Kabob House is amazing - an absolute hidden gem in Riverside that I've had at least 20 times in the last 7 years. I've had halal kabobs from restaurants all over SoCal and the country and this place is still my favorite. It's a great option for catering (I always get the family platter pictured) and this was my go to place when we lived nearby - the flavors are tasty but not too overpowering so it works for all guests no matter their spice preference. We still drive up to 30 mins to cater from here because the food is always so good and a reliable hit with any guests that we have over. FOOD: The meat is not just flavorful but most importantly, it's somehow always just so moist, so juicy, and so tender all the way through. And it's not just the meats - every item they serve is just really unexpectedly delicious. At most kabob places, the rice/pita/salad/hummus are just weak add ons to fill up the plate, but these items are always so delicious at Kabob House and you can always taste the flavor bursting in every item (my fav is the salad which has a lemon/vinegary kick to it that just elevates the meal). All the items on the menu are great, but my personal favorite is the salmon kabob (if you've never had a salmon kabob, do yourself a favor and try it out and at least add one skewer of it if you get a combo) - the owner recommended this to me years ago, and I've always added at least a couple skewers every time since - all my guests rave about it. SERVICE/AMBIANCE It's a small casual family owned restaurant and the service is always super friendly. You can see the food being made fresh behind the counter which shows their confidence - it's clear they take immense pride in the quality of all their items and are eager to share their food and Palestinian heritage. The price is also exceptional value for the quantity of food you get, especially compared to other similar restaurants. OVERALL: I will continue to eat from here and would highly recommend trying it out. read more

"Personally I never open a session of parliament without eating a kebab first." ROBERTA METSOLA One just has to love the Kebab, or Kabob ;-) Was in town checking out potential sites for a new affordable housing project and at the end we all checked yelp and this spot was close by. Reviews were good, local hole in the wall, let's find out... Service is counter, friendly and nice. As befits the current economy, prices are a bit higher for a local lunch. Food was excellent, enjoyed my Kafta very much although I would have preferred a grilled tomato and peppers like other places have. Bread was good, rice was good. Soda refillable :-) I will definitely try again when in the city. Recommended!! read more

The Food was so good and fresh I will definitely Recommend friends here for a good yummy meal read more

I really love the food here. I came and ordered Ty mixed shawarma (beef and chicken) plate with an extra pita. The owners are very kind and welcoming, and the ambiance is very laid back. The portion is very generous and the food has wonderful flavor. The meats are well seasoned and delicious, and the grilled onions that come on top take the taste over the top. Comes with a great salad (perfect with the yellow peppers) and a side of hummus. Come hungry! read more

Kabob House - Mixed shawarma plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Riverside, California

It was my first time trying Kabob house and it did not disappoint. The employee at the register answered my questions on what was most popular. Very friendly service. I believe the food is made to order, so it is very fresh! The meat and chicken, both seasoned to perfection. And I mean it just has a good amount seasoning and spices nothing that I've tried at other Mediterranean places. I will definitely be going back again! Have to support a local business! Absolutely amazing read more

Kabob House - #7 Mixed Shawarma Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Riverside, California

my late uncle brought me here once and i remember especially enjoying the rice. haven't been here in years but decided to stop by. the flavors are still the same!! prices are steady and reflect those of even last year (which is rare these days). tender meat and good flavor, buttery and soft rice, and fresh vegetables in the salad. ordered #4 skewers kabob (3) and got one of each beef, lamb, and chicken. i enjoyed the lamb the most since it was the most tender and the seasonings fit that meat best. beef was a little tough for my liking but still had good flavor. chicken was chicken haha. the salad and hummus were sour but that's how i enjoy my things! salad seems to have the vinegar mix from the peppers. food flavor. could use some cheese but it works. good crunch from cucumbers and tomatoes. i only wish the bread was made in house. i got the mango lassi drink and it was just okay, wish it had more mango or yogurt flavor. i wanted to try salaam cola but didn't see it until i was on my way out (cans were turned away). it would also be nice to have drink prices posted somewhere. they have a cool selection like orangina (french), tazah, golden plate, and karoun. they even have a mint yogurt drink...interesting stuff. service was prompt and cashier was nice. it's pretty quiet and clean for the most part. some people will hate on the "outdated" look but i think it works. it is family-owned and they serve good food. their beautiful artwork and pictures/history is a plus! palestine and its people are beautiful...and its food is delicious!! overall, it was very filling and nice setting to eat in. will be back to try their desserts! they have so many to pick from. read more

Chicken was ok but beef was barely cooked and over seasoned with pepper. Not one to go out of my way to give a bad review especially one that has mostly high reviews but also don't want someone getting sick so just be careful. Maybe I just went there on an off day. read more

Kabob House - Beef kabob meat was almost raw - Mediterranean Near Me - Riverside, California

While in Riverside, we stopped at lunch at the kebab house and for a small fast food restaurant this was pretty darn good. The meat was very tender. The hummus was excellent and it comes with a garlic sauce of some sort that really has a kick to it. The people there were all smiles, very nice, our food was brought to our table, and it was very enjoyable read more

Kabob House - 1. Beef Kabob with rice, hummus, handmade, pita bread and salad. - Mediterranean Near Me - Riverside, California

I absolutely love this place. I used to eat it weekly when I worked in Riverside. I haven't been for a several months and was please that the food was still as delicious as before. The service is amazing. It's a family owned restaurant. The ambiance is casual. I definitely suggest you try this place out if you're looking for Mediterranean food. I wish I lived closer. And please don't just my photo. I always order the chicken kabob plate with all salad and literally mix it all together with a side of tabbouleh. It's fire! read more

Kabob House - I forgot to take a pic before I made my salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Riverside, California

So good! Everything was super fresh, well seasoned, and delicious. Service was great from super friendly staff. I had the falafel pita which was SO GOOD. My girlfriend let me try some of her kefta wrap and it was also very flavorful, fresh tasting, and dekicious. The restaurant and even the outside patio area are super clean and nicely decorated. They just opened a Luna Grill across the street, don't know why Riverside would allow this, but just know Kabob House is the real deal and Luna Grill is the McDonald's of Mediterranean food nothing but corporate chain slop . Can't wait to come back here again. Best Mediterranean food in Riverside by far! Can't recommend it highly enough. read more

This is my go to spot whenever I'm in the area. The food is hands down the best and tastes homemade! The downside is that the restaurant looks a little run down, so make sure to manage expectations. For example, I would recommend taking your order to go (and avoid the restrooms, if you can). While the staff is busy, they always make time to greet you and answer any questions about their menu. We order the meat skewer plate that included hummus, salad and rice. Plus, a chicken shawarma wrap. The portions of the plate were so big, we had a second helping in the evening. We of course had to finish with two orders of baklava. read more

It's a cute cozy dine In or even a side patio location set in the heart of Riverside. I have drove past this location so many times and glad I finally stopped in. I was greeted right away. Tables and seats clean. My order took a good 15mins but it's because everything was fresh and hot. I had the Chicken Kabob plate. The chicken was sooo good and had a nice tang to it. The rice, fluffy! The hummus was creamy! Tabbouleh , ugh, I loved it and it was especially good with the small pieces of pickle! The side salad made my moth water!!! And the pita delicious. The portion was so good for the price! I took half home and had it for lunch the next day and ugh, everything still go good! Needless to say, I'll be back! read more

Kabob House - Leftovers the next day. Even more tangy! House Kabob Is full of flavor! - Mediterranean Near Me - Riverside, California

Excellent Quality, Service and Taste. My parents have been going to Kabob House for years and love the Beef Kafta & Lamb Kabob Plates. My husband and I love the Chicken/Falafel Kabob plate and Chicken Shawarma Fries. I highly recommend the Falafel and Chicken Shawarma Fries. The fries have an amazing sauce that works so well. For 3 Plates and one order of fries, the total was $75 but well worth the price because we usually have leftovers. I would recommend this Authentic Mediterranean to anyone. Best in the Inland Empire. read more

Great spot! Food came out super hot & fresh. We ordered a combination skewer plate and their chicken shawarma.

I've always been kinda indifferent about Mediterranean food but this place changed my mind. It's fire af. The beef and chicken kabobs are both tasty and everything is just seasoned wonderfully. I came with my fiancé to share and the worker noticed and even brought us an extra plate! I'll definitely be coming back :) read more

Best Arabic food ever! We've tried all middle Eastern foods in the area and I will pick this place hands down every time. The food is just great, the service is amazing and the ambiance is relaxing. It's not fast food so don't expect to get your order in 2 seconds. It's definitely worth the wait. The hummus is great, the shawarma is amazing and ofcourse the kabobs! read more

Food is the good and service is A1. Location is so convenient and close to all amenities.

First time trying this place, very good customer service. Clean, small family owned restaurant. The menu looks amazing. We went with what we we've eaten elsewhere, kabob. The lamb kabob was not disappointing, 2 skewers packed with deliciousness, so flavorful. Basmati was freshly made answer so aromatic, love that it's such a light rice. Hubby had the chicken, very tender with alot of flavor. The hummus and salad was also fresh, very tasty. We will be back to try other items on the menu! Oh their baklava is homemade so good!!!! read more

Kabob House - Skewers Kabob Combo Plate with Kafta Skewer and Chicken Skewer - Mediterranean Near Me - Riverside, California

This place is the real deal . I was craving Mediterranean/ Greek food but I wanted to try something new since my go to place is Greek street grill up the street . When I went in I scanned over the menu and I was greeted by the guy working and he explained the whole process . He was even kind enough to let me sample the newest dessert they had there . I decided on the beef shawarma plate which includes meat , rice , salad, hummus, garlic sauce and a pita bread and everything is made fresh to order . From the smells coming from this place I could tell this place was going to be good . The minute I took my first bite I was sold . The meat was flavorful and wasn't dried out . The salad was extremely fresh and very refreshing . The garlic sauce was extremely flavorful and the pita was nice and light . The rice was amazing as well . This place might become my new go to spot for lunch. read more

I've been coming here for years, and the service and food have never disappointed. My go-to is the beef shawarma plate, but over time I've tried most of the menu and everything has been consistently amazing. The flavors are always spot on, the portions are generous, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. It's one of those places you can always count on for a great meal. read more

Amazing Middle Eastern food. I think it starts with the authentic flame grill. You can smell and taste the char from the chicken. Amazing. Tried lamb, beef and chicken kabob combos and I loved it all. The salad, the garlic sauce, the dressing, rice and meat. I'm only disappointed that I didn't try this place earlier despite passing by for several years now. Location is unassuming. The great reviews are legitimate. read more

Delicious. Kabob House is always fresh. Family owned. Not fancy but healthy and tasty !

It's an excellent restaurant. Food is delicious, but the service is a bit challenging. Also, it takes too long to prepare. Maybe shortage in the kitchen crew or a lack of experience is the issue. In any case, the management should be directly involved in the issue. read more

Been going here for yrs.. very personal and very great small family business!! Everyone in my unit goes to eat here on a daily or weekly basis.. read more

I use to come here all the time because I lived within walking distance. Last time I came with a friend, we both got sick. I spoke to the owner about our experience and he accused us of wanting a free meal. We never asked for anything, we were just sharing our concerns with him. I wouldn't recommend because of the food and rude service. Definitely not coming back. read more

Food was delicious, good service, located across kaiser hospital..............i ordered the number 3 on the menu and it was excellent

Good authentic food .. little busy at times .. small place but relaxed atmosphere.. got the beef shawarma wrap and hummus.. Delicious!

Located on Magnolia Ave near Park Sierra Dr across the street from McDonald's, with plenty of parking and outside seating. I was craving good Mediterranean food and found 'Kabob House' online, so I walked in to give it a try and ordered takeout. Friendly and welcoming cashier who was very helpful with the menu. The restaurant is small and kept very clean. Food is served on Styrofoam containers. We ordered their 'Chicken Kabob Plate', which is basically what I know as a Mediterranean Salad. Chicken Kabob was delicious, but the plate had a bit too much dressing for my taste. I also tried their 'Beef Shawarma', which is Tri-tip with hummus, onions, tomatoes, Pickles & Tahiti wrapped in Pita. For appetizer, we had their 'Shawarma Fries' with beef and finished our dinner off with a 'Namoora' as dessert (a coconut & almond cake). Everything was delicious, meat so tender & flavorful...it was such a satisfying dinner. Prices are competitive, and portions are generous. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu items. Overall, we had a good experience here. read more
