    Protein Bowl with Saffron Chicken
    Emily T.

    This restaurant is located in the Brokaw plaza across the street from Brokaw Commons which is a great location with a bunch of surrounding restaurants. The interior is super spacious with plenty of seating and they have a self-ordering kiosk which I always prefer (nothing against the staff, they are very friendly and welcoming!) I ordered the protein bowl with saffron chicken and added tzatziki sauce as well - soooo good! The chicken is tender and flavorful and the tzatziki sauce is on par with the ones I've tried in Greece. In my opinion, tzatziki sauce can either make or break a meal and they've really got it down. I'd like to mention though that since the protein bowl already came with hummus and garlic yogurt, adding on the tzatziki sauce made my bowl too saucy (that was my bad) so next time I'll switch out the garlic yogurt. Luckily, the staff were so very kind to give me a side of greens to mix in so I could balance it out - 10/10 customer service. I also took a bite of my fiancé's Super Duper Wrap with grilled sirloin steak and that was amazing as well. Overall, it was a great dining experience and we will be back again.

    Came here on my day off and was always interested in it as I always pass by this shop. Plate plate with saffron rice and hummus. My protein was the chicken. It's a bit pricey for lunch but it's filling. I got a whole tub of hummus.

    Food is delicious! I haven't been here in a few years and the menu was different. Not it a bad way, a lot more on the menu than what I remember. I ordered the super duper wrap and was not expecting it to be as big as it was! It was good, the chicken shawarma was great, vegetables and sauce complimented it well with the fries. I put the hammer down on it and stuffed. My wife ordered the kebab fries and a grains bowl she ended up taking to go. No complaints! Everything was a hit! The only downfall was the soda machine. All the sodas seemed over pressure or low in gas. Most of the syrups were low so we settled on orange fanta. Tables and seats were clean, the sauce bar was neat and everything complimented the meal. Employees were also friendly and answered any questions with patience.

    My husband and I stopped by for a quick lunch. I ordered a bowl with grilled kofta and various veggies and my husband got a bowl with fries, chicken, and veggies. Everything was really good. I also loved the yogurt sauce. I felt like it tied everything together perfectly. The inside is modern, clean, and has a comfortable vibe. It's in a great location with plenty of parking, which is always a plus. The service was also great. The cashier was super friendly, and our food came out quickly. Overall, a great spot for a tasty, casual meal. We'll definitely be back to try a few more things next time.

    Crave Fries

    Great food, spotty service. Came here for an impromptu dinner with my sister who has been RAVING about The Kebab Shop. Shout out to her for always eagerly introducing me to good eats and shout out to her gf who did the initial introduction to her. [Hopefully that makes sense. LOL.] Nestled in between Rubios and Bolitful Fresh Kitchen in the shopping complex neighboring Brokaw Commons, The Kebab Shop offers Mediterranean + Middle Eastern cuisine. Parking can be a little tough but you're bound to get a hit after circling the lot a few times. Our party of two arrived on weekday @ about 7pm. There were 2 other parties already dining and seating is available inside and out. We approach the register and look over the menu. No greet, no nod, no acknowledgment whatsoever coming from the staff who is off to the far left preparing food. We stood around for quite some time even after we had already decided on what to get- still no word from staff. We were left just standing around until a gentleman finally makes his way over to the register area. The order for the night: *SUPER DUPER WRAP w/ MIXED CARVED MEATS- made with hummus, fries, picked onions, cilantro jalapeno sauce *CRAVE FRIES- fries topped with feta cheese, garlic yogurt, + pickled onions. *Fountain Drink x2 Food: Portions here are MASSIVE. The food here can easily be shared and our party of two still had leftovers. Granted, the meal was very carb-y. The super duper wrap was great- the carved meats were tender, flavorful, and each bite was so very balanced. The crave fries were delicious- very filling, flavors married with each other magically, and the fries were a good amount of crisp/fluff. I couldn't stop eating this. 4 solid stars for the food but the lack of recognition to customers could not be overlooked. During our visit, I noticed a patron almost leaving due to the long wait and another lady who had been standing around for a good amount of time finally flagged a worker asking if she was supposed to order @ the register area. Being short staffed is understandable [if that was the case] but a simple "i'll be right with you" or some kind of acknowledgement would really go a long way. 3 stars for the overall experience.

    Lamb beef plate with rice and salad
    Kristine S.

    Been a while since I've come here. Service is always a hit or miss but it is a self kiosk. Food is good and the sauces are great. Combine all three sauces and it just elevates the meat. I did forget the sumac so next time. Plenty of seating as well.

    Carved chicken, falafel, brown rice
    Alfred L.

    Stopped by The Kebab Shop and ordered a plate with carved chicken, falafel, and brown rice. The food was solid--the brown rice was cooked well, the falafel had a nice crunchy exterior with a fluffy inside, and the chicken was flavorful and not too dry, which can be hard to get right. Overall, a good meal with well-prepared ingredients. Nothing mind-blowing, but definitely a spot I'd return to when craving Mediterranean food.

    The kebab shop is a place I have always been wanting to try! I'm soo happy I finally got to try this place out. I got the salad with grilled chicken, greens,onions with spicy hummus sauce and the yogurt sauce I believe. I would say the salad is very filling however the chicken was a bit dry. The sauces were really good and I wish I had more of it. When you order for pick up I would say they are pretty fast with getting the order ready. I however picked up my order but I would love to have sat there and ate my food. I would definitely come back here again because not only did I love their food I loved the restaurant set up.

    Chickpea salad
    Jasmin S.

    Amazing service! Jorge was so helpful and explained the menu to me since it was my first time here. The restaurant is super clean and the food is delicious. I got a wrap with chicken shwarma and a side of the chickpea salad.

I finally decided to give it a try after hearing about the restaurant from food reviewer Dave fiore text. As someone who absolutely loves tacos and is always on the hunt for great local taco spots, I was excited to see how this place compared to some of my favorites. I ordered four different tacos, and overall, they were pretty good. They weren't bad by any means, but they also didn't quite blow me away. The meat was cooked well, the tortillas were fresh, and the tacos had good flavor. The salsa was decent too, although I personally prefer something with a little more kick. Everyone has different tastes, so this is just my opinion. One thing I really appreciated was how clean and organized the restaurant was. You can tell they take pride in keeping the dining area nice and welcoming. The staff was friendly, and my food came out quickly. It's always a good sign when a restaurant pays attention to both cleanliness and customer service. I've eaten at a lot of taco places throughout the Bay Area, so I naturally compare every new place to some of my favorites. While El Halal Mexican Restaurant didn't make the top of my list, I still had a good experience and I'm glad I finally gave it a shot. Not every restaurant has to be your favorite to be worth visiting. I also like supporting family-owned businesses because I know how much hard work goes into running a local restaurant. They deserve credit for creating a clean, welcoming place and serving quality food. Will I come back? Maybe. If I do, I'd probably try something different on the menu instead of the tacos. Sometimes a restaurant's best dish isn't the first thing you order, and I'd be interested in seeing what else they have to offer. Overall, I'd give El Halal Mexican Restaurant a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It was a good experience, I'm happy I finally got to try it, and if you're in the Willow Glen area, it's worth stopping by and deciding for yourself.

When I went up to ask him why the food was taking so long, he handed me the order - all packed to-go, even though we didn't state that we wanted our order to-go EXCEPT for the manakish. He said he'd make our food again, but just handed the two bowls in their to-go containers without the lid, and hastily placed the wrap on a plate. The manakish was also plated, even though that was something we wanted to-go. The cashier claimed that he'd make a new manakish for us, but it turns out he lied and didn't do so! There was no accountability, apology, or consolation from ANY of the restaurant staff. In fact, they were just standing around in the kitchen. As for the food, the portions were big but the steak in my bowl was really bland, and there was too much hummus overpowering everything. My dad said his chicken wrap was really dry. The manakish was a bit soggy (because it was sitting in a cardboard box out of the oven for 45 minutes) too. Our total for four items and a frustrating experience was $87. Iraklis and Dish N Dash are just 10 minutes away - go there to be actually respected as a person and have a pleasant dining experience.

I ordered their chili lamb kabob which was tender and juicy. It had lots of flavor from the spices but enough to where it wasn't overwhelming. I ordered it on top of a pillow of rice which was fluffy and buttery textured. It was delicious. There are sauce bottles to pair with the meats which is my favorite part. I really liked their white creamy yogurt sauce mixed with their red house chili sauce. It gave my lamb meat so much flavor and some heat. I loved my order and will definitely order two next time. I also want to try their steaks. They take their time grilling their meats so orders can take a short while. It's worth it for sure. No complaints here but I do wish they played some light music in the background for some ambiance. Things can be real quiet in here so it can be awkward dining in. Other than that, I really like this place and will be back for more.

I was kicking myself after leaving for not remembering to ask for no onion, only to discover that, thankfully, they didn't put raw onion on it!

It's better that I didn't, and now I can't wait to go back again and try more things, like the shawarma fries! Parking can be difficult so be prepared to hunt and maybe walk a bit.

    Was looking for a place I hadn't been to try out and my son found Shawarmaji which had great…read morereviews. Big fan of shawarma, so gave it a go. First off, parking is a pain, but not unusual for places in this area. And the place, it's sort of a hole in the wall. As a general fan of holes in the wall, didn't bother me, but if you need a place to be spotless and comfortable, maybe not for you. 3 of us, so got the chicken wrap, lamb/beef wrap and lamb/beef arabi style. The best thing was the fries. Perfectly fried and seasoned. The wraps were good. The chicken had a ton of cinnamon, where even my son who loves it was saying, "that's a lot of cinnamon". The lamb/beef was good. Both wraps were big, well built, had great meat to veg to sauce ratio throughout and did not come across too dry like other places. Ask for the spicy sauce. The drinks were interesting. My wife got one of the Freez drinks, which she said was ok. I got a Vimto which had artificial sweeteners in it, which I hate. Serves me right for having a "when in Rome" attitude and not reading the can. Overall, it was good, but would I drive over to go again, probably not. To me, it didn't live up to the hype (3.5 stars and I rounded up), and didn't really set itself apart from other places that are a little cheaper, or more expensive places that are a little better.
