The owner and his wife run this places, the service is amazing, we have great conversations with him. The seating is simple but they make up for it in food and service. Also don't forget they offer all kinds of frozen meals to take home and reheat. The ambiance is nice just simple chairs and benches. Really take your time and enjoy Just Kabab's...

Just Kabob was such a great find. We ordered the Family Style Meal and it comfortably fed four…read moreadults. The chicken skewers were tender, the beef koobideh had great flavor and the saffron rice, pickled vegetables and grilled tomatoes tied everything together. We chose the dolmehs (x6, I ate one before taking the photo) and the two baklavas with our family meal and both were delicious. The owner is also the chef and he truly puts his heart into this restaurant. Every time we have gone, whether it is just us or when we bring family and guests, he always makes a point to say hello, visit our table and make us feel welcome. It adds so much charm to this delicious spot. They also have a huge selection of Ready Meals made in house by the owner. The flavors are fresh and feel like home cooked food made from the heart. It is an amazing option for meal prep because nothing feels repetitive. Prices are competitive with meal prep services and the portions have plenty of protein. The menu has Middle Eastern, Thai, Mediterranean and Desi flavors and everything tastes thoughtful and fresh. It truly is a gem and a place we will be returning to.

Don't miss the tzatsiki and red bell pepper spreads for an appetizer. The stuffed grape leaves were also amazing. We were given a complimentary dish of a lovely pasta in what I think was a paprika sauce. Off the menu, family style dish, out of this world. Try the cabbage slaw, stuffed cabbage, and the meatballs - all beautifully prepared and seasoned perfectly. Highly recommended.

But, we won't be in Tucson for a couple weeks. No problem. Went there today with my receipts and the unopened product. I picked out what I wanted in the first place, and got change back. Being of Armenian decent, this place is a God send. Can't recommend it more.

They use the machine and then cut the pieces in squares. No technique. That said, it's still manageable. However, not this time. The pieces were supposed to be small for stew/curry. The butcher (a kid this time) did such a sloppy job of it! The pieces were cut as if to throw in a grinder. Some were as big as 5-6 ounce by itself. See the pics for yourself. If you go there, ensure you check the pieces after they cut it.

We ordered drinks and studied the menu some and put in orders for the Aspasia and hummus plates along with the big (we had no idea it was that big) family mix grill and chicken and beef shawarma. We received the Aspasia plate first and it was delicious! The kibbeh was so good but so was everything else. The mixed grill plate was awesome. The hummus and baba ghanoush were incredible. I don't think I can get enough superlatives into this write up to fully convey not only how good this food is but also how authentic it all was. Of course our server timed all the deliveries to our table so that everything came out correctly and at the right time. The inside of the restaurant is actually a big room, sparsely decorated with simple tables and chairs but again it added to the charm and authenticity of the cafes from the Middle East region. There is no other place in Tucson like this and I highly recommend this to you to go and try. There is plenty here to try and enjoy.

We arrived at 12:30 and they were slammed. No available parking, so my daughter dropped me off (so sweet) and parked a couple doors down. The dining room was packed and noisy. The young man who greeted us said he'd have a table in ten minutes or we could sit in the air conditioned patio area. That's what we did. The patio was quiet and a large fan blowing over a trough of ice kept us cool and comfortable. We started with an appetizer of hummus, tzatziki, pita, and dolmades, with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. The tzatziki was the best I've had. The sliced veggies were great so my celiac daughter could scoop the yummy spreads instead of pita. As lamb lovers, we ordered the lamb kabob plate and the lamb clay pot. The plate came with scrumptious rice, Greek salad, and sliced veg. The clay pot was filled with diced potatoes, tomatoes, and tender cubes of lamb, beautifully seasoned. So much delicious food! Our waiter offered dessert, but we were stuffed and settled for to-go boxes. I had an excellent lunch for two more days! As a big fan of Mediterranean food, I don't know how I could have missed Istanbul, but my first time surely won't be my last.
