    Staff at register was very friendly. Ordered gyro's which didn't take long but I arrived at 11:15am & they were still finishing up making the soups so we had to wait a little bit for that. She said they make them fresh daily. Inside decor is ok. It's clean, has a rustic vibe, wood chairs, 7 tables, soft music playing in background. Lamb soup is broth based but so full of flavor you'd swear meat is in it. Quite good. Lentil soup was a puréed soup, no visible lentil peas. More on the thinner than thicker side. I love lentil soup so much to my surprise although it too was good, I'd give the edge to the lamb soup. The gyro meat of lamb & beef mix was good. The pita bread was thin & light. They gave ample onions, tomatoes & sauce and the pickles were a different twist for a gyro but they didn't have a strong "pickley" taste. All in all I'd say their Mediterranean food was good based on the gyro & soup I had. They let me know they also have north & south indian food and that I could ask for that in the future because their chef knows how to make it. (it's shown on a catering menu if you ask for it)

    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.

And although the walls are a little beat up the tables are leveled with worn napkins, and the plates are plastic, the food is worth the experience, and I got the restaurant all to myself :). Per the sign, after placing my order, like a one man band, the cashier got to work. First they prepared fresh pita for my hummus. Next, the chicken shawarma pita combo. While I didn't stay to watch the construction, I appreciate the open kitchen concept mainly because it allows me to view the prep station as well as the condition of the ingredients (everything looked fresh btw). So let's talk food. The hummus was exactly as advertised, nothing more, nothing less. The pita on the other hand was unexpected. Undoubtedly fresh, I was served cross between pita bread and a pita chip. I asked for my wrap spicy without tomatoes. While it did arrive with tomatoes, it was undeniably delicious. My eyes were 100% bigger than my stomach, so after a few bites I was satisfied. They don't skimp on the chicken. While the fries weren't my cup of tea, I'd certainly return for the pita. On the way out, I noticed their menu included family deals and lunch specials, a kids meal option, and multiple high chairs, which eliminates your excuse not to visit. :D

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.

The bathroom was absolutely disgusting and they put a toilet seat that is too small on the toilet so good luck if you need to sit down... Also I spent the entire night unable to sleep well with indigestion and my wife has had to run to the restroom all night and all morning. Overall I don't think we will return due to the grossness...

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!!!
