    Kabobi is located on the right side of the Crabtree mall food court. They have a good variety of middle eastern dishes. I tried the chicken and had tabouli with it and some good sweet tea. I love the flavor and tenderness of the chicken, but would not get the tabouli again, it was just ok. I am not a fan of eating in a food court, as it is somewhat noisy and sometimes dirty tables, but it was worth it for the good chicken. Very nice people there, good prices and fast service. I will return!!

    I enjoyed my meal at Kabobi today. I'm thankful that they are in the food court for those who are following a special diet or Halal. With so many fried and overly processed foods in abundance, you can rely on Kabobi for a affordable wholesome meal. The reason many people choose unhealthy food, is because of the cheaper price, however, you will pay in poor health. I enjoyed the customer service from the manager. He discussed the vegetarian options with me. I decided on the chick peas, spinach and lentil Biriyani rice. Biriyani is a long grain rice that is very delicious with the lentils added. My daughter really enjoyed this on my plate and ate all of it. You must try it. I also tried the Tabbouleh and enjoyed that with my meal. Everything was cooked just right and I was very satisfied. Thank you Kabobi. I will try the falafel and lamb kabob next time.

    I'm not the big connoisseur of mall food and I usually steer away from it. However, I grabbed lunch at Kabobi last week and it was really good! I'm a bit of a fan of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food which, at times, is hard to come by in Raleigh. But that's changing thankfully. This place is set up like a lunch counter. I went with the Kabobi sampler. The meats were well seasoned. The steak bites were a little overdone but I imagine they cook it well because most people like it that way. It was fine. The vegetables and salad were fresh. And, the service was friendly. I'll definitely be back when I'm at the Crabtree Valley Mall.

    Really good collection of Kababs. Amazing taste and fast service. What more do you want? Halal.

    The hummus, stuffed grape leaves and baklava were good. However, the spicy chicken kabobi did not even taste like meat. It was really bad and was thrown away. The tzatziki sauce was very runny and tasted off. It was not a good deal for the money and left me very disappointed. I will not be going back.

    Beef kebab and sweet rice
    Jess M.

    Really good and fresh, especially for mall food court! The kebabs are also very juicy and flavorful. I had the beef kebab wrap---- veggies make it pop---- and the sweet rice (oddly good too!). My hubby got the 2 kebab special w the lentil rice (very tasty). This is a fantastic option for a food court. Very friendly staff w masks, gloves, and sanitizer.

    Lambs and chicken kabobs with a sweet rice, creamed spinach and cabbage.

    Delicious Mediterranean food. The lamb and chicken kabobs were amazing. My first time eating there and would like to visit again.

    This is a Chicken Kabob Platter with Okra, Chickpeas & Green Beans, and some very strange bread.

    We found it interesting that the food court at Crabtree Valley Mall would have two such similar spots as Kabobi and Hector's. It gave us a chance to have a head to head eat off between the two - at least on several items - or 4, really. The Chicken Kabob was one item - and the kabob here is good, just not as good as Hector's. There was no nice grill exterior crust on the chicken, and there was a yellow tint to the meat, but no supporting flavor aspect - Turmeric? The Grape Leaves were also a strong tilt to Hector's. The ones here had a nice mint taste, but the texture was soft and mushy. The "bread" here was thin, hard, and tasteless - like hardtack - not really sure what it was, but I didn't care for it, and no way you could ever wrap it around anything. The Tzatziki was a closer contest, but though neither was stellar, Hector's was a little thicker, a little more flavorful. The sides here , Okra (steamed or braised) was not memorable, and the other, Chickpeas & Green Beans, was at best an interesting set of items, but no less bland for the uniqueness of the combination. Game. Set, Match - Hector's. .

    Lamb shank

    Seriously so good! My husband and I are incredibly shocked that there's such good food at a mall food court. We got the lamb kabob for lunch and liked it so much that we went back for the lamb shank and curry chicken for dinner. For sides, we had the raisin rice, the chickpeas, and the cucumber salad and everything was delicious! Real food that is home cooked with no MSGs or other fake ingredients. The pricing is super reasonable and the owners are so sweet. Highly, highly recommend!!

    Stayed at the Marriott and walked over. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was for being a food court restaurant. Great food!

    Tasteful, filling, quick and the service is great. I always stop in here when I go to Crabtree. They have some of the best Lebanese food I've ever had! Get the chicken kabob with sweet rice and Greek salad.

    Sultani Kabab platter with koobideh and spicy chicken kabab
    Taohid L.

    I had the sultani kabab platter which includes, rice, onions, grilled tomato, koobideh and chicken or beef kabab. The koobideh was a delicious package of delicious minced lamb. I tried both spicy chicken (minced chicken Kabab) and chicken Kabab (succulent pieces of tender chicken) and I would the latter over the former. This is probably the best place for food in the Crabtree Valley Mall.

    Their falafel wrap and fries are great! My total was $8 (no drink) and it was a nice portion.

We went with the plof and manti. The atmosphere in the restaurant had great holiday decorations amd was very cozy.

We had let the staff know ahead of time how many were in our party and I can't say enough good things about how well-prepared they were. We were sat quickly, got our waters and drinks, and they did everything in their power to get our food out as quickly as possible. They did not stop moving the entire two hours we were there. The staff at this place is absolutely amazing. Now, onto the food. They have both an Italian and Uzbek menu. I got the garlic knots, a side salad, and the steak kabobs, and my partner got a side salad and the lasagna. We both were very happy with our food. I really love the garlic knots here. In total we paid a little over $50, which included tip. An amazing experience beginning to end.

The chicken shish kabob and lamb kabob were both flavorful and cooked well. Those were definitely the highlights of the meal. The disappointing part was that they were already out of the Doner plate by 2:30 p.m., even though we came for dinner service. It was frustrating because that's one of the main dishes people go there for. What really stopped me from giving this place a higher rating was the condition of the men's bathroom. It was pretty gross, with visible mold and a wet towel on the floor that looked like it was there because of a leaking toilet. A lot of people say the bathroom reflects how clean the restaurant is overall, and honestly that crossed my mind while eating there. The food and service were good, but the restaurant really needs to improve the cleanliness and do a better job keeping popular menu items available.
