Mutton dum biryani

Mutton dum biryani was excellent. Portions are very generous too. I think I could eat one order three times. They included the bones so every now and then you get a piece with some marrow, so good! Spices are very fun. Without the yogurt sauce I would've died but that's cause I'm a wussy. Front of house staff was very polite and helpful. Can't wait to come back and try another variation of spices. Maybe just going to order mild instead of medium

Samosas $4.99.  Sauce was good just not enough of it, outside is very good and crunchy yet soft but inside lacking flavor.

I went here on a whim because I left the smoke shop next door. I ordered samosas ($4.99) and boneless chicken biryani (14.99). The portion was good can feed two people easily. Took about 20 minutes to get my order. The samosas were cooked nicely but both orders were lacking some kind of spice I can't put my finger on it. Just different from all the other Indian places I've tried. The rice itself didn't have any flavor and had to be paired with the chicken. Same the samosas like no flavor inside which is disappointing because the outside was cooked perfectly. The sauce they gave me, was decent but like why so little sauce? It was only enough for one samosa. I came in on a weekday around 6 pm there was nobody there. The woman who took my order couldn't figure out how to use the machine and I had to repeat my order one by one and slowly and then repeat again. Then after asking her child for help on the machine she coughed in my face without covering her mouth or turning away. After that she asked me if I was paying with card or cash and I said card, which I should have been more clear and said Apple Pay because the Apple Pay machine was just sitting right there. I did the Apple Pay not once but twice, the screen said "authorization required" and I'm puzzled because I use my Apple Pay every single day and just used it at the smoke shop next door. So inevitably it is their machine that has a problem. I pulled out my traditional debit card, only a slight inconvenience. Anyways, I'm giving it two stars because the lady and her children were nice, but after eating the food I didn't exactly feel like I was in "Biryani Heaven."

I was really excited to give this place a chance. It's sad that I had to drive almost an hour only to find it closed. Their website, Yelp and Google all say that they are open. Not a good way to attract new customers or even hold onto existing ones if this is their mode of operation.

Kabob House is amazing - an absolute hidden gem in Riverside that I've had at least 20 times in the…read morelast 7 years. I've had halal kabobs from restaurants all over SoCal and the country and this place is still my favorite. It's a great option for catering (I always get the family platter pictured) and this was my go to place when we lived nearby - the flavors are tasty but not too overpowering so it works for all guests no matter their spice preference. We still drive up to 30 mins to cater from here because the food is always so good and a reliable hit with any guests that we have over. FOOD: The meat is not just flavorful but most importantly, it's somehow always just so moist, so juicy, and so tender all the way through. And it's not just the meats - every item they serve is just really unexpectedly delicious. At most kabob places, the rice/pita/salad/hummus are just weak add ons to fill up the plate, but these items are always so delicious at Kabob House and you can always taste the flavor bursting in every item (my fav is the salad which has a lemon/vinegary kick to it that just elevates the meal). All the items on the menu are great, but my personal favorite is the salmon kabob (if you've never had a salmon kabob, do yourself a favor and try it out and at least add one skewer of it if you get a combo) - the owner recommended this to me years ago, and I've always added at least a couple skewers every time since - all my guests rave about it. SERVICE/AMBIANCE It's a small casual family owned restaurant and the service is always super friendly. You can see the food being made fresh behind the counter which shows their confidence - it's clear they take immense pride in the quality of all their items and are eager to share their food and Palestinian heritage. The price is also exceptional value for the quantity of food you get, especially compared to other similar restaurants. OVERALL: I will continue to eat from here and would highly recommend trying it out.

Reviews were good, local hole in the wall, let's find out... Service is counter, friendly and nice. As befits the current economy, prices are a bit higher for a local lunch. Food was excellent, enjoyed my Kafta very much although I would have preferred a grilled tomato and peppers like other places have. Bread was good, rice was good. Soda refillable :-) I will definitely try again when in the city. Recommended!!

Added a tofu skewer and a vegetable skewer. The vegetables were packed separately with care for the vegetarians at my house...THANK YOU! The order was NOT ready at the time it was supposed to be, but they hooked us up with hummus as service recovery. The only things off-putting to me was that there's a code for the restroom even though there's more than one stall. A couple of us were standing around waiting for no reason until the lady came out and said "there's more than one stall in there!" The other thing that was off-putting is an employee walked in (uniform on) with her kids and walked into the kitchen with her kids with her. The kids were walking in and out of the kitchen area multiple times with no supervision (where did mom go?!) They eventually walked out with open cups of drinks. Not too sanitary and no one said anything to her or the kids that I could hear.

I am so disappointed, as much I have loved their food I will not go back. Today I picked up an $800 catering order that I placed. Huge pans of skewers, rice, salads, etc. I had to pick this order up by myself and had already made two trips to my car. The pans were really hot and the protein pans were heavy, so I politely asked the gentleman working there if he could please help me carry the rest of food to my car. It was obvious I was struggling and I still had more trips to make. He did not seem thrilled, but gave a reluctant sure, next thing I know the woman who was also there working interrupts and hands me two paper bags to use as make shift oven mitts to carry my own items since the pans were hot, I pretty much got an unspoken you can carry it out by yourself because they said nothing to me at all proceeded with what they were doing and ignored me. As I was struggling to get through their door through their patio another guest saw me struggling and opened for the door for me. I carried the rest out and on my last trip in I told the woman working that I was upset with placing such a large order and struggling to carry it, it was disappointing to be completely disregarded after asking for help. She informed me they are not allowed to leave the premises which is fine, however they didn't even explain that to me after I asked just handed me paper bags as make shift oven mitts and basically a "good luck - you're on your own," turned around and went back to what they were doing. They could have at least held the door for me, the restaurant was empty. I unfortunately will never come back here or cater my business lunches here again.

My boss has raved about this place on several occasions. When I saw we have a location right in…read moreVictoria Gardens, I decided I had to check this place out! I placed an order online for pickup and was given a pickup time. The place is very open, spacious and just has a neat vibe to it. I walked right up to the counter to give them my name for pick up and they said they were finishing it up. There were other people waiting for their orders as well. A couple minutes later, the gentleman behind the counter called out "Daniel" and the guy waiting next to me jumped right in and grabbed the bag and took off. I had wondered "I hope they didn't pronounce my name wrong and that was MY order." But didn't think much of it. Then the gentleman behind the counter asked me the name for my order. When I said "Danielle" he said "oh that was yours, the guy just left." He kind of looked at me like it was my problem to fix, so I took off after the guy and the employee followed me. Thankfully, the guy didn't get very far because he was verifying the order, so we made the exchange. Whew! I ordered the charbroiled chicken shish kabob with extra grilled veggies and a side Mediterranean salad as well as the hummus trio with sliced cucumbers instead of pita bread. The chicken kabob meal was delicious! The chicken was cooked to perfection and the option to add on more veggies was much appreciated! I was really excited about the hummus trio, but sadly I found it to be lacking flavor. With the 3 options of regular hummus, spicy red bell pepper and edamame, I was definitely expecting a flavor explosion, but it fell flat for me. I'd definitely come back to try more of their main dishes. Seems like a great little spot to dine in.

For a franchise spot, Panini Kabob Grill honestly delivers. As someone who's big on kabobs and…read moreMediterranean food, this place definitely hits when the craving kicks in. The food is consistently good, flavorful, and satisfying. You can tell they know what they're doing. But only in certain lanes. Pro tip: just stick with the kabobs. That's where they shine. I got a little curious and tried some of the seafood and pasta dishes... they were alright, but nothing memorable. Not bad, just not what you come here for. If you keep it simple and order what they're known for, you'll leave happy. Start exploring the menu too much and it's kind of a hit or "meh."
