Man, kabob-ster was delicious tah-DAY! You hear me? I dunno who was cookin in the back but man! So kabob-ster kind of annoys me because I've had such a variety of experiences there; they haven't been consistent in my experience. Going there is like getting produce at the grocery store: you might get some good stuff, you might not. You're kinda rolling the dice here. But today they did it RIGHT. The baba ghanouj had a nice, smoky eggplant flavor. The falafel in my wrap was cooked just like I like it: crunchy on the outside, seasoned goodness on the inside. The ratio of toppings was on point: not too many pickles, thinly sliced onion instead of huge clunky chunks, handful of shredded lettuce, nice globs of garlic sauce throughout. Every bite was a delight. The Greek salad was also good, although it didn't have any Kalamata olives on it. I'm not sure if their salads ever have it or if they just forgot to put some on mine. Either way, the salad was still vg. If they could just do this ALL the time, I'd be a happy camper. read more

This place has been completely revamped compared to when we first came. We had the Kabobster feast and beef Shawarma plate and separate falafel appetizer order. Everything was delicious. They have a tablet to order and nice and clean eating area. We will be returning. read more

Love this place, but please put less oil and lemon juice in your hummus. Sour oily hummus isn't the best impression. Everything else I tasted there was great and very friendly team. read more

they used to be good but the last 2 times I ordered a cheese pita, there was NO CHEESE. barely any. so basically I'm eating just plain pita bread...... never ordering from here again. I am livid. WASTE OF MONEY read more

Kabob-Ster - Mediterranean Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Kabob-ster has a good Mediterranean menu. Definitely tasting, filling and there are a few sides I have not seen outside of a restaurant. The flat bread is delicious. Usually, you your bread is pits bread but the flat bread is so much better. The decor is bland and it was warm inside. Taking a meal to go would let you enjoy the food without environmental distractions. read more

Kabob-Ster - Mint tea. - Mediterranean Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

We came here on a whim because the pictures online looked really good and I'm a huge fan of Greek salad. It was a Saturday evening when we arrived there were three people waiting for food. They took our order very quickly but it took 45 minutes to get our (2) chicken and rice with salad meals. There was only one guy working the counter and cooking. That alone probably wasn't sanitary. But he was very confused on who ordered what and messed up every order in front of us. The food was cold when it came out and not very big. Pretty disappointed in this place. Next time I'll stick to the similar chain restaurant. read more

Man, I really like this place! I ate lunch here today and it was just so good. And the prices were too! I got the lunch basket where you pick 3 items for about $8.50 after tax. I wanted falafel x2 and hummus and it came with pita. I really wish it had come with more pita, but other than that the flavor was so good! The hummus and the falafel were delish! I will definitely be back to get this again as well as try some other things. It was more than enough food. Oh also - the tahini was great as well! read more

Been going here since the day they opened and still just as good! Their Gyro's are the best I've had in the state and outta state. We are always taking relatives here that visit us for an amazing and filling lunch. Hits all the perfect spots and makes you full in the best ways! Our kids are super picky about food yet always love going to Kabob-ster and they love the gyro meat as well. The fries are with taziki sauce and grab an order of hummus are always a must. read more

Kabob-Ster - Gyro plate with fries and hummus is always a must! - Mediterranean Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The very first time we went here we were blown away. Unfortunately since then our subsequent visits have been just okay. I don't know how to get that original magic back. The first time we got so many amazing pickles, such fresh salad, and everything wasn't loaded with oil. Now we go to grab falafel sandwiches because they are low cost, but they aren't fabulous. I would say Kabobster is now just okay. read more

Kabob-Ster - Falafel Platter, hummus, tabbouleh, falafel, Lebanese pickles, so colorful and delish! - Mediterranean Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I visited this place about a year ago and was very pleased with the food especially the baklava so flaky and good and since I was back in the area felt very confident that this meal would not disappoint however it DID. I ordered the chicken kabob meal with rice and Greek salad. Well I was VERY disappointed at the chicken it was no more than pressed imitation chicken it was not at all like the meal in the past. The rice and salad were okay. Baklava were soggy. read more

The food is always consistent every time that I have been to their restaurant. This is a place you come for good food at a great price. The customer service is always quaint and never bad. They are the best place in Chattanooga to get falafel or a falafel wrap. Previously I've tried a few other places and they compare. read more

Authentic is a word of use for this place. It's small and simple, but it's clean and delicious. I've been here a few times now and have forgotten to check in, but I love his place. It will take about 20 minutes to get your food, but that's because they make it fresh. Well worth the wait! read more

Amazing food! So glad to find middle eastern food here in the southeast. Workers were nice as well

Ordered togo due to Covid-19 so I'll definitely try this place again when I can eat there. I got the lunch special pick three, humus, chicken kabob and falafel. The kabobs were great, the humus was good, but there was very little in the container. The falafel was awful. It was so, so dry and had zero taste. My friend that I went with, that loves this place, swears it's never that bad so I'll go again and try one more time. Just over $8 for all three was a good value! read more

I love this place I go every week, Ahmed is the best, I highly recommend I love halal food .

I wanted to surprise my family with some mediterranean food, so I stopped by to order. the gentleman taking my order was so patient with me and helped with many suggestions . I ended up getting a Kebab sampler with a side of beef Shawarma and hummus with a salad and a chicken shawarma wrap. Oh my. i wasn't disappointed. everything was wonderful. I love the rice and hummus.._ read more

I had dinner here on a Sunday night. It was so delicious! Chicken kabob was fresh and juicy, flavored so well, and delicious. The grape leaves were also delightful! The decor is calming and the service was fantastic. read more

Just not great man. Odd, everything was very odd. Gryro was on a tortilla, not pita. Hummus was almost slimy, just off. read more

Okay so first let me apologize to everyone who loves this place. I'm from Dearborn MI which has the highest concentration of Middle Easterners. My tastebuds must be spoiled my the intricate delicacies available at just about every corner. I understand that with Covid -19 everything is carry out. There needs to be a better drive thru service or close the drive thru and just do walk-in carry out. I ordered Chicken Shawarma 1.2 of 10- The chicken was tough, dry, overcooked, overly salted, drowned in a soupy concoction. The meat wasn't grilled it was obviously boiled in what tasted like turmeric, salt and pepper bath. The lettuce was brown and wilted, the picked turnips were either canned or pickled incorrectly based on the lack of snap and bite. The tomatoes and pickles were good. The pita that the sandwich was wrapped in fell apart due to the amount of sauce that the chicken was in. 5-piece Falafel 1.3 of 10- They were served with garlic sauce and some vegetables for presentation. Visually appealing the flavor just was not there. I'm a fan of overcooking falafel because they get crunchy and delicious and if made properly stay moist on the inside. These were not that. They lacked flavor almost as if they were purchased frozen or were made from a prepackaged mix and over worked. Despite that I attempted to eat them with the garlic sauce. Bad idea, the sauce was bitter and tasted like sour cream. Service 3.2 of of 10- There was a very long wait time and I understand that the drive thru may have been a temporary service but both were very poorly executed. The gentleman who helped via the drive thru was pleasant and helpful and offered menus thru the window to help. Overall score 1.9 of 10 It wasn't the fact the the food wasn't authentic. It was the lack of heart, soul and pride. The chef behind these dishes has lost their way. They've forgotten to love the food they make. My message to the chef is simple, slow down breathe remind yourself of the wonders you're capable of. Bring that life to the table. I would like to try this place again. read more

Fantastic food! Love the falafel wraps! You can tell that each little falafel ball is hand made and filled with authentic Mediterranean flavor and love. read more

Ordered the lunch combo to go. Our drink that was included was just a water cup, no lid to fit. The food wasn't placed in a bag and we didn't receive utensils or napkins. The side salad we got was tiny. Basically a couple pieces of lettuce. The gyro was good and hummus was standard. The shawarma was just ok according to my fiancé. 2 lunch combos were just under $20 total. Not sure if it was worth it. read more

This place is awesome. Thank goodness because it is a fact Chattanooga is abysmal for food esp. affordable "ethnic" food.People are ridiculous who say otherwise. This place actually served some flavor and some heat. It's real food cooked by real people. Hard to come by in Chattanooga. Oh also it's hard to get to and people go out of there way to come here. We live in the food desert of Chattanooga proper--forget those money collection centers in generic Southside (oh Taco Jalisco is good, that's it)--and drive out here. read more

It was a time for my friends -all wonderful school moms-to get together. And I always try to find something special and interesting for us to do and to try. This time I really wanted to introduce my friends to Turkish food. This place is not big. Inside of the restaurant I did not feel the atmosphere of Middle East. The food is not expensive and was cooked fast. It tasted ok but I did not feel like it was home cooked. I may visit again when I will be in the mood for cheap but healthy food. read more

I don't know what happened to Kabob-Ster but it is very disappointing. The food used to be delicious and the service used to be great but both have gone downhill. After several subpar meals my husband and I made the decision not to eat there ever again. read more

This place has a great menu my family is half vegetarian and half not so I googled and decided to go here. I should of kept googling. This was all round bad. The guy that took our order did not want to be there it was obvious he was irritated we were even there. The the gyro meat was so over cooked you couldn't chew it, the hummus was super chunky, and the other sandwiches were falling apart with sogginess. I definitely would not go back and had to re buy my family food again on our way home because everyone threw there's out. read more

I do not know why it has taken me so long come across Kabob-ster. I love Middle Eastern cuisine! And I appreciate the authenticity of this restaurants meals. As you walk-in, the relaxing atmosphere of the restaurant is set up so the customers can have a little visual taste of Morocco and Iraq. (Fun facts, the chefs that are responsible of providing mouth tasting authentic Middle Eastern deliciousness are from Iraq & Morocco) Looking at the menu, Kabob-ster accommodates to almost everyone's dietary needs. From the carnivores to the vegans. Everything is made from scratch AND the ingredients are fresh. Let's start with the bread. If you're like me and love their bread, you would agree that it is quite tasty and fresh. The bread is baked onsite in their tandoor oven. The bread is great for dipping into hummus, baba ganoush, taziki or tahini. The falafel is spiced very well and it's very flavorful, which I love. I am a vegetarian and oftentimes vegan but also can be carnivores once in a blue moon (Yes, it's complicated). At Kabob-ster, I ordered a sampler platter or the "pick 3" and I also got the shaved lamb gyro. (disclaimer: I didn't grow up always being a vegetarian). I will say, the lamb I had here will go down as some of the best I've ever had state side. For dessert, their baklava was quite rich! As I mentioned before, this restaurant, from their simply Middle Eastern decorations to their foods, it's designed to bring a taste of authentic deliciousness. Great culture. Great staffs and from my time there, I did not notice it being too busy or a customer have long wait time. If you're looking for some authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, definitely recommend Kabob-ster. read more

I love Greek/Mediterranean food so I had this place bookmarked for awhile and I found myself in this area with time to kill. It isn't super cheap but you get a lot of food for the money. I got the gyro plate with three sides that automatically comes with naan bread. Yes please. I like hummus but love babaghanouj so I went for that. If you don't know, it is an eggplant dip. You would have no idea that is truly what it is if you haven't had it or made it before. I also got the Greek salad and falafel. The falafel was coated with something that stuck to my fingers so I used a fork after that. Good and crispy and especially good in the sauce. I can't tell what the sauce is, maybe hummus with some other stuff added? Ok I see now they call it tahini sauce which happens to go into hummus. The meat was very tender and more in rectangular strips than the flat strips I am used to. Whatever it is good. Comes with a small container of taziki. Greek salad is a nice romaine salad with tomatoes, olives, cucumbers and what seems like house made feta ladened dressing. I will definitely come back if in the area. I love shawarmas and about everything else on the menu!that I didn't try. read more

So good. So, so good. We got kabobs. Their house cured turnip pickles are amazing. Their yogurt dip, delicious. We had Turkish tea, which was perfect for the chilly rainy day we went. We will absolutely be back -- can't wait to try the rest of their menu. read more

Hands down the best gyro in town. The hummus, and Greek salad were also great. Be sure to add some of their house made hot sauce to your order. I also got to try the beef kabobs (marinated beef tenderloin)and they were tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Two lunch plates with 3 sides total, 2 drinks, and a side of hot sauce for under $20 using the $2 off coupon in Kids First coupon book. read more

I love the variety of options. There was something for me to love, as well as my family - kids included. The vegetarian sampler plate gives a great taste of many tasty selections- I don't even miss the meat. The Baba Ghanouj is my favorite I have tried- very rich flavor. I recommend this place for treating yourself! If you have the Hamilton County Coupon book they have a multi use coupon as well. read more

Zabiha halal! This is one of the very few locations that's zabiha in this area. I loved the food and so did all my friends. The gyros was delicious make sure you ask for extra tziki sauce! The appetizers were just okay. They have a glass you can look through into the kitchen in case you want to check if everything is sanitary. The inside is simple, nothing too fancy. This is not close to the downtown area so you have to make a short drive. But it's worth it! read more

Good Mediterranean food with good flavor. The menu has a lot of good choices. The prices are good.

While some of our favorite restaurants have restricted their menus during the pandemic (and that's understandable) and have also had quality issues even so, it's wonderful that Kabobster doesn't seem to have restricted their menu - and their quality has remained outstanding! We've had the Gyro platter, the Kufta platter, the Shawarma platter, and various side items like the Stuffed Grape Leaves (which I especially enjoy because they are not vinegary like most other places, but rather savory). All have been exceptional. Highly recommended. read more

Unfortunately like many of these one star comments I have had a similar experience. The staff was rude and inattentive and the food was subpar. I hope this establishment improves. read more

We just moved here. Last night was thanksgiving, and we drank a little much. So now this morning we got the hangover munchies. I ran into this place. They were closed, but the guy working came to the door and talked with me. I returned when they opened, and got a few gyros, a schwarma, and some other tasty meat treats I've never had before. It was all wonderful. Well seasoned, and plenty of extra tzatziki!! Will be back. I feel a 4 star is very good. read more

I love this place! Staff has always been great. I love their grape leaves and baba ghanouj.
