This is the type of place you call when you land near LAX. My goodness is that chicken koobideh delicious, and the garlic or mild sauce to top it off WOW! A+ read more

Kebab Bar - Chicken koobideh with garlic sauce and yogurt cucumber - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

They have an all-day lunch special, so I always get the koobideh with a large side of tzatziki and that's perfect! The rice is nice and fluffy and flavorful. Beef is so juicy and tender and the tomato is always well done which is nice because alot of places undercook it. There's a kid with glasses at the counter who's very pleasant and pays attention to detail. Otherwise on to-go orders I have to check if a sauce or seasonings packet didn't make it into the bag. I hope they stick around because they're the only good value mediterranean joint for miles. read more

Got the Chicken Kebab Plate with Shirazi Salad as my side and the Lentil Soup Overall, not bad. The chicken had good flavor and tasted better after using the lemons that were provided. The rice was properly cooked. The salad had a nice acidity. The soup was very flavorful and actually had a little bit of heat. Service was very friendly and prompt. No issues on parking since KB is located in a big shopping center. I believe there's a surcharge on using a credit card. read more

Not sure what all the 5 star reviews are about. I have been to this place dozens of times in the last few years (used to enjoy flame broiler in the same location before this place opened up) and it was always just alright, the kind of thing I get for a quick dinner. The food was always decent (not great, not bad) and the service/price were similar - just OK value. That all changed a few days ago. I went there and ordered the koobideh plate and asked for an extra tomato as I have dozens of times before, she said we could definitely get you the extra tomato and mentions nothing about a $1.03 extra charge.. I get there, pay and she says its cheaper to pay cash than debit (scummy, shady) - and I hand her $35 for my $31.81 bill (not cheap for dinner) - she hands me back $3.15 and says they are "out of pennies" so she's going to short change me 4 cents instead of them eating the penny and giving me $3.20. I asked about the charge for the tomato and she laughed and said "inflation" Finally, the chicken was terrible. I was only able to eat half of it the rest went in the trash. Pita cafe down the street on manchester (5 minutes away) is a far better value and they won't screw their customers just because they are short on change. I'm including a picture of the receipt - and a receipt for ralphs where they ROUNDED UP the change they gave the customer (the opposite of what they did at the kebab bar) I hope the 4 cents (and $1.03 for the tomato) were worth it because I surely won't be back. I recommend anyone looking for this type of food to just go to Gino Pars or Pita Cafe, both far better options. read more

Kebab Bar - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of my top 5 restaurants of all time. And I do not say that lightly. Their chicken kabobs are the most juicy, flavorful chicken breasts I've ever had. The food is always consistent which is a huge factor for me being a repeat customer. The cashier at the front counter is also always so kind and welcoming. I've only gone three times now and she already memorized my order While the dining area is small, it's still nicely decorated and above all CLEAN! Every time I've been there, someone immediately comes to clean up after a guest leaves. I'll definitely be a regular here because I can't get enough of these delicious kabobs! read more

Love this place. In the he back of a shopping center in Westchester and one of the tastiest and fresh kabobs you can get in LA. Don't let the location fool you. Chicken kabob has a great spice profile. Not spicy, but whatever their marinade is I love it. Sides are good and the people are very nice. Try it you'll love it. You know it's great when everyone you tell comes back and says wow really good and tender. read more

Kebab Bar - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

3 years later, back and very different review! Got the salmon lunch kabob. $20 for about 5oz of salmon, a ton of rice, an entire tomato and pita bread if you want it (I didn't.) the salmon was grilled perfectly tender flavorful and a little charred in a good way. The rice was warm, mostly moist and flavorful. The tomato was grilled and hard but I like mine this way vs overly ripe. It's a little pricey but isn't everything these days. I'm sure this location rent isn't cheap. A good quick and more healthy than not meal. Nice people good service quiet setting easy to sit and eat or work and very easy parking. I'll for sure be back for that quick Mediterranean fix! read more

The food is fantastic! The service is excellent and can't beat the value. This is a great place for a healthy and tasty lunch.

Stopped by while was waiting my friend flight. Very clean, cashier was friendly and food was amazing. I got beef wrap- it was conveniently packed and very delicious read more

I stopped by for a quick meal before heading over to LAX to pick up a family member. I ordered the Chicken Kebab Wrap for 14 bucks and sat and waited for my food for dine in. The wrap was a good size which came with pepperoncinis. It had a good amount of chicken pieces and lots of vegetables but it was lacking some flavor, maybe adding hummus or garlic sauce would do the trick. read more

A solid 4. The chicken koobideh was good. You get 2 skewers with your plate. The chicken kebab was good but you only get one skewer. The humus was decent, nothing special. Here's the highlight for me:The rice. I really enjoyed the rice. The saffron flavoring was pretty damn good. Just some context. There are a lot Mediterranean places out there to choose from. When in the mood, we like to try to find the best spot to have as a go-to. I found Kebab Bar on Yelp. We finally decided to give it a shot, as it's close to work and accessible. It definitely didn't let us down and earned a repeat "visit,". Let's see if it keeps moving on in our unofficial but official-soundibg Mediterranean restaurant rankings. I think that might be a run-on sentence. Aw well ha ha Final Word: It's all about that rice, tho. read more

Very disappointing. We ordered takeout- two combo plates each with chicken and beef koobideh. Overcooked is an understatement. A knife barely cut through the meat that should have been juicy. Poor excuse for pita. Wasted $52. Needless to say, we won't be returning. read more

I can't believe I finished the entire plate! This must have been a good 2 lbs of rice, koobideh and all the fixings. The true definition of "Don't judge a book by its cover" because the food was spectacular. Mos def my go-to when I'm by LAX. read more

The salmon wrap was delicious! The salmon was cooked perfectly, moist and flavorful. They no longer have garlic fries but offered a garlic sauce with my fries that was also tasty! read more

Just landed into LAX or want some great Mediterranean food before you get hit with the LAX security madness, or just are hungry for well made super moist kebabs? Got to the Kebab Bar. I know, sounds like I work for them but I don't. We were hungry after landing and wanted something non-chain and non-basic. Found Kebab bar on Yelp and it was awesome. A little hard to find (have to turn off Sepulvida into a parking lot - TG for the Kebab sign on Sepulvida or we would have missed it). Worth the trip Call outs: The chicken was SUPER MOIST, like probably the best I have had. Also the portions were large, took half of what we ordered back to our hotel. Mediterranean rice was awesome and the Service was stellar. The woman that took our order and delivered to our table was so nice and looked like she really enjoyed what she was doing and the customers. Very reasonably priced. Suggestions: The main suggestion I have for them is to get better pita bread. The bread was flat and kind of dry - maybe spend a little more on fluffier and more moist bread and charge $1.00 more. That one change would make this a "5" rating. Definitely hit Kebab Bar read more

We enjoyed our take out dinner from here. Food has Persian influences but Middle East menu for the most part. The person working the grill deserves a raise - perfectly grilled kebabs! The cherry rice (albaloo polo?) was a nice upscaling of usual rice at most places. It's primarily geared for takeout - seating inside is limited - a couple of tables - so plan on takeout. A special mention of utter kindness: we ordered online. The person ordering didn't realize that the order was being made to their La Brea location which is at least 40 minutes away. The young lady behind the counter basically said not to worry, duplicated our mislaid order and it was ready in 10 minutes. Thanked/apologized profusely and tipped generously - well deserved. read more

Really good kebab spot. Food came out fresh and fast, and Turkish girl was super nice and helpful. Great service and good vibes

Today, our travels took us to Los Angela's. Walkkgn around killing g time before our flight, we came across Kebab Bar. Small, but tasty side establishment. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Many different kabobs that include chicken, beef, lamb, Cornish chicken, wraps, etc are offered. We got the combo plate with beef and chicken. We also got a side of eggplant spread and hummus. They came with very light pita bread that was amazingly light and crisp. My better half really liked the eggplant spread. The meat of the eggplant gave it a creamy consistency. The hummus was good...typical hummus. The chicken and beef were fantastic! Both burst with spices and flavors. They were so tender you could easily cut the meat with a fork. Very very tender! Overall, the place may not look like much, but they sure can cook. This Iranian influenced restaurant makes the perfect kabobs! They are slightly pricey but normal for California. If you are nearby, you need to check these guys ouy! read more

Kebab bar is an alright choice! Food was great, their customer service was awesome, and the place was clean and cozy. I just hoped the pricing of their dishes could be lower! Each plate of chicken koobideh cost us $22. The Food: - Chicken Koobideh (9/10): The chicken was seasoned to perfection, it was tender and juicy (dry meat is the worst) ! They were very generous with the rice portion. Also, I liked how they cooked their rice, they weren't soggy and had a great aroma to them! The naan was alright, it was pretty bland (but maybe they were meant to taste different from Indian naans. - Beef Koobideh (7.5/10): I thought their beef was not as flavorful as compared to their chicken koobideh. The beef felt like they were under-seasoned. Overall, if you are craving for kebabs and ran out of options to go to, this place might be worth a try! I just wish they weren't this expensive (give us less rice if you need to, but $22 for a plate of kebabs might be a little too expensive for me). read more

Why have abs when you can have KEBABS? I'm always looking for a new Mediterranean place to try, and @kebabbarlax is definitely a hidden gem that serves HUGE plates of authentic Persian and Mediterranean dishes that are carefully curated from 80 year old, multigenerational family recipes. Everything on their menu is reasonably priced at $20 or less, and I would definitely recommend checking them out for their generous and affordable portions, high quality ingredients, and dedication to preserving the authenticity of traditional Iranian flavors. Definitely check them out if you're in the LAX area, and support a small, family and immigrant-owned restaurant!

I feel like I've been duped. I've been to this place before, but nothing is the same. All the employees are new and the food is not close to what it used to be. They must have changed ownership or just decided to save money on their ingredients. I ordered the Soltani Plate, Beef Koobideh plate, falafel, and Greek salad. The gyro used to be sliced from a spit and some edges were crisp from the heating element. Now they use pre-sliced strips that looks like bologna meat. The texture is mushy. The last time I saw a gyro like this was at a lunch truck and they charged $5 for this crappy meat. The Koobideh is no longer hand made. Their meat is now machine formed and there is a stripe of meat along the side where the mold encased the meat. The texture is now closer to hot dog than fresh ground meat. They charged $20 for this. I'm sure their cost was closer to $2, if that. By the time we got back home 10 miles away, we ended up only taking a few bites of each. If I lived closer I'd be tempted to go back for a refund. read more

Located on Sepulveda by LAX, this place has the yummiest Mediterranean food! You can tell they use the freshest ingredients. The beef koobideh was my favorite! The beef was so tender and so juicy. The flavors really popped and I loved how it paired with the basmati rice. I loved the charbroiled flavor of the chicken kebab and the cucumber yogurt was so fresh! Everything was a winner and so delicious! The prices are a bit pricey in my opinion but definitely worth the treat. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot in the back and street parking in front! read more

I usually save five stars for exceptional restaurants. This is one of those restaurants. Not because the food is out of this world fantastic. It's not. But it is pretty tasty. Not because it is some great venue. It's not. It's a very basic space that the owner has done a very responsible job on. What it has going for it besides pretty good food at what today is a reasonable price. It's got an owner who really cares. He thinks of all the little things. I got my go to Persian meal. Barg. Have I had better? Sure, at twice the price. Add on a skewer of Kubideh. Also good. With a plate you get a kabab, salad, pita, rice and a side. I chose the hummus. Also very good. Here's where the five stars comes in. I got it to go. How many times have you got home and had something missing or the food was cold? Not here. Yes, it was packed in your standard eco friendly clamshell. Sitting on a bed of saffron rice was the meat. Still hot and wrapped in foil with the pita on top. Then in individual containers were the salad, dressing, a nice vinaigrette and the hummus. I also asked utensils. The real surprise was not tue plastic with napkins and your standard salt and pepper packets. There was a container with some sumac in it. WTF. How thoughtful. This place goes above and beyond. That's why the five stars. I wish more places were as thoughtful. read more

This place is like a hidden gem in a parking lot near LAX. The food here is top-notch, I mean serious good stuff!! I tried the Lamb shish kebab and chicken kebab.

It really boils down to the good food here, hummus and the garlic sauce are a must to have. read more

I pass by this place frequently but seriously never paid much attention it. I guess I should pay better attention to my surroundings sometimes. Kebab Bar came on my radar on Yelp and I was curious to try it. I did a Doordash pick up order and it was ready by the time I got there after work. I ordered the dolma/grape leaves, beef koobideh plate, chicken kebab plate, and the shish kebab plate. The plates come with basmati rice, pita bread, and a choice of cucumber yogurt, salad, or hummus. I chose hummus and the cucumber yogurt. Overall, I think the meats needed more seasoning. I had some leftover Zankou garlic sauce that made it better. The tomato on each plate was very burnt. The bell peppers and onions on the shish kebab were also kind of burnt. For the rather high prices, I expect edible non-charred food where I don't have to peel off the burned parts. read more

This is a very tiny restaurant, takeout place behind Sepulveda and La Tijera. It is directly east of kohls. There is seating for a dozen people at the most. You walk up to the counter place your order and then in 10 or 15 minutes it's ready. The food here is quite good. It's really great for takeout especially if you have a large group to feed. I want to give them 3 1/2 stars but yelp doesn't do half stars yet. Maybe that's something they could work on. read more
