    Cooked to order.  Tender and fresh.
    Mike H.

    What an amazing place! It's literally a hole in the wall that is well worth the visit. There is a kiosk at the front for a quick order and about 6 tables inside. If you prefer, walk deeper into the store and you can order from the counter. The place is spotless, updated and trendy be design. The shining star is the food. The lamb shawarma is fantastic. The meat is tender the rice is cooked to perfection and overall I would give these humble people 10 stars if I could.

    Chicken Kabab Plate and Chicken Kabab Sandwich.
    Anna B.

    Moist, savory chicken kabab: enjoyed their sandwich wrap combo that comes with fries and choice of canned soda. Everything was so much flavorful and fresh! Pretty good fries too, well seasoned. Very delicious hummus. Very kind customer service from the staff. Inside has a small number of tables like 5 or 6, however they have a couple tables outside for dine-in. Would eat here again!

    The chicken kebab plate. Chicken is hidden under the pita.
    Jacqueline T.

    I was excited to try out this Mediterranean place with good yelp review. We stopped by for work lunch. When I arrived before noon, there were already two tables of customers. The menu I had a great variety of choices. Prices a little higher than the neighborhood Mediterranean restaurant but we wanted to give it a try. I ordered the chicken kebab and my co worker ordered the lamb. The ambiance is nice and cozy. Brand new decor as a new restaurant. We waited about 30 minutes before the food was served. As we started eating, we saw more people coming in for the lunch rush. The food is good, I could taste the grill. The hummus is seasoned well, not too salty. The rice is fluffy and the pita bread is good. I understand the new restraint has to test and fine tune their kitchen operation. Maybe I will come back half a year later after they figured out a more efficient operation. In the Monrovia, there are many choices of good Mediterranean restaurants with excellent food and better prices. I encourage the restaurant to continue provide more value for the customers.

    Popular shop with repeat customers. Service was really good, they were attentive with our food and portions are large. Seats fill up quickly so sit down before you order at the self kiosk if not coming alone. Our extras also came with more items

    Gosh who knew I'd get to an age where I'd actually use the coupons from our quarterly local magazine that features local businesses that give you coupons for said businesses. We found ourselves here on a night we didn't feel like cooking, with a 10% coupon off your total bill in hand. You can't use the kiosk and do have to order at the register, but it went very smoothly. There were other patrons there having dinner, which was nice to see. We ordered two plates for carry out - beef lule kebab and lamb shawarma. Comes with pilaf rice, grilled tomato, grilled jalapeño, a salad and pita with hummus. Also came with tzatziki and toom. We were told it would take 15-20 minutes and they kindly offered us hot tea while we waited, for a to go order! That was so nice of them, seriously. We didn't mind the wait at all. The food was so fresh with amazing portions and it was so delicious. So much food for the price! My lamb shawarma plate was easily two meals for me. This area lacks good Mediterranean options in general and it looks like we just found our spot for Mediterranean food here! We will definitely be back! Bonus: Lots of free and easy parking to be had. Kababstic indeed!

    Beef plate (no rice, double salad)

    We had dinner at Kababstic. The place has indoor/outdoor seating. The server, offered us tea as we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. The tea is served hot in a beautiful small kettle and glass cups, so aesthetically pleasing. The tea is so good, a must have for sure. I had the beef plate with no rice (extra salad), bowl of hummus, grilled veggies and pita. The beef is perfectly marinated and tender, the pita is thin, which is perfect for my liking, the salad dressing is fragrant, herby, and the hummus is topped with whole chickpeas, herbs and olive oil. My daughter had the falafel plate, which is a generous portion of croquettes, rice, salad, hummus, and tahini sauce. The food is fresh, delicious and fragrant. The server, a tall young man was friendly and attentive. It's wonderful to find a delicious Mediterranean eatery nearby. I can wait to go back.

    What a GEM !! The best Mediterranean food in the 626 area. I was just looking around to fill my Mediterranean food craving and I saw Kababstic here on Yelp with 5 stars. That enticed me but I also wondered why? Well, the food is why! Everything was so good, fresh juicy you name all of the good adjectives. I will be back for sure.

    I visited this small eatery for an afternoon bowl of steaming hot lentil soup. The soup was not thick, definitely soupy. The flavor was pleasantly mild and also was brighten up with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice. The pita chips were crunchy and savory. Order at the electronic pad upon entry for dine-in or take out. Service was polite.

    Came here because I had another fun plans down the street from here so I was thinking would be good to eat dinner beforehand It's located in a strip mall The place itself is not huge but they do have seating outside but it wasn't necessary as I was able to get the last table just before it closes which is a little early but the fact it was full inside was a good sign You can self order via a kiosk or you can as I later found out order with a person who in this case was also our server and he was nice and the food didn't take that long to come out Food was great and freshly made and hummus was thick but that garlic sauce was yummy Chicken coulda been little juicer but that's understandable when it comes to breast but the flavor was good! Those egg rolls were bomb! Clean place

    Lamb Kabab Plate
    Joy B.

    Let's talk about this food! It's now my favorite out of my three go-to Mediterranean restaurants. The portions are just right and they've been consistent in quality. I love the lamb Kabab plate, meat is well seasoned/tender, salad, humus, and pickled beets are great! The Beef and Veggie samosas were not a hit (Beef-not enough season, Veggie- mushy). I plan to try other items on the menu in due time. The inside is pretty casual and great for lunch or dinner. Service has been good each time I've been in.

    Chicken kabob plate with double salad.
    Jeff B.

    One reason I like Yelp is that it leads me to places like this when I'm traveling. In the mood for some Mediterranean fare near our hotel, I located Kababstik Mediterranean Grill on Yelp. It's a nice, comfortable location with plenty of parking. There are about six tables inside and a few outside. When we got there, all the tables were full, but we were fortunate that people at one table were just leaving, so we were able to get a table inside. You order from a kiosk and can, as we did, type in special requests. In our case, I ordered the Shrimp Grilled Plate and my partner ordered the Chicken Kabob Plate. We each asked for "double salad" instead of rice. The meals were excellent. The salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red cabbage) was cold and fresh. There was an oil/vinegar dressing on the salad that was nice, but not overpowering. The shrimp (two skewers - 10 medium size shrimp total - a good portion) was well-seasoned and nicely grilled. My partners chicken was moist and flavorful. Each Plate came with a thin pita bread and healthy portion of hummus. I usually don't eat pita bread because it is thick and bready, but this was nice and thin. The food was delivered to the table by a friendly server. If we lived in the area, this place would be in our restaurant rotation.

    Tabbouleh Meduim $8.99
    Kim M.

    December 2025 - Party of two on a Thursday night. You order through a kiosk and they will bring the food to you. The place is small with about 4 or 5 tables. I love that they give complimentary Ceylon tea! Food/Pricing - Tabbouleh Meduim, $8.99 - Very good mix of sour and refreshing! Lamb Kabab Plate, $22.99 - On the pricier side but delicious nonetheless. Lamb was tender, tasty, and well seasoned. Chicken Kabab Sandwich COMBO, $15.99 - Chicken was juicy and tender. Sauce inside the wrap mixed well with the rest of the ingredients. Service/Ambiance - Friendly and prompt service. Parking - Plenty of parking in the plaza.

The food is delicious and the prices are appropriate given the portion sizes. Service was prompt and professional. Parking might be a challenge, though there are public lots within a block or two. We went on a Friday night and encountered heavy traffic from the local farmer's market/fair. The best item was the Beef kabob, 5 out of 5 stars. It was perfectly cooked, a very simply salt and pepper seasoning, juicy and simply divine! We got the kids meal, which came with only 4 pieces, and I'd be interested to return for the full adult portion. Also a 5-star experience was the Fried cauliflower appetizer. It had just the right amount of crispiness, without any blackening, and the garlic/parsley/lemon juice combo worked well. The juice was sucked into all the crevices, and overall it was light. I think I could have eaten two portions myself and called it a satisfying meal. I did dip in some tzatziki, which worked great too! Lastly the Chicken shawarma was a 4-star dish. Still delicious and I'd get it again, but it was slightly salty from the marinade and added sauce. I was expecting this to be wrapped up, but it was more an open-face naan with the chicken covering the top. Rice pilaf was savory, I'd rather not know just how many calories are included, the rice was still moist even after reheating the next day.

However, the dining room was a little too dark, making it difficult to fully enjoy the meal. Unfortunately, the food was just average. Some of the dishes tasted slightly burnt, which affected the flavor. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't memorable either.

Served with hummus and I'm not sure the other sauce. Didn't taste like garlic sauce to me. It also came with chips (made of pita). Nice and thin. Easy to eat unlike thick pita chips. Lastly, it came with pickled beets. My husband ordered an iced tea. It was delicious. Not bitter as if it had been steeped too long. It was perfect and refreshing for a hot day like today. I lived in Glendale so I'm very familiar with this family owned business. I love to see them growing and expanding. The service was fast and friendly. They text you when your order is ready. We came on a Saturday evening and it was still easy to find a clean table and chairs.

The salad consisted of lettuce and some marinated tomatoes that tasted sour. The hummus was very bland and the bread was thin, but soft. The Luhle (ground beef) was savory, but wasn't very juicy at all. The RICE, however, was very delicious. It was well seasoned and you can taste the different spices used to flavor it. Very earthy notes. Overall, very underwhelming experience. Mediocre and not worth the price or wait. Would probably not go back again.
