We finally tried this place and it did not disappoint! We ordered the chicken tikka masala, the kabob platter, and baklava for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the portions were generous. The restaurant itself is elegant, clean, and very spacious. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Plenty of parking. read more

this place is SO cute inside! i was shocked by how cute and vibey it is inside and outside. it was crystal clean, with only one other person inside. service was so quick! had my food in minutes. i ordered a gyro wrap with rice. the rice was excellent, the meat was tender, and the tzatziki was the perfect consistency. they do chop their gyro meat a ton, where its almost ground - that was the one thing i didn't love but otherwise loved! definitely would come again. i can't believe more people don't know about it! read more

Food quality is pretty good however their current price increases are a bit too much. I just ordered last night over $80 worth of food and they still make mistakes on orders: Chicken kebab, gyro, kale salad and falafel with hardly any pitas. read more

Good food, attentive service, and a beautiful, shaded patio made this restaurant the perfect place for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. I was really impressed with the food, kabob, rice,salad, pita and hummus- it was delicious. Plus they have some really good beers on tap, I recommend the Blood Orange Hef. It's not cheap but worth it. This is a gem in Carlsbad! read more

First time trying out this restaurant. I ordered the gyro combo plate, and I will say it was a lot of food. I had plenty leftover to take home. The plate included gyro meat, chicken, rice, and salad. I wasn't a huge fan of the salad since the dressing tasted a little weird to me, but other than that, the food was pretty good and the portions were great. My favorite was the dessert Pistachio Baklava, it's amazing! The location is super easy to find since it's in a shopping center, and parking was easy with plenty of spaces available. The restaurant also has both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area looked really pretty and nicely decorated, and the inside was also very clean and well decorated. The employees were very welcoming and nice, so the customer service was really good overall. read more

Stopped by here while visiting Carlsbad and everything went well. Located in a shopping complex with plenty of parking, this place has a beautiful indoor and outdoor seating area. While all items were delicious I couldn't help but feel something was missing. For example, the salmon wrap was tasty but it needed more flavor. The persian pizza was delicious but the dough wasn't firm enough for all the toppings. The servers were all nice and polite but we needed to get up and ask for things. You order at the counter then seat yourself. There's no one to bring you sauces, napkins etc. overall, I was happy with our experience and if visiting Carlsbad I would come back to try other items. read more

I am Persian and was so excited about trying this place! Not good, tadig wasn't even crispy. chicken koobideh did not taste good, barge was mediocre. Such a bummer, was hoping for true authentic food. Better off with panini kabob or Aria kitchen in San Marcos. read more

Came here after work for some food and decided on a pizza. This place never disappoints. The pizza was delicious and cooked perfectly. People are friendly and the place itself has a very nice atmosphere complete with a very pleasant outdoor patio. I'm really starting to love this place. Thanks for all you do. read more

The food here is not good. I was so excited to try my favorite dish, FESENJAN. For starters, the place had no AC on a hot summer day. The outdoor patio area is really pretty, however, the music was playing so loud that it was hard to concentrate on the conversation I was having. Several different workers came to check on us about every 5 minutes (so probably at least 4-5x) as we were sitting there which felt like a little much. The food was not good at all and didn't taste anything like the same dish I've had at other restaurants and for $28! I just got one simple dish. My friend and I both didn't finish our plates or want to take left overs home as it was not good. Not worth the money. read more

Really excellent good quality food. Linda at the register and Miguel were exceptionally nice. The chef was very kind to work with my food allergies. And the patio is so lovely. Period a real pleasure to eat here. read more

Food and ambience and decorations of this place is top notch. Best Iranian food in San Diego area.

Pressed the surprise me button on Yelp and they suggested Bistro Kabob which is right next to work. They had a lunch special where you could get a gyro wrap for $13.99. Service was top notch and the ambiance outside is like you are on a Mediterranean island(I have never been, but I hope to someday). The wrap was packed with meat and really satisfying. I noticed next door at 5 Guys they also have a $13.99 special for a burger, fries, and drink. I don't know what is a better deal. I asked a bunch of people and they were split. Five Guys you also get peanuts to snack on while you wait, but you don't get the ambiance & feeling of Bistro Kabob. You are also supporting a small business at BK which I'm a fan of. read more

Michelle and Manny were so sweet and provided amazing service. We had a few questions and they guided us with recommendations like the tahdig rice (so good). Such a beautiful upgrade to the interior and exterior dining as well since the last time I dined. Michelle gave us this spicy dip and yo.. it paired well with everythingggg. 10/10 recommend - great vibes, community, and eats :D read more

Best Mediterranean place in Socal! The food and service was spectacular. I had to leave a nice tip because I was so impressed. Do yourself a favor and come here. I low key want to keep this spot to myself but they deserve all the business they can get lol. You will not be disappointed in anything you get. Try the sea bass and the lamb chops and thank me later! read more

great food, great service and a pretty restaurant. We love coming here with our family. We will be back again thank you

Food was incredible and truly 5 stars. Our server was amazing and the ambiance was great. The issue is the Saturday event pricing. The menu jumps from $26 to $40 per plate plus a $15 entry fee. Paying $55 for a $26 dish wasn't what was advertised, and the way it was marketed feels misleading. read more

This was my first time here. This is a great place for lunch. It also looks like the have a night life. As they have a bar section and I saw large speakers. There are multiple mounted TVs. So I am sure the show sports. The decor is casual. Greek music plays in the background. The service is pretty good. My food came quick and the workers were polite. I had the Steak Salad. The meat was very flavorful. And the salad was good as well. I did not care for the fruit in it. The sweet did cut the vinegar. I just can't eat, what I thought was mango. I do recommend the Steak Salad, but it does have a strong pepper taste to it. If you do a yelp review, you will get a free baklava. I will come back again. read more

We love the Bistro Kabob! Amazing food and amazing service. Lovely ambiance with beautiful seating outside. The layout is perfect for my toddler - he loves the large bench with pillows. We usually get the chicken doner wrap which is amazing. Their shrimp is great too. Highly recommend this delicious, authentic restaurant. read more

Great place! We went here to watch the final World Cup game and they could not have been nicer! The food was superb - very flavorful, fresh ingredients, and an amazing variety. There's a really lovely covered outdoor area with comfy-looking Persian decor but we didn't use it because we wanted to watch the match on their nice big screen. Service was excellent. The baba ganoush was the best I've had, and so was the falafel with garlic sauce. read more

Went here for dinner a couple weeks ago. Great food. Got a gyro plate and it was pretty good. They have a lunch special that's priced pretty good I'll have to try sometime. read more

Very disappointing experience. We called ahead to reserve and were specifically told that we would only pay for whatever food we ordered. However, when we arrived, they handed us a limited menu on a piece of paper with a fixed $45 price per person, which was extremely overpriced for the quality and type of restaurant. On top of that, the place was overcrowded, uncomfortable, and poorly organized. The service was horrible -- staff were not attentive and the whole experience felt rushed and misleading. We came expecting a pleasant dinner and left frustrated. I would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience. read more

Probably the best beef kabob I've had in San Diego County ! Came here with my buddies and we got a bunch of food ! We started out with the eggplant dip which was amazing ! Me and my buddy shared the big mixed grill plate. Definitely recommend especially if you are hungry !! Tons of meats and it came with rice and salad. My buddy's got the gyro wrap and spicy chicken diner ! They both loved it. We all shared a kabob pizza which is amazing !! Definitely worth trying! They have beers on tap as well! We sat outside to enjoy the amazing weather and nice tropical setting outside. The staff was nice and the restaurant was clean which is always a plus ! read more

This Mediterranean restaurant has a warm welcoming interior with a relaxing patio area. The menu has a ton of options from several combo plates to salads to wraps. We ordered the salmon plate entree and the gyro and chicken combo plate. The chicken and salmon were grilled over fire on a metal skewer. It was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. The combo plates are a bit pricey and are well over $22 to $28 each but they do give a ton of food per combo plate including salad, rice, pita, and hummus. The staff was fast and efficient. We loved this restaurant with healthy delicious options. read more

Tasty Gyro, Great Vibe, A Few Fixable Flaws Stopped in for lunch at Bistro Kebab in Carlsbad and went with the lunch special--gyro plate for $12.99 (a bit over $15 with tip). It was a solid experience overall. Atmosphere: The ambiance was unexpectedly nice. The inside has a clean, casual feel, while the shaded patio out front, complete with a bubbling fountain, gave it a relaxing, almost Mediterranean vibe. Great spot if you want to eat outside and not bake in the sun. Service: Didn't interact with the staff much, but they were straightforward and polite. Food came out fast, which is always a plus during a lunch break. Food: The gyro was flavorful, especially the meat. Good seasoning and texture. They include tzatziki on the side, which I liked since I could control the amount. There was also a bit of a light sauce already inside the wrap, which added some nice moisture. I also tried one of their tomato-based hot sauces--super fun kick and paired well with the dish. That said, a couple things held it back from being a 5-star meal: * The pita was a bit dry and crumbly, so without the yogurt or sauce, it felt too dry in the mouth. * The folding of the gyro felt a bit off, and it started falling apart as I was eating it. Might just be the way they wrap it, but I had to do some gyro surgery mid-meal. * A little more meat would have gone a long way toward balance. Bottom line: A tasty and affordable lunch with a great setting. With a moister pita and a touch more meat, this would be one of my go-to gyro spots in North County. Would I go back? Yes. Worth trying again--especially to enjoy that patio and explore more of the menu. read more
