    Family platter - comes with 8 skewers (we chose beef, chicken, salmon), rice, salad, pickled veggies, hummus, garlic sauce, pita.
    Omair J.

    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.

    Mixed shawarma plate

    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!

    some desserts: namoora/namura, pistachio baklava, and sugar cookies

    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.

    1. Beef Kabob with rice, hummus, handmade, pita bread and salad.

    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

    #7 Mixed Shawarma Plate
    Amber E.

    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

    I forgot to take a pic before I made my salad

    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!

    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.

    Chicken Kabob and Falafel Plate
    Jillian V.

    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.

    Beef kabob meat was almost raw

    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.

    Leftovers the next day. Even more tangy! House Kabob Is full of flavor!

    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!

These aren't just burgers, they're the best rated LA burgers now brought to Riverside, and the hype is 100% real and deserved. What sets Urban Skillet apart before you even take a bite is the integrity behind the food 100% non-GMO, grass-fed, organic, and halal. You're not just eating something delicious, you're eating something you can feel genuinely good about. And the flavor? Every single item on the menu is addictive. I have yet to find a miss. The side sauces alone are absolutely elite!!!! The kind you think about days later and use as your excuse to come back sooner than you planned. Knowing that this place started from humble beginnings , literally setting up tents and grew into the brick and mortar gem it is today in Riverside makes every bite taste even better. You can feel the passion, the pride, and the hard work baked into everything they do. The staff moves at the speed of light, endlessly accommodating and genuinely friendly every single time. I've dined in and DoorDashed multiple times and it's always amazing, that consistency is rare and speaks volumes. Urban Skillet deserves every single star and more. A true Riverside treasure.

    Reading some of the previous reviews gave me a chuckle. What do you mean it was too cold inside?…read moreYou're about to stuff your face over an open fire grill. Don't want to be sweating while you're eating. Coming from highland/redlands, I am happy that there is a ayce kbbq spot in close proximity. Starting with cons: the parking is absolutely terrible. Parking spots are cramped and there's simple not enough spaces, especially during peak times. Pros: now as a long time ayce bbq lover, I understand that red castle quality is not top tier and I don't expect it to be when I go. I view red castle as an affordable joint to get my brisket and beef belly fix, which are the only two items that I basically get. It's odd reading about others experience with service, because every time I go, the service is always fast. I don't need to ask for the grill change because they are fully staffed and consistently checking in. Sure, the hospitality could improve a little but realize what you're going in there for. To stuff ya face! If you're coming here and comparing this place to other kbbq joints, you'll surely be let down. But to enjoy ayce protein for ~25 bucks without having to clean and prep a solid meal, many would realize the true gem that is Red Castle. I remember when their ayce was 13-15 bucks when they opened. Those were the days. I'm also glad that they allow single dining during the week. Not something that I'm able to take advantage of most of the time bc of work but I'm glad it's offered. To all the kbbq snobs (I'm one of them still). Go pay 40 for ayce somewhere else and be happy. Red castle is my go to for a quick fix that is close to home and affordable.

I wouldn't call this place BEST in the IE even if call it a place that's somewhat budget friendly in addition to a service fees and adding on the tip for service that's bare minimum. Quality of meats very fatty & poor & the ban chan (side dishes) are extremely overly saturated with sauce and Kim chi that wasn't fresh it was more on the SOUR and just disgusting in flavor , texture and color it doesn't seem Authentic if you know the difference of real Kim chi from other restaurants. Made several attempts to flag our server which seemed flustered and overwhelmed just for ordering extra meats and replenishing our beverages was such a huge in convenience. For KBBQ definitely in this order I'd say .. local restaurants I'd rather go to Wang Cho in riverside or chino hills U grille 2 spots in Rancho Cucamonga and As far as ayce self serve Koreana grille Riversde . If you wanna travel out hit up Orange County , Rowland heights , LA , SGV for the real deal . Would i dine here again , negative it's disgusting and poor quality of meats very fatty and rubbery texture and ban chan & soups that aren't authentic this restaurant is catered to a particular budget demographic and everything isn't just poor quality. Eating kbbq is more than just eating meat & drinkin beer .. Realistically but do what you wanna do ..
