    Kabob Cafe - Persian Food Fresh Mediterranean Grill Family Oriented Clean Pure Awesome Great Food Delicious Tasty

    Went here for lunch - first impressions: Clean, Trustworthy Customer Service was incredible I had the hummus and pita - bro.... Brooooooooooooo it was so good. The bread is perfectly soft and the hummus is so smooth with no junk fillers like oil. Pure and Delicious, Awesome experience.

    Food is prepared fresh and presentation is beautiful. Taste and quality is spot on! You can really tell the owner takes pride in his restaurant. My wife's chicken kabob plate was enough for 2 people with moist chicken and tasty white rice. My gyro with lamb & beef was really good. I changed from garlic sauce to cucumber sauce. Greek side salad was fresh and crispy. There was also plenty of pictures of menu items to help you choose the next great tasting dish coming out of this kitchen. We WILL be back!

    The food is like a 5 sit down restaurant but it's more of a fast food atmosphere in the food court center. We got the combo chicken and lamb shish kabobs. Very good favored moist and delicious. Normally we get the salad with it but we chose to get more rice due to the lettuce parasites going on right now. Not that they have any issues with their lettuce we are just taking precautions. We have been here several times and very time they are on point and never disappoint! We have been to other competitors and they don't compare to Kabob Cafe so we always end up coming back. The restaurant is clean some seatings inside or outside also. We always have great customer service and they help us with any questions we have on choosing a good dish. It's a little bit on the expensive side but you get what you pay. I'd def recommend coming for lunch or dinner so worth it!

    Very clean and tidy place. Service is pretty good. It was busy with lunch traffic! We ordered a platter for 4 which came with their Greek Salad w dressing, Rice with Tomatoes, Garlic Sauce, Tzatziki & Pita along with 4 skewers beef koobeideh and one lamb. Ordered a hummus too. The guy at the counter was sweet enough to give boneless chicken skewer on the house! Food was very hot and delicious. It was good enough for 6 people. Very flavorful and price is pretty good too.

    Wow, their food is absolutely delicious! Tried the koobideh combo with both ground beef and ground chicken. Both were very juicy, tender and flavorful. For the side I selected the Greek salad, which was good too. A little heavy on the olives, but that's my bad, I should've asked for those to be left off. We also ordered the gyro wrap (in a tortilla) and really enjoyed that as well. Tasted really good, but I will say that it's a little bit on the small side and is served a la carte, so it doesn't include any sides. The owner, who was incredibly kind, also gave us a sample of their chicken shish kabob (chicken breast) to try. It was really tender and flavorful. Would definitely order that next time too. We'll be back, and probably soon!

    Food here is always consistent. A nice lunch spot. The only criticism is that it is very expensive but unfortunately I think this is just the new reality of food costs. The gentleman that works the counter is very friendly. I recommend this spot. Pros: Consistent high quality meal Fast Cons: Price is very high for fast casual food.

    Excellent food, made to order. Skewer of Shish Kabob meat was so tender and juicy, I didn't want it to end. Koobideh (ground beef) kabob was delicious too. I've been here several times and it never disappoints.

    I come here once a year. Every time i come here, friendly staff, amazing quality of the food and super nice owners have made sure that my experience was a 10/10. If you ask anyone they will tell you the quality of the meat is not found anywhere else. Thanks again and will be back next year.

    Hi are you guys halal?

    Yes, everything except the Gyro meat is halal.

    Do they serve Halal meat?

Unfortunately I didn't check the platter till I got home. Mixed Kebab for 5 ($80) - This plate is supposed to come with 3 skewers each of (tawook, kefta, beef kabobs), beef shawarma, chicken shawarma, salad, rice, fries, garlic sauce, tahini, grilled vegetables. The plate was missing the shawarma meats, fries, and some of the grilled vegetables. I saw a picture from someone's Yelp review that did have the shawarma meats and clearly I was not provided with that. The food was just ok, nothing really stood out except the beef kabobs were tender and juicy. Overall, I'm disappointed that they didn't include all the items mentioned on the menu. I did see someone's Yelp review from February and the same thing happened to him. When he complained to the management, they gave him some additional items and told him our menu has changed. If the menu has changed, then it should be updated, it's been over 5 months! Also the platter as it was provided to me is definitely not enough for 5 people. Tried calling a few times and they don't pick up the phone.

For some reason I was craving some Shawerma so I had ordered their Shawerma Plate which comes with Beef and Chicken Shawerma along with some salad, hummus, pita bread and rice. To my dismay, the both meats were very dry. I feel like it lacked seasoning as it had no flavor unless I covered it with their garlic sauce. Hopefully it was just an off day or dry because there were no customers at the time but hoping this place just had an off day with their food.

I should've known better, but I remember the soup being pretty good and since it's in our neighborhood, thought we'd give it one more try. We did a togo for $60 and we were basically given garbage, so old and past its prime, everything should have be in the trash. The pita that was served was all stale, hard and tasted like dirty oil. The falafel was overcooked, dry and tasteless. The rice was overcooked mushy with no flavor. Grape leaves taste tasted like canned and bitter. My finance picked up the online order and we have an email receipt and order number for 4.17. We both did reviews and he was so upset he paid for food he could not eat. I was sick and wanted soup, I stayed in the car when he went in to pick it up so that's why I'm not on his "camera". My review is legit, regardless of what the owner is stating. Rather than dispute my review, the owner should try and apologize not make claims against my integrity. I will not have someone antagonize me to try to get me to remove my authentic review as an Elite. Be aware that if you go here, the food might not only be bad but you'll be treated like a criminal for having honest feedback and have to be harassed for weeks after all because you wanted some soup.

I was super excited to try it out for dinner and knew I wanted the garlic chicken sandwich. We pulled up on a Wednesday evening and it was completely dead. No problem... We walk in and there's a woman working at the register with both AirPods in, engaged in a conversation (in Spanish). We make direct eye contact, I smile, she looks at me and walks to the back, with no body language or expression, to continue her conversation. We wait 90 seconds to review the menu, she does not return, but can hear her conversation. A simple, "I'll be right with you." or "Give me a moment." would have been great but we got nothing so we walk out. As we walk out, we see her return to behind the register (still on the phone - still no inkling that she had any interest in helping customers). I can't even recall experiencing a complete disregard for helping customers or making a sale. Maybe business is booming and they don't need our money... This was pretty disappointing so we took our dinner order elsewhere, in the same shopping center. Oh well...
