2nd Best kabobs and gyro I have found in Vegas and I have been on the prowl because I love Mediterranean food. I got the chicken and beef kabob plate and a gyro. The kabobs were both so tender and delicious and the gyro although it looked plain upon first seeing it, did not disappoint! Plenty of protein which is a big thing for me. I hate when they skimp on the meat and I eat mostly carbs and filler veggies. But they did not skimp on the meat. The employees were not the most friendly or welcoming upon entering the establishment, and even told us to hurry when giving us our food because they were closing which bothered me a little because that has never happened to me before and they had over 30 minutes before closing but the food was so delicious and priced extremely fairly so they still get that 5 star rating. Definitely check this place out if you love kabobs or gyros just maybe not on a Sunday night so the staff is a bit more cheery. read more

Kabob Express - Yum - Afghan Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I really like this place. It's a great value, tastes fresh and always delicious. I like the chicken and beef kabob. Staff a friendly which is always a bonus. read more

We visited vegas for 4 days and our hotel was a few miles away from this place. We tried it our first day there and enjoyed it so much that we ate there every day thereafter. We mostly ate the chicken kabobs and they were all very good. Prices are reasonable. The decor and ambiance may not be that great, but the food is exceptionally good - including the side salads and naan/bread. read more

The food is not good. I ordered the king sultani, i can not chew the chicken and the beef, the meat is too dry, no flavor, not worth the money. The chicken shawarma is better. read more

If I could give it No Stars I would for sure... Ordered Chicken Kabobs which came with salad and a weird bread piece. I also ordered several garlic sauces. The "so-called" garlic sauce was nothing but big glops of mayonaise. (absolutely terrible). No dressing given with salad. The silverware arrived broken. Chicken was so dry I choked on it. Rice had absolutely no flavor. read more

Came in on a Tuesday. Place was dead. Not a single customer came in. Got the combo of chicken, steak and beef. Steak was tender although a little salty. Then moved on to the chicken which had no flavor and a couple rubbery pieces that were inedible. The beef was disgusting. I had to spit it out. No one checked on me or even asked how the food was. Shocked that this restaurant has such a high rating. The worst kebab meal I've ever eaten. I'm not a big Yelp reviewer but felt so strongly to post because of how poor this experience was. read more

Love this place. High quality meats. Great portion sizes. Super friendly. Get the king sultani. You wont regret it.

I came here for a class and the food was excellent and the staff was super nice. 10/10 would come again!

I ordered the saltani kabob and I'm not very impress. I've had much better kabobs. Everything was dry and not much flavoring to it. The rice was very plain. I came here based on how many stars was on yelp but I did not think it was good. I ended up throwing away my lunch. So disappointed. read more

This place was a quick stop after a workout The kabob plate has all the protein and carbs you need ! The chicken is well marinated The rice is good quality The salad has a tasty dressing The hummus is excellent All in all a good quick bite and the price is very reasonable Will be back read more

Let me just say, despite all the good reviews, I was skeptical. So many afghan or Persian restaurants make super dry kabobs. My family is Pakistani and they come from Quetta and Peshawar so we know a little something about kabobs. This place KILLED IT. We came so hungry and this was just what we needed. Their kofta kabob, sultani kabob, and tandoori chicken kabob all tasted perfect! They also give you small sides of the little green afghani chutney that just brought it all together. But that's just the food. Their employees are amazing! The sweetest men who greet you so nicely. They found out we were Pakistani and they played customized music for us. My mom found out they spoke Pashto and she was just right at home. So rare to find places that transport you back home. You guys definitely had us nostalgic and we can't thank you enough for it! read more

I love their chicken kabobs. They seem very fresh and tasty. The price is reasonable too. I've always gotten takeout. The only reason I don't give them 5 stars is that communication on the phone is challenging with this company. However my order has always been correct, and the cashier is pleasant. read more

Best Persian food I've had in Las Vegas. The Kabobs were cooked perfectly and the meat tasted so fresh and like they got it from a very good butcher. Their basmati rice had so much flavor and it was perfect with the grilled meats. I ordered their King Sultani and it was definitely worth the price. Not only was their food great, but the price was awesome too. Wish I knew about this place when I was still going to UNLV. Definitely will be back!! read more

Kabob Express - King Sultani for my post-workout meal!! - Afghan Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Very authentic Afghan/Persian food. Owners very pleasant and made to order. Tried the king sultani and it was a very generous portion. Reasonable price will definitely return. read more

Very good place to drop by for lunch. Prices are reasonable and portions are ok. I wouldn't go there for kabobs if I was starving. Cashier was very friendly and gave me a free drink for being a UNLV student (no idea if it was an official student discount they offer). I ended up ordering the chicken kabob plate. It was good, but I was expecting something more juicy and tender. Still, I liked it. The beef kabobs are probably much better. I'm going to have to drop by again to try the gyros. read more

So a few years ago I went to a party and had these Kabobs, not like the ones you put on the grill with some onions and pepers some REAL kabobs! OMG these were so good they have been in the back of my mind thinking about them for years now. I FOUND THEM they are around but searching yelp for someplace different on the way home I ran across this place. Let me just say I'm a pretty happy girl. I had a hard time deciding between the Gyro and the Kafta Kabob because like I said I had this at a party so I didn't know the name. So I asked the front guy (I think he might have been one of he owners NICE guy) which he thought I should have, he said the Kafta kabob had more seasoning and flavor, who's going to argue with that, right? So it comes with a small salad, a kind of pico salsa, lots of seasoned rice and a pita, Kabob oh and a mild hot sauce (very good). The salad was fresh no icky pieces, nice. A kind of pico salsa had a bite or two but didn't want to waste space for the main coarse. The Pita was lightly buttered I believe with maybe a bit of garlic? not sure on that one but it was lightly grilled just slightly browned on the edges and oh so nice. The rice Mmmm seasoned fresh long grain Mmmmm I took a bite with every bite of kabob so it left a lot less room for anything. So onto the Kafta Kabobs Oh My this is a blend of beef and just a tiny bit of lamb for flavor a lot of people stay away form lamb because it is quite a strong flavor but you have to trust me on this one and try the blend it is light and adds so much to it, I loved it. There is many others seasons but come on I'm not that good ;) Sooo years after my kabob experience I have found it, the one. The decor is nice it is mellow you can watch the variety of people walk by. The wait wasn't bad it is a small restaurant btw so if its packed and you don't have time you might want to move on (waited 8 minutes) but if you want food that takes time to taste good then wait. BTW again I had leftovers big portions and they have a yelp offer check in and get a free soft drink. I will be back for sure... read more

Kabob Express - Kafta Kabob with free soft drink with check in on Yelp - Afghan Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The Kabob Express is in a satellite section of a Mall anchored by a Marketon Grocery Store. Right on the southeast corner of Tropicana Avenue at Eastern Avenue. It is an unassuming place in the middle of this small strip area at the front corner of the entire Mall. Libby and I went in and looked at the menu items up on the wall. We ask the Fellow at the counter a question or two, made our decisions, ordered, and paid. We took some of the plasticware and filled out drink cups. We took a nice table with a view of the parking area and the intersection. I ordered a Number 5, Lamb Kabob Dinner and Libby a Number 3, Chicken Breast Kabob. I do agree that it took a while for our order to arrive. The Chef cooked each order separately in a very hot kitchen area. Two families were already eating, one table of two was waiting and then us. The interior was clean, spacious, and cool. It didn't bother us to wait but, I believe that this Express is really a "Local". Our food arrived. Mine was a full plate of seven pieced of wonderfully cooked lamb. Cooked and browned well on the outside and medium rare within. The pieces were about 1.5" X 1.5 ". They were really nice sized chucks of juicy meat. There was also some romaine with a creamy dressing, seasoned rice, and a nice portion of tomato, onion, parsley salad that I usually call Israeli Salad. It was cold and flavorful. Libby's chicken kabob dinner was just like mine with the exception of the chicken instead of lamb. The chicken pieces were a hair smaller than my lamb pieces. They were cooked nicely and had a yellow color that I believe was the addition of some turmeric to the chicken marinade. Her chicken was moist and done perfectly. The pita on each plate was about a 3" size, warm, flavorful, and soaked up a lot of sauce. I had asked for some Maast Wa Khfar which is yogurt and cumber sauce. It is known in Greek as Tzatziki Sauce. It was cold and had a fine flavor that went well with my Lamb. With our dinner cam a small plastic cup of a green vinegar sauce that was like fire. I am still trying to find out what is in it other than "grated spices". So, beware of this "Green Dragon" if you have a tender palate. All in all this was a fine stop for us and a belly full of food for $20.00 bill. It was good enough that I ordered a pair of lamb kabobs and container of the cucumber sauce to take home. Give this place a try. the food is well worth it. Remember though, it is running on the "local" track and is definitely not an express train. My FIVE STARS for the food. read more

Ordered for one of my co workers birthday who picked this place. We were the first order of the day and it took them forever to get the food done (an hour). By the time we got the food it was cold. The order was not complete, meaning they didn't fulfill all requests per order. The food was bland, dry and just less than mediocre.. I can't really say much more.. We all had the chicken kabobs combo.. read more

I visited Kabob Express the other night for the first time! I live literally a 5 minute walk away and have always wanted to try it, but I finally had the opportunity so off I went. When I walked in, there were about 10-15 other customers eating in the small dining room. There was one Middle Eastern customer waiting to order in front of me, and then a few minutes later, another Middle Eastern customer was waiting behind me. Here is where I started to have a problem: Even though there were TWO men manning the cashier stand, neither of them knew what they were doing. They did not know how to take orders, how to make change, or how to talk with customers. Finally, after at least five minutes, it was my turn. However, the two men looked directly past me at the other customer BEHIND me and invited him to the cashier stand instead of me. I was very confused but continued to wait. After they took his order, they both pulled out their phones and started texting. I was pretty furious at this point so I marched up to the counter and asked if I could order. Both of the men seemed caught off guard that I would actually want to eat, but finally managed to take my order (amid much confusion over what I wanted, how to spell my name, and how to make change). I didn't even use my free drink from Yelp because I knew it would just waste more time because of all of the confusion. The only reason this review is getting 2 stars instead of 1 is because my chicken tandori kabob with rice was SUPER good. I almost didn't want it to be good because I was so disgruntled, but it was amazing. Don't put much stock in their bread (it was a HARD piece of pita) or salad (a few lettuce pieces thrown in the corner of the to-go box), but the kabob and rice ALMOST makes me want to go back. Almost. Not quite. read more

See all

I decided to try this place because of the Yelp reviews and it was a very pleasant surprise. I was in the area and saw the check in offer. The place is pretty small and in a strip mall. You can't miss it though; the name is in 3 foot tall letters with a yellow background. The décor was nice and not overdone. The owner was there and was really nice and cordial. I asked him what he likes and he said the lamb kabob was one of his favorites. And the green sauce that comes with it is one of his house specialties. The lamb was perfectly seasoned and cooked nice and tender. I don't eat lamb the often and this was a really delicious treat! The sauce, wow, spicy but not too spicy. The kind that keeps you going back for more. Now let's talk about the rice. OMG, I honestly and not a huge fan of rice but this rice was deeeeliscious. it was long grain rice. I don't know what they put in it but damn. I ate all of it and would have eaten more if there was more on the plate until I was in a carb coma. I think they sprinkle the top with a mixture of cayenne and sumac. The price was right too, I think I spent $13 including tip I would definitely visit again! read more

Always a pleasure to come in and eat. All the negative reviews always complain about customer service but never have I had issues and the reason being for this is because I am not picky and rude to the staff. If you come here, sit down, take your time, and enjoy your food as it should be then it will definitely be worth it. All the food is made from authentic family recipes and made fresh from full kosher (halal) meat. This restaurant is a hidden gem. My favourite recommended plate is the number 8 (chicken and beef sultani). The chicken is marinated in a delicious yogurt based marinara and the food is cooked over an open flame grill. Delicious. Another recommended plate is the chicken shawarma wrap with fries and a drink. If you love small genuine places to eat this is one. The manager and employees will remember you and they will become your second family. read more

Love this restaurant and feel compelled to visit it when I am in the neighborhood. Khalid the owner is very personable and I like the fact that he shares his Kabul heritage if you care to ask. The food obviously is cooked from scratch. So, be very patient, because it is well worth the wait -- especially because the prices are so extremely reasonable. It is not really "fast food," it truly is a home-cooked meal with quality ingredients. Addendum, updated 06/03/2012: I went there again today and once again the food was simply amazing! The care that is taken to cook AFTER it is ordered. Everything is made like your Great Aunt would do it if, of course, she was from Kabul, Afghanistan and if she was following cherished family recipes and if she were using only the finest ingredients. Just taste the rice and you will know what I mean. Then try any of the expertly spiced and prepared meats. You will be hooked. Khalid was not there this afternoon but Tommie was and he was just as gracious. I go to Kabob Express when I want a great meal for an incredible price and when I want to impress a friends or family. It truly is a bonus that the prices are so low. read more

Service was friendly I checked in for the free drink which was awesome. I ordered the kind sultani. The portions were very good for the price and they gave you a ton of rice. The food tasted fresh. I referred my friend to check it out and he loved it too. I will be back for sure read more

Kabob Express - King sultani - Afghan Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

A co-worker and I passed by this place on our way to get Chinese food but decided to give Kabob Express a try and was glad we decided to skip on Chinese. The place is pretty small but very clean and the gentleman at the front was very welcoming. Everything on the menu looked good but wanted to try a little bit of each of the meats. I decided on the meat combo which consisted of chicken, beef, and kefta. Each of the combo plates came with your choice of meat, rice, salad, and a pita bread. I wanted to go all protein so asked for the combo without rice but the cashier highly recommended the rice. You can certainly tell he was very passionate about his food and stood by it 100%. I also got a free soda with a yelp check in which I gave to my co-worker. Since I didn't order a drink for myself the cashier went ahead and offered me another free soda. Nice!! As the food came out I noticed the portions were pretty big. The meats were very tender and the chicken was very moist. The beef to my surprise was so tender I was able to separate it with just my fork. My favorite was the Kefta. I believe its made with a combo of beef and lamb but the spices is what really makes it stand out. Oh and be carful because you'll get the garlic burps after eating the kefta. I didn't mind since I was able to taste it throughout the day, it was that good. Also ask for the cucumber yogurt sauce and the spicy green sauce as both go perfect with the meal. Overall this place fully satisfied my protein craving. I would definitely come back. Awesome kabobs. read more

I came here today for lunch with my husband he got the beef wrap and I got number 8 it was chicken and beef cube with rice salad pita and they had this wonderful spicy green sauce that taste so good with the meats, when I got my food the portions are pretty big and I actually finish everything I would definitely come here again.. read more

Kabob Express - Yummy - Afghan Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The owner did call me (not because of this review), but because his worker did tell him I wasn't happy, so that impressed me. Most owners won't do that. He offered me a free meal & while it was ok, it still wasn't upto the standards when I went there the first & second time. The eggplant dish was HUGE slabs of eggplant instead of chopped up, so I had to use my teetch to cut it. It also didn't have that same taste. Oh well, they tried. read more

Every time I come to Vegas , I come here, one of the best middle eastern restaurants I've ever ate at, employees are very nice with great service. read more

Decent food here. Probably the best of the Arab/Muddle eastern food places in the area that I've tried. I am disappointed in the Middle Eastern food in Vegas, but this place wasn't bad. read more

Great experience here! For the connoisseur of middle eastern food, there is a full menu of standard kabob as well as some exotic selections which are served with salad, bread and rice. Free soft drink available with check in as well for a complete meal! I gotta admit that I'm not quite enlightened on some of the offerings so I got a gyro, with fries and drink for under $9! What's even better is that the portion size was so generous that I took half of it home for dinner the next day. World Cup playing on 2 screens was an added bonus. Great value and I'll definitely be back! read more

Went here based on the reviews and wasn't disappointed Fresh, very flavorful food. Picked up for lunch for my colleague and I and we both really enjoyed it. read more

The food was good, good service, no complaints here. If I were a local I'd probably frequent it. Loved the pita bread they serve it's the thicker kind more doughy, which is exactly the way I like it & severed warm. Great local restaurant, no frills, simple & good. read more

I've been going to Kabob Express for a couple of years now. If you're in the mood for delicious authentic kabobs complemented by awesome service that is reasonably priced, this is the place to eat. I would suggest the Kofta Kabob, but anything you order from their menu you won't be disappointed. Side Note: This place serves all Halal Meat, which is an added bonus. read more

We got the chicken shawarma and the lamb kabob... so good and def worth the drive. The only downside is there isn't a lot of staff so the service is slow. read more

Pros: Very good fresh tasty food It is Zabihah halal Very good customer service. Cons: Restaurant ambience needs an upgrade. But I can easily ignore it when compared to the taste of the food. Which was phenomenal. read more

For a place called express this place is slow as molasses. I got a combo plate with Kafta and chicken and my buddy a chicken wrap. Took almost 30 minutes to get out food and this was with the place mostly empty at 8pm on a thursday. The food was very good when we got it but the wait was just too much to overcome. read more

Damn good food yo! This is my second time here. First time I had the Gyro and it was pretty good. This time I ordered the Kofta Kabob and Chicken plate (#7) and it is DELICIOUS! Fast service, affordable and so yummy. The only reason I dropped one star is because I only wish it came with a side of hummus. Though you can get it for $4. read more

This place is a dump. The place was totally empty! The inside needs a makeover. I ordered the chicken wrap it sucked all I can taste is lemon and its wrapped in a tortilla it's more like Mexican food than middle eastern food. I won't be returning to this establishment. read more
