    Bistro Kabob
    Antonette H.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Unreal, was craving Mediterranean and stop by with friends. Service was amazing, food was perfect, and I have a new go to. Only thing they need sports at the new bar, a must. But 10/10

    I came two or three times within a week. Very large menu, reasonable pricing, and service oriented staff.

    Great food located right next to a Lowe's. Theres a decent amount of parking. This food was very good. They give you a decent amount of food for the price and it is definitely filling enough for lunch.

    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.

    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 !

    The salads and wraps are delicious at Bistro Kabob. Very tasty and well seasoned. Portions are a good size and the price point is good. I feel the food is healthy. The interior is clean and exterior patio is dog friendly! Fountain drink station is tidy and straws and lids are well stocked.

    Is this halal? Thanks for the quick response it just doesn't say it in your website that's why I'm asking

    Almost fully halal. I overheard a worker state that the beef burger is not halal. Additionally, they have some pizzas with sausage which is not halal. They do also sell alcohol.

    5 stars for the pizza & beer/wine & atmosphere 2 stars…read moresalad & wings Been going to Pizza Port for decades every time we are in Carlsbad. Always busy & popular place. Indoor and outdoor seating, handicapped accessible plus they have extra seating upstairs and now an additional patio on the side. Picnic bench style tables, not great for older parents. Dogs allowed! Pizza, beer and wine is absolutely always fantastic! Love the Roma pizza! Tons of toppings!!! Salad is typically fine but this visit it was just meh. Very simple salad with just lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, and cucumbers, but the lettuce was just okay & majority of the cucumbers were old/disgusting - look like they had been frozen or gotten cold and then uncold and then recold. Definitely should not have put those on a salad and given to a customer. Need some quality control. My son got the wings and will usually devour them, but was done after one, I tried them and so did my husband.... Would not get again, tasted super fatty. We have gotten the mozzarella sticks before and those are decent. You placed your order at the counter and then they will call your name for pick up once your food is ready and appetizers typically come out first. Separate ordering at the bar for beer and wine. Trivia night on Wednesdays 6-8 p.m.. Always busy, sometimes hard to find a table but pretty quick to get in and get out. Will for sure be back but only getting pizza and beverages.

Once I realized it was super close, I got the family together and we made a visit on a Saturday. Parking was super easy and once we walked in, suddenly realized how large the place was. So much room! And with a ton of TV's. Only issue here is the TV's appear small because the room and walls are so large. Minor problem but time to get that 100" for the Padres games. We called our order in ahead of time, knowing it would take 15-20 min to drive down. Large deep-dish pepperoni and 12 buffalo wings, half mild and half spicy. Fam said wings were spicy but I didn't think so at all. Guess it depends on your tolerance. The deep dish pizza was phenomenal. I still don't know of any place in Oceanside or Carlsbad that serves deep dish Chicago style pizza (other than Rosati's in Encinitas). Service was great. Calling ahead was a huge win because everything was ready the moment we walked in. Just had to buy some beers and pay the tab (~ $80-ish). I didn't get a receipt which I now wished I had. Beers were ice cold. Nice to see they have a whole bar in the back, though it's a bit strange. Most places would put the bar up-front by the entrance so you can see how packed or fun a place is without stepping in. We will most definitely be back to try other stuff now that we know how close they are. Can't wait to try happy hour.
