The chicken, beef and lule is just different here. I don't know what their secret is but there's something weird happening in the kitchen because the meat is so juicy and flavorful. It's one of my favorite restaurants. read more

I can't explain to anyone how tasty and delicious the food is , if you love home style dishes that makes your mouth water every time then this is your place to try ! First off the atmosphere is cozy and very clean , the employees are very friendly and welcoming and then comes my favorite part the simple menu to choose from that each and every dish will keep you very happy and satisfied. They always bring out a fresh complimentary tasty plate of homemade pickles and cabbage and beets for every table ! My favorite here is the fish which is off the menu but omg if you love fried fish ask for the branzino , it's so good! . One more thing please don't forget to put in an order of the ashta dessert , it's a cold clotted cream dessert with seasonal berries and crushed pistachios with this amazing orange blossom honey syrup that you pour over it... mmmmm just thinking about this restaurant puts the biggest smile on my face :))). Please just go give this place a try and see what I mean . read more

I decided to give Kebob Helebi a try for take-out over the weekend. The restaurant is located inside a strip lot on corner of Sherman Way/Sepulveda Blvd. The dining area is divided into two small sections. Red draperies, maple tables, cushioned seating, overhanging sconces, wood beams ceilings give it a cozy and modern feel. I walked in the door and wasn't greeted. I sought for a friendly and welcoming face. Instead, I had to make the first verbal contact. I told the gentleman behind the counter that I was ordering to go and he looked at me with odd look of surprise expecting me to dine in. My order was finally taken, deciding on the chicken breast kabob and beef kabob plate. Both modestly priced at $15 each. It was ready in reasonable time and portions were ample. The rice was packed in separate containers. Grilled tomatoes, seasoned onions, pickled cucumber, cabbage and pita bread was included with my meal. All were average, not that bad. Both the chicken and meat were tender and flavorful. The garlic sauce that accompanied it was a nice compliment. My one main critique was that their rice wasn't basmati, but instead was rice pilaf (aka Uncle Bens). I actually prefer basmati for its delicious flavor, fluffier texture and sensuous aroma. A main staple in most Middle Eastern cuisine. It had hint taste of coconut which I thought was odd. I guess overall I was expecting a little more with all the positive reviews. The food was fine, but nothing amazing. Parking - shared with other business and restaurants, challenging during lunch/dinner rush hour. read more

Kebab Halebi - Beef kabob plate - $15 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Best place to eat! Not one menu item that's not worth trying simply amazing ohh ask for toasted bread!

I don't recommend this restaurant their prices is very very expensive and it does not worth eating in this restaurant you feel about the price it's like five star restaurant in it is only half a star restaurant if they don't have any customers they let you in and if they have a lot of customers they say to you you'll have to make a reservation if there is a zero star I will give it to them read more

Kebab kebab kebab! If you haven't notice the word of the day is Kebab. Kebab Halebi makes one of the best juiciest kebabs I've had in a very long time. The resturant is situated in a small plaza/ strip mall on Sherman way just a few steps from Sepulveda Blvd. The parking is congested but manageable. The resturant is clean and has plenty of seating for dine in. The menu is very straight forward with chicken of beef kebab and lule. There is also a lunch menu that I would recommend going with if your in the area between 11- 3pm. The chicken kebab is served with rice pilaf or choice of hummus. The chicken kebab is really cooked tenderly and keeps lots of juiciness in each bite; Same goes for the beef kebab. I tend to go for the lule just because I like the way it's prepared with different spices and ground beef mixed to give you a delicious skewer with great taste. The services is great especially with Janet; she's very attentive and you don't have to chase down your waiter at all. If you are in the vicinity I would recommend giving Kebab Halebi a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

This place was great. I opted to get the most expensive thing on the menu (The Eggplant Kebab) and it was really good. I don't know if I would get it again based on the fact it was over $20 - but still - it was good. I also got a nut based spread - Mouhamara Dip. It was sweet yet subtle. A very enjoyable experience. I will come back here. read more

Our family tried this restaurant based off reviews over the weekend and the food and experience overall was horrible, overpriced and customer service was lousy. We ordered a few items from the menu and the two dishes that were the worst out of all of the items that we had ordered was the Chikufte and Lule Kebabab, which both were garbage and waste of our money. I definitely would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Please do yourself a favor, save your money and go to another Middle Eastern Restaurant. read more

Discovered this place recently from a coworker. Really enjoyed the food so I brought my mom who also really enjoyed the food. The only drawback is that we were the only table so we were ignored the whole time. We just had our waitress come to our table and take our order and then later on bring our food. We didn't have anyone check on us or ask if we needed anything. I had to make my way to the servers twice to ask to order a side dish and for more water. Aside from the funky service, the food is amazing! Definitely worth trying! Only giving 4 stars due to the lack of service we encountered today. read more

Been craving this place for weeks now. Went last Monday only to realized they are closed on Monday. So we finally went today. Dinner was pretty good. I got the half chicken and half beef. A few pieces of my chicken was a little dry. My friend ordered half chicken and half lamb. We paid $18 per plate and total came out to exactly $41. So, I looked at the bill and said to my friend "are you sure?" "With tax and eveything it came out exactly $41?" Then, I see a "non cash adj fee." I questioned what that was and the waitress kept saying, "oh I can give you a discount if you have cash." I said, "no I didn't ask you that, I asked you why did you charge me extra without my knowing?" She then said, "it's okay I'll give you $2 back." I'm okay with people charging a credit card fee. BUT you have to disclose it to the customers. It's really fishy to me that this fee was $1.58 making the total exactly $41 with tax. I don't know if I even want to come back anymore. That's pretty shady. read more

SO GOOD! I had never tried Middle Eastern food so I had no idea what I was coming in for. Ordered the beef and chicken shish kebab, rice and hummus. It was so good! My friend is pretty picky but once she had a tase of the falafel, she went all in! I WOULD SOO COME BACK HERE! Service 10/10. Food 10/10 Tip: The servings are big ! and be careful with the pita bread, it will fill you up. :) read more

Delicious! A hidden gem. They are always consistent and food is always fresh. Thank you!

Tried this place after seeing a youtube video saying this was one of the best mediterranean places to eat. First, parking is terrible. The restaurant is really clean, was greeted by a really nice, friendly older lady. Service was slow (for three tables that hadnt been serviced) Was very disappointed because their luleh kebabs, although they tasted delicious, were very small. Was expecting a min 10x1x1 inch long luleh but instead got two-6"x1"x1/2" luleh. Thats very small (like lady fingers) compared to the ones we usually get from kebab station, massis, zankou or knights at burbank. The rice was also disappointing because it was plain white rice drenched in butter instead of basmati. You'll get more for your money elsewhere, nothing special here. read more

This place is awesome!!! So much food, price is great and service is the best!!! Love this place...

By far one of the best kebab spots in the valley! Everything is delicious. One thing that a lot of other Mediterranean restaurants fail to pay attention to is the rice... a lot of them are bland. I'd have to say Kebab Halebi has some of the best rice I've ever had! read more

I googled this business and noticed that my brother-in-law had left a great yelp review. I called him up and he told me it was one of the best food he has ever tried. I went yesterday and had their lunch special which was only around $12, and I must say it is one of the best food I've ever had as well as for a great price for a lot of food!Andrew my server was nice ,kind ,polite ,professional ,attentive and awesome! I'm thinking about going back today for a second day in a row! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone and I will definitely be taking all of my friends and family there! To the owners :please don't change a thing ,that is why I'm telling everybody about your awesome business!! You're doing everything the right way! read more

Hit and miss place. Sometimes the lamb is all 90% meat and juicy, and sometimes it's 60% fat/gristle and 40% meat. I bring this up because this really is a nice restaurant with GREAT food but I believe they sometimes give customers ANYTHING to fulfill the order. Sometimes I rate this place a 5 stars, but sometimes 1 star because of what I mentioned. I would rather eat at the adjacent shopping center at Fresh Mediterranean Grill where they are 100% spot on all the time. Too bad I can't give this place 5 stars because the rice is UNBELIEVABLE ! read more

Halebi Kebobs are always amazing. I have been having coco s Kebobs for years never fails to impress. Adana odd outstanding... chicken Kebobs yum yum yum!! Highly recommended for any Kebob lover read more

Excellent authentic Syrian/Middle Eastern food. The Lamb Kababs and Arayes are amazing. The Salad reminded me of my mom's salad growing up. Highly recommended can't go wrong read more

I will start off by saying that I find it a little pricey, nothing crazy, but I will continue to order from this place for as long as I live in Van Nuys. The quality of the food is absolutely delicious. The meats all have an amazing flavour, never dry, and not oversalted, oily, or overseasoned. I've had the steak....AMAZING. I've had the luleh kebab, chicken, adana kebab, chicken thigh. All incredibly delicious and flavourful. I love their armenian salad....yum. Not to mention their service is wonderful. They are always friendly, attentive, and wonderful. By now...they know my face there. I've only had take away, but everything always arrives very fast and hot. Their rice pilaf is fantastic, so are the wraps-generously portioned. I ordered lunch for my job one day and I couldn't believe it barely took any time to make everything ready. It was sooo much food for just 8 of us, we wound up having everything in party trays.....my coworkers loved it so much everything was surprisingly gone. Everyone had 2nds and thirds. I will continue to order from here. read more

Horrible experience. 1) It took them 15 minutes to take our order 2) We had to ask THREE different servers where our order was, just to find out that the kitchen LOST our order ticket 3) When they told us they lost our ticket, they told us they would prioritize our order - 10 minutes later nothing By this point, we were already 45 minutes in. Update: We went back the next day since the manager/owner reached out and apologized. It was a very pleasant experience. The food is amazing and you MUST try the garlic sauce! We WILL be back! read more

After reading about the Syrian food here, we decided to try this place for dinner. The waitress was extremely kind to us and made sure we were doing well. We had the mouhamara dip, ras nana patty, and the ashta custard. Surprisingly, our favorite part of the meal was the mouhamara dip, which was made of red peppers, crushed wheat, pomegranate, cumin, walnut, and pine nuts. It had a little kick and was fairly rich. Though, the pita bread seemed very average. While I did like the ras nana because it had some crispy charred outsides and was a very large patty, the pool of juice it was served in was really sour. However, the sour juice helped ease the lamb flavor. Plus, the dish was served was some really buttery delicious rice. The biggest disappointment was the ashta custard. It looked great and the fruits and honey helped, but the white custard itself was bland. It wasn't sweet or flavorful at all, and it wasn't as creamy as you'd expect a custard to be. Overall, the food was pretty good and our waitress was great, but I wasn't a huge fan of what we had. read more

Amazing food, everything is made fresh to order! Their beef kebabs are superior and the side are delicious too.

If you haven't tried Kebab Halebi yet, you're truly missing out on a hidden gem in Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. This place is amazing. 6 stars if I could. Everything is so fresh. The hummus is amazing! I usually order the Beef Kule and it's perfectly cooked and seasoned each time. My partner usually orders the chicken kebabs and they're so tender and seasoned perfectly as well. Kebab Halebi needs more recognition! If you haven't tried this restaurant, you're missing out on life! read more

Great food. Great service. The rice and meat can't be replicated. The lunch special will fill you

Food is amazing here this is the closest food you'll eat in America that's Syria food ill always eat here

This is the second and last time I will be coming to this restaurant. Both time I came here I was overcharged for using my credit card. When I questioned the extra charge I was told by the cashier "everyone is doing it". So if everyone is stealing it is OK to steal. read more

The best tasting food in California. I have been coming here for many years . The chef and service is the best. Try the Shish beef or lamb kebabs and leave some room for desert. read more

Amazing. Stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. To start off the service was great. All of the staff were friendly and continuously checked on me. I was unsure of what side to get and they offered me a small taste to know for next time. What I thought was going to be a small amount in a bowl was instead a full plate to try. Quite impressed. The lunch special had a big portion. Come hungry. A lot of places I go to have smaller portions for the lunch special so I wasnt expecting a lot of food. With the sides and main dish I was stuffed by the time I finished my meal. Everything was well seasoned and fresh. You could definitely taste the freshness in the food. Thank you for such a great meal. I will be coming back read more

This place is great! Service is friendly ( which if you guus read my reviews, you know customer service is huge for me and I always acknowledge it). Let me first say, that I don't normally eat middle eastern food but I have to say that the food here has made me- change my ways, if you will. If I am craving middle eastern food, I will only come here. I can't pronounce anything on the menu but I order the ground beef/lamb kebab and it's delicious. The hummus here is great too! I don't feel like you can go wrong with the menu at this restaurant and I'm looking forward to coming back to try more read more

Best. I think this is very good Syrian food. Looking forward to getting to sit down and dine at this location. Ambience looked fancy but also casual. Takeout was ready so much faster than expected. read more
