    THE WRAP with MIXED MEAT gigantic
    Jocelyn R.

    After all this is a chain restaurant and I must say I am so disappointed.. service was great and environment was exceptionally clean but the main star here is supposed to be the food! In comparison to Nick The Greek and The Halal Guys (other competitors) this one would be ranked last. The food lacked flavor profiles and the sauces were a big miss. Although the wrap itself was gigantic and could be enough good for two people it's not enough to make me come back. Sauces could be made in house for more authenticity and maybe then this would be a bigger hit.

    Very disappointed with this to go order. Grains Bowl - saffron rice, chicken shawarma, feta, tzatziki sauce...ordered sauces on the side and they were not included. No utensils as well. Cucumbers pieces are huge. The bowl left yellow stains on my counter.

    I was looking for a new place to have dinner on a Friday night and Kebab Shop fit the bill. Thanks to other Yelpers for suggesting this. The parking lot at this busy complex is always a little full, but it was easy enough to find someone leaving. When we walked in, we were greeted by the manager, and looked over the menu. I heard so many people raving about the fries that I knew I had to order the crave fries. I also ordered the mezze crunch. My companion did the build your own bowl and he went with a healthy lettuce-based bowl. They have calorie counts on the menu and have suggestions for high-protein if that's your thing. The food is made fresh and was really good. They had a video playing on a screen of how they make the food, and it was interesting seeing how many garlic cloves go into the yogurt sauce. I love that they have a sauce bar and you can grab as much as you want. The outdoor seating looked nice. We ended up sitting inside and it was nice as well. I also will note that this seemed very reasonably priced, under $40 for two entrees and the fries. Generous portion sizes!

    I was looking for a place to have lunch so I used Yelp to find the best rated spot where I was located. The Kebab Shop looked to be the best choice. The cashier was friendly and helpful. I was excited for everything I picked for my bowl. When my buzzer went off I went to collect my bowl and it was packed Togo. The cashier didn't ask if it was for here or to go and assumed Togo. The only issue with that is the qty of items is normally less and the lid was loaded with my sauces that I had to scrape off. But the food was fresh and delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had a nice flavor. I'll come back again for sure but will be sure to state "here" vs getting a to go bowl.

    Food was super fresh, you can't really tell in the pic but there was a lot of meat too but still didn't feel like a heavy meal. Their sauces are soooo good too. They were a bit busy the day I went so it took a little longer but the staff were working hard and were very friendly. They have nice AC blowing inside or they have outside seating as well which I enjoyed with my family. I would definitely be a regular here if I lived in the area!

    I ordered Shawarma Chicken with additional grilled steak however, it arrived with only the steak, excluding the chicken.

    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.

    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.

    The food was flavorful, and the sauces provided complemented the dishes very well. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided good customer service. The main drawbacks were the portion sizes and the wait time. At approximately $17 per plate, the portions felt somewhat small for the price, making the food seem a bit overpriced. Additionally, there was a wait of about 20 minutes or longer for the food to be prepared. This may have been due to limited staffing, a high volume of online orders, or both. Overall, the food quality and customer service were enjoyable, but the long wait times and smaller portions for the price may be factors to consider before visiting

    Absolutely awesome customer service on top of the already amazing food with great portions! The atmosphere is also really chill and good music. I like the wraps personally!

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap
    John L.

    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.

    Photo of wraps from the first time

    The first time we came here (06/09/26) the wraps were amazing. The guy at the front that worked during that time was super nice, and our wraps were super full and bursting with fresh flavors. Wait time was slightly long, but it was fine. We came back a second time during dinner today. There were different staff but the wraps were lacking from the first time. They were still tasty, but less full and not as fresh. The fries were more soggy, the meat tougher, the whole wrap just less flavorful overall. I think the worst part though was the wait time. My partner and I waited about 40 minutes for our food and they gave us our wraps at different times, like 10 minutes apart. Also, we paid for beef and chicken in one wrap but they forgot the chicken, unfortunately we had already gone home by the time we noticed it was missing. Also a note the shop wasn't even full with only 3 parties so I'm not sure why it took so long for the food to be made for the people seated in the restaurant. They seemed to be pumping out a lot of to-go/Doordash orders, and making all of those before the in-shop customers. Anyway still craving that wrap from the first visit, if you are a cool tall brown guy who worked on June 9 around 3 pm let me know when you're in the shop.

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.

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.

The staff was all woman and while they weren't chatty, they were all diligently doing prep, which is necessary. I honestly can't wait for the chance to come back soon!

    Shawarmaji had been on my hit list for years with friends and friends of friends swearing by the…read morerestaurant. Went for a weeknight dinner around 6PM and there was no line. Food did take a little bit to come out though, so I'd guess that if it's more crowded, you should be prepared to wait. Parking is a bit of a pain as they only have street parking and there's only enough seating for ~20-ish people at a time. The menu is pretty small, but pricing isn't bad as the wraps are pretty big. I will say everyone who LOVES this place said I missed out by skipping the fries, so that might've been the missing star. Chicken Wrap (Rabieh Style): Wrap was nicely toasted and the chicken is perfectly seasoned with a nice bit of caramelization. The garlic toum is sharp and the cheese added the perfect amount of salt. White sauce with the hot sauce add both creaminess and a bunch, all in all it's a good shawarma wrap. I don't know if I'd travel out of my way to try this, but if I was local, I could see being a regular.
