My wife accidentally ordered the wrong dish for each of us. We ended up with a chicken, beef and krafta combo. It was delicious and I would not have known there was some lamb in the dish. There was so much left over we had another entire dinner. Can't go wrong with that dish. Only bad part is we were just visiting town. Looked for one by us. Closest is 3 hours. So my family is going to have to get used to more visits. Lol

First time here. Friend Chris highly recommended the judge food here. The hummus is amazingly fresh and flavorful. Everything else got better as we went along. If you haven't been here you are missing a real treat and make sure you are hung

Delicious food and all the stuff is so friendly and nice. I've never had anything I didn't love from here. Hummus, Dynamite Cauliflower and Samosas are my fav appetizers. The Kabob City Bowl with spicy chicken is a must! Wraps are delicious too! These guys so get busy on Fridays, but honestly its so worth the wait.

The food was amazing! Their spicy hummus was sooo good! I had the spicy chicken, my spouse had the garlic chicken wrap, and my friend had the chicken pasta. Everything was so delicious and the service was incredible! (Didn’t get a picture of the pasta or the spicy hummus) regardless everything was 10/10.

Delicious food with great service. This place is reasonably priced with great portions. Its a great change of pace to fast food and a healthier option. It also offers great options for kids. Give your palate a change of pace and culture. It'll thank you for it.

Stopped in for an early dinner. First time there. Spicy hummus was really good and their hummus is super creamy. Had the Spicy Chicken pasta for an entree and the portion was enough to bring half home for lunch tmw. The flavor was really good. My wife had a pizza and it was good size and very tasty. Service was excellent Will definitely go back.

Small place, very busy on a Thursday. Busy isn’t bad, just means it’s popular. I got the shawarma with fries. I never had one in my life and I was happy with the food. Portions are going to leave with leftovers if you eat appropriately. Server was really nice. Overall the flavor, portion, service ratio all hits a great overlap. I do feel it’s better than Zaytoona. That place needs to steal some of Kabab’s menus. As always, if you follow my reviews, I just negotiated a trip with Google Maps to Europe. They choose the places and I choose the dates a secret. This way the places visited will find out after I have left. Every customer should be treated as a reviewer. And of course, my reviews are never paid for. That’s Yelp!, those scammers rob places of interest for positive publicity.
