Kabob Shack - Loveeee my meal - Afghan Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am at a loss of words ! Me and my family have been coming to this little spot for quite some time. We were sad to hear they closed because they produced the best falafel sandwiches. We went back today for a little drive and we were amazed to see them back in action. This little admirable place is the place to be at because of the great taste in food, and generous staff. This gem deserves a drop in so if you happen to be in the area, be sure to stop by, you won't regret it! Best of luck guys, will be back very soon :) read more

Great lunch spot, quick service, gyros are good and the fries accompanied with the dipping sauces are great.

Decent Middle Eastern Spot They have entrees, pita sandwiches, and salads to name a few. For entrees they have Mediterranian meats, fish, and veggies. I got the Chicken Sandwich $7.50. Solid size, decent flavor, and fresh. The wrap was tasty. read more

Dealing with current GI issues have me looking at all restaurants with a raised eyebrow because I am still trying to figure out what I can tolerate. Even though, I'm on a bland diet now, it's totally boring. I am foodie at heart so I realize I am going to test the waters, lol. I enjoy Mediterranean food and was walking around trying to figure out what to try; this place was on my walking path so I went inside. The menu is simple but exotic. I didn't want to go overboard with eating something to dramatic so I chose the salmon salad with mixed greens and the Banjan, which was eggplant, mixed peppers and tomatoes with a side of bread. I dined inside and another customer was also dining alone. Solo riders, lol. The price wasn't too exorbitant. I was okay with that. The food took a while to come despite that it wasn't busy but the wait was worth it. Fish salad was delish. It was grilled, simply seasoned and the greens consisted of some arugula, Romaine lettuce and spinach (from my memory). The Banjan was a nice addition to my meal. It wasn't that spicy or salty. Yogurt sauce was dressed on top of the Banjan so I had to avoid it for now. Overall, the meal was pretty good. This restaurant is completely out of my way but I would definitely come around again when I visiting Y&M Nail salon since it's not too far from it. read more

On some new york shi... Best lamb chops in brooklyn very affordable awesome Staff sheesh go get ya munchies for THE SPOT

Not the same after renovations. This used to be my go-to lunch place, awesome food for a good price. But it's gone downhill a lot since the renovation. THREE orders in a row they forgot to include a part of my order, and what I got was mediocre. The sandwiches are ok, but definitely not worth the hefty price increase they added on. It's a shame, I hope they get their quality back up but for now I'll be skipping this place. If you want good Gyro in Wburg, go to Sammys Halal on Bedford read more

This was particularly bad food, perhaps it had to do with the fact that when ordered through Uber it took an hour for the restaurant to have the food picked up by the driver, and by the time I got it, it was completely cold, i mean COLD. The sauces were good, but the gyro was dry and not amazing. AVOID read more

Great quality for the price. I went to Kabob Shack with a friend on Saturday night and really enjoyed the food. We got the salmon, chicken and lamb kabobs with rice and fries on the side, as well as the banjan, an eggplant dip with pita. All the food was seasoned and prepared well - the chicken in particular was really juicy and succulent, which is something not every place can master. Aside from the food, one of the best parts of the place was the staff - they were extremely warm and welcoming and really added to the experience. There isn't a ton of seating inside and you might have to share tables with other groups, but that's just a minor issue. Kabob Shack is a great neighborhood place with good food and great service. read more

Best kabob in town I always order from here and they never failed me trust me you won't regret it.

Really great food, the fries are amazing. (If only I could cheat on my diet more) I am a big fan of their lamb, so tender and delicious. Friendly staff, clean place. read more

Great spot if you're looking for a quick, high quality fix but not looking to spend! I got the lamb platter for 11 dollars and was quite filling. Will be back! read more

Love this place! My go to - amazing good gyro is delicious. It looks like it may be closed now? Anyone know what happen?

Nice owner/manager. Very clean store. Amazingly fresh and tasty falafel !! Maybe the best I ever had. Haven't tried their other dishes, but I will. Whenever I'm in the area I stop by. read more

Ordered my food for takeout, got all the way home and it was the wrong order. Ordered a Gyro plate but received a sandwich and fries.

If you're hungry in South Williamsburg between 10:00PM and 11:00 PM, your three options are now: 1) Checkers, 2) an anonymous bodega, or 3) Kebab Shack. May this place live long and prosper so hard. Great falafel. read more

The staff of the Kabob Shack is very dedicated to serving good food. Although the food took a little longer to come that expected, it was worth the wait. How can one complain about made to order food? In other words the wait was not unreasonable. We ordered the salmon kabob entree, fries & a falafel sandwich. Everything tasted fresh & delicious. read more

Probably the best falafel sandwich I've had in my life. This place is consistently good too, and I should know, coming from someone who comes 1-2 times a week. I always get the falafel sandwich special which comes with fries and dipping sauce of your choice. The jalapeño sauce is amazing! The fries here are damn good too. They have a subtle sweetness to them. I don't know how to describe them, but they're great. Expect a 5-10 min wait for your food, since it's made to order. And be thankful for that - it makes the food taste much better. read more

Ostensibly a food truck, Kabob Shack would be probably be better served as one - the $11 plated entrees (rice, roasted tomato and onions and meat), which already come in disposable plastic containers, could be marked down a couple of bucks, and customers wouldn't ever need to embark on the very mildly unpleasant experience of sitting down in the small, kind-of-cold cafe to eat. I imagine most of their business is take out, anyway. read more

I have been on the look out for the ultimate gyro for years now. Guess what ? I FOUND IT !!! The best gyro I ever had in my life. The perfect amount of lettuce, tomato, onions and meat. The perfect amount of tzatziki. The softest pita bread. This is the real deal. I will never eat a gyro any where else again. It is that good. Reviewers its not white sauce its tzatziki. read more

This is our mid-week standby. The chicken sandwich is freshly cooked and absolutely delish. It's not huge but with a side of fries or the bulani (the triangles) it's a full meal. The chicken salad is also great and plentiful. My husband likes the gyro sandwich, says "it's awesome." For the the reviewer talking about Instanbul, please do your homework. This is not a Turkish restaurant (the owners are Afghani). This type of food exists in many parts of the world, take your turkey talk somewhere else. And for the reviewer who claims these guys are high and mighty (or something to that effect) clearly you've never eaten here. It's a local joint, not fancy. The owners take pride in the fresh delicious food they serve. Yes, it takes time (this ain't McDonald's people). It's worth the wait for fresh, home-cooked tasty food. read more

The best hands down! You will not be disappointed if you are ever craving an authentic Gyro, salad or Falafel ! They also have the most delish fries. Nothing compares to Kabob Shack! read more

Not bad at all. Falafel is a decent price and filling. Not the most authentic in town but good if you've got a hankering. Vegetable sandwich is as messy as they claim. Take our words for it, but it is tasty. Call ahead for speedier service. Recommend the Falafel Sammie read more

I got the lamb gyro + fries with the roasted garlic sauce and it was all AMAZING. The workers here were also so accommodating and polite. Quality food, definitely worth it. Thanks guys! read more

This place will be a regular spot for falafel Sandwiches. The Space Reminds you a bit of a nice coffee shop with wi-fi. I don't think they have free wi-fi, but I think you know what I'm talking about. Clean, minimalist interior with a glass front to the store. Wooden floors. I don't think you can open a 5 star restaurant and sell falafel. I took that into account when giving them their stars. The Service. These guys are from the mid-East. Didn't ask where from. They are friendly and serve you promptly. When I went it was freezing out and so there was no line. The Food. This is my first time visiting. I ordered the falafel and fries for $6.00. They should really change the name from fries to pommes frites. Cause these fries are real chopped potatoes that are fried. It's not commercial french fries. They were really delicious. And they give you choice of a sauce to go with it. I went for the European, which is ketchup and mayo. Okay so there are other places around the city known for their falafel: Rainbow Shwarma, Mahmoud's, etc. This restaurant's falafel sandwich is different though. They use fresh chick peas like the other guys, but their pita bread is much higher in quality. I want to say that they make the pita bread themselves or they have some source that is providing them with pita bread that tastes homemade. It is thin, a little crispy, and has an artisan feel to it. They serve their falafel with red cabbage that has been soaked in some sort of brine. It gives the cabbage a tangy flavor that goes goes nicely with the yogurt sauce. These guys really caught me off guard. I didn't read any reviews on the place before I went in. I just walked past and something said give it a try and so I did. And lucky me. I discovered a wonderful, new, inexpensive place to grab a bite to eat. read more

Food is very good, but they don't give you cups of water. The lamb kofta is excellent. They give you two pieces for $10.50 which is very good. It comes on a platter of rice with onion, tomato and tzatziki sauce. read more

Gross misrepresentation of their menu. Their beef gyro is mixed with lamb (they don't mention that on the menu) the "chicken" Bolani is mostly egg mixed with chicken... the "mixed veggie" Bolani is greasy fried potato. This place sucks! read more

Best falafel I've ever had in NYC. I wish the offered delivery directly instead of thru expensive apps like Caviar. Caviar requires a pricy minimum but my God it's delicious. read more

Delicious afghan kabobs with tons of flavor, the Middle East meets Brooklyn with love. First off this place has one of the cleanest kitchen in Williamsburg and a smiling staff willing and able to help you. Now to the food the kabob dishes come with salad, rice and the house special white sauce, they also give you a little hot sauce on the side. It's hot if your into heat. The flavor takes you back to Casablanca, here's looking at you kid. If your into kabobs this is the place to visit. Enjoy! read more

See all

Nothing negative to say about this place other than you can wait a while for a pick up order as they cooked your food to perfection. Best Gyro I have had in the city, hands down. The $4.50 falafel pita (get white and spicy sauce) is a drunk/broke go to that never fails to impress. The fries are fantastic - fried then finished in a pan for an awesome texture. And the dipping causes are out of this world (get the jalapeño cheddar). So we have great food at great prices. What else is there to like? If I am feeling particularly fat and lazy - I place an order as my J/M/Z crests the Williamsburg bridge and it is ready for pickup as I walk past. Kick Oasis to the curb and try this place, you won't regret it. read more

Closer to a 3.5. We came here on a Friday night around 9:30. I had the gyro with fries. Overall, the meal tasted fresh, way better than the halal carts. The fries and meat were a little on the salty side. It balances out with the white sauce and ketchup. The customer service was very friendly, ambiance is very small, but cute. It is a tad bit on the pricier end. read more

I absolutely love this place! Such savory and tasteful food. *I will say that it was very messy to eat because there was quite a bit too much sauce. I went through a large handful of napkins to clean it up the whole time I was eating. (Btw, I am the type of person that would rather use a single napkin while eating instead of being wasteful..if that tells you how much sauce there was.) The fries were great! The food is just very satisfying. The only downfall of this place is the wait time. It was COMPLETELY empty when I went with a friend and we each ordered a gyro with fries. Took just about 30 minutes. But maybe that's what you get when it's made fresh? Tasted awesome enough to be fresh but I really couldn't say if it was for sure or not. read more

YES! Go here! I cannot believe how much I enjoyed the food. I honestly did not think I was going to like it that much, but I was very happy to be wrong. The place was actually about to close soon when we got there, but the workers were nice enough to still serve us. I had the fish kabob and it was awesome. It was so satisfying. Try this place out some time! read more

Came here when it first opened and we were both obsessed. Food flavorful, great amount and great dipping sauces. Since then prices have hiked up a bit, and service can be questionable depending on who is working. You can end up waiting a good half hour for it easy, and you may not be greeted with the happiest of campers. Easily distracted or on their phones. read more

The Kabob Shack is walking distance from me so it's definitely my spot. I love the chicken sandwich from here! My sister-in-law tried the falafel sandwich and said it it delicious. Everything always just tastes so fresh from here. read more

Many of Istanbul's most highly regarded kebob shacks don't even have a sit-down space, just a diner of meat in a tiny stand bazaar stall. They serve shoppers a quick but hearty sandwich as a temporary shopping respite. The owners of capital K, capital B Kebob Shack should keep this in mind, for the glacially slow service here moves the middling fare here to actively non-enjoyable experience. It should not take more than 20 minutes to serve a chicken kebob to a nearly empty counter on a Sunday afternoon. Also, you shouldn't have to order three times from a menu with only a smattering of options. The orders were so throughly mixed up that it took multiple tries to match orders to patrons, despite there being on three in the restaurant at the time. The chicken sandwich at $7.50, isn't a deal - although if it was served with exemplary ingredients it could be. And certainly there's room for another good proprietor of Turkish sandwiches in the neighborhood besides the old standby Oasis. This just isn't it. read more

This place looks a little run down but don't let looks fool you. We were supposed to go eat at another nicer establishment nearby but realized everything they had was fried so I dragged my friends here to quickly grab some food so we can head out to our meeting quickly. Wow! My friends and I were so impressed with the food. Portions were generous and there is nothing I love more than foods that come out steaming hot. Everything was freshly made. This is some of the top basic no frills kabobs I've had in NY. I will definitely be back. read more

The chicken sandwich was average, mostly fresh ingredients except for the iceberg lettuce. Nothing worth writing home about about EXCEPT they have the real deal middle eastern hot sauce. I asked for "the good stuff" , it was thick like tomato paste and and so hot without being a health hazard. I may be back on the strength of the hot sauce alone, even if the food was a little pricey for the quality and speed. read more

Thank goodness, a real gyro place!!! I get the jonzings for a good gyro about once a month but there is nothing close to me that's worth while till I found this little gem. Tried it for first time today for lunch. Had gyro fry combo $9. Had euro fries which for me was ketchup mayo kinda dip sauce, tasty! The fries are very reminiscent of Pomme Frite from the East Village which burned down this week. :( Hope they come back soon. The gryo from what I read is a beef/lamb combo, a cucumber sauce, onion, tomato. Very tasty, maybe a tad bit lite on the portion though. That is the kind food that is supposed to be stuffing. With the fry combo it was. Maybe the gyro sandwich along is bigger. Definitely going to be hitting this place again and again. I will sample over time most of the menu, I'll post more feedback then. Thanks Kabob Shack for being where you are. You make me very happy! G read more

Best middle-eastern food in Williamsburg, catered me a dish and was made just how i wanted it. Thank you guys. read more
