    I love Mediterranean food, and The Kebab Shop is no exception. I like to order the chicken Doner Kebab, char-grilled with seasoning after being marinated for hours. This food taste is reminiscent of Italy or some place else, where peeps eat healthy Med Diets. The Lamb is also of interest, cuts of meats, formed and grilled together on a spit. I love these delicious morsels! This is where I find myself going over and over when in the area. Enjoy health!

    Chicken shawarma San Diego wrap
    Elisa L.

    The chicken shawarma San Diego wrap is my go to! It's huge and filling and my sister and I always share and we're stuffed. The chicken shawarma is nicely flavorful and all the veggies inside were fresh and loaded. I had tzatziki dip inside but it's a bit sour and salty for my taste, as well as the feta cheese, so I would opt out next time. You order easily on a kiosk and service is pretty quick. Tons of indoor and outdoor seating.

    Omg it's the best of the best San Diego best restaurant The service it's extremely professional and very knowledgeable Jenny and Omar was so helpful and very professional. I will definitely planning to come back.

    THE WRAP San Diego
    David S.

    Quick, tasty and filling? All boxes checked here. Don't expect anything super fancy but the wrap is a very generous size. I highly recommend the San Diego wrap which adds a little crunch factor from the fries and always opt for the grilled chicken tenderloin. Add just a bit, or a lot of the OG yogurt sauce and you're in business. Ordering is speedy and food also comes out pretty quickly. The staff is very helpful as well. There are self serve sauce stations and a beverage area and plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor. Even though this is not a fancy spot, it's relatively clean. The trash bins however, next to the sauce station were overfilled. Overall you can't complain for solid food and reasonably priced.

    One of the main reasons I keep coming back to Kabob Shop is because of Marlon. He is always fast, polite, and genuinely attentive. Every time I visit, he goes out of his way to make me feel welcome--whether it's offering a cup of water while I wait or making sure everything is just right with my order. The food itself is excellent, full of flavor, and truly authentic to the Mediterranean style. Everything I've tried has been fresh, delicious, and cooked to perfection. On top of that, the whole staff is incredibly friendly, hardworking, and dedicated to making customers happy. It's a place where you not only enjoy amazing food but also feel valued and taken care of.

    A new Mediterranean spot in San Diego? Say less…read more I came here with friends, and it was a first-time visit for all of us. The moment we walked in, the space made an impression. The decor is gorgeous, warm, and stylish, with beautiful blue tones throughout -- which already won me over because blue is my favorite color. Our server, Emily, was fantastic. She was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely added to the experience. Great service can make a good meal better, and she absolutely did that. Now let's talk about the food, because they did not miss. At all. I ordered the salmon, and it was masterfully prepared. Perfect texture, full of flavor, and the sauce was the kind of sauce you keep going back to even after you swear you're done. My friends had the lamb, chicken, and beef plates, and everything at the table looked and tasted like it was made with real care. The salads were crisp and fresh, and the dressings were bright, flavorful, and balanced. And then there was the espresso martini. Honestly? Best I've ever had. No notes. The owners and staff were also genuinely kind and welcoming, which gave the whole experience that extra "we'll definitely be back" feeling. This is officially my new favorite Mediterranean restaurant in San Diego.

The menu was a bit confusing, but I know that I like grilled veggies and Greek salad and then Ike was able to pick my protein that I wanted so that seemed easy enough. The base price with falafel or chicken Shawarma was Close to $16 but since I chose the meat, they added two dollars to my total. It took about 10 minutes for them to assemble my meal, but my veggies were cooked fresh on the stove, which was really nice. They tasted very freshly cooked just as they would as if I had cooked them myself at home. I was there about 1245 on a Monday and there were a few people there and they had some takeout orders so my order took about 10 minutes before I could walk out the door with it. They had a nice condiment bar where you could pick out some yogurt with dill sauce and then they're famous garlic yogurt sauce, as well as a jalapeño sauce And another spicy hot one that I would never try. When I got back to the jury room to eat my meal, I saw that there was a nice quantity of the fresh salad and the grilled vegetables but the meat was piled high! The employees were working efficiently and the place was spotless and orderly.

I thought maybe I'll get it without the pickles next time. However, after eating I got an unexpected headache that usually comes from ingestion of MSG. The fries were tasty... maybe there was MSG in those? Not sure. I've honestly had much better phenomenal shawarma in San Joes CA. I have yet to find a great Shawarma here in San Diego.

The downside of this place was being seated on the right side of the restaurant near the carry out section. This was the pit of despair. I noticed that most of the staff goes to the other end first, and as a result 4 tables got seated after us and all of them had food on their table before we managed to flag one of the staff. It was definitely busy in there but he replied that he was simply going in order, but apparently order or left side to right side instead of arrival. I recommend trying to get seated on the side w the stained glass windows for better service. Other than that, the experience overall was pleasant.
