I'm always in the mood for Mediterranean food and my wife hears about this little place. It's tucked away in a Chevron service station. There are 3 tables inside. They are basic, but very comfortable. The service is wonderful. We ordered the chicken kabob plate. It comes with a small salad, hummus, and pita. 8 pieces of chicken! The chicken is tender and delicious. The garlic paste adds flavor. There is ample rice. The hummus rounds everything out. It may be a little difficult to find, but if you like good Mediterranean food, you must give this place a try. read more

Delicious food with the nicest owner ever! It's inside the Chevron in an unassuming plaza. Ordered the falafel plate and beef sharawama bowl. The owner made the falafel fresh and it was so good -- one of the best falafels I've had in awhile. It's a one-man show so it takes a little awhile to order and get your food but trust the food is bomb with big portions. read more

Awesome food and great service. A definite must try in Bakersfield. Food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked, salad was fresh, and hummus was delightful. Definitely opt in for the Tahini. read more

Jeje’s Kitchen - Chicken Shawarma Plate - Kebab Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This is definitely a hidden gem in Bakersfield and when I say it's hidden It's even inside the chevron gas station. This is my first time trying their food and I'll definitely be back. I ordered the falafel wrap and my husband got the beef kebab wrap. The order is made fresh to order right in front of you, they pack the ingredients which I appreciate and the serving is plentiful. It was delicious, and fresh. I've tried falafel before and it can be dry but this was not dry. Staff was very welcoming, willing to give suggestions and location was clean and service didn't take a long time. The atmosphere and staff were welcoming. We did bring it back home and it was still warm when we arrived. Highly recommend read more

This is a great spot to get a bite on the run. While traveling back home from Las Vegas. We located a quick bite along our route. I love Shawarmas, so we stopped by. I met Jeje and was pleasantly surprised reasonable pricing, clean, kitchen, new equipment and a friendly smile and awesome service. I ordered the chicken, it was good, but I was not familiar with the flat iron grill press method used to toast wrap, not that familiar with that toasting method. I'm a big bold flavor guy and I was hoping for more flavor with the chicken first and foremost..... I noticed the chicken was a bit dry, I'm glad I got sauces. "Tip"....I worked in this industry doing the same thing and we marinated our Chicken over night in a 5 - 10 gallon Kitchen container with seasoning and more! This would make sure that when we grilled meat it was moist and flavorful. Overall I liked it and will give them another try when I pass through Bakersfield next time..... I would differently recommend them for a quick bite on the run or dine in! I like my wrap lightly toasted on top of the flat grill without the Case Iron Press personally. A lighter toast would make it easier to enjoy for folks with sensitive teeth. Overall a great spot, it can only get better over time, thank you Jeje's keep it rocking! read more

It's a bit pricy but it's better than Flame and Skewer. I was a bit disappointed because it was my first time there and they offered for me to try their Ribeye Plate, which I was excited to try, then they tell me that they don't have ribeye. So, I got the beef kabob, which was good. I was just disappointed that they didn't give me my pita bread that was supposed to be included and I had even asked for it. But overall it was good taste wise. Maybe I'll go back to try the Ribeye and hopefully get my pita bread read more

Wow, what a find! It was one the best kabobs that I've ever had. There's been more and more food gems popping up in gas stations. This one of them. We stumbled upon it while passing through. The nearby Tesla charging station and the gas station housing Jeje's make it a must stop to refuel the car and body. The chef (owner) was gracious and clearly proud to serve his food--and for good reason. It would be great to see a few more seats inside but we happily sat in our car and enjoyed the delicious meal. One other testament of the quality is we woke up the next morning still raving about our dinner. read more

Super convenient, food is great. Service is good and quick. Overall solid choice for some good quick food. Specifically beef shawarma and chicken fajita sandwich hit well. read more

Absolutely phenomenal. Im not from the area but love mediterranean and saw this place pop up near the hotel. Walked over and found that its in a gas station, granted, Jeje the owner just opened in 2024. Told me it would take a few minutes, and rightfully so! Food was 11/10 awesome awesome! Owner was the one making the food and super friendly and helpful and thoughtful. Get this man some business! He deserves it! read more

The best and the yummiest falafels I ever tasted. The cheesesteak sandwich and pita bread are delicious too! We enjoyed our quick lunch today. read more

Had the pleasure of meeting Jeje and her sister(mother ). They are an absolute delight. The food was delicious! We ordered two beef kabobs plates and man oh man was it all packed with flavor! The rice had a hint of cardamon and either saffron or turmeric. It was very good. The side salad was a Greek type salad with lettuce and vinegar and was very refreshing and tasty. The tahini and garlic sauce were onnn point and complimented the food perfectly. Jeje even gave us a little side of pomegranate molasses sauce while we were eating and it was such a nice little addition to the kebab. The place is inside of the chevron so it's a little hidden but maps will take you straight there. Inside seating is limited to 1 table 4 chairs but it's not a big deal to stand and eat or just sit outside on the sidewalk. Restroom is very clean inside the gas station. If your driving by and your hungry definitely stop by this place is great and the employees are all kind. Gas station clerk was chill AF as well. read more

OMGSH!! AHHHMAZING!! Truth be told, I was nervous that the quality wouldn't be good because it's located inside a Chevron, but Jeje's did NOT DISAPPOINT!! I got a chicken skewer and a beef skewer. Chicken was sooo juicy!! And the beef was sooo flavorful!! Owner was extremely nice and welcoming!! I don't live in Bakersfield but will DEFINITELY be coming back if I'm ever in the area!! Hummus also looks and tastes homemade!! Nice and creamy DROOOOOL!! And the tahini sauce is also really good!! Thank you so much for literally making my day w such delicious and flavorful food!! So bomb I HAD TO POST A REVIEW!! read more

Jeje's Kitchen is one of a kind. I knew as soon as the chunks of ribeye kebab's came out to the grill I made the right decision. I ordered the beef shawarma and ribeye plate. Plate came with a bed of rice, salad, and a heap of garlic paste. With the grilled tomatoes and onions oof. And the shawarma... words fail me but I urge you to not miss out. You're in good hands. Warm, welcoming and ready to set you straight with a side of tahini. It's an unassuming spot inside Chevron. You may not notice the full kitchen on entry just keep going forward and right. They're moving soon and I wish them the absolute best in their next location. I'll be there (sorry this took so long Jeje!) read more

I feel like I'm witnessing a culinary star in the making. They opened five months ago inside a gas station and are serving incredible smooth hummus and fluffy falafel. Super nice owner too. If this place was in LA I'd be a regular read more

Tasty and friendly. I had the chicken shwarma wrap and hummus. They were full of flavor... the wrap is grilled and had a touch of heat and grilled veggies. I could take a little more heat, but I bet that is something I could ask for next time and that my request would be accomodated. This grill is located at the InstaStop Chevron station across from Costco and is a nice alternative for a quick, freshly prepared meal. The ambiance is tidy and clean with a nice selection of snacks and beverages. I will be back! read more

Got the beef shawarma wrap and the chicken shawarma plate. Good portions but the flavor just totally blew me away. I would recommend either but the plate was more well rounded. The vinegar heavy side salad/vegetable thing was excellent and so was the rice. Every component complemented each other and the best bites had a bit of everything. Immediately wanted to return the next day. Trust me on a plate. read more

Food is okay probably would have given more stars if they didn't charge for the pita chips they offered me with my meal. What a scam.

Incredibly friendly service and great food. The chicken kebab plate was top notch. Great stop on Rosedale Highway.

In my opinion this is the best Levantine food in the area. The owners are a super nice family. It's in a gas station but it's a full kitchen setup and they keep it SUPER CLEAN. Truly immaculate. Obviously, I just take it to go since it's in a gas station convenience store, but it travels well. I don't review often, but when the food's this good and the owners this kind, I feel bad not giving them the review they deserve. True 5 star. read more

This place is awesome! What a great find (just opened)! The food is amazing. I tried the chicken shawarma with everything on it. The chicken was juicy and had great flavor. The veggies were fresh and the wrap was one of the best I ever had. The garlic paste was out of this world. This is what we call a whole in the wall great find at the Chevron gas station by Benji's the owner was genuine, very nice and happy to share his food with you! read more

Such good food inside a gas station mini mart. Well seasoned meats with fresh ingredients. So much better than the usual fast food.

Amazing kebabs! Amazing salad! And I LOVE the tzatziki, it's not too salty and it's freshly made always. I live in Las Vegas and often travel through Cali for work, I ALWAYS stop here. 10/10 if you're reading this review just stop and go on ahead and get you a plate! lol read more

No it's not a 5 star restaurant but I give it a 5 for Mediterranean food. This is in a Chevron fuel station, more of a take out.I come every couple months for work and I stay in the hotels behind the business. Fuel station or not Jeje's is delicious. I believe the couple I interacted with are the owners or a Family owned business overall and they are amazing. read more

Absolutely amazing! Best Falafel wrap I've ever had. The Gentleman who seems to be the owner is a kind and thoughtful business owner. Highly recommend! read more

We stopped by to the use the restroom at the Chevron from our drive to San Francisco and were starting to get hungry! We noticed a little restaurant inside and the owner was just setting up. He was super friendly and let us try a falafel. WOW! All my life I have never had such a fluffy, crispy and delicious falafel till today. It wasn't greasy at all and I probably could've eaten a dozen of those. I shared a falafel sandwich on a pita with my husband and we regrettably did not order two to begin with. It was the perfect balance of everything. Their hummus is also safe for work! You will not reek like a garlic farm afterwards. The hummus was also the best I've ever had, literally. It was light and creamy and delicious. His hospitality was just the cherry on top! Thank you for making our day! read more

Great food and friendly service. They gave us a free falafel while we were waiting. Note that this is in a convenience store, and there is no signage outside, so don't be fooled. The food was excellent, and although there was no place to sit, we took it back to the hotel and had a wonderful meal. read more

Food was good service was excellent. Well, worth the price. We will be back for sure. Really enjoyed protein bowl and shawarma

The food was amazing the service was awesome one of the best Mediterranean spots in Bakersfield must have it

Noticed the sign on my way to Costco and had to stop by. great customer service and excellent food! The tahini sauce is some of the best I've had and it paired well with the falafel. The chicken shawarma was equally as good and so filling, the portions are quite generous. Will be my go to spot when I'm in the area :) read more

Best food I've had in a long time!! I normally don't leave reviews but guys I had to! This is a hidden gem! The owners were incredibly kind and friendly about just to me but to everyone around them! I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and a chicken protein bowl! I got a side of pita chips and hummus and tzatziki! They make each order fresh and in front of you so it's guaranteed to be perfect! My Bestfriend came in later in the day to get more pita chips and hummus and the tzatziki because I shared everything with her and she also fell in love it! The portions are ginormous! I'm pregnant and can out eat a ton of people and I still had half my bowl left for dinner! The owner makes every single thing fresh everyday...that's the best hummus and tzatziki I've ever had and the bowl and shawarma were close seconds! The pita chips are so crispy and yummy and I'm telling you that I'm gonna come back a ton of times! It's also right across the street from Costco so it's in a super convenient spot! Check it out for yourself, you'll never go anywhere else! read more
