls. The interior has a great aroma that was fresh and mouth watering. Outside is the complete opposite. It kind of reminds me of Nevada, there were tumbleweeds, unsafe territory and although it appears uncomfortable to walk around, there were no crimes nearby. However, at night it can be extra dangerous and scary. The food ordered was the chicken kabob combo, 6 pieces of chicken, which also included jasmine and yellow rice. The sauces ordered were baba ganoush and tzatziki. Another small side was spicy potato. Luckily this was complimentary and was not bad at all. The owner and his wife greeted me and my accomplice as we sat down. Fortunately we were the only customers which meant the wait for our food was shorter than it could be. The customer service was great and I felt safe inside. A large portrait of the Declaration of Independence was shown in front of me. A statue of snoop dogg was inside and two chairs that should be in a hair saloon were in a small corner. An interesting decor that I would otherwise not be able to see in other places. The personality of the man was unique, he was friendly but comedic at times. The negative only included getting our own food at the counter and probably portion to price ratio was off. The price was 22$ and elsewhere Mediterranean food was cheaper but not a lot cheaper. The value was okay. The best part of my meal was the texture of the chicken kabob as it was dipped in a white garlic cheese sauce and a jalapeño green one. The baba ganoush was alright, the tzatziki was fresh tasting. The experience here was outstanding. The only other negative although it was not our concern, was an elderly woman came in and was crying, begging for money because she had a disease and couldn't afford to pay for the medication at a nearby Walgreens. It was scary, but she didn't interact with us, just the owner. It was about 3 minutes and she left with some change. The owner is nice, if he was the Egyptian man as he claimed. The service was good quality and the time to get our order was fairly decent although it could have been faster. It was about a 30 minute wait more or less. I would recommend this place over the house of kebab in terms of flavor, but the price over at house of Kebob has a better value price per quantity. The taste was better here in my opinion, but the Shawarma definitely wins at house of kebob. Overall solid 5/5 experience despite the minor negatives: old woman crying, walk up for food instead of served, price per quantity/value and unsafe environment.

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've been coming to AV Kabob House for years, ever since I worked nearby, and it has never…read moredisappointed 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!

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.
