    Chicken kabob
    Tzu-En L.

    I highly recommend this spot. My friend who lives in vegas took me here and I was very happy. The restaurant itself is very cozy and clean. Their service is great, our server is very attentive to our needs. They are very fast to refill my water :). Food: omggggggg their chicken noodle soup and borscht soup are prob one of the best I ever have. I came here after recovery from food illness and it was very nourishing. Their chicken kabob is amazing. The chicken is very flavorful/juicy and not overcooked. I love their rice, which is fluffy and yummy. Everything taste very freshly made. I am def returning here in the future when I visit. Highly recommend this spot to anyone

    Chicken Kabob

    We tried this restaurant for the first time about a week ago, and our server was Sophie (I believe that's how her name is spelled). She was fantastic--attentive, friendly, and consistently checked on us throughout the meal. She kept our water glasses full, made sure we had everything we needed, and provided excellent service. The food was also very good, which is why we decided to come back the following week for lunch. On our second visit, the food was just as good, but unfortunately the service was not. We had a different server who took our order, brought out our food, and only checked on us once during the meal. While it wasn't a terrible experience, it was a noticeable difference compared to the outstanding service we received from Sophie. We ended up having to flag down another server just to get to-go boxes, a water refill, and our check. What made it more disappointing was that the restaurant wasn't busy, and several servers appeared to be standing and talking near the front by the register instead of checking on their tables. Overall, the food has been consistently very good, but the quality of the service seems to depend on which server you have. We hope our second experience was just an exception because we'd like to continue coming back.

    Best Mediterranean food we tried here in Vegas. Highly recommended. Service is excellent!

    Combo plate

    A friend of mine who lives in Vegas took my wife and I to dinner one night. They said we're gonna eat Armenian food. What's Armenian food? No matter I was up for it and I really enjoyed myself. Sorry I forgot to take pictures because the food was good and I was hungry. Everyone working there was really nice. The atmosphere was a layback feel that made you feel at home. My friend did most of the ordering. We started off with a tomato salad and some cheese with beef. Then we had some hummus with bread and an eggplant mash that was eaten with the bread. The bread was like a pita bread. The portions are big so my wife and I shared a combo plate for our main dish. It came with lamb, chicken and beef with rice and a bed of salad. The meats were all so tender and tasty. I cleaned off the lamb bone, it was that good. I finished off with baklava with ice cream and Armenian coffee. Everything tasted amazing!! Lots of free parking and come as you are. No need for dressing up, just come hungry. We didn't make a reservation but I hear it gets crowded on the weekends so if you're coming on a weekend maybe you should make a reservation. If you're looking for something different for dinner while you're in Vegas, I really recommend you try Shish Kabob House. Happy Eating!!

    Reasonable prices!

    Always a great experience here. This is a great place for lunch or dinner. You should go by yourself or with a group. Service is always good and the food is quality with quantity. White tablecloths and attentive service makes it feel like a fancier place but it is pretty casual. Go try this place.

    The food here is great. Always consistent and great flavor. The price point is perfect. I've been to a handful of Mediterranean restaurant in the Vegas area. This is probably the very best.

    The entertainment. Great piano player!
    Becky L.

    We love it here! I give this place 5 stars! Their food is very good. They make the best hummus which is always perfect and served with plenty of bread! This time I had a gyro and my hubby had the Greek salad. I've had in the past their lamb chops which are delicious. My gyro was served with a salad and rice. You can choose fries or rice! My hubby's salad was so big he didn't finish it all. Their prices are just right too! To add to the delight, there is a piano player that plays dinner music from 6 pm on. He's very good!

    Well..... no matter if you are armenian or not, this is THE place you need to try!! I am from San Diego and I wish we had a place like this with a great taste, clean restaurant, fast and kind service and extremely low prices compared to the food quantity. Thank you and see you soon again.

    Beef Lula and Beef Kabob
    Juvanny J.

    The food was delicious overall. We ordered the mixed beef kabobs plate that came with one skewer of beef kabob (chunks) and one skewer of beef lula kabob (ground). We also ordered the combination plate which came with lamb chops, beef lula kabobs, beef kabobs, and chicken kabob. Both entries cane with rice and salad. The pricing and portions were beyond reasonable. The meat was seasoned to perfection and you can tell everything was made with fresh, quality ingredients. The rice was flavorful and well cooked. The lamb chops were alright. Nothing to write home about. I've had better lamb chops. The ambiance is inviting and laid back. They have live music on weekends. The service was attentive and friendly. Overall, it's a solid mediterranean restaurant if you're looking for quality Armenian food.

    I came here for the first time and grabbed take out - lamb chops, beef kabob, and chicken kabobs with a mix of rice and fries. They had an event that day, so I had low expectations for food since they were clearly busy. But food was still good. My husband and dad loved the lamb chops. I didn't try any since I'm not into lamb. But the beef kabob was good. Chicken was on the drier side but not bad. Rice and fries were not the best of the industry but passable. Prices, food, service all decent. I don't think I'd make an effort to drive out here just for this, but it wasn't bad.

    I have been coming here regularly for over 10 years. The food always fresh/flavorful, and it's a complete and satisfying meal. The portion sizes are quite large and a good value for the price. Most entrees come with a house side salad, choice of rice pilaf or fries (you can get 1/2 rice and 1/2 fries), a roasted tomato and jalapeño, and a whole pita. The service is friendly and there's plenty of staff, however the orders do take a while to come out. Expect at least 20 mins to get the main dishes. I assume the meats are grilled to order, and the meal service is just slower in general (typical European style?). It's not usually an issue. Just expect more of a longer sit-down dinner type of experience (or order for takeout, they package things very nicely). The restaurant is nice and clean inside. It's somewhat more elevated, like they use tablecloths on the tables. It's usually fairly busy during dinner time with several tables seated. It has a good atmosphere and they occasionally have live music, like a keyboard player. My go-to order is the combo plate. You get a variety of the meats - Beef Lula, Beef Kabob, Chicken Kabob, and choice of either pork chop or lamb chop. I've gotten their more simple variations too. I'd say in general, the kabob meats (whole chunks) vs the Lula (ground meat) can be slightly dry, especially the chicken, not overly so, and it's mostly because it's white meat. I still enjoy it though. Overall, all the meats are well seasoned and have a nice grilled flavor. I've also tried the grilled fish, grilled quail, and several of the appetizers like the Kibbeh, hummus, and eggplant dip. I've never been unhappy or disappointed by anything. Definitely give this place a try!

    Branzino
    Sarineh A.

    I don't often write reviews, but food this delicious alongside live music, it deserved a review. The place was fairly packed but we had a reservation for a large party and the service was still great. The food was truly delicious, the kebab was juicy, my daughter loved the Lamb Chops (aka Meat Lollipops), but my favorite was the Branzino! Full of flavor and also beautifully presented with well seasoned vegetables, I don't often find Branzino that's well seasoned and this was by far my favorite. Would certainly visit again and likely on a weekend to enjoy the beautiful live music.

    Beef Short Ribs
    Hanna S.

    Our lunch was good, but not special. The star dish was the eggplant caviar with hot flatbread. Nice rich flavors and a sense of occasion. The short ribs were also juicy and delicious in a city with lots of great renditions. The rice was a buttery treat. Some other dishes were more forgettable. The salmon was a little overdone, grape leaves lacking flavor other than tartness, the side salads mostly iceberg. In a lesser food city than Las Vegas -- or even in an outer neighborhood further from Chinatown -- this could be a terrific choice. Given the competition around here, though, this option doesn't stand out from the crowd.

    Shish Kabob House Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Shish Kabob House

    Is the borsht made with meat?

    Is there a private room that could hold a smallish wedding reception? Is there any way that the venue could work as a post wedding meal location?

    I think that you can get food from there but there is no wedding stuff unless you ask to close it down and see if they could open that tiny stage

    Any gluten-free options?

    Its a kabob place. 90% of the menu is gluten free. Meat, fish, rice (while there is gluten, its a different form than wheat, and most suffers of celiacs process rice just fine), salads, pickles

    Are the chicken and beef kabobs gluten free? And is the rice gluten free also? Thank you!

    I'm not sure what they may use in the marinade to make the kabobs so tasty. To be safe, especially if you have a gluten allergy, contact the Restaurant directly and speak with a manager regarding gluten-free options.

It was slightly dry however, but not too bad when combined with the tzatziki sauce, chimmichurri, and other veggies. I had leftovers the next day and the meat seems to have gotten more moist after microwaving it interestingly. The gyro meat seems to be made more kabob style so the pieces are more like strips vs thin shavings like how it would be when cooked on a vertical spit/rotisserie. There is still some good crust/color on the pieces. Gyro -- 4.5/5 * Great gyro wrap. No complaints other than the meat being a little dry like mentioned above. Gyro plate -- 4/5 * Great plate overall. Same comment for the meat as the wrap, as I picked the same beef and lamb protein. The rice was also a kind of plain, almost just like white rice. I was expecting a more seasoned rice pilaf. I liked the inclusion of chimmichurri sauce in addition to the tzatziki with this dish. It comes with a side salad too making it a great well-rounded meal. Loaded fries (no protein added) -- 3/5 * Fries itself were fresh, hot, and crisp. Overall dish had good flavor (very zingy), but was very wet. There's two different types of sauce drizzled all over the fries in addition to a scoop of chimmichurri sauce in the middle. There's also tomato, cucumber, onion, and feta cheese. The sauce is quite liquidy, and there was a lot of it. This might have been better if the sauce was a little thicker, just less sauce in general, or more fries. The fries did stay quite crisp for a while but eating it was just very messy and a little off with how much dripping cold sauce was on top. Service was friendly and the inside was clean with lots of available seating. Give them a try!

I am very picky with falafel and this was the best I have had in Vegas so far. It was fluffy and moist while the outside was perfectly crunchy.
