    Shawarma bowl
    Joe B.

    Very good, very fresh, very clean, very large portions, all the good, very's. You need to give The Kebab Shop a try. It's like a very good Mediterranean version of Chipotle. You pick your base - wrap, bowl or plate and then pick a protein. I suggest the grilled chicken or steak. Spencer got the steak wrap and it was massive, Amy tried the chicken shawarma rice bowl and loved it, I tried the Mediterranean grilled chicken Plate and devoured that thing. The service was great. The cashier was very helpful suggesting menu items. They also have a sauce bar that's really great. TKS did not disappoint.

    Protein PLATE
    Sepideh S.

    The Kebab Shop is one of my go-to spots for a quick, reliable meal. I usually order the chicken kebab wrap, and recently I've been loving their new protein bowls. The quality is consistently solid across locations. I typically DoorDash, but since my office is nearby now, I dined in recently. The GSM who just started was incredibly welcoming, the food came out quickly, and even though this isn't a full-service restaurant, he still came by to check if I needed anything. That extra level of attentiveness really stood out. Overall, fast, consistent, and always a dependable option.

    PROTEIN BOWL with Steak
    Brigitte M.

    Protein, protein, protein! Got the protein bowl with Steak, which got me 40g of protein. Comes with salad, hummus, and other toppings and sauces. Pretty good overall. Didn't eat in, so can't speak to service or ambiance.

    Their falafels are tasty and moist inside. The lamb is seasoned nicely. The steak was slightly dry, but the Caesar Crunch bowl is good. The Shrimp Greens bowl was okay. I had to add some extra sauces to make it right for me. We ordered and somehow the guy didn't hear me order the shrimp bowl. Someone that ordered after us got his food. Then the steak bowl came. I was sitting there with sauces lined up next to me ready to eat but my bowl didn't come. I asked when it would be ready and he said he didn't put in that order. He did offer a side of lamb and falafels for the mistake. That's when I found out their falafels are tasty and the lamb is worth coming back to try with a meal.

    Gyro, chopped chicken, zucchini
    Betty G.

    So we had TKS lunch catering yesterday. It was great. We had chicken kabobs, gyro meat, falafel and chopped chicken, which I believe is the dark meat chicken. My favorite was, of course, the kabobs, because it's all white meat, which I believe is healthier (because it's all lean meat). I didn't have any of the dark meat chicken but that appeared to also be popular with our staff. There were also several side dishes: salad, yellow rice, cubed zucchini (delish!), bread, etc. Everything was good.

    Steak salad bowl
    Lianne L.

    Got a salad bowl with steak and flavor was really good but portion was kinda small and it was a little pricey. Steak was about 5 cubes of meat, but really good tho! Idk if I would come again or recommend because of the portion/price ratio..

    I ordered a Chicken Shawarma Plate through Uber Eats. I paid extra for Grilled Chicken. However, my order did not come with Chicken Shawarma which is the main item nor Dill Yogurt which made it hard to eat.

    The plate with sirloin
    George S.

    Honestly I want to root for these guys but can't because it's becoming a McDonald's experience One location will do a better the other one will do it worse and the food is tasting bland not my best experience and I know kabob. I had it delivered through doordash and it was overcooked and it wasn't a really good food taste I wish I would just get better quality meat.

    Beef plate
    Flor P.

    Tried The Kebab Shop for the first time and it did not disappoint. I had the wrap with carved chicken and also tried the beef kebab plate. Both had good portions, were super flavorful, and the sauces added a nice twist, everything tasted really fresh. Customer service was great. The staff was helpful, and seemed genuinely happy to assist. The space was clean, open, and had plenty of seating, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, a good spot for a fresh, meal. Definitely would come back!

    Foods so good here. Highly recommend. Ingredients are fresh and service is spot on. Also the bathroom is clean.

    Surf and Turf plate.  YUM!
    Lydia N.

    Always enjoy the food here at TKS. Got my normal...Surf and Turf plate. So healthy and flavorful. The service at this location is exceptionally great! Jeffery was hustling and working hard to take care of the customers as it was crowded when I was there. He was helpful and friendly to everyone. Love that the ambiance is bright and airy.

    carved chicken and lamb beef
    Samantha L.

    The service here is super quick and the portions are solid. I usually go for the carved chicken or the carved lamb and beef, both are flavorful and satisfying. The sauces are a must since the protein can be a little dry on its own. The flavors overall are great, and their rice is surprisingly good. It's one of those spots that hits the spot when you want something hearty and fast.

    Well, I think I have a new favorite Persian kabob restaurant! It's pretty far from home, but I…read morecould easily work it into the flight path so to speak, between the Tustin REI and 17th Street in Costa Mesa. Located in a small but busy plaza, HOK is a small, potentially packed restaurant with a few tables outside. About half full mid afternoon on a Saturday, i got a table and quickly made a decision to try the combination plate with a chicken and kubideh kabob, with rice. Next time I'll branch out, but this first sample provided much pleasure and evidence that they can't do anything wrong (except be closed when I'm craving more ;) A few minutes after placing my order the warm flatbread came out with butter. Comparatively, many other Persian restaurants use Lavash sections, so I enjoyed the contrast. The neighboring table of four received their plates one at a time, so I figured the kitchen and grill were probably also fairly constricted like the lobby. Nonetheless, it didn't take long and the generous, colorful portions were a sight to behold! The first thing I noticed was how moist and tender both kabobs were. Not burnt or dry anywhere on either type. That's attributable to the elevated method of grilling, but here the chef has it down to a science. The second observation came later when I didn't feel excessively thirsty, or bloated, ir dehydrated. Some restaurants really brine the meat while marinating, but here it's another level of perfection. Good service and a reasonable price, although the menu prices might be behind current food costs. Still, it was totally worth it. I didn't have a way to keep leftovers in a safe temperature range, so I ate everything. Full, but not stuffed.

Before you visit, keep these things in mind: 1. This is a ghost kitchen, not a full-service restaurant. It's best for takeout and delivery. There are only a few chairs outside--just four in total. 2. Ordering is entirely self-service via a digital kiosk, with no staff on hand to assist you. 3. There are no bathrooms available anywhere on-site. Regarding the food, it was just okay-- a bit underwhelming, especially given that Lebanese cuisine is typically so flavorful. The chicken was dry, the hummus lacked depth, and the rice was bland. That said, the fattoush salad, one of my favorites, was very good, with a delicious dressing. Overall, I can't say I'd return. The prices were quite high for the portions, and the quality didn't meet my expectations. If you're looking for a quick Lebanese meal, this place is a decent option, but don't expect much more than that.

No where is this mentioned. Didn't even tell me over the phone. Do you think they are cashless in Istanbul? Just absolutely ridiculous. The woman tells me just this time she will accept cash.
