TRUFFLE MAKER GRAINS BOWL 5/19/26
Michelle L.

I came here on a Tuesday at 1145am for lunch with my coworkers. Plaza - really convenient on Walnut/Culver right by the Trader Joe's & Smart & Final. Plenty of parking, but the area does get busy during peak hours like around lunch and dinner hours. Interior ambiance - it's nice & clean, but I wanted to sit outside that day since the weather was beautiful and there were plenty of tables and chairs with umbrellas right out front. Also, the restroom was very clean. Service was good, nothing outstanding but no complaints, efficient. I ordered a Truffle Maker Grain Bowls with Fire Hummus. It was good, healthy, and surprisingly really filling. I couldn't finish all the falafels, so I brought it to-go home for dinner. I'd come back to this or their other locations and I would recommend this as a quick, convenient and healthy to-go lunch spot. Portion sizing for the prices were pretty reasonable too.

Ordered chicken/ lamb plate with extra protein for chicken order

This is the amount of chicken I got. I ordered lamb/chicken with extra chicken protein for +$6 more. Very disappointed. I also ordered a Greek salad and they gave me Cesar dressing. Paid 25$ for the whole order.

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.

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.

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..

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!

Salad bowl
Dipu B.

Food is so tasty and delicious , I tried 1st time kabab with my family , service is amazing, ambience cool we will back to this location.

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.

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.

It took a minute to locate the restaurant and figure out parking, but once we arrived at the door, the experience was first-class from beginning to end. The hostess was charming and welcoming, the staff kept our waters filled and the table spotless, and our server, Juan, was outstanding. His knowledge of the menu, detailed descriptions, and personal recommendations made ordering easy and built our anticipation for every dish. We started by sharing the beet salad and Chicken Tinga Empanadas with the Gringo Killer Sauce. The beet salad was fresh and beautifully balanced, while the empanadas were packed with rich, savory flavor. The Gringo Killer Sauce added a bold kick that made them especially memorable. My wife ordered the wedge salad, my daughter chose the Grilled Octopus Al Pastor, and I had the 8 oz Picanha special. Every dish was exceptional. The octopus was a creative and flavorful take on al pastor, and the Picanha special was perfectly cooked, tender and was an absolute standout. Everything was so impressive that I sent my compliments to the chef and was fortunate enough to meet Chef Jackie personally. Then came dessert. Juan described a peach cobbler special that immediately had my mouth watering, while my daughter ordered the Espresso Crème Brûlée. Juan returned to our table with three plates and spoons and informed me that Chef Jackie has recommended her specialty. I did not argue, Chef knows best. She surprised me by sending out something different: a slice of Baklava Cheesecake accompanied by a scoop of house-made peach cobbler ice cream. Now, I have eaten some outstanding cheesecakes all around the world, but this Baklava Cheesecake was on an entirely different level. It was rich, layered, perfectly textured and flaky, and so unbelievably delicious that I nearly licked the plate clean. The house-made peach cobbler ice cream was equally impressive--light and creamy, yet captured the full peach cobbler flavor. The Espresso Crème Brûlée was also beautifully executed, with a crisp caramelized sugar shell and a deep, smooth coffee-flavored custard. My daughter ate half of hers before turning her attention to the cheesecake, and she does not even like cheesecake. That alone should tell you how special it was. I live three hours away, but I will absolutely be making the drive back. Lemon & Thyme delivers exceptional food, thoughtful hospitality, creative dishes, and the kind of personal service that turns a meal into a lasting memory. This is my new favorite restaurant!!! Do yourself a favor and make the trip to Lemon & Thyme. Ask for Juan, trust Chef Jackie, and do not leave without desert. Chef Jackie, Juan and the rest of the staff, thank you for the amazing experience!!!

The menu isn't large but there is a range of different options . Everything we had excellent. My husband had grilled octopus Al Pastor and I had Short Rib Ravioli with a Demi glaze that was so full of flavor. They offer a nice wine list as well. Our server Robert, was great. Because of the location, you can drive right by it and not notice it . Please take the time to try this neighborhood gem.You won't be sorry.
