Food is good, service was okay, speed was disappointingly slow…read more I get that these places make their food to order so I expected a wait, but they have the word "express" in their business name so I had a false expectation. Needless to say I sat there waiting for my two to-go orders for what felt like an eternity. A lot of people flowed in after me and they were all just waiting, it was weird since it was empty when I walked in and then seeing 6 tables of people with no food. I thought I ordered the cheaper lunch special of chicken koobideh and beef koobideh, but he punched in the full portion instead. I didn't really mind as it just became extra food for dinner. But I feel like if someone is going in at the beginning of lunch time, they would be looking to order lunch menu stuff? I guess I can't expect people to do what I my logic would do. The two koobidehs is pretty much the same thing I order at any of these places because I prefer ground meat that's tender and juicy and this place did not disappoint. They were cooked to perfections with just a little crisp on the meats. Not much else to say since I only had a basic meal....meals

We had it to go, so I can't speak much about the dine-in experience, but I will say the service…read morewasn't the friendliest. We ordered the combo beef and chicken plate, the beef gyro plate, and two falafel on the side. The falafel didn't look impressive, but they were surprisingly excellent--moist, flavorful, and honestly better than Sababa's. I'll definitely order six next time. The gyro plate was solid, not overly greasy or heavy, and the seasoning was just right. I wasn't a fan of the hummus, which had a bitter aftertaste, but my partner liked the tanginess, so that may come down to personal preference. On the combo plate, the chicken stood out: juicy and tender. The beef seemed to be a leaner cut and was a bit dry. I'd probably skip this particular beef kebab next time and try a different one. The saffron rice and grilled tomato were a nice complement. The plate also came with jumbo naan, served warm and smelling amazing, definitely a highlight.

Excellent Mediterranean chain that has recently become my new staple for work lunch. I usually get…read morethe grilled chicken shawarma wrap - either the San Diego or Caesar Crunch depending on my mood. The wraps are comically large (in a good way) - literally as big as my forearm with proof below All the sauces are uniquely addicting and perfectly balanced. Every ingredient tastes fresh and well-seasoned. Service is always friendly and the shop is perfectly set up for a quick bite. Highly recommend TKS!

Good food, but the packaging and presentation seriously need improvement. It looked NOTHING like…read morethe Yelp photos! My container was leaking, the lid wasn't secured properly, and the food almost spilled everywhere. As for the presentation... honestly, it looked like dog food. Not very appetizing to look at, but once you put it in your mouth--mighty tasty! So if you can get past the sloppy-looking presentation, the food itself is actually really good. Just don't expect it to look anything like the photos!

Kabob Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat with my family! I've been coming here for years…read morebecause their food has the best flavor, the customer service is always great, and everything is consistently fresh. I always order either the Lamb Rack Kabob Plate or the Chicken Shish Kabob Plate. What I love most about their food is the flavor and how the meat is always juicy and never dry like at other restaurants. Their food tastes just as good in-store as it does to-go, so I frequently order both! Their plates also come with salad dressing, tzatziki and garlic sauce. I especially love the garlic sauce because it adds an extra kick without an overwhelming garlic flavor. I always look forward to my food from Kabob Cafe, but I also really look forward to seeing the family owners, Sid and his son, Iman! They're both so nice and welcoming and always make sure my family's order is prepared exactly how we like it. I usually order my plate with all rice and no salad, and they never miss a detail, which I really appreciate. The combination of consistently delicious food and genuinely friendly service is what keeps me coming back to Kabob Cafe every week!

I tried the Istanbul Bowl and Doner Kebab Rice Plate, and both taste great. However, at the other location, they usually ask if I want extra toppings and never charge me for them. Today, I was charged $0.50 for each topping, even though they only added a very small amount of each. I don't mind paying for toppings, but charging for such a small portion felt unnecessary. Also, there was a really bad smell coming from the drink machines, which was unpleasant and made me wonder how often they're cleaned.

I've thought long about posting a review or…read morenot, as our experience was so out of the ordinary that I doubt it will be replicated for most, but I think it needs to be done. When we arrived, we were the only people in the shop. The owner was extremely friendly and started a long and fun conversation about pro football ("soccer") and his sons' team and their games. He gave us a couple of small sample plates while we waited for our ordered food, and told us to grab fountain drinks too at no charge. Our ordered food then arrived, and as we ate he switched the conversation to the lack of sports and business opportunities during the Covid pandemic and how he proudly didn't get vaccinated. I had been prioritized for a vaccination due to my profession and gotten it, and as soon as I mentioned that (in conversation, not confrontationally cos it was so long ago anyway and the subject doesn't need to be divisive) his mood and attitude to my partner and I soured. The conversation abruptly and awkwardly ceased, and we felt very unwelcome. Sure enough, when I went to pay the bill we were charged for the supposedly-free fountain drinks, and I didn't feel I could risk furthering ill-feeling towards us by disputing it. We left, regretting our choice of dinner. The food itself was at least good (albeit not outstanding compared to other local Mediterranean options) hence the star rating I've still given, but with the extra fountain drink cost that we wouldn't otherwise have incurred it turned into an expensive meal. In addition, and needless to say, the negative interaction left a very sour taste. I can't see myself going back. TL:dr; Go for the food, or get delivery, but beware that offers of 'free' items may not remain so.
