amazing food good customer service excellent menu very delicious very clean polite and the food was extremely delicious

Stopped by Don Kabob in Victorville and I've got to say -- this place is legit. The food tastes incredibly fresh. You can tell everything is made with quality ingredients, from the perfectly seasoned and tender meat to the crisp veggies and warm, soft pita. Nothing tasted reheated or dry -- everything came out hot and flavorful. The portions are solid and the flavors are on point. The rice was fluffy, the kabobs were juicy, and the sauces tied everything together perfectly. On top of that, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was right. You can feel that they care about the food and the customers. If you're in Victorville and want fresh, flavorful Mediterranean food with great service, Don Kabob is definitely worth stopping by. I'll be back for sure. read more

My mom and I came to Don Kebab with family around 7:10 PM and spent almost $120 for 5 plates, fully understanding they closed at 8:00 PM. We waited nearly 30 minutes for our food with no communication about the delay, and despite us sitting down intending to dine in, our food was handed to us packed to-go without asking. An employee came up and asked us to leave around 7:44 as he handed us our food, so they could start cleaning, while other customers were still sitting and eating without being told anything. The whole situation felt awkward and unprofessional, especially considering the amount of time and money we spent there that evening. We completely understand restaurants needing to close on time, but better communication and consistency with customers would've made the experience much more respectful. read more

I went back and forth between 2 and 3 stars and settled on the lesser. Stopped in for dinner around 6pm. Waited at the counter for 5 minutes before someone took our order. They were extremely busy dealing with pick up orders. Understandable. The restaurant was HOT! Considering it was about 90 degrees outside you would hope the place would at least have a fan. It did not. I ordered the kofta and chicken plate. The Husband ordered the steak plate. Both came with a side of hummus, pita bread, salad , rice and the proteins. Chicken - Dry Steak - Tough Kofta - I've had better Salad - Meh Rice - blah Pita bread - ok Hummus - Good Doesn't look like we will coming back. read more

This was my first time here so not sure if they make their own pita in-house, but omg Best. Pita. Ever. So delicious read more

The Don Kabob - Pita - Middle Eastern Near Me - Victorville, California

Considering that I was in town from the Bay Area for an event, my buddies from around town had me try this place out. I ask myself, why does Yelp only have 5 stars? This place can rock 10 stars honestly. Food comes out piping hot, personally I ordered beef and it was so juicy that I wanted to take some back with me to SF. It's a great joint with modern vibes that remind you of an upscale food joint. You'll feel comfy eating in or outside. I can see why the locals love it and honestly, I love it too. read more

I knew about The Don Kabob in Victorville before it even opened its doors. I just have not gotten to checking them out until today. I was so excited as I love Mediterranean foods. Unfortunately, it wasn't a very great eating experience. I arrived about an hour plus before closing time. They weren't busy at all. It has very colorful interior with lots of seating. Some outside seating available as well. They have one of those fancy soda machines. They have restrooms for customer use only. I knew exactly what I wanted to try which were the Chicken Kabob Plate and Falafel Plate. I ordered them to-go. The lady who took my order was very friendly and nice. Thank you miss! Fyi, their menu is on the left side upon entry. Just a tip, you should review the menu first and once you know what you want, then walk up to the counter and order. Otherwise, you'll be turning your head and squinting your eyes to look at the menu like I did. Or you can take a photo of the menu to have it on hand when ordering. Btw, they don't have the menu at the counter. The wait time was about 15 mins which wasn't too bad. I didn't check my order before leaving the restaurant and I should have. My boo boo... After I got home and opened my Chicken Kabob Plate, I was like... why is the chicken kabob meat flat? This is NOT chicken kabob! It looks more like chicken shawarma that was repurposed to be chicken kabob. They didn't do a very good job because chicken kabobs are chunks not flat. This is very UNACCEPTABLE! I paid good money for chicken kabob, I should get what I paid for... the real chicken kabob! In addition to it not being in its true form, chicken was super super dry. I had to stop eating it. Hence, 1 star! Btw, flavor was just okay. Anyway, rice was in a dark orange color which I'm not used to seeing for Mediterranean yellow rice. It tasted okay and could have been fluffier. Now on the bright side, the falafel, hummus, Arabian salad + turnip pickles, and pita bread were very good. Quite tasty! Will I come back you ask? I would have if they stayed true to serving the foods that their customers ordered. I feel they fell way short in this area. So verdict is a big fat NO... I will not be back unfortunately. I really wanted to try their other food items, but they have lost a customer for life. Businesses that don't do right do not get my patronage and support going forward. If it is an honest mistake, then fine, but if it is intentional to serve something that the customer did not order for whatever reason, then it's not fine. Integrity is everything in my book. read more

Good, well-priced, fast-casual Mediterranean food. The place is clean, service is quick, and you get a good amount of food for what you pay. I got the chicken kabob. The chicken itself was okay, but it was definitely far from high-quality. It was a bit dry, but it had decent flavor and char from the grill. There were plenty of kabob pieces, plus a solid serving of rice underneath. And you get a sizable piece of pita on your plate as well. My guess is that the shawarma is better than the kabob. The shawarma looked fresher and juicier. Still, this is a good spot if you're passing through Victorville and need a filling and healthy option. I'd come back and try the shawarma. read more

The restaurant is quiet, clean, and very nice looking. Service was quick and to the point, they have tap pay. LOOOOOVED the food it's so delicious. I tried the chicken shawarma rice bowl and it did not disappoint. Also so much food in just one portion. Thank you!! 10/10 will be back. read more

We were in the area visiting and wanted to grab dinner that we could bring back to our hotel room. Upon walking in, there was a decent crowd so I felt good about my choice. The menu on the wall didn't have everything I had seen on the online menu so I went with what I saw on their online menu and ordered the juiciest Egyptian kabob plate and the Shawafel plate (beef). The plates both came with hummus, half a pita, rice and salad with pickled veggies. The food was hit and fresh and insanely delicious. This was easily some of the best food I have had in a while. My husband and I were disappointed only in the fact that we don't have anything this good in Seattle. His beef kabob was absolutely juicy. I didn't think it would be but my gawd, it was moist and full of flavor. My plate came with half falafel and half beef sharma. All though the beef was in small pieces it was still a punch of flavor bites and pretty tender. The pickled salad that came with the plate was the perfect accompaniment for my hummus and falafel. The hummus was smooth and creamy too. The beef samosa had a flaky crust with delicious filling. The creamy garlic sauce was served on the side and added a nice tang to the samosa. Not pictured but also ordered a large baba ghanouge with a side of pita and holy moly! It was some of the best I have had in a long time. The roasted eggplant came through but was highlighted by the other flavors in the dip and was perfect in every bite. I wanted to bring home a whole tub with me. It is a lot of food for the price too. Definitely a great value. Neither of us finished our food and warmed it up for breakfast the next day. It reheated well and was just as delicious. If I tell you I'm planning a trip to Victorville - just know it's so I can come here. read more

I ordered online (there was discount, but there was also an online order fee) so food would be ready for me to pick up and get back to work. Food was delicious. I mean the 3 of us just loved the items--chicken shawarma bowl, chicken/falafel plate, and lamb/beef gyro sandwich. The food was so good that we kept saying it was good while eating, then we talked about later at end of work, and then again the next day how we will get the food again when we are back in town. So, it was that kind of tasty. Were we hungry at lunch? Yes. Would we order it again? Yes. Do they have tasty sauces? Yes. read more

This is the worst pita falafel I have ever had. I ordered over 100 dollars worth of food I asked for such sauce in the pita. It was dry. Also you forgot to add the large spicy sauce I asked for on the side Wich was a charge of 12.99. Never ever again will I order from here. read more

The Don Kabob - Dry no sauce at all flavorless - Middle Eastern Near Me - Victorville, California

It's really upsetting when a Kabob restaurant advertises Beef Kabob made with Filet Mignon. This place uses a low grade sirloin steak which I threw away because I couldn't chew it.. If I would've known I would've ordered the chicken. Change your menu to tough sirloin so your customers don't order it thinking it's really Filet mignon. The Ambiance wasn't anything special. They had Hip hop music playing and it was super cold in the restaurant as well. read more

If I could eat here everyday I would! Amazing service! You can tell the food is fresh and made to order. Slight mix up on the sauce but I actually didn't mind, I ended up enjoying both! read more

Stopped by this location with my two sisters. Place is very vibrant and has seating available for small groups. We got two chicken shawarma fries and a kofta plate with some desserts. Everything was well seasoned and juicy. We had plenty of left overs to feed a fourth person. Food came out fast, establishment is clean and prices seem reasonable. read more

Absolutely best Shawrma I've ever had 10/10. Staff was great. Service was quick price was great and servings were big. The sauce on the side absolutely insane. Greatly appreciate yall will definitely be back when I'm in Victorville. read more

Messed up both of my online orders, didn't give my side that I paid extra for, and charged me extra for meat that they didn't give. I ordered 2 mixed grill salad bowls which comes with 3 different meats - steak chicken and beef kofta. For one bowl I asked to replace the chicken with steak and paid an extra substitution fee. They ended up giving me one bowl with only chicken and one bowl with only steak. How is this a mixed grill bowl? Mind you the chicken only and steak only bowls are cheaper. They also didn't give my $9 large sauce bowl. Overall bad experience and ruined my colleague and my lunch, would not recommend read more

Ordered a chicken kabob plate and steak kabob plate. The rice on both plates was very salty. The chicken was good but the steak tasted very floral. Not sure if that was intended but it overpowered the flavor of the steak. The associate that took my order was on his phone checking his stocks/ crypto while trying to answer my questions about the menu. I had to repeat my question a few times and he still answered confused. We won't be eating here again. read more

The food was delicious, the service and staff are very friendly. Very clean establishment! I will be returning! read more

If you are in the mood for great middle eastern food and are passing through Victorville, The Don Kabob is the place to go. I enjoyed the chicken kabob plate with salad in lieu of rice and my husband had the beef shawarma pita a fries. We both really liked what we ordered - tasty, large portions, and good quality. The housemade hummus was so good that I bought a to-go container. Shout out to Eddie who was helpful and attentive. Only slight suggestion is a little TLC for the bathroom (stocked toilet paper, etc). Overall, a great experience. We will be back! read more

Love this place! Food is great, place is always clean and staff is friendly. Yes, the wait can sometimes be a bit on the longer side at times but totally worth it. I've tried the falafel, chicken shawarma and kofta. All deliciously flavor and cooked to perfection. Definitely a gem in the high desert. read more

The Don Kabob - Chicken Shawarma Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Victorville, California

So I am so late sending this out. I have this thing for finding good Mediterranean food in California and when I find a good restaurant or even a fast food restaurant I will let everyone know. So, Don kebob is more on the Egyptian side of the Mediterranean dishes, but the food was mouthwatering delicious and i loved the flavors. I can't wait to go back. also the owner was super sweet. I had no problem asking her questions about dishes. we engaged on authentic dishes for awhile while I was there. so for the high desert, this is my number one go to for Egyptian fast food dishes. Go try Don Kabob, tell them CeCee sent you. read more

Exquisite flavors! We had the falafel plate. I've had many a falafel and it's always a hit or miss, but this one is definitely different. It's an Egyptian Mediterranean style: Very unique recipe, very tasty. The rice was a-whole-nother level of aromatic flavors. The hummus and Tahini were just ok, not bad, but since those are what I look forward to when dining Mediterranean, it was kinda disappointing. BUT, the vegan garlic sauce made up for them both. More like a dine in fast-food vibe but the Egyptian music added to to the authenticity of the experience, (if you like Middle-Eastern music like I do). It is a little pricey but hands down the best Mediterranean food in the HD (that I've tried), and there are not too many to choose from out here. The portions are sized to satisfaction though. We'll be eating leftovers for dinner. Out of ALL the Mediterranean restaurants that i've tried, and i've tried quite a few, overall, I give the food a 9/10. read more

We were coming back home and found this halal place. It was so good and it tasted like back home. We got the shawarma wrap which had French fries inside, beef platter, and baklava. The baklava is so flavorful and has honey on the bottom that it takes you back home. There could have been more meat in the plate and wrap or even some spices. Overall the owner at the front was nice he was fast and brought the food to us. The ambiance is super nice because there are paintings on the wall. I just wish they had chai or tea or something. Other than that the best place in the IE!!! read more

Pros: food was really good. Portions were nice. Price was reasonable. Restaurant was clean with plenty of seating. Cons: service was extremely slow. There were only a few people waited no before us.We waited more than thirty minutes for our food. While we were waiting a couple mobile orders came in to pick up food, one couple canceled their order due to the fact it was well after the promised time and it still wasn't ready. Like I said the food was good, but don't go there unless you have a long time to wait! read more

The stuffed grape leaves are a 10/10. They have a little spice to it. I'll be back for more!!! My neighbor's grandmother would come from Egypt and make them and they honestly taste very similar minus the spicyness. The beef Sharma wrap is really good, I ask them to add garlic to it. Fast service and very friendly. read more

This food is amazing, juicy, tasty, not dried out like most kabobs you can buy. The staff was great, gave me substitutions. The food isn't fast food- it's cooked to order. Chicken kabobs, Egyptian kabobs, rice and salad. All tasty. read more

I will start by saying that the vast majority of food up in the desert is not cooked from scratch and it's hardly made for excellent flavor. 95% of the stuff is pushed out of kitchens without enthusiasm and you can taste the lack of care and passion. This place feels very different. It feels like you're going there to experience that food culture and to enjoy the moment. Excellent service and the host/owner was extremely kind and welcoming. When you enter there is a big board of 3 TV's for the menu and you have to get close to be able to see. That's right next to the kitchen and I can only imagine the wonderful aroma on a busy day. We walked in on the middle of a Tuesday and it wasn't busy. We looked at the menu, decided on the food, and anxiously awaiting what I know is some very delicious food cuisine. I wanted to see the spinning shawarma roasting, but I didn't see that. I didn't try to look, honestly. If it was up front and center or you could see the grill going then I can only imagine how it would excite the senses! Either way. We sat down and waited for the food. I was expecting hummus with my plate, but I was so pleasantly surprised with the garlic-yogurt sauce (I forget the name) but it was out of this world good. I left the restaurant and on the drive home was explaining how fresh garlic is just food for the soul. The chicken was seasoned well. Great flavor and tasted like it should. The sear on it was and added depth that I hadn't had from other places and it was very good to have. The pita was very unique and great as well. I just wish I had another one! I think my favorite thing besides all of that was just the general feel of the meal and eating in that place with this food. We had a variety of dishes, the color of the rice was part of the mood. It set a tone. The tahini sauce on the falafel was nearly as good as the garlic yogurt sauce. I just can't wait to go back. I encourage everyone, if you actually want good food in this region of California, go here and support them. They do it the way food is meant to be. read more

We paid $45 for two lunch chicken kabob plates. And no drink. Pretty skimpy portion of bird. Side salad was wilted. And the guy behind the counter seemed confused about what chicken breast was. read more

One of my favorites in the high desert! It's expensive but I can usually get two meals out of the chicken kabob plate, so that offsets things a bit. Their menu is wide, but I stick with what I know/like, so I'll just rave about the perfectly seasoned chicken kabob, amazing rice, phenomenal hummus, and delicious, warm pita bread! The little side salad is great, too, with fresh veggies and full of flavor. The HD is lucky to have this place! We like both locations, in Hesperia & Apple Valley, as the food is consistently good. The only drawback is it does take a while for the food, but I'll gladly wait for fresh food. read more

the food was so good! the lamb gyro and chicken shawarma were 10/10. definitely coming back (:

First time here so not sure if it's made inhouse, but Best. Pita. Ever!! It's warm and thick read more

Food is amazing but overpriced. They used to give you a small container of garlic sauce with your entrée but now they charge you a $1. 50. That seems unfair seeing as though they're charging more than $20 for each contract read more

We've been loyal customers since the beginning of the year, and at this point we know each item well, yet we still make it a point to try something new every visit. It's been really nice to see how much the owner has continued to step it up over time. The portions have become more generous, the quality of the food is consistently on point, and the new condiment compartment is such a thoughtful upgrade that shows attention to detail and customer experience. You can truly see the effort and pride being put into the business, and it doesn't go unnoticed. On top of that, the TikTok content has been proactive, engaging, and fun! It adds personality and keeps customers excited and connected. It's clear there's growth happening here, and we genuinely love supporting a place that listens, improves, and cares about its customers. We'll definitely continue coming back and recommending it to others. Thank you don kabob! read more

Good food all flavors were good and authentic tasting! We order online and the food is ready to pick up when we get there ! Staff was very polite read more

Very delicious many options but went either half beef half chicken and the cheese samosa simply delish.

We were debating between the taquito joint down the way and Don Kabob, taquito place was closed so we tried here! What a pleasant and great surprise! Our food was carefully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Hubby has Egyptian roots so the different spices used weren't a huge shock, but I could see someone being a-little unsure at first. I 100% recommend! We got the chicken shawarma wrap and steak kabob plate, we will defiantly be back to try more. read more
