7:29pm.... We purchased our food. Literally no one here. Except for a few people outside already eating. All my wife and I hear is talking, jokes, and banging in the kitchen. Still no food. If you want to see people not working, talking and messing around while you're hungry. Probably this is the place for you. It's 7:55pm, this place is empty and we still don't have our food. *EDIT- I went to go check on the food and it looks like the workers were busy flirting. So much they over cooked the one Kefta Kabob and took 30mins the cut the chicken swarma. We finally received our food around 8pm read more

We haven't eaten here in at least five years, so we were incredibly excited to give it another go. Naturally, prices have gone up--we've actually been around since this place's "birth," so watching a two-skewer combo skyrocket from $13 to $23 was a bit of a jump. Still, we fondly remembered their generous, delicious portions, so we placed an online order. ​The website didn't give a readiness time, but remembering that they used to prepare everything fresh and take their sweet time, I told my husband we should wait a bit before heading out. ​When I walked in, the employees were chatting and laughing, which was nice to see. Then I noticed a pile of takeout orders sitting on a shelf. Hungry as I was, I silently prayed none of them were ours; I utterly despise cold food. I gave my name to the cashier--who skipped the greeting entirely--and was told it wasn't ready yet. I said thanks and took a seat. ​While I was waiting, another customer asked about her order and was initially dismissed with a "no." After a second look, the cashier called her back: "Oh, this is yours. It's been ready." No apology, just a cold shoulder. The customer was understandably ticked off. ​The real plot twist, however, happened when I got home. Apparently, "two skewers" now translates to a grand total of five pieces of chicken. That is definitely not what it used to be. To make matters worse, my worst nightmare came true: the food was cold. Well, not the chicken, but the french fries and pita bread were stone-cold and stale. ​Lately, I've been going to Luna Grill down the street. They actually serve fresh, much tastier food--and at prices that don't feel like highway robbery. read more

I like this restaurant, but Cerritos was not my favorite location. We ordered the family style meal. It took a while to receive our food at the table. Food was ok. Most of the chicken was dry, the meat was hard to chew, the rice was colder than the meats and didn't taste as if it was cooked enough. It seems they rushed the food out. The avocado salad had avocados that were not ripe yet. The place itself is maintained cleaned with a vibrant aesthetic. Our waiter was kind and helpful. The three stars are more for the quality of the food. I would come to try eating here again despite the bad experience today with the food. read more

I had the steak kabob tonight. It was . It comes with more rice than I could ever eat and they must make it with broth instead of water because it's real good. The sides were beet salad and cucumber yogurt. Also ! I've been here probably 20 times and had almost everything on the menu. It never disappoints! Check it out. read more

Kabab Crush delivers a satisfying and well-executed meal with their Beef Kabab Combo Plate. While it's a bit on the pricier side, the portion more than justifies the cost. The plate comes with three filet mignon skewers, each incredibly juicy, buttery, and tender--clearly cooked with care and quality ingredients. The rice is another highlight: deeply flavorful with just the right amount of seasoning, making it a perfect complement rather than an afterthought. The combo also includes pita and two sides; I chose the hummus and yogurt cucumber, which added a nice balance of richness and freshness to the meal. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, as the food does take some time, but it's evident everything is made fresh and to order--well worth the patience. Overall, a hearty, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared plate that earns a solid 5 read more

Finally doing this spot justice with a review because this is hands-down hubby and I's favorite Mediterranean place. We've been here a good five times and I'm finally writing a review--better late than never. Parking is easy and there's a decent amount of seating both inside and outside. Ambience-wise, it's your typical fast-casual, in-and-out vibe. Nothing fancy and not super pretty inside, but don't let that fool you. Once the food hits your tongue, it's game over. Hubby and I are creatures of habit and always order our usual plates. He gets the beef and lamb kebabs, and honestly the portion sizes are so generous that our plates are interchangeable every single visit. A must-have side is their Mediterranean salad--get the large so you can save some for leftovers the next day. For my plate, I always order the red cabbage, hummus, sumac onions, and of course the Mediterranean salad, and it is always absolutely delicious. For the entrée, I go with the chicken and beef shawarma. The meat is perfectly shredded and pairs so well with their fluffy rice, plus the generous amount of garlic and tahini sauce. The only downside I would say is the pita bread. I personally don't care for how dry it can be, but to be fair, the best pita bread I've ever had was in Athens, Greece, so it's very hard to compare when most pita breads here are premade. Service is always fast and on point. This place is an absolute must-try if you're craving Mediterranean food. Happy eats! read more

I went in and asked for 2 entrees, for Mediterranean salad and hummus in both. I come home and see there's double servings of Mediterranean salad instead of salad and hummus. I call to ask about this. I explain the situation, then the employee says she confirmed I wanted double Mediterranean salad for both entrees. If this was miscommunication, that's fine, but that's on both ends. But to spend the time on the call telling me I confirmed something I don't even recall being asked is kinda crazy. Like how are you even supposed to prove who's right? I don't know but that employee seems super convinced she's right, and I know I didn't get what I ordered. They've just lost a local customer. Wild. read more

This is one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants. They have a whole page of sides to choose from. I had the Mediterranean salad and the Mediterranean potato salad with rice and chicken. I didn't specify chicken kebab and they gave me a different chicken and I didn't like it. It was my fault. They were nice enough to cook me chicken kebabs to replace the other ones. It was totally delicious. Everything here is so good. The people are really nice and they go out of their way to make sure that you're happy with your meal. Thanks to everybody for fixing it for me so that I totally enjoyed every bite. read more

Husband and I shared a large chicken kebab plate (3 skewers) with tabbouleh, hummus and half rice/half salad and wow, such a solid place for a solid price! Chicken was so juicy and the rice was way more flavorful than I thought! Salad though did not disappoint so I'd be torn between getting more rice or doing half salad again. This is a regular place for our friends who got lamb kebab plate and beef kebab plate On a side note...I docked a star cause of my confusion. It could be an issue of transparency, so if anyone can shed light on it, great. The total WITH tax came out to $74, which is what the worker sbut card got charged $76.22. When I asked about it, she said it's tax but the $74 already included tax so...?? Is it an additional card charge that I wasn't aware of? read more

Much better this time around. The chicken was not dry and was very flavorful. Fairly good portion but I think they could put more chicken in the shawarma plate. Overall, a great lunch spot that's filling and tasty. read more

Kabab Crush - Chicken Shawarma. Dry and chewy but flavor was good - Mediterranean Near Me - Artesia, California

Food was ok. I got the combo plate with chicken, lamb and steak. Added rice and hummus and onions. It was a busy saturday and almost all tables were taken. Thats a good sign that this place gets business. People are saying the portion sizes are smaller, but they look fine to me at a decent price. Overall a pretty good meal. The only items i didn't care for was the rice and the chicken tasted a bit dry. The steak and lamb was ok. It wasn't succulent or juicy like the steak\chicken i get from the kebob shop down the road and they have the better rice also. The garlic sauce tasted good. The service was great. Vivian at the front counter was very nice! =) Food rating: Combo Plate, chicken, lamb, steak 7.5\10 Out of all the nutella baklava i tasted this was good 8.0\10 read more

Ive been eating here every once in a while since i was introduced in 2021. Best Mediterranean food EVER, like seriously I've tried a bunch of other places in socal but this one is genuinely my favorite. The chicken, shrimp, rice, hummus, cucumber and tomato salad, and garlic sauce are what I typically eat from here and will never stop. The flavors are so unique to kabab crush like they pay attention to little details that overall make a great plate. Portions are huge and plates can totally be shared. I've only interacted with the staff here once since my family usually orders for get togethers or for me but they were pretty nice and attentive. As an incoming college student, this place is definitely on my meal prep list. I couldn't find a pic of the food here that I've taken :( read more

Food: 10/10 it was something new for me and the flavor of the chicken did not disappoint. The beef is good, but it's definitely different than other beef I've tried. I ended up giving it to my bf. The Mediterranean salad was really good! The potato salad had an acquired taste, and so I didn't eat it. I can see why others like it. Service: the cashier didn't greet us, but he was just waiting there for us to order. When we took a min to look at the menu, he finally asked what he could get us. He was nice after, though and was able to provide us with suggestions. Amabiance: it's a random hole in the wall type place. It's small, but it has outdoor seating as well. I would recommend ordering ahead because we waited about 15 mins maybe more for our food. read more

As much as I want this place to be authentic I am having doubts, their portion is good and definitely on the pricey side for a take out place. I also feel their meat is too saucy and always drenched too much in humus or that tangy sauce which you can't take the grilling or charbroiled taste anymore. We been coming here a while but lately the food has just not been up to par and now they charge a 3% fee on card use... which is quite absurd. Again, it's not a bad place but the quality of food just doesn't equate to what the new price. Personally for me I will give some other place a try or find something more authentic going fwd. read more

Everything was great, except the falafel was definitely overcooked. Our server was attentive We sat on the patio as it was a beautiful day. Nice place. read more

Stopped by for lunch yesterday. You order at the counter and they call your number when your order is ready. There is a small dining area indoors and seating outdoors as well. We decided to eat indoors. Place was clean and seating was spaced out well. I ordered the beef shawerma comes with pita and rice and I selected hummus and Mediterranean salad as my 2 sides . The meat was very tasty and was even more delicious dipped into the white garlicy sauce it came with. All staff were friendly and efficient. Didn't have to wait long for food after ordering . read more

Back at Kabab Crush. Privately owned middle eastern restaurant. Tiny crowded place, tiny crowded Kitchen. Simple menu. Really good food. I was here a few weeks ago for some shawarma. I really liked it and i wrote a review about it. I am back this time for some Kabab. We were a party of 3. It is customary in the middle eastern culture to always share food with friends and family. So, i ordered a few things to share. To start with. I ordered a plate of hummus with beef. This dish is eaten with Pita Bread. The dish was good but it is disappointing that they only give you 1 pita bread. Which is hardly enough for half the size of the dish. So, more pita bread please. Then i ordered a Fatoush salad which is a traditional middle eastern salad. This one was made with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, green bell pepper and topped with fried pita chips. The dressing is a lemony vinaigrette. I also ordered some skewers of chicken, beef and kafta kabab. The Kafta is ground beef mixed with parsley, onions and various spices and then grilled. Everything turned out really good and cooked just right. The service is friendly. I'll be back for sure. I definitely recommend Kabab Crush. read more

Love me some Mediterranean and this was a good stop! Portions are generous, staff was friendly and helpful, and flavors are mostly good. A plate is definitely shareable between two people (unless both people are famished). Ordered the veggie entree with hummus and beet salad and subbed out my pita for some dolmas (thanks for letting me do that!). The dolmas were a bit too oily for me and somewhat tart; they were not my favorite. The veggies were cooked well, the hummus was smooth, and the beet salad was super tasty (I would have also maybe added some nice spice/seasoning to it instead of what just felt like plain beets). Wish there was a little less rice and little more veg, but overall, good portion for what I paid for and good taste. read more

This is one of my go to Mediterranean order. I usually order for pick up from here. The portion is definitely shareable. Flavoring is on point! And the garlic dip is a must get! Try this place out. You won't regret it. Oh and one more thing.. their rice is soooo delicious! read more

Enjoyed my takeout order from here. I got a chicken shawarma sandwich with garlic sauce. It was a good sized pita and the chicken was flavorful and moist. Also came with some delicious pickles, onion, and tomato. Lots of sauce too. The chicken kebab platter came with a ton of food, mostly rice and chicken with some salad and a side of pita. read more

When people don't judge a book by its cover, this is the local type of place that I'm talking about.

I'm glad my friend introduced me to this place! read more

We've supported this business for as long as we could and the food has quality severely declined. Their sauces tasted spoiled, our wraps were inedible; meat so dry it has to be yesterday's unsold food. Disappointed for the last time and will not be back. read more

Love this place! A quick Mediterranean spot that has good dishes. We always either order the chicken shawarma wrap, shawarma combo (a burrito with a side of fries), or a plate. All equally delicious! Each wrap has the perfect combination of veggies and garlic sauce. They don't skimp on the meat either! Myvrummy is satisfied with a wrap and most of the time, I have a little bit left over for later. They make everything as you order so it can take about 15-20 min to get your food, but it's worth it. Service is decent. Private lot shared by neighboring restaurants. This is a regular for us! read more

Ended up ordering it -- and wow, easily the best I've ever had! Perfectly garlicky, perfectly messy, and totally worth the garlic breath. read more

This is my go to place for shwarma. Honestly the best I've had in LA to date still. The food is super flavorful, soft pita, perfectly pickled onions, and nicely seasoned kebabs. Service is quick if you order there, I usually order about 10 min ahead and pick up. Seating is a bit cramped, and usually I see ppl sitting outside rather than in. My suggestion is ask for extra pickled onions and garlic sauce if you get a shwarma wrap. One of the best things you can stuff your face with. I only wish it was closer to me so I could eat it more! read more

Ordered the Lamb and Chicken Breast Kabobs entrees and a side of Falafel. Each entree comes with two sides of your choice. We chose the cucumber salad, baba ghanoush and tabbouleh. Perfectly fresh and healthy deliciousness. The chicken is still very tasty but the LAMB IS FIRE. Tender moist and flavorful. They have also improved their rice. It used to be OK but now it completely makes the plate sublime. The rice is so fluffy and seasoned with love The falafel was the only thing that still could use a bit of a makeover but is still passable. My compliments to the chef for putting this place back on my list of favorites in the neighborhood. Now I can get back to that rice read more

Yo this spot OMG it is damn good. I used to get this kind of food from my local Zankou Chicken but lately they have not been very consistent, but this place was Reffered to by a co-worker and I have to say it is currently our favorite go to at this time. My favorite is the chicken kababs, I normally don't order chicken breast because it's always very dry and not very flavorful but not here their chicken breast kabob is probably the best I've had. I love their rice, hummus and even their garlic sauce. I definitely try to order form here at least 2x a month. read more

This is probably my favorite Mediterranean restaurant ever! The food is incomparable! They're always busy and we've always ordered to-go. Our usuals are the mixed beef and chicken shawarma plate and the lamb kabab plate. The rice is so flavorful and we get the garlic sauce. Favorite sides are the red cabbage salad, hummus, and potato salad. I believe the beet salad is a new side and it's yummy! We also get an extra order of fries too! My son loves their pita bread and fries! You honestly can't go wrong with this place! read more

Food was great! The price was totally fair compared to the amount of food we received, and the staff was very helpful since it was our first time there. I also appreciate that they check the orders in front of you so if something is wrong they can correct it right away. We both got the chicken kabob combo. The rice melts in your mouth, and the Mediterranean salad was probably my favorite one I've ever had. Chicken was tender and very flavorful. We'll definitely be back! read more

The food was amazing! Everything except the french fries. Probably old and reheated more than once, rock hard and not good at all. Hopefully next time we will get some fresh ones.
