Had the chicken kabab as well as the filet beef kabab lunch special and it's a very good portion for the price. The fillet was very tender, chicken very, very tender and juicy. hummus and tzatziki were excellent. We had a side of the falafel which was good and especially considering the reasonable price. This is the best kabab I have found in the valley.

4/5. Went for a lunch. The service was impressive. He was quick and helpful to get our orders in. Chicken kabob and the beef kobedeh was seasoned well. It was tender/ flavorful and cooked well I love it the portion of the rice was good and it filled me up along with a small cucumber with tomato mix in a small container. Inside was clean and it was comfortable. The bread was a little dry and stiff. It would have been perfect if there was humus to go along with it soften the dryness. Parking was a little tough as it is shared by other vendors. Even street parking was by luck. I guess it depends what time you go. Over all it was good. I hope they keep this place clean and good cooking.

My wife said she had a place for us to try for lunch. We pulled into a typical Valley strip mall. Not sure what I was getting into. We walked into a larger tgan expected and comfortabl dining room. Fortunately the A/C was on and working this August day. She ordered the gyros plate and I got the gyros wrap with a side of Dolmas. The food came quickly. I took one bite of my wrapped and immediately was wowed. It was very tasty. The gyros meat was tender and flavorful. I noticed the slices were thinner than normal and I think that is partially why the texture was so good. I remarked that the meat was less greasy than our usual Greek place. The dolmas were just as I like them. Very tasty. My wife cleaned up her gyros plate. All in all a good choice.

Stopped by on a Saturday early lunch with the parents and everyone enjoyed their entree! With picky elderly, sometimes that can be a challenge. Location: shopping strip sandwiched between other businesses. Parking: free! Just have to be patient if the lot is full. Vibe: peaceful and friendly with a TV playing in the background. Food: we ordered a variety of items, mainly vegetarian this time and it was all fresh to order. Mom got the impossible kabob with a side of hummus and baba ganoush. Dad got the vegetarian combo, FIL got kabob wrap and my husband and I shared the vegetarian combo. The falafel were delicious and everyone cleaned their plates! No leftovers and nothing thrown away. We've been back three times and the quality of the food is unmatched! We'll be back soon.

Hooked on Hook Kabob! This extensive Mediterranean eatery in Lake Balboa/Van Nuys area of Balboa Blvd / Saticoy Avenue, near the Van Nuys Airport is an incredible gem with the service, quality and care to match that hidden shine. I've been hearing nothing but great things since they opened up their doors a full year ago today. Being in a shared plaza lot with other cool places, it's amazing that H.K. is number one for sure! You can order takeout, delivery (via third-party apps) or inside and they serve you up your delish on a dish food flare fair. From cool kabobs to salads, sides, wraps, gyros, plates, desserts, bowls, family meals and lunch specials... They've got a lot! Plant-based options for sure with loads of vegetarian, vegan and even some gluten-free by default options. Impossible Kabobs are juicy, flavorful and tender. I wasn't expecting them to be so well made the first time I had them and now I just can't get enough. Incredible Falafel, Tabbouleh, Dolmas, Tahini, Basmati Rice (with Saffron of course) and smoky Baba Ghanoush. They also do some fun things with their golden crispy fries, including loaded style, gyro, garlic and classic/plain. Free Wi-Fi. Great decor. Fair amount of seating. It's clean, modern and has an inviting layout. Fountain-style beverages with Coca-Cola-based varieties, not to mention teas and water. Some bottles and cans as well (Celsius, Kevita, Yachak Organic Yerba Mate and Bundaberg varieties to name a few). Hook accepts most forms of payment including a lot of tap and digital cash apps. Open 7 days a week from 11 AM to 9 PM, 8 PM on Sundays.

Grilled Chicken Plate with beef and a Greek salad with a drink

I am on a quest to find the best kabob in Los Angeles. I decided to try this restaurant after passing by this location several times in my way home. You order from the counter and fountain drinks are refillable. Hook Kabob is located in a small strip mall. The restaurant is nice and clean. Plus, the staff was friendly. The average plate was approximately $30. The food was flavorful and they give you healthy portions. Solid location.

This is my second time here in the last month. I came back to bring a friend as I really enjoyed it the first time. I like that things are made fresh here with good quality ingredients. I got the chicken plate and a side of fries. It came with plenty of food for two small meals (though I enjoyed it so much that I ate it all in one.) The chicken is tender and moist, the salad is fresh and filled with quality veggies. Their garlic sauce is delicious, and all of it tasted great with the hot sauce added. The fries were well seasoned and crisp but fluffy on the inside. I previously had their falafel which is crispy and freshly fried to order. Parking can be tight depending on the day. I will for sure be going back!

Came by for take out gyro fries $16. It was packed well and even eating at home 20 mins later the fries and gyro was still warm and good complement to the dressing. It's quite filling. Make sure to activate the Yelp check in offer; it was a very generous portion of chicken! There's a decent sized parking lot, for SFV strip mall standards.

Hook Kabob is located in a small plaza. There is a decent amount of parking. And it isn't as tight as other places. The inside is nice and really clean with plenty of seating. I like how there are a lot of space between tables. I got the Gyro plate. It comes with a mix of beef and lamb, tzatziki sauce, rice, roasted pepper and tomato and pita. It was so good! And came with free lollipops. It was a few dollars more than my usual place. But you really get what you paid for. Seriously, the meat was so good and the rice was moist and not dry. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu, which by the way was clear and had big pictures for all the plates. Good but also makes it hard to choose because they all look good! Oh and they have a nice variety of desserts. The owner Arnby (I think thats how its spelled?) was really nice. He explained how the've been around since pre pandemic. And I can see why. This place rocks and deserves the local support! I need to come back to try the Hook fries and Bowl Madness! Thank you for the delicious meal Hook Kabob!

When someone told me that the food was fantastic I was doubtful that it could be THAT good but boy was I wrong. We went for lunch and they had lunch special which made it even better. Order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The protein is made fresh and wow was it super tasty. I ordered the beef kubideh with rice and two sides. The hummus was one of my sides and I could just eat this with pita it was so good. The portion size was very generous and the beef delicious. Add hot sauce and sumac and it's a blast of flavor in each bite. Staff is very friendly and helpful with any recommendations or explanations of their menu. Restaurant has many tables and is very clean.

Probably the best chicken Kebobs I have ever had. The Spicy chicken is . Good stuff, could eat here every day.

Arman B.

I stopped by this small restaurant and was really impressed! The place is spotless -- everything feels well cared for and comfortable. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food was delicious, fresh, and nicely presented, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. It's the kind of spot that makes you want to come back regularly. Highly recommend if you're looking for a clean, cozy place with great food and good value!

Hot Sauce, taste like a very mild buffalo sauce

I found this place on Yelp and since it had some good reviews, although not that many as of now, decided to go give it a try with a friend last week. We both ordered the Beef Vaziri which is essentially one skewer of ground beef kabob and one skewer of chicken breast chunks, rice, grilled tomato, grilled pepper and a scoop of chopped onion, tomato and cucumber salad, along with one pita bread on top. We each also ordered a glass bottle soda and the total came out to about $30 for the plate and the soda. The quality of the meat is decent. The beef kabob tasted good but the chicken chunks were over cooked, bland tasting and dry. My friend got 4 pieces (small chunks) on his plate where I only got 3 pcs. I looked at them side by side to compare and make sure it is the same amount of meat, perhaps my chunks were larger that's why there was one more on his. Nope! Turns out they were the same size and they just put one less piece on my plate. We placed our order at the register upon arrival and paid before we sat down at one of the tables to wait for the food to get ready. The two guys working there seemed nice but they also gave off the type of vibe that they really don't want to be there. We arrived at around 8:25pm and it took them about 15 minutes to get our food ready. The guy working behind the counter handed us the food in a take out in plastic bag. At this point it was 8:40 and they closed at 9pm that evening. As we got our food, we let the guys know that we were going to sit down and eat real quick before we leave since we had driven out of here it way to go eat at Hook Kabob for the first time. The guy told us that they are already cleaning up and that we can't dine-in at one of the tables in the dining hall. I asked him if it would be okay to just eat our meal there since we had another 20 minutes before closing time and I explained to him that if we took it to go, then we would be stuck eating in the car or in the parking lot. With zero sympathy toward the situation, the guy again said that he was sorry and that they have already started cleaning up. My friend and I ended up eating in the parking lot next to the curb. That really killed the entire experience. I would understand if they were closing in 5 or 10 minutes. I wouldn't even ask to eat there if that was the case. So the reason why I'm only giving this place 3 stars out of 5. 1. The experience with being asked to leave 20 minutes prior to closing time. 2. The $25 Beef Vaziri plate is mostly made up of rice and bread with a small scoop of salad. The ground beef kabob skewer is at the most between 3-5 ounces of beef at the most. It's super skinny and super small. So basically you're relying on all the rice and bread that comes with the plate to feel satisfied. I was honestly still hungry after eating this meal. I understand that restaurants need to make a profit and that ingredients, rent and employees are a significant cost factor in the equation. Unfortunately if a restaurant wants to keep its quality a notch higher than some of its competitors and keep the prices within a reasonable scale compared to what they are offering, then they have no choice but to cut down on the portion size, and it's very apparent at hook kabob. Overall, it was worth a try and I have no regrets going, other than being stuck eating my meal in the parking lot. So here is my honest summery of this review: Are there better kabob places around town that offer comparable quality, better value and friendlier service? Absolutely! Chances are the next time I'm craving kabob, this restaurant won't cross my mind again. read more

This new restaurant is THE BOMB! I don't usually write reviews, but when a place is this DAMN GOOD, I feel like it's my duty to share it with the public. For real! When you arrive at Hook Kabob, you first notice how sparkling clean the place is--exactly what you'd expect from a quality restaurant. Everything I've tried on their menu has been SUPER FRESH and DELICIOUS, hitting my taste buds with that perfect Mediterranean flavor I've been craving. Their kabob is SOOOOO GOOOOOD that on days when I know I'm having lunch or dinner there, my mouth starts watering the moment I think of their kabob plate, and it doesn't stop until I've devoured every last bite :) To top it all off, the staff is always incredibly NICE and WELCOMING, which makes Hook Kabob my favorite spot to dine in, especially with family or friends, so I can brag about finding the best Mediterranean restaurant in the area! read more

Delicious but confusing. Had to specifically ask for tahini for the a la carte falafels. Asked for "extra" before walking away, and got two tiny containers of tahini, and only later noticed the 6 falafel wouldn't have come with *any* tahini if I didn't ask for it. The plates came with triangles of pita but no hummus, tzatziki, tahini, etc, so it was incredibly confusing why the pita was there if there was no sauce or liquid of any kind (super small container of tasty garlic doesn't count). As much as it was all delicious in flavor, the plates ended up feeling very very dry and not fun to eat. For the price, I don't think I'll be returning, but if I had a hole in my pocket I'd eat here every day, I'd just make sure to order sides of hummus, tzatziki, tahini or any other sauce... So yeah... Very confusing. read more

We also were addicted with the sauce that we had to ask for it three times. The restaurant was spacious and had a really nice aesthetic in the bathroom. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Lol I guess I'm an outsider here but that was odd. I came in on a weekday evening and ordered some takeout which was prepared reasonably quickly and the flavors were fantastic! The price is a bit steep but I think the rice was delightful and everything had an excellent flavor. If I were totally budget unconstrained I would love to bring a big group here and really enjoy the full menu. However, if you sit in the restaurant too long you will absolutely be second hand smoking. My eyes were watering after about 10-15 minutes--or perhaps the kebabs made me emotional!

The plate came with a very good size wrap and a huge portion of french fries. The lavash bread of the wrap was well toasted and had nice grill marks. The chicken was tender and marinated and was drizzled with sauces inside of the wrap. The wrap also came with some veggies inside and it was delicious. A perfect combination of different taste notes and textures. Each bite was juicy and yummy. To complement the wrap, the fries stepped it up too. Extra hot, right off the fryer, slightly crispy on the outside and delicious and soft on the inside. This meal definitely filled me up and I even left half of the fries behind--the portions are very generous. The spot itself is located amongst other little cafes in a somewhat an industrial design mall. There is a good number of tables for a quick dine-in. Will come back again!

I tried the chicken shawarma sandwich with fries. The cook made everything right before my eyes. The chicken shawarma was well-marinated with tzatziki sauce and vegetables. It was a big sandwich. The fries were well-seasoned and addictive. I stuffed some fries into my shawarma sandwich, making it extra delicious. I was also served a generous portion of fries and received friendly service. The prices are reasonable considering the big portion size I received, but unfortunately, I can't make it an everyday habit because of the price. My meal cost about 17 dollars. You can eat inside the food hall, but remember that the spaces are narrow and a table may be scarce, especially during lunchtime.

The salad was abundant with lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese and Greek olives, but lacked other ingredients usually associated with a Greek salad, namely, red onion, cucumbers and green peppers. Further, the peperoncino was dry and tasteless. The grilled chicken (an additional cost) was dry and not the least juicy. The pita was warm, soft and delicious however. My favorite salad of this type remains the chicken souvlaki salad at the Firehouse Greek restaurant not fair from this location. Their salad is far superior. Finally, when dining inside a restaurant such as this, it would be nice to have a real plate and silverware rather than a paper plate and one plastic fork.

Lemon Zest provided both delicious meals and excellent customer service, thanks to Natalie. We dined here on a busy Saturday night. We were seated immediately and didn't have to wait long to be seated. Our order consisted of 3 Combo # 1 with half rice and half salad, Chicken Lule Kabob with all garden salad, truffle Parmesan fries, Beef Kabob and Combo # 2 with half rice and half garden salad. Natalie also noted the fact that one of our family member has a peanut and tree nut allergy. We love dining at restaurants that accommodate people with peanut and tree nut food allergies. We have added Lemon Zest to our favorite restaurant list as we know Lemon Zest caters to families with food allergies. We also have shared and told our family and friends about Lemon Zest. The portions of their meals are plentiful and more than enough. The kabobs chicken and beef were all so tender and flavorful. The chicken and beef were not overcooked. The basmati rice was also cooked perfectly. We can't wait to come back to Lemon Zest and try other food items on their menu.

It was a bit low on Tzatziki sauce though. When I got there it wasn't too crowded, but as the afternoon was approaching it got very busy very fast and the place is not that big, so at the end it felt crowded. I left as the live music was setting up so didn't get to hear them, but they are supposed to be good. The service was ok, but lagged at times. The only think I can complain is the prices. Coming from Miami, I found that $53 for a gyro sandwich with fries, a Greek salad and a tea was waaaay too expensive. Granted, the restaurant is gourmet level and is in Los Angeles, but in Miami it would have been about as good for less than half. I still recommend it though, the food is great and you'll have to decide if it is too expensive for you all things considered.

The staff is always apologetic, but at some point it is just a management issue and lack of care. You have several people working behind the counter who have to get the ticket right. You have someone working the pass who needs to verify it is right. How do you keep falling down, not once, not twice, but almost every time we order online? The #1 aspect of the food service industry is attention to detail... if you can't get that right, might as well close your doors.

We ordered the meat combo plate, which came with beef lula kabob as well as chicken kabob and beef kabob pieces. The plate also came with hummus and because I came with my daughter and she demanded fries, I replaced the included basmati rice for freshly made fries. In addition, we decided to order a side of baba ganoush, which was very flavorful and just so worth it. The meats were outstanding. Both, chicken and beef kabob pieces were nicely marinated, perfectly grilled and delicious. The beef lula kabob really stood out to me and it's one of the better ones I've had in LA -- very juicy, well marinated ground beef and they cooked it so the juices are trapped inside the lula and they only get released after you bite into it. What I got was a perfect bite every time and those delicious beef juices made my taste buds say Yaaaaay and nourished my soul. Overall, a very good meal at a good price and it had my wife and daughter satisfied. The spot is located on a medium-size plaza with many parking spots. The inside is clean and has about 8 tables for dining in. The service was good and friendly. A worthy local place for a quick, delicious Mediterranean food. Will come back again!

This kabob place is a hidden gem! The meat is always juicy, well-marinated, and grilled to perfection. The portions are generous, and the rice is fluffy and flavorful. I especially love the garlic sauce and fresh salads that come with the meals. The service is friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. Whether you're dining in or taking out, it's consistently satisfying. Great value for the quality--definitely one of the best kabob spots around. Highly recommended! read more
