I was looking forward to trying this place for the first time. I got there right when they opened. The employee was NOT friendly or warm, at all. I asked him for his suggestions and he shared them with me. Anyways I got a steak kabob over rice. The meat was really good & tender. There was only one tomato which is surprising and disappointing. When I think of a true kabob I think of mixed veggies and plenty of them. There was a TON of rice which was hard to get thru without enough of the steak and veggies. I thought I could enjoy the rest of the rice the next day, but nope! It didn't taste as good even when I added some water. So I had to toss it. I am not sure if I would want to go back here again. read more

First time here and wow, the food is amazing! There are so many options to choose from, including fresh pizza. I got the chicken salad and it was hands down the best salad I've had in a long time. The flavor of the chicken was incredible, the pita bread was warm and soft, and the dressing tied everything together perfectly. My friend ordered the Margherita pizza and said it was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. We were all really impressed. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I was really happy with having a vegetarian roasted veggie plate (not always the case). This is not negative feedback just wishful thinking: i wish there was more than one tomato, and zuchini instead of squash but i was happy nonetheless and that is only preference. The meat options look very good. Portions were generous and i even donated some to squirrels! See video lol.. too cute to miss Wait was a little long and the restaurant is located near offices so location wise nothing special but its good! read more

I'd driven past many times and this is my first visit. What took me so long? This is a beautiful restaurant, so much wood and metal with the design. I'd expected it to be a little more busy, but maybe I'd just missed the lunch rush. I ordered a Greek salad and added chicken kabob. Although it took a little longer than anticipated, just wow -- such a generous portion! And the meat was pretty much fork tender. A small touch that made me smile: when the lady at the counter was clearing a table, she made a point to stop by and ask if everything was okay. As the only person up front she kept busy and engaged. This is also an exceptionally clean restaurant. Definitely want to return sometime soon. read more

Food was hot and delicious. Comes with yogurt sauce, but you'll have to ask for the garlic sauce if you want it. Plenty of parking in front. They take credit cards. There is also a fountain machine to get your own drinks. read more

This place has gone down in quality. A signature of any Iranian food is their chicken kebap and rice. Both were soggy and tasteless. Their baklava was not tasty either. Salad was good. Pita bread was cold and tasteless. Sad to see jacked up prices while food taste has gone down drastically. read more

I purchased a gift certificate and they said they cannot accept it because the ownership changed. The new owner purchased any outstanding liabilities that the company had. Otherwise they can just sell gift cards and then "change ownership" and keep all of the money. Sadly don't know how the food is because they wouldn't let me use the gift card that I purchased. The woman didn't even offer me any type of discount or anything. read more

Convenient spot for lunch when in the area with covered parking. Order at a quick walk up counter and choose a table inside (mostly 2 seater fast food type tables), or choose a wired table with an umbrella outside. They brought our food to us and helped clear our table when we were done. If you haven't checked out the plates, they're substantial servings and was pleasantly surprised with the salad size. - Chicken Donar Kabob is the most popular. Generous amount of juicy chicken but thought it could be slightly more tender - Beef Donar Kabob was also recommended read more

This place is awesome. We ordered a ground sirloin entree and a gyros entree. Both entrees come with basmati rice and a salad. The gyros were perfect. Seasoned perfectly. The steak was really good too. Portions are generous and the service was great. Looks to be a family owned restaurant. I prefer supporting mom and pop businesses. I highly recommend coming here if you are craving Mediterranean. read more

We went here for dinner last night and got a large house salad. I added a chicken kabob and gyro meat on top. It was gigantic. The chicken kabob was cooked on a metal kabob for even cooking throughout the chicken breast. It was the best, most tasty, most juicy large chicken breast kabob I have ever tried. It was large and savory. Luna Grill and Daphnis do not compare at all. Great job! The gyros were ok and they gave a great potion. I would have preferred more charred pieces of gyro meat. Also they did not offer any sauces like a garlic or yogurt sauce for the meat or pita. Service was mediocre at best and they never checked up on how things were. Some employees were on their cell phone as they worked and cleaned the floors. It was kind of weird since I was the only one there. After 7:35 pm I felt unwelcome and rushed to get out of their store. They wanted to clean and close up. Overall, great chicken kabob and awesome portions here. It could use side sauces for dipping. Service today was mediocre but I'm hopeful it's just a one off experience. If service continues to be mediocre again when I return star ratings will go down. I'll head next door for dinner for award winning sushi. read more

I've been coming here for years, but I haven't been here probably over six months. I don't know if the ownership has changed, but nothing was really good today. My mom's kebab plate did not come with grilled tomatoes or pita bread as it normally did. We had to ask for it. My wrap was super soggy, and when I asked for no onions, they gave me onions. The french fries were super soggy and not crispy at all. Everything just was not good. I don't think I'll be coming back unfortunately. This used to be our go to place to come and I don't think so. read more

Absolutely amazing! I had an amazing experience at Kebab Lounge in San Diego! The Persian pizza and koobideh pizza are simply the best I've had in the US, even compared to what I've had in Iran. The flavors are authentic, and contrary to some reviews, I found it not greasy at all--just perfect. Highly recommend this place! looking forward to trying the other items on the menu! read more

Happened upon this place after Yelp-searching for food in the area. Kabob Lounge was just around the corner. Clean and open dining area and patio next door to some Sushi bubbles. Service was somewhat prompt during this lunch-hour order frenzy. Probably the best chicken kabob ever of breast meat (may have been tenderloin). Not dry at all. Very juicy and flavorful. If we lived closer, we would frequent rather often. Good food. Got super busy before we were finished. Dicks read more

Pretty ok. I wish they had more sauces to choose from. I ordered a side of hummus with my order and my husband and I both got the gyro plate. He liked it a lot and I thought it was pretty good. The rice with the dates is delicious that you can add for 2$ is really good. My kiddo loved their gyro wrap and my other kid loved the hamburger. Prices are pretty reasonable and the inside of the restaurant has sumac on the table which is nice and you don't see that to often. read more

As someone who works in the office complex where the Kabob Lounge is located, I can confidently say that it's become one of our office's 'go - to' spots. Here's why: 1. Delicious food: The food is consistently very good, Whether you want kebabs, mediterranean dishes, pizza's or burgers, they've got you covered. 2. Reasonable prices. 3. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice ambiance indoors and fresh air outside. 4. Well maintained and clean 5. The owner, Pedram, has a warm and professional demeanor. He clearly strives to provide great food and great service, and from my perspective, he delivers. He clearly cares about his patrons. If you appreciate good quality Mediterranean cuisine, the Kabob Lounge will not disappoint. read more

I used to work across the street so it was convenient to stop in here, and we always had it catered in for meetings. It is located off the 5 and there is plenty of parking, including covered parking. Try to get there before the 12 noon lunch rush though. Some of my coworkers wanted to stop by last week for lunch because they love the spicy orange sauce that Kabob Lounge make, the price is reasonable, and the food tastes great. Typical Mediterranean flavors and plenty of menu options from build a plate to more standard wrap and fries options. The cashier / servers are very nice, helpful, answer all questions, deliver the food, bus the tables, all with a smile. I ordered the donner chicken kabob and fries, around $9.45. It was delivered after a few minutes and was decent sized but the wrap was kind of small. They did give me a lot of fries though. It did not fill me up but it tasted great. The wrap was tender and flavorful, not dry like some other competitors. I tried a little of the spicy orange sauce, it does have a kick to it, so beware. read more

We used to be regulars but then they got cheap and cut the kids' meal price in half and then removed it altogether. Haven't been back since... So, I figured to call them and they still don't offer it. They are near our home and it was a convenient option. Food is mid anyhow really. read more

We ordered two plates to go . Beef and chicken gyro. Beef was ok , chicken was not what I expected it kind of reminded me of braised chicken. (that could just be my bad on ordering the wrong thing since they had a decent number of chicken options ) The rice was dry and they forgot the yogurt sauce and the pita bread in our order. The salad also was clearly old and had sat in the fridge for days since the cucumbers and tomatoes in it had that slime u see when they go bad . Needless to say salad had to be thrown out. So disappointed since there were a decent number of good reviews. Won't be returning again read more

This place gives Iranian food a bad name. Has the owner ever tried Persian food from other Persian restaurants in town? Does he/she know what Persian food is supposed to taste like? I Ordered boneless chicken kabob and it was awful. The chicken had a weird smell and you could tell it was old. The rice was also old and tasteless. It's a shame because it is around the corner from my house and honestly, I would be a frequent customer had their food been any good. Every now and then I decide to give it a chance and yet remained disappointed. :( read more

Disappointing meal. The salmon was mushy and seasoning was not good, The side dishes were ok.

We used Restaurants.com certificate also Yelp users can get 7% cash back here, double bonus. Now coming to the review, pleasantly surprised. We changed our plans at the last minute and ended up here. It is impossible to spot that place while driving, you have to drive in to commercial business area and no big signs. I would suggest them to put some big signs. Food is Yumm, serving size is huge and service is excellent. I am just taking a star off for the hidden location. We ordered the following from Create Your Plate 1+2+3 1- Choose your, 2- Choose your Rice and 3- Choose your Greens 1. Chicken Tandoori plate + Adas Polo + House Salad : 7/10, Chicken could have been more juicer 2. Salmon Kabob plate + Persian herb pilaf + Tabbouleh: 8/10, Salmon melted on my mouth 3. Lamb Chops + Adas Polo + Shirazi Salad: 9/10 Just wow Also our 6 year old ordered, Kid's Grilled Chicken Tender, smartly replaced Fries with Persian herb pilaf rice. Overall, very satisfied with great food and awesome service. Will go there soon for our wraps read more

What happened to the quality of food at Kabob Lounge? We used to go here all the time. The tandoori chicken kabob plate is awful, soaked with red food color and tasteless. The salad is drenched in very vinegary dressing. The service was good and the staff was nice though. But we won't ever come back here. read more

Great food , fast service! I'm staying in the area for short while and found this place by chance. What a great find ! Good food, great flavor, reasonable prices.

Came here because it was only a few minutes away from our hotel. We parked and entered Kabob Lounge. The front counter is to the left and there was about 8 or 9 tables for 2 on the right side. You can move the tables to make 4 and do on. There were 3 other couples waiting for their food so we all came about the same time. The food came to our table and it was great the meat was hot and fresh. The rice was soft not dried up. The meat was very tender! My wife's lamb came med well and could of been med at the most. Mine was also good, the chicken was tender and I could cut it with the fork. The two girls taking the orders were very nice and helpful in explaining the different items that you can get. We sat down and the TV was on the World Series. This place is jumping during lunch time as it's in a business park. read more
