This place absolutely nailed it again! I ordered the lamb shank mouza and it was the kind of dish that makes you slow down mid-bite because your brain is busy filing it away as "new comfort food." The lamb was fall-apart tender--rich, deeply seasoned, and cooked the way lamb should be: flavorful all the way through, not just on the surface. It was a foodie's heaven, and it paired perfectly with the fragrant rice, which was fluffy, aromatic, and clearly made with care (not the bland afterthought rice you get in too many places). The shish tawook was just as impressive--juicy, char-kissed, and marinated so well you could taste the citrusy, garlicky brightness in every bite. It had that ideal balance: smoky edges, tender center, and zero dryness. I'd order it again on its own without hesitation. And the hummus? Smooth, creamy, and legitimately craveable. The flavor was clean and bright, with that perfect lemon-tahini balance, and it tasted fresh--not like something scooped from a tub. It was the kind of hummus that makes you keep "just one more bite"-ing until it's suddenly gone. Overall: generous portions, bold flavors, and that unmistakable "someone in this kitchen truly cares" feeling. If you like Mediterranean food even a little, this is the kind of meal that turns into a repeat stop. read more

After looking deeper into the menu, I decided to return here and give some items a try. I was most interested in the Chicken Mandi, Kibbah, Haneeth, and their Lamb Shank! So over several visits I tried the Lamb Shanks and the Chicken Mandi, along with sides of Hummus and Baba Ghanoush! The Chicken is slow cooked, well seasoned with a Yemeni spice mixture called Hawaij! This is a combination of black pepper, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cloves, and cardamon. The chicken is cooked over rice, allowing the juices and fat to drip into the rice. The entire process gives the rice a rich, smoky flavor. Here 1/2 a chicken is served over this smoky rice, and a small Baladi salad is included! The salad is a mix of tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce with olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice. The salad is small, and the lettuce was old, deep striped with brown coloration! The dressing lacked any semblance of flavor - not a fan of this mess! The chicken was decent, may have been better had it been cooked to order rather than reheated from a previous day. This place is trying to skirt by, we'll see how that works out! read more

The food was delicious. I really loved the limonada. It was delicious and frothy. So good. The service was slow but I honestly wasn't in a rush. The gentleman that served us was nice and helpful even brought us baklava for my friends for free. I would suggest for them to hire a couple more people but its a fairly new place so I hope they do well. I will definitely go back. read more

Wow, I was pleasantly surprised with this place to be honest. I came in with very high standards having lived in Toledo and Cleveland comparing it to my favorite spots in Detroit, Dearborn, Toledo, and Cleveland but it was actually pretty good! The portions are generous and the food tastes good, that's a fact. The chicken shawarma platter was good. The chicken itself was absolutely delicious but the dish as a whole was a little dry without any sauce or anything. The side salad is mediocre as they always are but no complaints there. The kafta was really well seasoned, it just didn't have the same level of juiciness and char as the best I have had but the seasoning was spot on. The rice was great. Our biggest gripe was the 7.99 hummus appetizer. The hummus itself surprised us, it was actually really good! Great smooth texture even if it lacked a tiny bit in flavor. Definitely the best hummus I've had in town though. What got us is that it says it comes with pita but it doesn't, it's fried pita chips which was super disappointing! Would I go back? Actually yes. Despite some small drawbacks, it 100% scratched the itch for good middle eastern food and I think did it justice. I would go back to get the chicken shawarma as a sandwich instead of a platter cause the chicken itself was SO GOOD. I think the pickles and garlic sauce etc. would add much needed moisture to the mix and really be good. read more

I would recommend based on the food only. Both of our entrees were good. We had a salad and side of hummus, both were a little plain. The chicken shawarma was tasty, even though it was dry. I had to request some halal sauce. The flavor of the charred chicken was delicious. The service and atmosphere were fine, nothing special. I am willing to try this place again, but would be inclined to get it to go, pass on the salad and hummus. read more

Finally! Middle Eastern food in Winston Salem! I am giving this place 4 stars because I see the potential but I will say we had a few issues during our visit. I won't focus on that because the flavors once we actually got the food were delicious. We got the chicken shawarma pita which was delicious although we were told it came with fries it did not. We were charged $4.99 for the amount of fries you see on the platter. I found that to be a bit pricey for 15 fries lol. But other than that it was great! We got the Mazza platter which was also fantastic- lots of great dips. Loved the hummus and my mom loved the babaghanoush! The tabouli had lots of fresh herbs and was very good as well. Our waitress was very kind and there are nice touches of middle eastern decor. We went the second week they opened but will be trying them again! read more

Maybe I came on a bad evening, but I wasn't really impressed. The food was ok. The hummus had no flavor. The service was poor unfortunately. Only two guys were working, one in the kitchen, and the other trying to help in the kitchen and manage the orders and payments. Hopefully they will get help soon, and survive. read more

Glad to have some kebab options in Winston! They had quite a lot of options to choose from - which we appreciated! The meat was crispy / charred (in the best way) and flavorful, the sauce hit the spot and balanced the flavors out. I think more vegetables would balance out the dishes- for example would've loved to have some fresh veggies along with the fatter shawarma and the kofta kebabs or to dip the hummus in. But all in all - good flavor and very quick service! I'm curious to try their other menu offerings! There is a 3% CC charge just fyi! read more

We saw this place on a local Winston Salem page to try out and thought we should branch out from our norms. To start, the people were friendly and service was attentive as it was a slow day...maybe one other group there? My first red flag should have been my 9 year old saying "this looks like a place Gordon Ramsay would come and try and fix on one of his shows" but I hushed him and said that it was just a hole in the wall shop and it was nice to try new places. As our server showed up to take our order he then pointed out the dead cockroach under our table. Embarrassed I hushed him again and ordered as I am an introvert and wouldn't want to hurt their feelings. As I was looking at the menu the waitresses grabbed my cup, which my 1 year old was trying to grab. As grateful as I was that she was able to catch it, I also would have liked a new cup as her whole hand went on the inside of my cup to ensure it didn't tip. Luckily I'm not a germaphobe but it certainly made me cringe a little that she didn't offer... We ordered hummus, which was great and the pita chips were excellent. The meal portions were just ok for the sandwich/wrap section. My husband ordered from there and his was quite smaller than expected but tasted ok. I got an entree that had a salad, rice and chicken. It was a decent amount. I don't have a lot of experience with middle eastern food so I can't say whether it was on par or not as far as taste. I didn't love it. But it may just be my taste preference and it wasn't -bad-. The portion sizes seemed a little small but it also wasn't overly expensive so we left mostly satisfied with our food. The kids meal was good and my son enjoyed his burger and fries. The waitress offered pita slices for our 1 year old which was nice. I didn't grab any pictures because we were in and out and my phone was dying. I'd definitely give this place a second try some day. Maybe just get rid of the dead cockroaches under the dining tables first. read more

Worst food in town and worst customer service ever. I could not eat this Shawarma so I tried to talk to the chef he was super rude and offended, so I didn't really wanna argue with him. I just paid and left. Trust me do not go there. You will lose your time and you'll stay hungry and go eat somewhere else. read more

Hummus Kabab & Grill - Worst food in town . bad customer service .I could not eat this Shawarma was awful - Middle Eastern Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

We wanted to love this place - being from the Detroit area we are very familiar with excellent middle eastern food-this is not even good. Humus, tabuleh and baba ganoush had an off flavor. Pita bread was stale. Pita chips were stale. The halal meat tasted old and the garlic sauce was loaded up on it wayyyy too much. The salad was wilty. Rice seemed old. Husband's chicken (chicken Mandi) was cooked pretty good which is the only reason they went from a 2 to 3. Now onto cleanliness- please do better!! Plate seemed dirty. Drinking cup seemed dirty. My entree came in a freakin foil to go container while my husbands was plated....??? The server was really nice but in no way anticipated what we needed- meaning we had to ask for everything basic such as refills, plates for the appetizers, napkins, to go boxes, the check.... They were short staffed with only one other patron there?! Our server did it all besides cooking (answered phone and bagged to go orders) - he never checked on us once but he was still nice. Ughh....sadly we won't go back and do not recommend. read more

Fantastic food and service . Also the atmosphere is unique. Food was tender and well presented read more

Hummus Kabab & Grill - Mix grill with extra skewer - Middle Eastern Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

My first time eating Middle Eastern food. The restaurant smelled amazing. The service was excellent. Our server was very patient and answered all questions. The food was fresh. I felt the quantity of food was on par with the pricing. My husband had the mixed grill and really enjoyed the chicken and lamb kababs. I had the Hawashi. Loved it. Toasted beautifully and the filling was nice. The fries were fabulous. Hot and crispy. We will be going again to try another dish. read more

Food was terrible. We should have backed out when we saw the food on the restaurant floor that hadn't been cleaned up from previous patrons, but we didn't. We should have left when we saw the cook on his knees on the floor in the kitchen, but we didn't. We waited over 45 minutes for falafel pitas. We took one bite and noped out of there. Save your money. This shouldn't be billed as Middle Eastern food. read more

I love Mediteranian food and decided to give this place a try for my birthday due to its positive reviews. The food arrived quickly after I ordered it, but it was very cold and expensive for the amount of meat provided and the overall poor quality of the food. For example, most of the meat was tough and dry, and the "salad" was shredded lettuce, tomato bits, and cucumbers. Perhaps it was an off day, but I will not be eating at Hummus and Kabab Grill again. I do not usually leave reviews, but I was so disappointed with the meal that I felt compelled to review this place. read more
