    San Diego, The Fire wraps and a side of fries
    James P.

    Came earlier this evening on Wednesday 2/5 and ordered two wraps. Not sure if the employee who prepared and rolled our wraps is brand new or was having a bad day but these wraps were not up to their recent standards. My last 4-5 visits - the wraps were made perfectly and this place has become back in my weekly rotation. Going to chalk this one up as a one off but wanted to provide feedback so this individual can get the necessary training. To summarize our wraps - there was a lack of meat. I ordered the chicken tenderloin and there must have been a total of 6 pieces in that entire wrap. I had to re-check my wrap after a few bites, it almost felt like I was eating a veggie wrap. The few pieces of meat that was put in there was all on the very right side of the wrap. They normally wrap it properly where each bite is consistent. My wife's wrap had the same issues as well. Going to continue to come here but if this is going to be new standard, going to have to opt out.

    Service was distant. The area where the cutlery are were out of forks, so Gavin had to go up to ask for one. Instead of giving him 2 forks, he had to wait for it to be stocked. The restaurant was fair, not completely clean but I blame the patrons for it. The falafels were ok. I had to use a lot of their sauce to moisten them. The rice was flavorful. Gavin's chicken was tasty, he said. The hummus and pita were delicious. Overall experience was ok. We did not like the service.

    I thought The Kebab Shop was excellent. This place has been on my radar to try for a very long time and it did not disappoint. I had the Chicken Shawarma Wrap and it was very good and huge! I could not believe how big it was and I really felt like I got my moneys worth. I can't wait to go back to try their other dishes.

    Not the biggest portion of fries, but everything tastes good together.

    We passed by here a few times and checked out pictures of their food. The fries always looked delicious so we finally tried them out. Crave Fries | $5.50 A yummy bowl of fries topped with yogurt sauce, feta cheese, mint, and red onions. Everything goes together very well. Wish they filled up the bowl with fries though, especially since it's a smaller container than what they used to use based on older pictures on Yelp. Potatoes are a cheap starch after all. I originally wanted to get meat on the fries too but that's an extra +$8 just for a small bit of meat. The bowl the fries are served in is just a small brown bowl and the fries don't even fill it to the top. So I can just imagine that it wouldn't be a good portion of meat either. But anyway, just the Crave Fries are good enough. Would recommend trying those over normal fries.

    The food is really tasty. I recommend the saffron rice with the bowl or wrap. The spot has a lot of room for indoor and outdoor seating as well.

    I'm a bit sad that the points system for the Kebab Shop expires at the end of the year rather than one year from the date of purchase because I thought I had some points from October but saw that it was just 0 points and that the points that I accrued from my most recent visit is valid till Dec 31. I've tried their plates, bowls, and wraps and their wraps are usually my favorite; however, the same cannot be said for my most recent visit where I need to assess whether or not it's worth it to come here anymore. I had a chicken wrap and the contents of the wrap were fine but you could definitely tell that they had accidentally burnt the wrapper and pinched off the burnt bubbles to make my wrap. So all I really tasted was "burntness". I tried adding the cilantro jalapeno sauce to cover up the burntness but that didn't really work out all that well. Mainly only saying it might not be worth it due to the price point for the wrap where I could have gotten a whole meal from the Habit Burger next door. ~~Parking: Located in a strip mall. There's not that much parking in front of the actual restaurant but if you go towards the side with Ulta and the Bass Pro Shops there's much more parking. ~~Service: Ok. Though I wish they just made me a new tortilla for the wrap. ~~Best Part: The cilantro jalapeno sauce ~~Worst Part: The tortilla part of my wrap. ~~Tips: Don't order a wrap. A plate is more likely a safe bet. ~~Return: Probably not for a while.

    The food and customer service at this location is excellent! The cashier was super patient with me while I went back and forth reading the menu. He also guided me through the ordering process which was very helpful. I ordered a bowl with carved chicken. Boy was it a hefty bowl! Loads of protein and toppings. All the ingredients tasted fresh and went well together. Don't forget to stop by the sauce bar for some garlic yogurt, chili, and cilantro jalapeño sauce!! It literally tied the whole bowl together. This location is clean and has tons of tables for dine-in. It looked like the meats (or at least certain proteins) were made-to-order, which gets a big thumbs up in my book. Short wait time for food. Good music and atmosphere!

Jubba is serving up some of the best food i've ever had. As a newbie to somali food, I am now hooked. we came in on a friday around 6:15 and there was a steady group of people enjoying their food. we ordered at the counter and took a seat outside to enjoy the weather 1 Sambusa 1 chicken wrap 1 beef plate the sambusa arrived first and initially I thought Samosa in my head. But the sambusa has a better structure, holding its shape after multiple bites. the Dough is softer but still crispy. it came with beef , chilies and other vegetables. so so good. the perfect appetizer for us. it came with a spicy green sauce that seemed to be the common sauce for every dish then the stars of the show. The sizzling hot beef plate served with veggies, rice and a salad was unbelievable. add on a lemon and some more greens sauce and you're in for a treat. the rice alone was so flavorful and it tasted like there was meat drippings on top. the beef was so tender and fell apart in 1 bite. I was blown away with the dish the chicken wrap... man. I'm not sure what kind of bread, pita was used but it was fantastic. a huge wrap with lettuce, onion chicken, sauce and other veggies. It was so messy and hard to eat with your hands so we resorted to eating with a fork and knife. Unreal. Unreal. massive portions again which are a theme here. But holy smokes this was so good. The chicken has a nice char, but is also juicy and saucy. the spongy pita neutralizes the bombardment of flavor from the meat, and the veggies compliment everything with some crunch and texture. Service was great and very helpful. They were extremely friendly and a delight to talk with. We will be back 5/5

So, I've unfortunately been passing it over. I finally decided to try it out and I was in for a treat. I got the chicken kebab plate as the sandwich board right out side the door suggested, along with a side of fries to go. The fries were crispy with a ting of spice and delicious. But the star of the show was the kebab for sure. Meaty, plump, flavorful, definitely one of the outstanding chicken kebabs in town. Lot of places give you a dry, flaky kebabs but here, it's been cooked to the perfect amount of juiciness. The rice was also butterly and flavorful. Good pita, hummus and the vegetables too. It might feel a little pricey (but everything else is too nowadays), but they give you a nice filling portion. The staffs are very nice and attentive. Clean, fun, colorful interior. I'd love to dine in next time. I'm definitely coming back for more, I want to try the loaded fries wraps, and the kanafeh next time around. The location's and the parking access is not the best, so I really hope Manakish gets all the attraction and attentions it deserves!

I would not have known about this place if it wasn't for the reel. I'm also not familiar with Syrian and Lebanese cuisine. Thought I'd give it a shot. Not the biggest of venues, it a bit small on the inside, they have few benches and tables outside. Parking wasn't an issue, plenty of spaces in the parking lot. The staff was very helpful and informative. This is a fast casual spot with table service.

The pickles and hummus on the side for both plates are a very nice touch they help cut some of the richness down. The fries are the underrated gem also. The way they are fried and cooked here, I think they do fresh batches every time, that is the vibe I get with this place. The hibiscus juice was also really refreshing to drink. It's a small place but most of the tables were all seated by people, and people were coming in and ordering to go, so you know it's good! Definitely give this place a try!
