    Much Love Torrance 4/11/26
    Lilah J.

    Fresh and kinda tasty. This is the second location that I have visited. TKS is located in Village del Amo formerly Restaurants Row in Torrance. On a weekend afternoon, there were plenty of parking spaces. We were welcomed in by the young lady at the counter. I chose the falafel plate with salad and rice. Hubby chose the gyro plate with salad. For a side we got pita bread and tzatziki sauce. All good. I later ordered pita chips. Everything was good to A-OK. 3.5 stars overall and rounded down to 3.

    One of our easy no-brainer lunch places. Tried both the wrap and the grain bowl format - the rice, meat and veggies are delicious. Love their sauces - and if what comes with the dish isn't enough, you have a selection of a handful of sauces available to add on as extra. What I do miss is a Turkish doner wrap and this location did not seem to have it :(

    Sam Diego wrap is massive

    This place is AMAZING. A hidden gem! I couldn't believe the size of the wrap! Massive! You can customize a wrap, bowl, salad... And there are a ton of options for toppings, as many topping as you want! I will definitely be coming back.

    Staff is quite friendly and makes great recommendations! It was nice level of music and ambiance. I would recommend it for lunch!! Fries and chicken wrap is tasty!

    Falafel wrap.
    Kacie R.

    I had been wanting to try this place for a while. So glad I did! I wasn't eating meat at the time, so I ordered a falafel wrap from their online ordering system. I customized it exactly how I wanted it & picked it up in less than twenty minutes. The wrap was SO good! First of all was like the size of my arm!! The photo is referenced below... lol. For about $15 I got a specious falafel wrap that enough for 2/3 meals. Two for sure. I was going to a show that night so I ate half on for way and the other for a midnight snack on the way home & when I tell you it hit!

    I returned for their fresh and delicious food. I had the lamb and beef bowel with saffron and rice and it's amazingly good. I came just before the lunch hours since as soon as I ordered a line formed going out the door. But it moved pretty quickly and didn't delay my order. I notice how clean they keep the restaurant and tables. My first experience here, when they were newly opened, was far less appealing than now. I really enjoy dining here.

    Left one is the San Diego.  I forget the right one

    TL;DR - Huge long smoky wraps. Kids eat free on the weekends! Would come back. Been back here multiple times! I'm so glad they opened here along side Marugame Udon, Teriyaki Madness, Board and Brew, and Pho Hue Oi. Lots of variety now! The service is always quick and friendly. It can be a little noisy in there but it's nothing crazy. They got solid choices here. Their wraps come with a wide range of add-ons and protein choices. Their wrap also has a unique smoky smell and taste. The best part is the size of these things. They are longer than a foot and they're THICK. It's hard to scarf these things down so it's worth your money. The coolest perk about this place is the weekends for kids. Kids eat free. I included a picture of what my kid had and it was more than enough (I had to finish it myself). I hope they keep this forever because my kids love it.

    FALAFELwrap with a side of tabbouleh which
    Lauretta N.

    We wanted a falafel wrap for lunch and the Kabab shop didn't disappoint. One wrap is large enough for 2 people and has fresh ingredients. Order taker is friendly and helpful. We also ordered a side of tabbouleh which was delicious. It had the right amount of lemon juice for that tang. There's an array of sauces to add to your meal , Will definitely come back.

    Spicy Hummus
    Danielle F.

    Frequently came when they opened. It was great food with big portions, so I didn't mind paying the price. Recently it has been disappointing... We ordered to go and was pretty dead opening it at home. The chicken was dry and they put the smallest amount of hummus than they usually did. I'm hoping this was just a one time thing because this had been my go to spot for Mediterranean.

    Plate with Grilled Steak, extra Lamb Beef, Grilled Veggies, Hummus & Pita ($24.30) and Pita Chips ($1.50)  06-04-2025

    We're so happy this place is so close to home! This restaurant shares free parking with other businesses in this sprawling Village Del Amo. This portion has 5 open eateries as of May 2025 - Marugame Udon, Board & Brews, Teriyaki Madness, Pho Hue Oi, and this place TKS. You will order at the counter and pay. Then you grab a table. Hubby orders and I grab the table. When your order is ready, they will call your name and you need to take your food to your table. Last year, hubby & I first went to another location for a Yelp Event and got a Wrap. It was tasty, but didn't entice us to revisit. When we saw this location, we thought we'd pop in to give it another go. Happy to report that this is now one of our favorite places! We usually share a Plate ($15.50) with Grilled Steak (costs an additional $2.80), Grilled Veggies, & Spicy Hummus and Pita. We sometimes get the Grilled Chicken or Carved Lamb Beef, but always the Grilled Steak. The steak is absolutely scrumptious! The steak requires about 10 minutes to cook, so be prepared to wait or order your food in advance. TIP: The A/C vents blow directly on the seating areas and it is COLD! On a hot day, this is the place to be! Otherwise, you'll find yourself wanting to eat at a table outside. Now that we've found what items we thoroughly enjoy, we find ourselves coming here often! The food always comes out hot, which is a huge plus in my book! They serve a warmed up Pita. I've been to other places that don't and it's such a nice touch to have a warm one! We recently brought our granddaughter and her mom here and they happily ate! Oh, and outside, there is a small shared play area. She played with the other children... how fun! We may have to give the Wrap another chance! They are enormous and very loaded!

    I first tried the kebab shop in San Diego and was impressed by their quality and freshness of ingredients. I'm so happy that they're opening up shops across the LA and OC regions. Another plus is that they offer halal options (carved lamb and beef kebabs). I ordered the carved lamb build your own wrap, which comes with lettuce, onions, cucumber, beats, sauce inside and on the side. I tried their OG Yogurt (their version of garlic sauce) and it was spectacular! Their cilantro jalapeño was also exceptional, I recommend you try them with your wrap or bowl. Luckily, they have a full sauce bar at the back so you can get as much of each sauce as you want. 10/10 experience, I will be back!

I wanted to follow up my very short review that I wrote about this restaurant over a decade ago as I have continued to frequent this restaurant and I have always enjoyed their food. What they offer here is a really nice selection of Mediterranean-based cuisine. They always use the best ingredients, and the food always arrives with a great presentation. Mostly, the food here tastes very-very good. And, isn't that the right reason you actually go to a restaurant in the first place? This is a family-owned and operated business. From this, you can really tell that everybody who works here really cares about the restaurant and the customers. Thus, it's always a great dining experience. Their menu offers a really nice selection of everything from gyro's to kebabs onto salads and the like. There's a really nice choice of both entrées and side dishes for you to choose from. The one thing I will say about this establishment, and this is certainly not a criticism, but whenever you eat here, they always keep the food coming. Whether it is the pita chips, the pita bread, the whatever, when you leave here you are going to be very-very full. This restaurant is located just off of Hawthorne Boulevard and a block from PCH. Thus, it's very easy to find. In terms of parking they have a parking lot over to one side of the building. You could always find a spot there. They also have a number of spots on the street, in front of the restaurant. This is where I always prefer to park. Easy in, easy out. Overall, if you're looking for some great Mediterranean-based food, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed.

The menu also features traditional Pakistani, Persian, and Arabic dishes, such as Beef Nihari and Haleem. After several visits, here are my thoughts on some of their grilled meats and desserts. Beef Kofta - 3/5. The kofta was a bit dry and tough. I wish it had more fat and seasoning to make it juicier and more flavorful. The grilling is also somewhat inconsistent--sometimes the kofta comes out beautifully browned, while other times it's over-charred. Grilled Fish - 4/5. This is easily my favorite item on the menu and, in my opinion, their best dish. The fish is seasoned just enough to enhance its natural flavor without overpowering it. It's grilled very well, developing a beautiful golden-brown crust while remaining moist and tender inside. Beef Shish Kebab - 3.5/5. The quality of the beef is decent, especially considering the price. Given the cut of meat they use, they've done a commendable job with the grilling. The beef has a solid seasoning base and a nice sear with just enough char to add flavor without becoming overly smoky. It's reasonably tender, though I wish it retained a bit more juiciness. Chicken Shish Kebab - 3.5/5. Very similar to the beef shish kebab. It has good flavor and is grilled well, but it could benefit from being a little juicier. Gyro - 2/5. Unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment. The gyro meat on the vertical spit often appears to be rotating without enough heat to properly caramelize and crisp the exterior. As a result, the meat comes across as dry, rubbery, and lacking the rich roasted flavor that makes a great gyro. Kunafa (Knafeh) - 3/5. This dessert has both strengths and weaknesses. The cheese filling has a pleasant, slightly salty flavor and a creamy texture, and I appreciate that it isn't overly sweet. However, the syrup is underwhelming. A good kunafa should be generously coated with a fragrant sugar syrup - ideally infused with rose water or orange blossom water - to provide sweetness and aroma. I also wish the kataifi, the shredded pastry dough, were crispier and lighter to create a better contrast with the gooey cheese filling. Overall, Al Hamra Kabob Grill is one of the better places to enjoy Middle Eastern-style grilled dishes in the South Bay. While a few menu items could be improved, the grilled fish stands out as excellent, and the shish kebabs are solid choices. The owner is also incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm, neighborhood atmosphere that keeps customers coming back. It's not perfect, but it's a restaurant I enjoy visiting from time to time and one I'd recommend if you're craving grilled Middle Eastern flavors.

Limone was a gift that kept on giving, from the cute branding, to the welcoming service, and to the unique mix of flavors and fresh ingredients. Some things that I really appreciated about the chicken shawarma bowl: The salad inlcuded both dill and mint, which uplifted the entire dish and left me wanting more. They give you a whole stack of (fresh!) pita bread that is sprinkled with flaky salt, something I didn't know my pita needed until now. The hummus were topped with crunchy chickpeas that gave hummus that a nice blend of textures where it would normally just be smooth. Lowkey the chicken was the least memorable part of the dish, but it was still cooked well and tender. For how much competition there is in the Enclave, these guys are killing it.

    Extremely disappointed in my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. I've been coming to this Torrance…read morelocation since it opened . The food had been fresh and delicious. Until as of late... it's so sad when restaurants start loosing their quality. I ordered through DoorDash today 6/12/26 as I've done before and like always the sauces were missing. I've never asked for a refund for missing sauces but it's disappointing that the sauces are always missing ( especially when I paid extra for them). But the biggest disappointment was the quality of the food. The flat bread was extremely raw and placed at the bottom of the plate as if done on purpose or out of spite. Chicken was overcooked and limited portion. Not only was the flat bread raw on my plate but also my husband's. Quality control is not there. I'm so disappointed in my favorite restaurant.
