Olives Mediterranean Café is one of those restaurants that's easy to recommend. The food is…read moredelicious, fresh, and full of flavor, with a great selection of Mediterranean and Greek dishes. The kabobs, hummus, gyros, and salads are especially good, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming, and the service is friendly. I also really like that it's a local restaurant right in downtown Lancaster. It's a great place for a casual lunch or dinner, whether you're dining alone, with friends, or with family. If you enjoy Mediterranean food, Olives is definitely worth checking out. It's a real gem in Lancaster!

This was my first time trying Mediterranean (besides Chicken Dijon) and for me personally it's…read morewasn't barking at me. It didn't make an eyebrow raise or make my inner core say "ummm!" I was in the mood for a good hearty salad as I had a heavy seafood meal the night before and was planning on big bbq for weekend so I wanted to kinda have a clean fill up in between! So we selected the chicken kebab salad, something with the Lulu and Shawarma chicken, the tzatziki dip with some pita bread and a bottle of Pinot Grigio. To me the kebabs were a bit too charred I'm not sure if that's how they should be or not. I was expecting soft savory meat not a dry different version of bbq meat. The dressing was dryer than expected (that was my best adjective at the moment) it was vinegar overpowering. I had hoped for think more of a fruit maybe flavored balsamic taste. I didn't finish it I just ended up drinking lunch along with the tzatziki dip. I did like the rice that came with my mother's meal too. It was flavorful and made perfectly (unlike my rice!) So for me this was a one and done type a place I'm glad I experienced it, but I won't be back.

I've been coming to AV Kabob House for years, ever since I worked nearby, and it has never…read moredisappointed me. Even after changing jobs, I still make the trip because the food is just that good. In my opinion, this is hands down the best Middle Eastern restaurant in the entire Antelope Valley. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The meats are tender and perfectly seasoned, the rice is amazing, the hummus is some of the best I've ever had, and the portions are generous. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, and they make you feel like a valued customer every time you walk in. It's one of those places you can't stop thinking about after you leave. If you've never been here, you're seriously missing out. Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, you'll leave full and happy. I recommend AV Kabob House to everyone looking for authentic, delicious Middle Eastern food. They absolutely deserve all the support they can get! 10/10, five stars every time!

I wanted to like A1 Kabob, but unfortunately my experience was disappointing. From the customer…read moreservice to the food itself, very little met my expectations. The atmosphere felt unwelcoming, and one of the employees repeatedly stared at me in a way that made me feel uncomfortable. When I had questions, I didn't feel valued as a customer, and the overall interaction came across as cold and dismissive. As for the food, I found it to be bland and lacking flavor. The dishes tasted under-seasoned and seemed to be missing the attention and care that make a meal memorable. Everyone's taste is different, but for me, the food lacked the flavor and quality I was expecting based on the reviews and reputation. Good customer service can sometimes make up for an average meal, and great food can sometimes make up for average service. Unfortunately, in my experience, neither delivered. I hope the restaurant takes customer feedback seriously and makes improvements.

My husband and I love House of Kabob, this has definitely become one of our favorite spots. We've…read moreordered from here several times now and it's always been a great experience. We normally call in our order for pickup and everything is always ready on time, which makes it really convenient. I get the chicken kabob plate and my husband goes for the combo with chicken kabob with either lamb or lule. The meats are always tender and juicy, and everything is seasoned really well without being too heavy. The portions are generous and the sides are just as good. Their garlic sauce is honestly one of my favorite parts, it's sooo flavorful, and the hummus is smooth and well balanced. I also love their pear soda, it's very refreshing. One thing that stood out during our last visit was the service. My husband mentioned how much I loved their garlic sauce and the front worker added an extra one for us, which was really thoughtful. Each plate already comes with one, so that small gesture really stood out. Overall this is one of our go to spots when we're craving kabobs. If you're in the area and want something authentic and consistently good, this place is definitely worth trying.

I ordered the beef shawarma bowl for pickup, and my husband got the combo plate with chicken kabob and lule. Unfortunately, we were both pretty disappointed. Overall, the food was very bland and lacked the flavor we were expecting. My beef shawarma had a very strong beefy smell and taste that reminded me of reheated meat, which I wasn't a fan of. It also wasn't the style of beef shawarma I was expecting. Instead of the thin, shaved slices you typically get from a vertical rotisserie, it looked more like chopped or pan-cooked beef. The hummus was also lacking flavor, and the garlic sauce was served in such a small container that it wasn't enough for the meal. Overall, this place just didn't stand out to us. Everyone's taste is different, but for us, there are other Mediterranean restaurants we'd rather try next time.
