First time! I have been wanting to try this place. I heard mixed reviews. The place was empty except for the guys working. It was quiet and peaceful. The guy that took my order recommended my plate and my son ordered the Shawarma Fries. Amazing flavor!!! Absolutely amazing!!! Delicious. I was so full but I wanted to eat every last bit. Definitely must try this place! read more

I ordered the Beef Shawarma Wrap and the Chicken Kabob Plate, and both were outstanding -- delicious, savory, and packed with bold, authentic flavor. The beef shawarma wrap was incredibly satisfying: juicy, well-seasoned, and loaded with warm, smoky spices. Each bite was rich, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the fresh toppings and creamy sauce. It's the kind of wrap that keeps you thinking about the next one before you're even done. The chicken kabob plate was equally impressive. The chicken was tender, beautifully grilled, and seasoned to perfection, with that irresistible light char and aromatic savoriness that makes kabob truly crave-worthy. The portions were generous, the presentation was clean, and every element on the plate came together for a savory, hearty, and satisfying meal. What really made the experience even better was the staff -- extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Even though the restaurant looked a bit empty at the time, don't let that fool you -- they were efficient, well-organized, and surprisingly fast. You can tell they run a tight ship because the service was smooth, the food came out quickly, and everything was done with care. They're small-place efficient, big-restaurant sufficient. Great food, great people, and a great vibe. If you love savory, authentic Middle Eastern flavors with top-tier service, this spot is a must. Highly recommend -- can't wait to come back! read more

I've ate at a lot of kabob places and this has definitely been the best one. I got the beef kofta plate and it is absolutely incredible

Unbelievably bad from start to finish. First the B rating upon walking in should have told us all we needed to know. We continued because we were with a large group who were super excited for us to try. The cashier had her two young children accompanying her and they were very invasive. We had to ask them to leave our table multiple times. The lady paid no attention to them. It was wild. The food could have made up for it a little but wow it was so bad. Unbelievably bad to he honest.Price was common for Mediterranean. Would highly recommend you do not go here read more

WOW. The food here is amazing, i got the chicken plate and I will definitely be going back for seconds! Clean environment and attentive staff. read more

Update as I ordered the Chicken Kabob today and it was cooked perfectly! Hit all the high notes: Tender, moist, flavorful, delicious with well- seasoned basmati rice. This rice had best flavor I've had at any Mediterranean restaurant. It complemented the chicken very well. A good portion of hummus and a salad was included along with a pita. I've had several items on their menu and this just happens to be my favorite. Wait was not long at all and pleasant service. BTW, this place looks very clean. It is fairly new, and it looks like they care about cleanliness. read more

Never disappoints! It seems like every time we come here the food somehow tastes better than the last time...and the value is outstanding! Every person here treats you with respect and friendliness and their service is unmatched! And let's not forget to mention that this place is always kept so clean, has a nice playlist going that's not too loud or too quiet...and just makes you feel great! read more

Eh wasn't too impressed. I've eaten Mediterranean food pretty frequently so was surprised to see an option so close. * Note I believe this is an Egyptian style tea not Greek Mediterranean food which makes a difference. First order was about $30 which They messed and I had to go back. They asked if I wanted to come in another day but this was our dinner selection so no, I don't want to save dinner for another day. The meat was not tender and very overcooked. Had consistency of ground beef on a stick. The chicken was very hard and overcooked. Paid extra for garlic sauce and hummus which usually comes for free at other establishments. 2nd order was better but still Mid. Not anything special or flavorful. Salad was not good and it's hard to mess up a salad. Flavors were just all over the place. Decor was clean and colorful. May not be back. read more

I order the chicken kabob plate. Rice,chicken and even the salad had to much salt or seasoning. The only thing I like was the hummus.

I left two previous reviews and somehow they got Yelp to remove them. The food at Don Kabob in Apple Valley is terrible. It tastes nothing like traditional Mediterranean food. The meat is over cooked and dry and everything is way too spicy. The humus is like runny mayo. We threw the food in the trash and went to Jersey Mikes. read more

I've had it all down the hill because i live there with my armenian husband, and I know there's only a couple options out here which are all so so. I was pretty sad to miss out on that now that I'm spending more time here, but as if it was heaven sent, this place just opened nearby! I was not expecting anything too close to what we've tried down the hill (armenian, lebanese, egyptian, persian, afghan, uzbek etc you get it). But I ordered a large order to try basically everything and it was genuinely incredible! They season the hell out of everything. I could go into so much detail. Lebneh was nice and thick not watery. Beef samosa dipped in the tahini is a must. The family tray is as beautiful as an oscar's charcuterie tray. Desserts are very decadent maybe enjoy with some tea or coffee lol. Even the french fries held up decently in the plastic container after 10-30 mins. Baba Ganouj was nice and slightly smokey. We always enjoy beef more than chicken but this place makes them nearly as delicious as one another. cucumber had a nice crunch and wasn't dull. Like I said I could go on about the details! The online pickup estimate was way too soon lol, I knew it wasn't going to take 15 minutes for all that i ordered, so I came after 25 minutes or so and it took another 10 minutes because they had an unfortunate break in that day. Yet they still showed everyone up with the quality of their food only probably hours later lol. Will definitely be a regular customer! read more

The Don Kabob - Pro tip make a sandwich with cucumber, tahini, rice, meat, and hot sauce. - Mediterranean Near Me - Apple Valley, California

Tried Don Kabob for the first time. Got 3 meals. Everything was excellent. Rice is seasoned well and flavorful. Meats were tender and delicious. Definitely can't go wrong by giving this place your business. Also decided to get dessert. Don't usually care for baklava, as it's too sweet for me, but theirs was not sweet and had fresh nuts on top. Staff was welcoming and pleasant. We will be back again and again and again.... Keep up the good work! read more

My husband went to The Don Kabob he's been wanting try it because he is Lebanese. He ordered the shawarma sandwich. Much to his surprise it was made with a flour tortilla. It was and looked like a burrito. Here is a pic of what he got and what it should have looked like. Needless to say he won't be going back. He makes homemade hummus at home and their hummus fell short too. Too bad...we were looking forward to this restaurant being good . read more

Great location! So glad there is Kabob place that opened in Apple Valley. They have all the classics one would expect from kabob place. My favorite is always the chicken shawarma wrap and theirs is delicious. It's quit large and very flavorful. The owner said soon they will have lentil soup, really looking forward to that. there is a lot of seating and the portions are perfect. read more

The staff is Uber friendly the food is over the top with delicious flavors, making it an experience in and of itself! If you're looking for Middle Eastern food, this is definitely on my go to list! Perfect for lunch dates or even a nice dine in experience. The only thing I could possibly bring up is that if you plan to make a dinner party they don't serve alcohol which for some that's not a thing as for myself, I would like an ice cold beer with my Middle Eastern food. I totally recommend this establishment. It is on my go to list especially for lunch! read more

First time trying it and I must say it wasn't bad. I had gotten the lamb gyro and fries with garlic sauce. The gyro was full of meat which I appreciated but it lacked all the other fixings. The meat, veggie and sauce ratio just wasn't there. Nonetheless it was still good. Almost finished the gyro with the last few bites and that's where I discovered the veggies. So all the cucumbers, onions and sauce was on the bottom of the gyro which was kinda odd bc why wouldn't it kinda layered with the meat? The fries with their special seasoning were good and the garlic sauce was delicious. I would try it again just to see if they made it differently. read more

A delicious new addition to Apple Valley! I walked into the restaurant, before the official grand opening, with no expectations but I left with the idea that I have a great place to add to my collection of delicious places to eat. The food, the Falafel Wrap, was fresh and rather large. So large I ate it in sections. The place is clean and new. And the owner added a personal touch to the experience as we talked a bit about his new place. I'm excited to return. read more

Tried The Don Kabob in Apple Valley, it's really good. The steak and chicken kabobs are really tender, the basmati rice is moist and fluffy and the pita bread is the softest I've ever had. We will definitely be back to try more options in the future. read more

Really surprised this place wasnt more crowded because this is really good food. We ordered the steak platter and a chicken platter. The chicken was outta this world! So flavorful and tender, hummus, rice, bread... everything was really really good. The large dinning area was nice and very clean. Staff were really friendly and helpful. I have absolutely no complaints about this place and will be back. read more

It was ok, but not something that made me want to go back. I'd go back to try other things though. I got a Lamb Gyro. It could have been pretty good. Would have preferred the sauce on the side because they really stuff a ton of sauce in the gyro and I had to dump and scrap as much as I could out because I couldn't taste anything else. Sandwich got super soggy. It was a mess. I'll never let them add it to the sandwich again if I ever go back. read more

The Don Kabob - Chicken kabob with rice, hummus, salad and pita bread - Mediterranean Near Me - Apple Valley, California

I am so happy The Don Kabob is finally open in Apple Valley by Target. Just like their other restaurant on Amargosa Rd, the food is absolutely fresh and delicious. The space is clean, inviting and has plenty of seating. The beef kofta kabob, chicken breast kabob, chicken and beef shawarma is hands down the best in the entire high desert. The kabobs are cooked to order so keep in mind that takes time. The falafel is cooked perfectly, never too dense or overcooked. The hummus and garlic sauce that accompany the proteins are always fresh and pairs perfectly with the proteins. The portions of proteins/rice/side salad is very generous. I highly recommend giving The Don Kabob a try if you haven't been there yet. read more

I really enjoyed this place, the food was extremely fresh and wonderful. What I am most delighted by, is they were so patient and kind to help me navigate through food, allergy information. I called the girl was so patient to walk me through soy free and nut free options and I really liked that they were confident in their menu to be able to clearly articulate food allergy restriction options. When I arrived, the place was really clean and the food was prepared and I was greeted with a smile and once again had great service. We will definitely be going back!!! read more

What a delicious addition to the Jess Ranch area. The service for online orders is excellent - they pay attention to the notes and serve it according to your wishes. It has a fast food feel to the sitting area, but the food is 5-star. So far we've tried the appetizer sampler, gyros and the mixed meat platter. All are very generously portioned! read more

Great family owned restaurant. Clean and ready to serve. Worth the wait for fresh hot Mediterranean dishes. I ordered the chicken kabob plate and my wife ordered the chicken and steak kabob plate.

I tried the lamb gyro and it was fantastic!!! Best I've had in a very long time. The pitas are also nicely warmed and fired up somehow making for a smoky toasty pita. We also tried the chicken shawarma and the flavor was insanely good but like most shawarmas I've had it's a bit on the dry side. read more

I tired this restaurant for the first time tonight (12-27-25), it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the chicken kabobs and chicken shawarma. The sauce that comes on the side of the shawarma is very delicious. And the staff was awesome. I'll definitely be going back. Thank you read more

I was a bit hesitant when trying this place because of the price but after I had it; it was the most flavorful meal that I've ever had! I highly recommend this place as it's something different. I had the lamb which had so much flavor. The employees welcomed me as I walked in and they shared their favorite meals and also described their desserts. Their location is very welcoming with great artwork on the walls. I would recommend dining in or take out is very convenient as well. Seems like a healthier choice for those seeking and protein full meal. read more

Ordered beef shawarmas saj wraps and beef pitas for the family. The beef taste was off to everyone. It tasted as if it had burnt grill residue or something. Also had some charred bits that med me to believe that. I only noticed the charred bits and started picking at them because of the taste. I don't know maybe thats the taste and I made a mistake. We're from LA and ate beef Gyros all the time and the beef always tasted great, but they didn't have beef gyros here. Maybe I made a mistake and one of the sauces gives it that burnt taste I'm not used to. I'll try the lamb gyro next and give it another shot. read more
