Two, plain and simple reasons to visit this place: the owners/employees and the food. Tony and Hasmik were one of a kind. It reminds you of being in your mother's kitchen with their hospitality. They make you feel comfortable and at home while making you laugh at the same time. The food was off the charts. The chicken tenders were marinaded to perfection and the beef koobideh was extremely flavorful. I'm already planning my next visit and I have two meals worth of leftovers read more

We got there right before they sold out. Said it would take 25 min but came out in less than 15! They even gave us two extra sauces which was sooo yum, next time I'll definitely order extra sauce. The flavors here are INSANE, it was piping hot and you can taste the mesquite. Worth all the hype and all the dollars. This plate was enough for 2 so the value isn't bad at all, especially for this quality of food. The tomato's and jalapeños were the perfect touch for a little bit of freshness. I loved taking a bite out of the tomato for some tang. read more

This rating is just on the food. I got the koobideh and the first couple bites were delicious. Then I had a few bites where it was pure salt. Crunchy pure salt that sent my blood pressure through the roof. Rice and sauces were good. But everything just tasted too salty especially after those bites. I ordered the chicken thigh as my coworker told me that's the must have. I ordered ahead but they had a mishap and when I got there, they said they actually ran out. The people were super kind and apologetic but this rating isn't based on this mishap. Just on the koobideh. They gave me a chimichurri sauce on the house and rushed my koobideh order as I was on my short lunch break which I do appreciate. read more

I'm not saying I ascended spiritually after eating here... but I definitely saw the light Pulled up to Kabob Grill N Go after a 16+ hour fast (medical procedure had me fighting for my life lol) and BABY... this was the reward I deserved. I ordered about a pound of chicken with basmati rice, grilled onions, jalapeños, and tomatoes--and when I tell you the flavor SLAPPED?? I mean it had me sitting there in silence just processing my life choices. The chicken? Juicy. Seasoned like somebody's auntie was back there guarding the recipe. The rice? Fluffy, not dry, actually worth every carb. And those grilled veggies?? Whew... they knew what they were doing. They gave me two sauces that I did not need... but did I use them anyway? Absolutely. And somehow it made everything even better. Illegal behavior. Also--can we talk about the vibes?? The staff was loud in the BEST way--fun, welcoming, joking around--it felt like I walked into a family function where everybody actually likes each other. 10/10 energy. If you're trying to meal prep, hit protein goals, or just need a plate that'll humble you real quick--this is the spot. Will I be back? Immediately. Probably tomorrow. Mind your business. read more

INCREDIBLE food!!! The customer service is really wonderful, super nice staff. This place has been on my bucket list for years and I am so happy I came here. Already planning to come back on the weekend. I highly recommend ordering the chimichurri sauce for dipping. The salad was amazing. I wish I got an extra skewer of beef koobideh to try but will add it to my list for next time. I think the pork ribs and chicken tenders were my favorite! Wonderful hospitality, so welcoming and great conversations while waiting! So impressed! read more

Kabob Grill N' Go - Chicken Tenders Combo with an additional skewer of beef barg and pork ribs. - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First time tryinf this place and it's sooooo good. I've had so many leftovers I didn't realize how big the entree was but it definitely kept me fed for 3 days. I got the chicken tender entree with rice and the grilled tomatoes and peppers. Soooooo good. I so wish there was a little bit more grilled veggies. But the service was quick since I ordered pick up. There's not a ton of seating room but there are some chairs outside and a small area inside. I will def be back! Also their chimichurri was amazing. read more

It's the juiciest chicken breast you'll ever have! Oh and we always ask for extra of whatever sauce they drizzle over it with because it's SO GOOD!!! read more

I really enjoyed eating here. Walking up you could smell everything being freshly grilled. When we approached the owner was delightful and explained everything to us including a warning that the portion sizes were large. We settled on one combo (to share) and a chicken kabob. It came with basmati rice, roasted tomatoes and a few other dressings. Couldn't even finish like a quarter of it because it was sooo much food. Will definitely come back again, probably to sample other meats and just get the same combination to eat throughout the week. Perfect for meal prep for the week. We ate outside where there was three tables but not ideal if you're expecting a "dining in" experience. You can see that in the photos and in the reviews tho so it wasn't a surprise. read more

Absolutely fantastic kabobs grilled over mesquite packed with favor! Came from out of town and decided to try this place which was so highly rated, and I soon found out why. The first visit tried the chicken tenders around dinner time, as it was the only thing left. It was ready in about 15 mins in a nice container to go, with generous portion size enough for 2 people really. The chicken was tender, juicy, and packed with mesquite flavor. My second visit the next day I called ahead and ordered barg kabob, it took about an hour to get it ready. Again it was packed nicely, huge portion size, and the meat was flavorful and tender. The service front of the house couldn't be nicer. The restaurant is really geared toward takeout, there are 2 tables outside and 4 barstools inside. Would reccomend highly to others and would come back again! Some suggestions that may make the experience even better 1) not much can be done about this given the location but only 2 parking spots for the restaurant makes it really hard to get in and out 2) would be nice if the meats were cut smaller, chicken and beef pieces are quite large and with a plastic knife can be difficult to cut. There was also some variation in how cooked the beef pieces were due to size variation 3) the phone ordering system could be improved. Took 15 mins of trying to get connected, and then another hour wait to get the food. An online ordering system would make this much more efficient 4) On my second visit I called first thing when opened to try to order the koobideh, was told sold out already. Would be nice if can prepare more as that seems to be a favorite read more

It's hard to stay on top with a small establishment and premium prices and yet here we are. Based on food merit alone, this place overcomes any negatives I might have because it is just that fresh, authentic, and tasty. Word to the wise: go early and call ahead because they sell out and it takes a while to cook as it's grilled to order! read more

I don't know where to start...the food or chef/owner Tony. OK, let's start with the food. I ordered the chicken thigh skewer with rice and Tony insisted on bringing me some Koobideh as well. It is an insane amount of insanely good food! Not cheap, but an incredible value for the sheer amount and quality of food. I loved the char and marinade on the chicken. The Koobideh was bursting with juicy goodness...a far cry from the sad dried out beef from most places. Everything was grilled perfectly. I was in Phoenix for business, but I live the LA area. I have no doubt that this is the best Armenian and Mediterranean food in AZ...but I would rank at it the top in LA as well and that is saying something. (Sorry, Zankou! You know I still love you too! Note to Tony: you should visit LA, go to Zankou, and copy their garlic sauce. It would be a great addition to your food. I think that it is similar to Lebanese toum...and Zankou's version makes everything better!). Now on to Tony. He is worth the trip to this restaurant by himself. He is a character in the best possible way. He knows every customer who walks in the door, and if the hospitality he showed me as a first time customer is the norm, it is easy to see why people keep coming back. His passion and love for the food and his customers is very evident. If you are having a bad day, skip therapy and go see Tony. Your head, stomach, and wallet will thank you. It is primarily take-out, but I ate at the 4 or 5 seat counter and they have 1 or 2 small tables outside as well. On my next visit I want to try the Pork Ribs and the Beef Barg! If you open an LA outpost, I will be first in line! read more

Holy frickin moly. Everyone must go here asap. This shop is only open five days a week 12-6pm and sell out fast of their meats. Because it's just that good. Call ahead! It's a pick up place, not sit and eat. Very smoky in there and I can see why from the very delicious smoky chicken. I got the chicken tender combo (they sold out of the thighs one hour past open) and told them when I wanted to pick it up! It was about $30 but is enough for four servings. A smackin good deal if you ask me. There is a hefty load of meat and it's so flavorful and juicy. It comes on heaping portion of rice with two roasted ginormous tomatoes and a pepper. I bought it a day ahead so I placed it in containers to keep it fresh and I had to get extra ones because there was jsut so much food. It came with some cucumbers and tomato salad, you get choice of tzatziki or a tahini sauce and the guy gave me both because it was my first time! I will be back very soon. Very impressed. Very homemade and small batch special. Stop in the middle eastern bakery and deli 10 steps away for some bread and dessert provisions! read more

Best chicken I have ever eaten. Everything was great. Can't wait to go back and get some more.

Why on earth do I forget about this place?? Was reminded in a Reddit thread last night and had my husband pick up the chicken thigh combo today for lunch. On the first bite I was instantly transported to Tel Aviv. Absolutely incredible flavor and perfect texture. There is NOWHERE in Phoenix - for me - that even comes close to proper middle eastern grilled meat. The perfect char, authentic marinade and sauce, and not one chewy dry edge. You guys rock this and we're so grateful to have the opportunity to eat your food. read more

The staff here is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food is absolutely delicious and fresh. You can really taste the quality in every bite. One thing to keep in mind is that they grill everything over mesquite charcoal, which gives it amazing flavor but can cause a bit of a wait--especially if they're swapping out for fresh charcoal. I'd recommend calling in your order ahead of time. I called 30 minutes before arriving and still waited about another 15-20 minutes, but the team was so kind about it--they even offered free drinks and extra sauce for the wait. If you're looking for flavorful, freshly grilled food and great service, this place is definitely worth it. Just plan ahead and be patient--it's worth every minute. read more

Great food, the meats are delicious and very moist, great service. Very friendly, of course saw it on DDD with Guy Fieri.

This place is such a gem when I visit the phoenix area . The food is delicious and offers a bountiful meal . I ordered the pork rib combo and the chicken tenderloin skewer with a side of basmati rice. When my wife saw the volume of food there was no way we could finish it all in one sitting . It could have lasted 3 days but we finished it in 2 days . So tasty .... The staff are so polite and gracious . My wife says the next time we visit phoenix , no need to go anywhere other than Kabob Grill N Go! It might be a little hard finding it in its street location , but just follow the aroma and smoke in the air . read more

Was finally excited to get a chance to try this spot after much hype from local influencers and Guy! It is a bit far from me so ordered ahead to ensure it was ready for pickup at the time that was desired to make it home for dinner lol. The good: the service. the portion was pretty decent that covered us for a few split meals and the flavors tasted fresh. We got chicken and meat combo and the preferred protein was the chicken. The rice was plentiful but had NO flavor but I guess the flavor from the protein marinade and side sauces helped make up for it a bit. The veggies were good and grilled nicely. Ambiance is pretty straight forward take out spot, nothing fancy but be prepared to leave smelling like smoke lol. I'm glad I tried it but definitely won't be rushing back as there are just as solid options closer to me. read more

My nail girl @shortiesnailz has excellent food recommendations around the Phoenix area and this was no exception. I've had the spot book marked on Yelp for a while, and we finally made it down here after we picked our son up at the airport for spring break. We were prepared to have a giant celebratory feast, trying this spot for the first time. I was confident it would be good because of the high praise from Erika, and also the awards and accolades the spot has earned. When we walked in, I spotted a Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives poster signed by Guy Fieri and knew this place was the real deal. The man who served us at the counter was extra helpful and friendly, and asked if it was our first time in. We took all of his food and order recommendations. We ordered: - Beef Barg Combo x2 - Tender cuts of sliced steak. skewered, marinated and charbroiled to perfection over a mesquite flame - Chicken Tenders Combo - Farm-fresh cuts of skinless chicken tenders, seasoned, marinated with onions and spices, charbroiled to perfection over a mesquite flame - Chicken Boneless Thigh Combo - Farm-fresh skinless chicken, cut in pieces, seasoned, marinated with onions and spices, charbroiled to perfection over a mesquite flame (ALL COMBOS SERVED WITH WHITE BASMATI RICE, SHIRAZI SALAD, GRILLED VEGGIES, AND CHOICE OF DIP) The server asked if we would like everything in one large tray and we said yes. He said he would throw in some extra grilled vegetables and Anaheim peppers for us. We were also given a large Shirazi Salad (Chopped cucumber, tomato and parsley with fresh lime juice and extra virgin olive oil dressing), Grilled Eggplant Salad (Grilled eggplant, onions, red bell pepper, garlic, and tomato), Cucumber Mint Dip, and Chimichurri Dip. We truly did have a feast when we got home. We loved all of the meats and grilled vegetables on a bed of fragrant basmati rice along with the delicious sides. I don't have a favorite side. They were all good. My favorite meat was the chicken. It is just beyond amazing. It is tender and marinated and delicious with crisp burnt edges. We were allowed to use the gender neutral bathroom at the back after we had traveled such a far distance, and I got to peek at the outdoor fire grill and the kitchen as I walked through to find the restroom. We were one of the first customers there and got our order in right away, but people were already on the phone calling and the place was busy with phone orders. It took a while for our order to get ready so we went next-door to the Middle Eastern bakery and picked up some more goodies and snacked on some grape leaves and spinach pies with rose water lemonade and Arabic coffee while we waited at the patio tables at the front of Kabob Grill n Go. We watched the line of people come in and get longer as everybody wanted to get their orders in for Saturday lunch and dinner. This place is delicious and service is great. Next time we're downtown I look forward to visiting again. read more

Parked my car in the back and was instantly hit with the fantastic smell of the meats cooking walking over. Service was great and the owner is very nice. They sell out of meats quickly so order early. Had the chicken thick and the pork rib. A combo portion is definitely enough to feed 2 people. The chicken was tender and the sauce on top complimented it well. Pork rib was great as well. The salad was refreshing and the orange sauce with it made for a great bite. They make everything fresh so it takes about 30 minutes to cook. Call in advance if you don't have time to spare. Will def be back read more

This family-owned Persian-Armenian gem was featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." If it's good enough for Guy, it's definitely worth a try! Chef Tony has a special set of skills! His vibrant energy shines through in his passion for cooking. His wife Hasmik was so sweet and welcomed my family and me with the warmest smile. She patiently walked us through the menu and gave us fantastic recommendations. Oh. My. Kabob! WOW! The chicken thigh combo is simply out of this world! It's like Chef Tony marinated each piece in pure happiness before grilling them to succulent perfection. The combo comes with a side of juicy Roma tomatoes and bell peppers that add an extra burst of flavor to every bite. And the portion sizes were huge! Between the three of us, we still had to take leftovers home. The inside is cozy and can get a bit smoky from the grill, but there's a lovely table outside where you can enjoy your meal in the fresh air. We were so impressed with the food and overall experience that we decided to cater my Granny's 90th birthday lunch from here. Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like some seriously delicious Persian-Armenian magic! The food was a hit, and my family members kept asking where we got this amazing food. The cutest thing I've ever seen was their daughter's artwork for sale. Her drawings added such a personal and charming touch to the whole experience. Trust me, your taste buds will be so happy, and you'll be saying "Kebabsolutely delicious!" with every bite! read more

Kabob Grill N' Go - Here with the Phoenix Kabob Legend "Tony" - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place is legit, and I think it lives up to the national hype. The chicken is excellent, particularly the thighs. They use like a thick, very savory yogurt type marinade, yet the smoke from the mesquite char grilling still penetrates through, especially on the thighs. For some reason, the smoke flavor doesn't penetrate as well with the koobideh, which is still very good, but I'd recommend the thighs or tenders. Gotta try the steak next time. The sauces are also very good, the little salad that comes with exceptional (great tang and tons of fresh herbs to cleanse palate), and i recommend getting extra of all this. I also really like the grilled tomatoes and jalapeños that come with it, though I think they should throw in some thick grilled onion slices in the future too (please, for me!). That would really seal the deal. Portions are huge, one plate can feed 2 adults and two kids, so the rather expensive price isn't that bad when you take that into account. Order early for a later pick up because they run out. The restaurant (basically only pick up) is just filled with mesquite smoke and it wafts out all over 16th st. Legit. Do try. read more

"For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the world but lose his soul?" If the tempestuous world he gains has one single sliver of kabob grill 'n go chicken remaining, then one must sit and ask. What has more soul than the mesquite and love imbued grilled chicken? If you recounted a thousand men marching in formation against this location I would stand alone bare naked exalted to defend this bastion of affordable proteins sanctity. Koobideh this good, chicken this great does not come once in a life, it comes once in a world. read more
