    Mr. Kebab, the local shop for kebabs, gyro, and wraps will have you humming for fresh hummus! This small mom and pop shop tucked into a relatively frequented mall just blocks away from city hall, schools, BART, and other public transportation, serves the local community with their deliciously seasoned and cooked meals packed with a variety of protein including lamb, beef, and chicken. The parking lot can be quite hectic due to the churn from the grocery store and other popular food and snack joints, but there are usually spots available for an impromptu visit. With electric car charging stations just on the far side of the mall, it may also be a nice place to swing by to feed your car as well as your belly. Although most of their business seems to come through takeout orders, they do have a few tables for indoor dining. The shop is pretty quiet except perhaps the occasional visit and greeting from one of the staff's kids whom are great hosts! The staff are welcoming and generous. We had also placed an online order via their website for takeout and when we had arrived, we were made aware of an omission in one of the item selections (meat option in the Buffalo garlic fries) but we had mentioned in the notes differently (asked for lamb and beef). Tammi, one of the staff members, had already prepared the food and it came out to be short a few dollars but waived the extra cost and even gave us a taste of their house made hummus. That is certainly giving the customer the pickle and encourages me to come back again! The Buffalo garlic fries were scrumptious and the meat was bountiful! The sauce didn't make it too spicy and the fries didn't get too soggy (in fact some were still relatively crispy). It's definitely a shareable dish with its abundance of fries and meat. The hot sauce does give a bit of a kick if you're looking to spice things up a bit. The whole thing came in a styrofoam box and was filled to the brim - great compact meal for the mobile customer although I would have preferred packaging that was more biodegradable. We ordered a variety of their wraps in addition to the Buffalo garlic fries. The kebab meat in the wraps were juicy and flavorful, although a bit tough to bite into and left gaping holes in the wrap after each one was eaten up. Lamb was my personal favorite. The doner chicken was phenomenal as it was succulent with all the sauces, plentiful with each bite, and tender with each chomp. The proportion of protein to the other ingredients (fresh vegetables) was pretty balanced and the wraps held up well. They were wrapped in foil and were great for on to go. The hummus had a good mix of fresh garbanzo beans and sauces. It was not as thick as other hummus I have tried but it went well in the wraps. The prices were higher than what I'm used to but for an occasional meal out, it's not too bad given that the portions are decent and the quality is good. Overall, Mr. Kebab specializes in its namesake and does a fantastic job roasting up their kebabs and rotisserie meats. The fresh vegetables served with every dish certainly balances the diet and adds more substance to each meal. Takeout orders are the way to go here as they're experienced with packaging the food up and are quick to fulfill them (within 20 minutes of online ordering). If you're looking for a hearty meal with some delicious meats while also getting a good mix of veggies, their wraps and combos will have you covered!

    Lamb & Beef Gyro Wrap ($14.99)
    Rachel L.

    Looks like a family owned restaurant serving up freshly made Mediterranean/Middle Eastern. I visited a while back and got the Lamb & Beef Gyro Wrap. This thing was juicccyyy and nicely flavored overall. A good balance of meat to veggies and drenched in plenty of sauce. However, it was extremely greasy and wet, making the pita turn soggy. I also wished the food was a bit warmer, but it might just be me that likes my food to be piping hot. Average price, decent portion, and good overall. We ordered at the cashier and took a seat. There's not much actual service here aside from delivering your food to the table. A decently good option for anyone craving mediterranean nearby!

    Combo donor
    Megan C.

    Food was sooo good, they make everything fresh. Hummus, baba ganoush, meat and sauces. What I got : Combo Donor : 5/5 Buffalo fries : 5/5 Hummus and Pita : 5/5 Came here on a late Friday night with a friend and come in to find that the owner is someone we used to go to high school with! I didn't really know him too well but doesn't matter. What matters is the food and service. The pita and the hummas were the main reason we decided to come in. The owner was giving out samples of hummus and pita and I was hooked. The pita were fried and so delicious. The combo donor was really good. I ate most of it and still had meat left over. The Buffalo fries are also a fan favorite here. I thought it was good, definitely a late night eat. Also had some leftover so will be eating that with my leftover meat! Saber is very attentive to his customers and to his food! He took over this restaurant from his uncle and perfected his marinated! They just install new lights! So fun. Overall, this place is pretty tasty and most things are made fresh and in house. Definitely a hole in the wall place. I would definitely comeback here!

    Incomplete Vegetarian Combo Platter (pic taken after I ate dolma lol)
    Malati Marlene S.

    Deeply Disappointing We used to love this restaurant, but our recent experience was very disappointing. On April 24, 2025, I ordered two Vegetarian Combo Platters and two baklavas for pickup, only to find both the baba ganoush and baklavas missing when I got home. After three days of emails and calls, the owner promised complimentary replacements once he restocks ingredients. It's now May 17, 2025 and he's yet to call. The lack of follow-through and communication is frustrating.

    Falafel Plate
    Sahridaya N.

    Holy wow, the food was incredible! I picked this place cause we were craving falafels & I was intrigued with all the good reviews I'd read..& boy did it live up to it. Right off the bat, Mr.K was fantastic & very friendly. He took our order & we sat down while he made the food fresh. The falafel platter was bursting with flavours from the chickpea salad, warm pita and delicious falafels. Very crispy and tasty, I loved them. We also ordered a portion of babaganoush & he did a 50-50 and threw in some of their deliciously creamy hummus too. Such a sweet thing to do :) The babaganoush was seriously the best thing I've had in a while. Insanely delicious stuff and the pita that's served with it was fried crispppp! It was SO GOOD that we went for another plate ;) The service was very warm & it was so cute to see the owner's kids came up to us excitedly to show off his superman toy! :D By the end of my meal, I left this place feeling super satiated and thinking about the next time I could come back.

    Chicken Doner Wrap
    Roneil S.

    Stopped by Mr. Kebab around the afternoon time. I walked in and the worker recommended i get the chicken donee wrap. It took about 10 - 15 minutes as they grill the chicken on skewers to order. I asked them to make it spicy for me in which they did. The wrap, was served in a toasted tortilla / bread. The chicken was nice and flavor full. It was served with white sauce and red sauce. It gave it a nice creamy kick mixing the both together. The wrap was filled with a bit much veggies and could've used some more chicken imo. I wish the chicken was a bit more charred as well on the grill. Over all, i enjoyed it and recommend this place who ever is in the area. The menu has a great variety of different things offered from their culture. Yes they have halal meat here! Thx again! Pricing : $17 for the wrap only. Maybe on the pricier side. But we're in tough times, so it's all good.

    Great service here. Got to meet the owner and chat a bit. It was nice seeing someone so hands on in their business. Mr recommendations for food are: The hummus, didn't taste processed and had a nice nutty flavor. The falafel: lots of flavorful herbs that give it the bright green color. It was pipping hot fresh out the fryer. The owner said the herbs are organic. Finish off your meal with the chocolate baklava! What a sweet treat.

    Falafel Plate- their falafel are full of flavor and soft from inside. Yum

    Found this gem while we were trying to find a dinner spot on yelp. I am so glad we went there. Their babganoush (10/10), hummus with pita bread is so delicious. Garbanzo bean salad (Piyaz) was perfect. Flavor of kebabs was on point. They were marinated to perfection and so tender and juicy. It's a family owned restaurant, they made our dining experience very special and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed their food and will be back soon. Do not go anywhere if you are in mood to eat kebabs.

    Mmm!
    Felix D.

    Came to this restaurant at opening and there were a few open tables in the restaurant. You order first and pay after your meal. The TV is a bit loud and there's a bit of chatter in the restaurant. Food was delicious and I love how the chicken donner wrap is filling, flavorful, and refreshing with the fresh lettuce. The woman shop owner was really friendly and made the experience at Mr. Kebab. She was running around the kitchen and packed some hummus for us to-go. Great place to dine at and I thoroughly enjoyed the hummus.

    Great customer service and I really like the chicken donner plate. I met the owner and she was so amazing!! I recommend this place and support small businesses :)

    It seems like the experience is always good here based on the reviews. As soon I entered, I was greeted and acknowledged by the person working there. He was super friendly and attentive. It's was hella refreshing and warm. I decided to order the chicken plate, but since I was waiting for my food he brought out a small appetizer for myself. That was hella nice and I was not expecting it. I really did appreciate it. Looking around, the place is well decorated and the seats had a cushion attached to them. Overall, the food hella smacks and it was flavorful. It satisfied the craving and was such a good experience. I would go again. The pricing is a little steeper than expected, but that's how life is now lol.

    Chicken kebab with extra kebabs!! HELLA good and juicy kebabs.
    Joanne C.

    This place is FIRE! The people are HELLA nice here... super accommodating and chill, down to earth. The food is *chefs kiss* .. the kebabs-- any of them.. chicken, beef, lamb... they all came out perfectly cooked. I always order the platter with extra kebabs! It comes with hella good rice (and I don't usually like rice), and chickpea salad. The hummus plate is delicious too. It comes topped with some chickpea salsa/salad and comes with fries pita chips! Sooooo good. I also LOVE the falafels. I usually only like falafels at Oren's but this place is JUST as good, if not better. They are tough to beat! 100% recommend this place. Plenty of seating for all your friends and family.

    Service was 10/10, we walked in and were immediately greeted with a smile and a friendly welcome by Tammy. She offered to help while we ordered on the tablet and answered all my questions. Her great attitude was a breath of fresh air. I was the only one ordering from my family but she still offered all of us water and even did complementary hummus to start my dinner.I recently went to Israel and I was missing the food, this hummus HIT THE SPOT! It was fresh and very well seasoned. She brought it to the table while I waited for my Togo order and we all devoured it. My husband, the picky eater, could not have enough. My meal was not as the Israeli food I was craving but definitely still delicious. It will hold me over for now but this is a new favorite at our home. The restaurant was homey and clean! The only reason this is not a perfect review was the price. For one plate and tip we paid $24, though worth it in service it was not a ton of food to justify spending that much one plate. Thank you Tammy for your excellent service and delicious food. Can't wait to go back!

    Do they have gluten free options?

    Hello Amber, great question!! Yes, we have have gluten free options, almost everything on the menu is Gluten free!! Love for you to give us a try(:

    Do they accept Apple pay?

    Yes

    Pardon my ignorance, but does Chicken donor refer to liver or kidney?

    I dont think it's liver or kidney to be honest. More like chicken thigh meat. I could be totally wrong though. I order the chicken donor plate every time I visit mr Kebab. It's delicious!

    New owner! Establishment has improved! Do y'all recommend other dishes besides the delicious chicken doner?

    The lamb and beef doner plate is really good especially when a side of fries is added!

I always ask for the meat to be a little crispy and they get it just right. The plate comes with lamb and beef gyro meat, rice, salad, hummus, and pita. I also asked for their orange yogurt sauce and hot sauce. My partner loves the orange sauce and says it has an umami flavor. For me it is just okay, but I really enjoy their hot sauce. It is not the usual sambal you get at a lot of Mediterranean spots. It has more of a salsa style taste which sounds a little odd but actually works really well. It has flavor without being too spicy, though I do like my food extra spicy. The rice here is also worth mentioning because it is so flavorful and has that umami taste that makes you want to keep eating it. The owner is always very friendly and welcoming too.

Onto food: We had a group of 4 and ordered everything family style. - Girit: a garlic and spice whipped cheese with pistachios, great with bread. - Pancar: roasted yellow and red beets with Turkish white cheese. - Uc Borek: 3 phyllo rolls: they're fairly small, so it's hard for more than 3-4 people to share (1 bite each). One is zucchini, one is cheese, and one has beef. Beef was my favorite - Ahtapot: fire grilled octopus with a bean spread. - Ege Salatasi: similar to a Greek salad with tomatoes (so good in summer!), green bell peppers, onions, cucumber, croutons, Turkish white cheese, olives. - Chilean sea bass: loved the Aegean greens with this. The sea bass was so flavorful and was a generous portion. - Alinazik: beef tenderloin skewers with smoked eggplant labneh. Desserts: - Kunefe: melted mozzarella filling coated in phyllo, served warm. - Damla sakizli: their homemade mastika ice cream, which pairs wonderfully with the kunefe It's best to go with a group so that you can try more dishes. Everything had bold Mediterranean/Middle Eastern flavors, and our server was really helpful when we were trying to decide on dishes. If you have more time or are hungrier, the tasting is also a great way to go (I've done it at the Sunnyvale location)!

Plus, their signature orange sauce never disappoints! 2. Mixed Fried Rice: This came loaded with eggs, chicken, and veggies. Unlike some places where the veggies feel like an afterthought, these tasted fresh. The portion size was great, flavorful and more than enough for two people. 3. Chicken Sizzler: There is nothing like hearing that loud sizzling sound when food is brought to your table! I initially expected it to come with fries and veggies, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it served on top of a huge bed of noodles. It was incredibly tasty. My only minor critique is that the menu just lists the name of the dish without a description. While I could have asked, it would be helpful if the menu explained what the sizzler entails, especially since their other menu items have descriptions. The Perks & Ambiance: Free Tea: A wonderful touch! They offer free, unlimited aromatic hot tea for dine-in customers, served in cute little espresso cups. Service & Seating: There is plenty of seating available. The service is prompt, though you might occasionally need to wave them over to get their attention, but it's definitely not a dealbreaker. Parking & Access Tip: There is ample parking in the complex, but getting to it can be a bit tricky right now due to the ongoing roadwork on Fremont Blvd. From the street, it almost looks like the restaurants in this plaza might be closed, but don't be fooled; they are absolutely up, running, and well worth the visit!

    DeAfghanan Cuisine is my go-to spot for bolani. No matter which variety I order, it is always…read moresatisfying and full of flavor. I usually get my food to go because the restaurant can become crowded, and I prefer enjoying it somewhere more relaxed. My favorite way to do it is to pick up an order, take it to a nearby park, and enjoy the food outside. It makes for a simple and enjoyable meal without dealing with the busy dining area. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good Afghan food, especially if you enjoy fresh bolani.

    Small restaurant on the side of the street. There's a few parking spots in the back, but also some…read morestreet parking. We came in on Saturday at 11:30 to an empty restaurant, but by noon it was packed. We ordered the mantu, bolani, a few kabobs, and the lamb shank challow. The appetizers were great - the mantu had a great flavor and felt very hearty. The leek and butternut squash felt homey and warm - our waitress said they were her favorite, and were so glad she gave us that recommendation! The leek paired nicely with the yogurt provided, as it was a little spicy and had an aroma pretty similar to chives. The squash bolani was slightly sweet, and almost felt like an in-between for dessert. Having both was a nice contrast. By far the murgh (chicken) kabob was our favorite skewer, as it was the juiciest meat, and quite tender. The table ranked the chaplee (ground meat, with a hint of spice) next in terms of flavor and texture, and teka (tri tip) was slightly more dry and bland compared to everything else. The lamb shank was quite tender but smaller than expected for the price; it still had a nice homey flavor though I prefer when restaurants provide more of that braised juice to go alongside the dish. I don't eat cilantro, so had requested there to be no cilantro in any dishes, but they said they couldn't remove it from the salad, so was a little sad about that. We also had to request for Overall, would highly recommend the chicken kabob and bolani - would love to come and try other appetizers too.

    Excellent the best burger Very clean hygienic Resturant…read more Masood the owner takes a great pride off his restaurant and a great personality I would recommend Falafel Flare to everyone.

    Cool spacious and airy space with solid Middle East eats. I've driven past many times but finally…read morejust checked them out recently. Crazy ambitious menu with pizza, burgers, wings, kabobs, wraps and many Mid East favs like falafels, dolmas, gyro and babaghanoush. I only tried a couple of items, so I do need to try a few more things eventually. Order at the counter and food will get brought out. Seems like a place popular for take-out/deliveries. On a casual lunch I was impressed by the diversity in the place, as it is downtown Hayward. Young, old and cultural garb from several cultures spotted. Service at the register was friendly, dude gave off ownership vibes. Falafel Wrap ($11/4*) Very fresh and satsifying wrap. Big, soft and puffy pita bread is filled to the brim with fresh salad-like veggies. Chopped lettuce, tomato, onions and a couple of pickled items. Stuffed also with a decent amount of fat disk of falafel and a good dousing of tahini sauce. I loved the bites for the most part as I was full without feeling weighed down for the lunch hours. The falafels had good flavor but just didn't seem as crisp as I usually prefer, didn't seem fresh out of the fryer, which the places that are known for this definitely do. I especially liked the bites more when a pickled veggie entered the bite, so I should have ordered extra...next time. Beef Kabobs ($25/4*) Got this for take-out and it was still good hours later after a reheat. Beef is in small cubes and cooked pretty well done. A bit dry but at least it was flavorful. Definitely taste more Afghan in spicing/marinade, pretty bold with lots of garlic and herbs. De Afghanan out here in the east bay is the gold standard for these types of kabobs and those are cut into bigger chunks and are juicier by a lot. Kabob plates comes with a good amount of seasoned basmati rice, a pita bread, a small green salad and a small scoop of hummus. Even tho $25 seems a bit pricey, there is enough food to justify the price. I was able to make 1.5 meals out of it with a good dinner and a small work lunch. I actually want to try a pizza here and definitely a lamb kabob. I hang out in this downtown area often, so great having another casual option in my back pocket. Yeah Buddy!!
