Excellent food! Had the schwarma platter which was great. We also had the gyro and falafel. Reasonably priced. Friendly and attentive waitstaff read more

Wow! Fresh food for lunch! They had just restocked everything And it was delicious. The guy (maybe owner) was so nice. I am very pregnant and due in one week. He saw that I didnt have enough money on me by two dollars and told me to please not worry about it. I told him I could run to my car and grab more and he heavily insisted that money wasn't a concern, and he would accept my money even being short. He was so nice and the food was so great. I am so pleased with this experience that I had to review it, even though I have never left a review before for any restaurant. Will be back! and even though some people May think it's expensive, it's not because I fed three people on two different occasions! The portions were huge! read more

Food was tasty. I would have gave more stars if it hadn't taken nearly 25 minutes for a lunch special and when the Chicken skewer came out, it was without a skewer and the chicken was proportioned equal to about 5 chicken nuggets. For $9 I expected more than that. read more

Favorite restaurant in Lexington. Fantastic food. Always welcoming & they have a big selection to choose from. 5

The quality and quantity of the food will surprise you. While I cannot speak to any of their vegetarian dishes or appetizers (besides the grape leaves, which are my favorite), their meat dishes are unmatched when it comes to middle eastern cuisine across Lexington. They are craftful with their spices and sauces. We drive across the city to get Mr. Kabab and it is always a treat. If you decide to get kebabs, you may have a tiny bit of a longer wait, since they will grill them fresh for you. The meat has always been good quality and fresh, just as I like it. read more

This was just what I wanted for my shaworma craving. We had driven into Lexington from Dayton for my grandson's ice hockey tournament and needed a lunch stop. I found this on yelp. Very comfortable, casual establishment with adequate dining space. Pretty simple to order. The food was very good and the service was polite. I had the shaworma lunch platter. Other reviews are spot on, the garlic sauce is amazing. I had baba ganoush as my side, which I always enjoy. My son had the lamb skewers plate with a Greek salad. He was also very pleased with the food. I bought a container of 4 pieces of baklava for $5 to take with me. I kond of wish I had nixed the baklava. It didnt have the crispy layers of phyllo like i expected. It was very soft. There was plenty of honey, but even the flavor was lacking, in my opinion. But i would definitely return to mr kebab for the shawarma or a gyro. read more

This is my first time eating here and I loved it! I had the chicken shaworma, tabooli salad and grape leaves. It was fantastic! Very filling, yet light. The owner was delightful, and Gwen was so helpful with suggestions of items I should try. Would def come back. I can't believe I drive by here daily and hadn't tried it! Unfortunately, the picture is of the portion I couldn't eat. I was in to big a hurry to sample it, that I forgot to take a pic before. :) read more

Mr Kabab - Chicken shaworma with tabooli and grape leaves - Mediterranean Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

This is an amazing stop for lunch or dinner. The meat is always moist and flavorful, while the rice is fresh and very well seasoned. My favorite is the falafel! My bf and I split a regular size shwarma and sometimes still don't finish it! Would recommend everything on the menu, as I have eaten there at least 100 times. So good. read more

Been going to this place since I was a little girl. I adore it to put it lightly. I've never tried anything I haven't liked. I typically go for the lamb or chicken platter or one of each. The fattoush is great as is the falafel and the hummus. I cannot say enough to great things about this place. From the Arabic music in the background to the atmosphere definitely worth checking out. If I lived in Lexington I would most definitely be a regular! read more

Serving sizes are large. Very friendly and fast. Gyros could use a little more Vegetables, so I always ask for some more on the side :) Been here Numerous times and always consistent. read more

Delicious food for a reasonable price! I loved the combo gyro platter. It comes with extra meat that I take home for a second meal.

One of my favorite lunch spots. Usually always get the chicken Shawarma lunch plate. Consistently tasty, never disappoints. read more

Best Gyro I've ever had, the rice was cooked well and had a great variety of sides to choose from.

I absolutely love Mr. Kabab! My favorite thing to order is the chicken skewers with hummus on the side. I've had the gyro, beef skewer, lamb skewer, and falafel but I always seem to go back to the chicken skewers. The best chicken, garlic sauce, and hummus in town! You won't be disappointed. read more

BEST lamb I've ever had. The lamb swarma is my favorite meal of the week. Huge servings.

I don't know why ,, but any time I eat there food, i had stomach upset, then vomiting. Me and all my family and couple friends Definitely we stop going there!!! read more

Love this place and its sister shop, Gyroz. It satisfies all my cravings for Levantine cuisine, the ambience is nice, the Arabic music videos are hilarious. One note: I got the tahini salad and it was very unpalatable. This was the only thing that I've gotten here that was unsatisfactory. Also, to other reviewers: just because Sahara is world-class doesn't mean you should vote this place down. And there are some marked advantages of this place--ambience, location and it is less crowded and less apt to run out of food. read more

Always a decent crowd..good sign. Great, fresh, hot food. May have to wait a few minutes but worth the wait. Excellent gyros. I wasn't crazy about the small Greek salad but I'm sure it's a winner as well. I look forward to trying more from their menu. read more

Great food. The falafel sandwich, lentil soup and yogurt cucumber salad were excellent. And, my husband loved the shaworma lunch plate and humus. Good prices too! Fun atmosphere, and definitely feels local. read more

Wow awesome delicious chicken with basmati rice we loved the hummus with pita bread good selection and food varieties and so healthy

Excellent, affordable, fresh food. Large portions. Convenient location - just off Richmond rd.

This place has my favorite kafta in town! Very authentic. Love the garlic sauce on everything. Tried the beef kabob once but it was a little overcooked for my liking. Service is helpful and friendly and the place is always clean. read more

Been going to Mr Kebab for many years and always the food is top knotch and the prices cannot be beat especially for the lunch Schwarzwald or kebab plates. Family owned restaurant with wonderful atmosphere. You must try this place if you like Middle Eastern aka Mediterranean cuisine. Thanks again for the years of great service Jared Seymour read more

One of the most ugliest experience we've had in a restaurant,, very rude staff and the food was so undone and they have absolutely no customer service at all, plus that the tables are so dirty,, will never go there again, soooooo unrecommended read more

For Lexington to be full of chains, it's nice to find authentic foods made fast and fresh! As a safe option, the lunch special is always a good option. Somewhat annoying that this place has 3 stars, as the food truly is excellent! You CANNOT find fresher, better tasting food for the money! read more

The food was good. I'd do this again next time I'm near by. The most tea was perfectly delicious, pleasantly sweet, and very minty. The salad was unusual, but not bad. Had the chicken swarma. read more

I love this place, and have been getting it every week or two for months. You can tell they care a lot about presentation and quality. I've tried everything on the menu, and normally get the beef shawarma. Every time it's got the right mix of spices and I'm never disappointed. My wife gets the falafel, which is also amazing. I went to Sahara for the first time last week and it was pretty good, but not on the same level as Mr. Kabab. I'm not sure why Sahara had a long line and Kabab is normally vacant. I consider it one of the best places in Lexington, and hope more people discover it and give it the business it deserves! read more

I usually love mediterranean food but this was by far my worst experience at a restaurant. We waited for at least 15 minutes though there was only one other couple there. The food for me was't very flavorful and even was pretty dry. Though my friends did say they enjoyed their dish which was the chicken schwara. I even got a little sick afterwards but I think it was because of the amount of cream based sauce that was in my dish and was not their fault. read more

So I was driving around, looking for a place to park for a second to return a phone call that I missed earlier. And then the aroma of something incredibly delicious stopped me in my tracks. It smelled like a firepit, roasted meat, and heaven. I turned my car around and walked into a curious little place, "Mr.Kabab". There were older Middle-Eastern men sitting outside and playing cards. Inside, I saw a dingy and somewhat old-fashioned room with Arabic music playing on TV. I had gyros with a tabboule (spelling?) salad. Both were great, although I'd add a little more seasoning to the gyro meat. Will certainly be coming there again to try other things on the menu. read more

Their chicken kabab & shawromah are good. The salads are good and fresh. The rest of the food is healthy and fresh as well. The staff was friendly and fast. Reasonable priced items. read more

Excellent food. You get lots of food for the platter. Very flavorful. Definitely try different sides. If you are deciding between Chiptole or Mr. Kabab, go here! read more

Ordered veggie falafel and hummus. Both were good, but the pita bread wasn't as fresh and plump as I was expecting.

Tried the spinach pie here and it was good. Clean and easy to find.

Authentic cuisine, great prices & portions, friendly staff. However, after eating at this location for a year, I finally used their restroom and was filled with concern & disappointment. Discussing filth. If that is how they care for & clean their public restrooms for their customers, I don't have much faith in the cleanliness & sanitization of their kitchen area. So unfortunate. Since then, I have not returned. However, in a few months I might give it another chance because their Tabooli Salad is the best in Lexington... read more

I have no idea why this place has only 3 stars. The food is fresh and delicious, and the staff is very friendly. Lexington needs places like this to diversify the food scene. They're serving up tasty food at excellent prices! read more

Really good for the price and type of restaurant. The lamb is great...full of flavor and cooked well. The gyro bread is pre made but tastes good. Hummus is awesome. We always get the gyros and are happy every time. The rice is good as well. It's not the best I've had but if your craving Greek style food, it hits the spot. read more

What a great little spot - the owner @ the middle eastern supermkt down the street recommended. I've been there 3x since I found it last month.......... & I've found a clear favorite - The Spinach pies are worth the price of admission!! Do yourself a big favor & try em. read more

This is a good place for a quick meal, but keep it simple. I was happy that the Dolma's were vegetarian instead of those gross meat pods some places have instead. One thing that made me a tad disappointed was the guy getting my meal ready was just reheating these old falafel balls in a microwave, I don't care so much but seeing made me think twice. read more

While I love Mediterranean food this place has many issues. The staff is unfriendly and the food is hit or miss. I will never eat here again, they served me an order of shwarma that was extremely dry as though it had sat out overnight. read more
