Clean establishment and friendly staff. Ill be coming back to this location in the future.

Great Food and Service. Clean place with good music. Great location, outside indoor seating..

Ordering at kiosk was easy; employees helpful; service was quick. I ordered only grilled veggies (side) and pita as I just needed small lunch, and the food was fine. Veggies could have a bit more seasoning, but I could add a spicy sauce which boosted flavor. read more

TKS always has amazing food, top quality service, with friendly and helpful staff and I'm so pleased that this location in Escondido opened up! Their deal for 1 bowl + 1 wrap w/ 2 sides was awesome and an incredible value pick! The whole store had really chill vibes! (Also don't forget to grab one of their brownies, they are so so good! They're extremely soft and fudgy in all the best ways!) read more

Great service! Juana was so so helpful and patient with us. The food is so fresh.... We got a custom wrap and a protein bowl. Delicious! Large portions too! We will definitely come back! read more

I'm a big fan of mediterranean food, so i was excited to try this place out on my way home from San Diego. Unfortunately, has a very bad experience. I ordered a build your own bowl and the chicken tasted like it was refrigerated for a long time. Had such a bad aftertaste that left me feeling a bit sick after. I asked for a water cup and their water from their dispenser tasted soooo bad. read more

I had the Grilled Sirloin Steak Bowl, and it was really good. The steak was flavorful, the ingredients were fresh, and the portion was satisfying. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. They checked in during the meal to make sure everything was good and if we needed anything, which made the experience even better. Overall, everything was well done, and I was very happy with the visit. read more

The Kebab Shop - Mediterranean Near Me - Escondido, California

Kebab Shop is a fast casual chain in San Diego that specializes in Middle Eastern/Mediterranean wraps and bowls. This specific location is located in a mall plaza in Escondido with plenty of parking. Ambiance & Service: Kebab Shop is known for keeping a very clean, bright environment. I think every location I've been to has been kept super clean which is a huge plus for me, particularly for a chain restaurant. Shows commitment to quality and service. The workers are always really nice as well, and I even had one server check in on how my meal was. Again, rare for a chain restaurant to have that level of care. Food: I usually get the wraps when I frequent Kebab Shop. Quality of food is excellent especially for the usual price point. Fries are always crispy and stay crispy for the duration of the meal. They also offer a variety of different sauces which is another plus. Lastly, it was a mini rush when I arrived, and the food still came out pretty quick. Summary: Kebab Shop is honestly one of my favorite chain restaurants; I love their attention to detail and care of service, food quality, efficiency, and affordable prices. Highly recommend this to people who are looking for a quick, affordable, and delicious meal that also won't make you feel unhealthy (depending on what you order or add onto your order). read more

The Kebab Shop - Shrimp wrap and fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Escondido, California

Perfect stop before the Safari Park. We like that kids eat free on weekends, it's $7 but you have to order a drink too, so about a $4 discount. The bowl is pretty big for our toddler. It comes with your choice of meat (2oz) and 2 sides- we usually get fries and rice. He likes the chicken more than the beef/lamb. As for adults, we usually get the wraps. I like the lamb/beef wrap. The pieces are sliced thin. I got the chicken swarma and it was quite bland here. Wish they added a bit seasoning. But nothing that their sauces can't fix. Love their yogurt and spicy sauce. Staff here is better trained than the SM one. If using the kids free option, order at counter. iPad doesn't have that option. read more

Always delicioso food that is only surprassed by the attentive and kindly nature of the staff. Recommend highly

I'd give it 3.5 stars. Definitely better than your everyday fast food, and healthier too. I will say there are other similar places i enjoy better, but the food is still good. I do think the price point is a bit too high, almost $20 for a bowl from a cafeteria style restaurants is too much in my opinion, but maybe that's just where we are headed with restaurants now. One thing that's a bit disappointing is that the menu isn't quite accurate. It doesn't list some of the add ons like the spicy hummus and one or 2 other items. The server was friendly and when i asked about the items, and she was able to add it. read more

I used to have to drive 20 minutes to the nearest TKS and now they are in my town! Ugh I was so excited to come here! As soon as we walked in the restaurant was so clean and inviting and all the pictures videos on the wall make you so excited to try everything! We walked up to the kiosk to order which was so nice because there are so many options and it's much easier to pick them for yourself on the kiosk! We ordered a costumized bowl with Falafel, saffron rice and baby greens and the San Diego Wrap with carved lamb and beef. The bowl was so good and fresh with the cucumbers and their O.G. Yogurt sauce and Cilantro Jalapeño sauce that was self serve. The saffron rice was fresh and was definitely high in quality! The Falafel was so good! Fried to perfection and made the whole bowl feel so light and fresh! The San Diego Wrap was also amazing! The fries inside we good, there wasn't too much or too little which I enjoyed! And the cucumbers again just radiate such freshness in every bite! We mixed the O.G Yogurt sauce and Jalapeño sauce and it was so good! The servers were so kind when I asked for a to go lid for my bowl. And they never fail to say hello or good bye! Over all this place never misses the mark! Above and beyond everytime! read more

Stopped in to pick up lunch on my lunch break, and wanted to try somewhere new that just opened. The shop is very open and clean, also located in a great spot to get lunch and run errands. The cashier was very nice and helpful when I ordered. I ordered a carved chicken bowl with rice and fries, lettuce, cucumbers and their OG yogurt sauce. It was quick from order to receiving my food. Unfortunately when I got home to eat, I noticed they left out the cucumbers which is a bummer. The fries they also put directly into the bowl, I guess I need to remember to ask for it on the side, but that was an error on my side, not so much theirs since I didn't clarify. The food was ok, it felt lacking in the sense that portion size for the size of the bowl and its content for the price you pay was ok. The OG yogurt sauce was probably the best thing in the bowl. Maybe that with just some chicken and rice would have been better. Would consider coming back if I was craving Mediterranean styled food and didn't want to drive to San Marcos for my usual go to spot. read more

So glad that we finally got a location in Esco! Before I had to go to RB or Carmel Mountain if I wanted TKS. This took the Chipotle spot when Chipotle took the spot across the street where Burger King went out. Restaurant hopscotch, lol. It's on the edge of the Target Auto Parkway location, which has a ton of other food options. So hopefully it does well. My order is usually a wrap or a bowl, with carved lamb/beef, or kofta. I had the steak this time, but probably wouldn't order again because it was cooked more than I like and had some gristle in it. It also was the most expensive protein, so my wrap ended up being almost $19. The fries in my wrap were also cooked too much. They were almost like those dried Pik Nik potatoes that come in a can. I'll probably skip the fries next time too, since those are also an upcharge. I do love the flavors, though. That's why I come back. read more

Great fresh food and service! Thanks to the staff at this Escondido location. Good music and clean dining area!

Came in here last night at about 8:20pm with my husband and a friend for quick dinner bite. I've been to this Kabob Shop and the one in Mission Valley several times. Food was consistent, as always. However the service was extremely poor. When I ordered our food, the woman at the register asked if it was for "here" or "to go." I stated that it was for here and she immediately and firmly responded with, "We close at 9." I said okay, put my receipt in my pocket and went to grab the table number she assigned me only to realize there were 2 different ones. I asked her which one was mine, #8 or #12. She looked at me and I asked again and then she firmly told me to check the number on my receipt. Again, fair, but she had a rude tone and look to her. I took my table number and went to the drink station. I grabbed a condiment cup to grab some of the garlic yogurt and spicy cilantro sauce only to notice that the sauce station was already packed away 30 minutes prior to closing. I went to grab a table for us and figured I'd just ask for the sauce once our food came. I noticed at least 3 of the tables were dirty. My husband needed to use the restroom while we waited for our food and the bathroom was already locked up for the evening and they weren't allowing anyone to use it. Once our food was ready, since we were given a table number to take with us, we thought they'd bring the food out. The woman at the back counter mumbled a number and when I looked at her confused she mumbled the number again. We just assumed there must be something up with our food order and our friend went up and ended up retrieving her food. A few minutes later someone brought out mine and my husband's food without calling out a number. Weird. We were still out of the restaurant by 8:55pm and someone that's worked in retail/food service, I never had any intention of staying past close, but they made the entire experience feel awkward and unwelcome. Overall, it was by far the worst experience I've had a Kebab Shop. I won't be going back for a very long time. read more

Place was Open and airy. Big portions for plate menu, which were great, but we had to pay extra for pita bread. Service was good..once someone was told we were at the register. We noticed those working the orders seemed either overwhelmed or not organized. Food was ok - saffron rice tasted flat with little seasoning. We probably won't return. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but after eating here on Tuesday night don't think I'll be going back. I order a bowl with rice and the usual fixings along with their new shrimp. My sone got the kids fries order and my boyfriend got something with fries and beef. It was good at the moment but once we got home I got sick. The restroom became my beacon my sanctuary, went to the doctors and confirmed that I got food poisoning. I will say the guy that took our order was kind and suggested something's. However, I feel like one of workers energy was off because the whole time being there she just looked unhappy and angry. read more

Another 5-star experience here. From the manager checking in on us to the tasty food that never disappoints, everything was on point. Miguel cooked my food and he killed it. It's always been great, but this guy really knows what he's doing. Fantastic attitude from the entire staff. We will be back as usual. They also have a great rewards program. Don't miss out. Ambiance always good, I just need that heat cranked up please. One suggestion is get some fake sugar sweeteners for the non-sugar users like me. That would be wow. read more

Americanized version of Mediterranean food. It's okay, but the taste/ flavor was just so disappointing. I ate bc it was 25$ chicken plate with salad and saffron rice and a side of veggies. The veggies were the best part. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't good either. Very underwhelming. I wouldn't recommend it or suggest it to anyone. 2 stars bc the service was good and quick. The staff was friendly great and seemed hard working in front and back of house. It's not their fault the recipes they have to follow aren't very good. I waited maybe 4 minutes, so chicken was probably already precooked and not fresh. The food was edible but not tasty. Boring rice, boring chicken. I'm from Temecula and there we have papa feta and kabob shack in Temecula that are absolutely amazing. Sorry. read more

Oh my! This place is so good, I HAD TO order Uber Eats because I had a craving and couldn't leave the house. Everything was healthy, fresh, flavorful, and portion size appropriate. Definitely replaces Chipotle in my book! I will order again and again. read more

Upon arrival we were greeted at the register. It was our first time in to this location so we were had questions and offered suggestions which was helpful and appreciated. I got the salad bowl with baby greens and chicken tenderloin. We got the cilantro jalapeño humus, pita and chickpea salad. All of the food tasted really good and fresh. Miguel and his cooking crew were really friendly and helped me out with some extra pita on the side too. The ambiance is clean and it was pretty chill when we went. They also have a variety of self serve sauces available which I loved. read more

Got a chicken shawarma wrap with rice. It was really big and so good! The dill yogurt and cilantro sauces were great. Love the pickled red onions and purple cabbage inside.
