    Lamb Shank with berry rice and pita
    Emy A.

    We came here for lunch. They have daily specials so we ordered those and from the menu. I ordered the lamb shank with berry rice (additional cost) , cardamom chai (too thick for me), and mango lassi. The lamb was delicious. The rice was okay. Pita was okay too. The service was excellent. The waitress explained the menu and daily specials to us.

    Loved the food and the people at Kabob Cafe. Everything from the hummus to the chicken to the tea was delish! Can't wait to come back and try more on the menu. It's a small quaint restaurant with quick service and delicious food.

    Excellent food and service Shank lamb was very good and the grilled chicken so tasty

    Chicken curry

    I hate to write this but this was just not good, at all. I had high hopes. I've been eating here for years but it's been a while. Ordered so many items and none were good. They Forgot our pita bread which I paid extra for. Chicken curry was too tough to eat. Gyro plate was way overcooked. Beef koubedeh was raw! And the beef and chicken kabob was so bad. They used to offer filet but now it's called "beef chunks" and we can see why. Inedible. Just awful. $125.00 I can't get back. Threw it away so I'm not happy.

    Koobideh meal

    This place really hit the spot. Koobideh was delicious. Will definitely go back for fast, cozy meal

    I got a mixed plate chicken and beef kabobs

    The food is very good, the service is wonderful they treat you like family & the ambiance is amazing great vibes here.

    No longer run by the same owners. It's now more of an Indian / Pakistani style rather than Persian.

    Happily stumbled upon this place on our way out of Houston, after attending a FIFA World Cup game…read more 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.

    Came here since it was close. Looked pretty good and had nice reviews…read more Walked in and was greated by I'm guessing owner. He explained about their dishes and how everything is made home made.. They seemed very proud of their food which is a good start. Was going to order lamb plate but last minute I changed to pita wrap. The meal came with fries and drink. Total came up to around $17.31 which I feel like it was little on the high end. I was disappointed to see that they did not have a drink fountain and I had few choices of can soda from a drink cooler. Not a deal breaker but I hate paying for drink at a restaurant and I get a can soda. My food came and looked yummy. I was pleasantly surprised to see the fries topped with sauces. Started with fries and they were nice and jot/crispy. Extra sauces on them made them more flaverful. I took my bite with pita wrap and, man was it yummy. Full of flavor, I think it was lamb or lamb and beef gyro. I don't remember what the guy told me but it was very yummy. It was probably the best gyro/pita wrap that I've ever had. I would definitely come back here again if I am ever on this side of town/state.

I booked the event back in February and worked with Muhanad Rantawi, who made the entire planning process smooth and easy. On the day of the event, the two servers assigned to us were absolutely phenomenal. They helped with setup and were attentive in serving food and drinks to our guests throughout the event. The space itself was clean, cute, and cozy--perfect for an intimate gathering. The food was delicious as well. Although we didn't receive the rice we had ordered, they made up for it by providing extra pita. One challenge was that the AC wasn't working, but the staff handled it as best as they could by bringing out a large kitchen fan to help keep guests comfortable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely use them again for catering and would consider hosting another event there in the future.

When we entered the vibe was relatable to the name of the restaurant but after a few minutes we heard Bollywood songs and I love Bollywood songs but I feel like the vibe of the restaurant should relate to the cuisine and ambiance. It automatically gives an impression that the restaurant isn't Greek or Lebanese for example. Anyway, we had ordered kibeh and lentil soup for appetizers. The lentil soup was the worst lentil soup I've ever had it was frozen we asked them to heat it but it still tasted disgusting. I couldn't eat it. The kibeh was alright the dip with the kibeh was good. For entrees, we ordered the chicken shawarma plate and combo kebabs. The plates came with a salad the dressing was interesting but I'm not a fan of feta cheese so I didn't have the salad. The shrimps and chicken kebab of the combo kebabs were not bad I really liked the shrimps. The hummus was okay and the rice was very bland. The service was quick I believe because everything felt like it was pre-cooked except for the kebabs but the beef kebab wasn't cooked entirely one of the pieces it was raw. The shawarma was not good at all! Very disappointing Our bill was $60 and we were charged a 2.5% fees for credit card!

It turns out they were here all getting food from none other than Al Mankal Grill, a longtime bookmark and one of the gems of Sugar Land. They're in good company, as there are multiple Halal trucks, serving different cuisines and specializing in all kinds of food. The local following is impressive, but seeing as they have a perfect rating across different platforms, they're clearly doing something right. I ordered the beef and lamb chunks, a $27 (with tax) which had the perfect amount of char with just a hint of smokiness. Despite the price, I was floored at how delicious it was. The chicken shawarma arabi ($12) is a popular choice, while the mixed grill ($18) provides some variety between the meats. The chicken skewer ($6) and lamb with fat ($7) were both outstanding. The guy behind the window was friendly and dealt with every customer in a long line with ease. Credit cards are most definitely accepted and the wait for the food ended up being somewhere around 20 minutes. Unlike the other food trucks, they actually have outdoor seating with a few (albeit janky) picnic tables. This spot will become one of my most frequent when I'm in the area.

    ORDERED VEGAN GYRITO AND GOT LAMB!!! #DISGUSTED…read more I ordered on DoorDash so I can't speak on the ambiance. However, I got y'all on the food and service. I got to be real with y'all if they hadn't messed up my order I would've given them a 4 star rating. Shall we???... I ordered a Gyrito (Burrito) with [Half Turmeric Rice and Half Spicy Rice, Avocado Hummus $2+, Falafel, Tzatziki, Red Hot Sauce, Garlic Alioli, Pickled Onion, Jalapeños, Chickpeas, Black Olives, Lettuce, Onion, Cucumber and Bell Peppers] from Gyro Republic in Sugarland @9:17pm for a total of $20.50 including service fee and tax. I received my meal at 10:03pm because the DoorDash driver picked up another order on the way to me (ANNOYING BTW) but not the worse part. I had my girlfriend go meet the driver and tip him in cash, although he didn't follow my instructions; to contact me upon arrival to meet in lobby. When she got down there he was trying to take a picture to leave the food at the front desk. Anyways, she comes upstairs with a bag that looked different than the bag that was taken upon pickup. Brushed it off, checked out the bag and food, everything seemed fine. Off initial looks the gyrito was HUUUGGGEEEE! I was so excited to dig in. I love Mediterranean food I've been hooked since moving to CA years back. I love to feed my girlfriend so I gave her the first bite, she's chewing it.. then, I go ahead and take my bite. BOOOM, it's really saucy (*IM A SAUCE GIRL *), the flavors are flavoring, like they should....then, I taste something that immediately had my radar go off and I spit everything out. ITS LAMB!!! I'm like this is meat. I go to check the rest of the gyrito; there's indeed meat throughout the entire burrito. I call the restaurant told them the issue and y'all....they had the nerve to tell me they ran out of falafel for the night and that's why LAMB was put into it. WTFFFFF???!!! Why not just add more chickpeas since that's what falafel is made of???? Make it make sense. The problem is my girlfriend and I started to feel queasy because we've been doing a fast and parasite cleanse so our intake of meat has been extremely LOW for the last month. So I was HOT! Overall, I'm disappointed in the carelessness!!!
