Happily stumbled upon this place on our way out of Houston, after attending a FIFA World Cup game. This place is a hidden gem! Locally and family owned, we were warmly welcomed upon entering and everyone was so nice and generous with answering questions and providing samples as needed. Various prepped meat skewers were displayed behind the refrigerated counter and ready to be cooked- dishes are made fresh! Loved the variety of the simple menu. You can pick your base, protein, and lastly two sides. We sampled the okra, daal , and Afghan rice- all were delicious! Ordered : Chicken koobideh with daal and fries - delicious seasoned tender chicken atop fragrant Afghan rice. The fries were nice and crisp and drizzled with some of their specialty sauces and the daal, like a soup, was perfecto! Chicken koobideh atop Greek salad without feta. Knowing that I had a slight intolerance to dairy, they offered me a sample of all their sauces. Love!! I dipped my salad and chicken into all of them- garlic, spicy, green. For my sides - daal which they put into a bowl for me so as to not spill into my other items ( very thoughtful!) and eggplant. At the time they were sold out of the popular dish, I was disappointed and I think they couldn't help but notice the expression on my face..... but, as I was trying to figure out my other side, a shipment of eggplant came in! And they made it fresh for me! Sliced, cooked eggplant topped with a homemade tomato sauce. Everything was fabulous- from the moment we walked in, to their delicious healthy/fresh made meals, to their wonderful service and clean environment. Check them out! Military discount offered. Reasonably priced. read more

I've been to this spot 4x now for lunch and I'm just gonna say they are on my rotation for really good Mediterranean Food. I've had their lamb & beef koobideh which are good & flavorful, however, I'm impressed with the chunks (not slices) of tender meat on the gyro wrap. I also like that you can see them putting on the toppings & you can ask for more or less while they are making it. The Afghan salad isn't for me. It's a very strong mint taste which perhaps is a standard ingredient but it caught me off guard as one who doesn't prefer mint. I've only done to-go, but they also have several tables for you to dine-in. For lunch, I will say you definitely should order ahead & allow ample time. They get really busy & the last couple times I visited, my order wasn't ready 20-25 min after I ordered it in advance. Hopefully they can figure out a formula to handle the lunch crowd as to not run off customers with limited time. With that said, the food is good. Give them a try! read more

Everytime hands down best gyro in Houston rn. Remember when all those beef gyro places were trending and the used to sear the meat so you had that crisp? Now it's all pre sliced and it's like cafeteria style. Look they might be a little pricier than others in the area but the meat is always fresh never frozen and if you order late afternoon till close they might be out of items but that's because they aren't wasting they aren't carrying it over day after day. Chicken kabob is great, ribeye bowl my favorite and the brown rice and sauces are fantastic. I usually skip the veggies and do just rice and meat. Legit just the rice alone is delicious read more

If you want a mix of Afghan and Mediterranean food then check out Kabab Shack & Grill. We enjoyed the chicken, beef and lamb wraps. The lamb koobideh plate with Afghan rice was delicious. They offered mild, spicy, and no spice. We preferred the mild as the spicy was a little too spicy. The sides on the plate were sauced fries, eggplant, and salad. They add a coriander chutney on the sides which gives a tangy flavor. Food was served hot and brought to our table. The restaurant was clean and spacious with a casual atmosphere. Check them out for a quick, tasty halal meal. read more

Hefty portions and everything is really delicious. They were out of the Afghan salad but an extra Greek salad was just fine. I really liked their eggplant and the spinach. Pitas were super soft and fluffy, and the Afghan rice is delicious. Sauces were just right and hit the spot. Definitely would keep this in my regular rotation. read more

Very good. The staff were welcoming and helpful. I ordered an Afghan plate that comes with two sides. The gyro meat and rice were solid. The salad wasn't soggy nice and crisp with a taste of mint. They make their own spicy sauce and it didn't disappoint. The heat was still lingering in my mouth when I left the restaurant. Don't forget the dessert. The Dubai chocolate bar was generous and worth the $8.99. read more

Wow this place really works for me. I love Mediterranean cuisine but Kabab Shack & Grill brings a cultural twist that offers a distinctive flavor that sets them apart. The staff was patient explaining the menu to this first timer in their restaurant. The dining room was surprisingly spacious and well decorated. My order was a takeout but look forward to future visits enjoying my meal hot off the grill. I grab two plates, Beef Koobideh and Lamb Koobideh. The Beef dish was over a Greek salad with sides of spinach and lentils. My Lamb sat on rice with sides of lentils and chic peas. Honestly, there were no misses for me. The side dishes were absolutely full of flavor, can't go wrong so pick any of the half dozen options. As much as I loved both the Lamb and Beef, the Beef Koobideh was my favorite. I can't wait to return. read more

My spot for if I'm looking for something healthy, delicious, and filling. The Koobideh is my go to and hasn't let me down once. The service is always on spot and prompt. Hands down the best Mediterranean spot in Sugar Land. The owners really know what they're doing here. Going to test out my healthy claim by eating quite a few more of there plates - win-win scenario. read more

I've eaten a lot of Middle Eastern food, but this is the best. As a vegetarian, I loved the falafel and hummus. The family owned restaurant makes its own sauces and green chutney to die for. Excellent service. Clean, healthy food. read more

INCREDIBLE! Reminded me of the afghani inspired food in the Northeast where I'm from. Incredible white sauce, amazing hot and green sauce, the chicken was properly marinated and grilled perfectly. The owner Ali is fantastic and will take care of you, he genuinely cares for you to have a good meal and honestly the pricing is very fair for a meat, rice and 2 sides. I'll be going back OFTEN! This is exactly what we needed after a dry spell from afghani food, I can only hope they branch out to Katy one day :) Thank you Ali for your food and hospitality, I enjoyed it so much and best of all, you gave me a taste of home. read more

I absolutely hate that I didn't get a picture before digging into my food, but it was that good!!! I got the gyro plate with double rice. The portion was more than enough and everything was cooked to perfection!!! The flavors were outstanding to say the least. I couldn't stop eating. Although I'm a full as can be, I still have leftovers!!! The inside of the restaurant is very clean and organized and the staff are super friendly. They answered any questions I had with a smile. I highly recommend stopping by and trying some of their amazing dishes and see the quality for yourself. read more

Kabab Shack & Grill - Outside view - Middle Eastern Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

This place is the absolute best! It's very close to my work so I tend to pop over when I am in the mood for a great gyro. I am very much a creature of habit and usually order and stick to the same thing, but I have decided to make it a point to expand my choices on future visits to return here with a well rounded update review. Until then, I find that the owner(s) is/are great and always welcoming and make sure their patrons are happy and satisfied. It's a small shop with ample seating and the food is available for take out as well. I recently discovered how my expectations have increased due to Kabob Shack's wonderful food as they now set the bar for any other gyros I've ordered from other establishments and have found many don't measure up. Most recently I tried their competition in the same center and was so disappointed with what I ordered, that I made my way back to KS that same week to make up for it. If you simply want a great tasting gyro wrap with tons of flavor you can't go wrong with their lamb/beef gyro wrap (my favorite!) The meat is always so flavorful, the sauce just the right amount of garlic, and the pita is sooo soft and fresh. My mouth is watering as I write this, but be warned, the spicy is very spicy, at least for me. If you are not a fan of spicy you can request no spice without concern of losing flavor as it is every bit as savory with or without spice. KS does not skimp on anything. The hummus is also wonderful and I usually order it to share as it can be a great deal of food otherwise. I like that there is emphasis on the fresh without emphasis, you just taste it in every bite from the protein to the pitas. I believe this is what makes Kabob Shack stand out for me and sets the bar for other restaurants of the same to live up to in general. I highly recommend! Try it out. read more

Went to @kababshack for the first time, and loved it. great selection of items, I went with the Gyro's Wrap, which consisted of Gyros meat cut into pieces/chunks instead of thin slices/strips, Veggies, White Sauce, and Red Sauce in a warm fluffy pita. Overall very flavorful, great quality Gyros, with a kick from the red Sauce . definitely will be back read more

If you're looking for a place that serves up seriously flavorful food than Kebab Shack and Grill is where you're gonna want to go. I recently tried their chickpeas, chicken koobideh wrap, and chicken kebab platter with salad and fries, and let me tell you, my taste buds were in heaven. They also didn't hold back on the sauce for the wrap, which I loved - it was packed with flavor and spice! Not only is the food fantastic, but the prices are also very reasonable. You definitely get your money's worth here except for they only do bottled drinks. The restaurant itself is clean and welcoming, making it a great spot to sit and eat your meal. The service was a bit slow, but given how busy they were, it's understandable. The staff was friendly and attentive, so it didn't dampen the experience at all. Overall, Kebab Shack and Grill is a good spot for anyone craving delicious, well-priced Middle Eastern fare. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

***This is for the Galveston location*** We have been wanting to try this new place since I miss all this kind of food from living in Houston and being married to a Lebanese man. We ordered delivery from their Facebook to Website system. It was easy and kept us informed the whole way with texts and you can track the delivery driver through part of Door Dash. The food came hot and smelled amazing! Looked amazing too - see photos! Everything was so delicious and we were super pleased with all the sauces and choices. We will be ordering again! They are inside a gas station on 19th Street so give them a try in person or order delivery!!! read more

Good delicious food to eat and chose from. Real fresh food with a great menu to choose from

Very friendly place with great smells and well cared for. I was assisted by Kamran who quickly determined it was my first visit. Kamran gave me the tour of the menu and ordering process, kept up with me on my several order changes, asked a few questions, and then with the help of the crew had me out the door in a few minutes with my lamb, Afghan Salad and of course baklava. The food was well prepared and tasted wonderful. Next visit to Sugar Land I'll be back! read more

A hidden gem in Sugar Land! Kabob Shack has some of the most flavorful Mediterranean food in the area. What we ordered: Chicken Kabob: very tender and delicious with the sauces on top. We chose white rice, but you have the option to have it over white, brown or salad. Chicken Koobideh: I usually don't care for chicken koobideh and prefer beef, but this was flavored very well and had a good amount of spice to it Gyro Wrap: Order the spicy version- you won't regret it. Standout side: Eggplant 10/10 Fries: basically their version of loaded fries with a ton of unique flavor The customer service is too notch and the prices are very reasonable. Check this place out next time you're in the area! read more

This is my go to for chicken koobideh kabobs. I usually get the chicken koobideh plate with brown rice, fries, and eggplant. I also enjoy the chicken kabobs. The sauces are so good! The eggplant is just delish here as well. It is a small shop with good amount of seating, and the staff is always nice. Just keep in mind that it takes some time to cook the kebabs so if there is a lot of people, it can be a long wait. read more

Their food tastes good, the quality is definitely there but its too expensive. They charge about $17 for a plate with two sides and ONLY one skewer of meat. Whereas most other Afghan restaurants charge about the same but you get two skewers of meat. Each extra skewers being about $7 - $9 depending on whether it's chicken, beef, lamb, ribeye, etc. The tables were was also a bit dirty and the seats as well even though the restaurant was empty... For the price and quality Houston has better Afghan food. read more

I'm still sitting here and felt compelled to write a review. This place is awesome. Kebabs are delish, but man, the veggies/ sides, slap, as the kids say. We already committed to putting Kebab Shack in rotation. We had a sampling of the skewers and sides. The brothers that own the place are super sweet and helped accommodate our little one. Everything, and I mean everything was delish. Highly recommend, would love for these guys to stick around! read more
