    Chicken plate, samosa app and falafel plate.
    Roshni G.

    Overall very impressed with the food, and the new set up of sit down dining. It's been a while since over tried it but i left full and content and plenty of leftovers - exactly why i ordered the dinner plate. Absolutely recommend the honey cauliflower appetizer.... Drool worthy!! One guy was super good, definitely an owner or family, but the rest of the staff could use a little more experience. It'll come with time, but just a little feedback for them to think about. For example, i was the first one there and asked for 3waters, after my friends arrived, the were never asked if they wanted anything else to drink. The combo lunch was missing one of the meats but they brought it out. I'll definitely be back and looking forward to trying their family dinners

    Combo Kabab Lunch $19
    Vivi C.

    Clean and nice ambiance. All the staff are super friendly and welcoming. They answered all our questions, provided recommendations and excellent customer service. Price is reasonable. There are lunch price and dinner price for each entree. Kababs are delicious, especially the beef kababs. The Garlic sauce is a must - make sure you ask for it. Will come back to try other items on the menu.

    Lamb shish kebab cooked to medium not what I ordered. I ordered rare hoping I would get medium rare. Well we see what we got.

    OK, this is my third time here because the first time was not good. Second time was just iffy now the third time I'm a little upset! Knowing that the menu says they cook their food to medium. I ordered rare on my shish kebab and I got not rare, but I got. If that? If they can't get a request order right I don't know what else to do but inspect it before I leave!

    The staff is very friendly, it is always welcoming and inviting. The taste of the food is great and live that I have tried different things on there menu. One reason for that is the student special they have every month for $10, so if you are a student you have to take advantage of that. The chicken bowl that I had by first look was very disappointing as there was only 5 pieces of chicken with rice for 20. My mind was changed after the first bite of the rice. It exceeded my expectations and it was complete with the salad. The meal overall was delicious, but had off proportions. The interior is a vibe, so check it out if you get the chance or it is great as takeout, which I tend to do.

    Spicy Chicken Bowl (I think it should be called a plate since they serve it in a plate)
    Janet M.

    It has been awhile since we last came here. I wanted something healthy so I suggested this place which we ended up going for dinner. The last time we were here, as soon as you come in you have to fall in line in cafeteria style setting where you select what you want from the base, to the protein to the toppings, etc. Then get seated and enjoy your meal. NOW, you get seated as soon as you enter the restaurant and then be handed the menu. By the way, the place is much bigger now since they extended to what used to be an open area. They closed that area and it is now part of the restaurant. A staff takes your order and then it is delivered to you. In short it is now your typical sit down restaurant. We ordered the spicy chicken bowl which is pretty big. It was more than I expected. He ordered the gyro wrap with fries. He had me try his fries and I found it to be salty. The prices are a little more than before but also they have more selections. Overall, this place isnt bad.

    I'm always wary about trying new food spots, but my partner and I decided to take a chance on Kabab City. And we were so pleasantly surprised! The food, service, and ambiance were all 10/10. On the menu, there is a delightful mix of meat & vegetarian options (which is difficult to come by in the Central Valley!). We ordered the samosas, honey garlic cauliflower, and a falafel wrap w/ fries. And let me tell you, the portions are HUGE. The photos speak for themselves- but 2 apps and 1 entree was wayyy more than enough for two people. And the price point is honestly great considering the amount of food you're getting.. We still had a whole meals-worth of leftovers! Our server was also incredibly attentive and sweet, and the overall vibe of this restaurant is just beautiful. After experiencing Kabab City, we were left wondering how they weren't busier! 10000% will be back.

    Spicy Chicken Bowl

    Ordered the spicy chicken bowl today 07/29/26 and this is how it came. This is the worse spicy chicken bowl i have received from them. Will not be going back again. I will only get kabab city from Fresno moving forward. Dry chicken with no sauce.

    Shawarma Wrap
    Harold S.

    I ordered the shawarma wrap. It was quite large. They prepare it right in front of you and let you pick the ingredients you wish to have them put inside, which is nice. While the amount of meat they put inside was quite generous, I was somewhat disappointed that the way they prepare the shawarma meat is to finely chop it. This is not the way I've had shawarma virtually every other place I've ever been to. The meat seemed somewhat dry, so I was left with the feeling that this technique was used to overcome the quality of the meat they use. Of course, there aren't a lot of Mediterranean restaurants in Merced, so it was nice to find a place in town that serves up this type of cuisine.

    Kafta Burger Falafel Plate

    Even though we came in at a time so close to closing, they still welcomed us and were enthusiastic to serve us. We took a really long time looking at the menu but they were really chill about it. After we ordered another server we hadn't met yet came back with our food saying "I hope you guys are hungry" and it just set the tone for the nice welcoming vibe of the place. The food was fire those french fries are definitely a must. Even though we were there past closing and they turned their music off, we were asked for any song recommendations and they qued up some Michael Jackson for us per request. Adrian was such a nice guy and will definitely be seeing him again. 10/10 will be coming back

    Perfect spot for lunch! They serve large plates, soups, salads, wraps and family meals with a variety of meats to choose including chicken, beef, spicy or mild, with or without curry, kafta kabob, veggie plate and gyros. There are plenty of toppings available as well. We had planned to share a plate since the portions looked generous, and the server kindly gave us extra rice and salad when she heard we were sharing. Everyone is super nice and they genuinely care for their customers. Everything was delicious as well. Very well designed store with plenty of inside and outside covered seating available. We will definitely be back!

    From start to finish, our experience at this kabob restaurant was absolutely outstanding. Days…read morebefore our visit, we called ahead to ask if they could accommodate a fairly large lunch gathering of 30 people, and they didn't hesitate for a moment. They were incredibly gracious, welcoming, and organized, which immediately set the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic experience. The food was phenomenal--perfectly cooked kabobs that were flavorful, tender, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. It was the kind of meal where everyone at the table was talking about how good their plate was, which says a lot when you're serving a group that size. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient, making sure everyone was taken care of without ever feeling rushed. Hosting 30 people is no small task, but they handled it seamlessly and with genuine warmth. Amazing food, amazing service, and exceptional hospitality. If you're looking for a place that delivers incredible kabobs and truly knows how to take care of their guests--whether it's a small meal or a large gathering--this spot deserves your highest recommendation. We'll absolutely be back.

    Royal India is definitely worth a visit!…read more The staff were super friendly, attentive, and took the time to explain the different options. And here's the best part -- $11.99 gets you an all-you-can-eat buffet! There are multiple types of naan, chai tea, and a great variety of dishes. The buffet had a nice mix of vegetarian and meat options, along with chutneys, fresh veggies, rice, and plenty to keep your plate busy. You can enjoy the daily buffet or order straight from the menu if you're looking for something specific. The booth seating works great for small groups, and the entire restaurant was super clean and well maintained. Great food, great value, friendly people, and enough variety to make your taste buds very happy. If you haven't tried Royal India yet, go hungry and give it a try!
