4. Lamb Kabob
Elizabeth A.

Location Just off 301. Parking Large lot-lots of space. Service Easy online order. Omar was very friendly and provided outstanding service. The executive Chef was there to greet me and attend to the food. Food We had the lamb kabob-very tasty. Omar offered us a variety of sauces which were all tasty. They substituted the spinach for cabbage-which was fine with us. Amazing! Served with pita. The rice was light and fluffy. The large salad was large-chopped well, and fresh. Summary Local, easy to order, friendly and attentive service, healthy food that is definitely gourmet! Delish!

1. Boneless Chicken Kabob
Artiium A.

Good Day good people! We have another spot that I needed to review,. If you been with me, you know how I like to do it, we rate, atmosphere, service and of course FOOD!! Let's get into it! Atmosphere (4.5 Stars) from the outside, it looks very dingy, for the longest I didn't go because I judged the outside (I normally don't do that lol) but I'm new to the area so at first it didn't do it for me. However inside it's definitely a friendly vibe. Service (5 Stars) the cook and the gentleman behind the register are great and friendly! Every time I go they have me laughing and make me feel like my business is important. If I could give them 10 stars I would for service! Food (5 Stars) I am NEVER disappointed! Everything is flavorful and seasoned!! This isn't just edible, it's actually GOOD! There's a difference. I had the Boneless Chicken chunks with rice and potatoes, wife had Tikki Marsala, with Naan.

Lamb chops
Arielle H.

I was craving some food on a random day and decided to do research on yelp and came across this establishment. It had five stars so I knew it had to be great. However, I was not impressed unfortunately. I ordered a lamb chops, which came with rice, a vegetable and a salad and of course the non-bread, the food was average. I cannot comment on the service and or the ambience in the establishment as it's just a carryout and I do not recommend eating there.

Lamb Kabob with Chickpeas and side of Potato Curry - delish!
Roshelle B.

Hubby and I were craving some lamb one COVID-mandatory-quarantined evening and KabobBQ was a top local result! We placed our orders conveniently online (I got the lamb kabobs with chickpeas and a side of potato curry and my husband ordered the lamb chops) and made our way for pick-up. Upon arrival we had to wait about 5 additional minutes (in our vehicle) which was no biggie at all because the kind gentleman brought out our food once it was done. The ride home was the worst - argh! My food was finger licking! The lamb was done to perfection, my chickpeas were seasoned perfectly, the potato curry was drool worthy (mind you I was going out on a limb ordering this as I had never had it and I'm glad I did), my side salad was FRESH and the perfect compliment, and the buttery naan was pillowy soft!!! I truly enjoyed my dinner! My husband on the other hand said his lamb chops were too spicy, but I disagree. I'm kicking myself for always passing by this spot and not stopping in until now. This was my first visit but def not my last!

Shrimp skewer meal with chick peas as the side
Crystal C.

The food at KabobBQ is delicious. That's not my issue. If you order online you pre-pay. I love the lambchops but literally 50% of the time I order either it charges me but says the restaurant didn't get the order or it charges me then I get a call saying they're canceling because they don't have lamb chops. There has to be a way for them to not let you order if an item isn't available. Today I ordered the shrimp skewer meal and added an extra skewer and the shorted me 1 shrimp. The skewers are 4 shrimp each but I only got 11 shrimp. I have only had one occasion where there wasn't an issue. Again, the food is delicious so I'll go again but I won't go out of my way for it because of the fear of disappointment

Lamb Biryani
John L.

My wife and I have been looking for good Indian food. This restaurant serves an Afghan version of Indian food. The vast majority of their reviews focus on the kabobs. They missed some great food here because this place is more than just kabobs!! We tried 8 dishes on 2 visits: Lamb Curry, Chicken Tikka Marsala, Lamb Biryani, Beef Wrap, Salmon Kabob, Shrimp Kabob, a side of spinach, and a side of Naan. The Naan is made in-house. On the first visit, it was hard and inedible. We told them on our second visit. We were given a second naan for free. That was great customer service!  It was chewy and a little crispy hard around the edge. The flavor was typical white flatbread. It was not worth the price.    The spinach dish had boiled spinach with a blend of simple seasonings like salt, pepper, and maybe garlic. It was bland. The Palak Chaat or Palak Paneer might be better.    The Shrimp Kabob had 4 shrimps. They were 21/25 size shrimp. It had a strong grilled flavor with a peppery marinade. They were tender and moist and the shrimp flavor was good. It's definitely worth getting!    The Salmon Kabob was one slice of salmon filet, about 4 inches long. It had a slight grilled flavor and a moderate salmon flavor with a hint of salt and pepper. It was tender and somewhat moist. A simple dish that was good tasting, but not great. The kabobs came with dipping sauces. There was a green sauce, a white sauce, and a hot sauce. The hot sauce was ground red peppers in water. It was extremely hot. It's that simple.    The green sauce tasted like it had mint, salt, pepper, vinegar, and a leafy green herb flavor. No heat in this sauce.    The white sauce tasted like a ranch dressing that was sour and peppery. These sauces were interesting and different from other Indian dipping sauces that we've had. Did we love them? They were okay. We've had better.    The Lamb Biryani had pieces of lamb, basmati rice, and yellow curry. It was spicy hot and flavorful; however, the overwhelming heat from the hot peppers in the curry needs to be reduced a little so the spices and seasonings can be appreciated. The basmati rice was cooked well. The lamb was tender and had a slightly gamey flavor. Overall, this dish had a pleasing combination of flavors that worked well together except for the excessive hot peppers. You can ask for a specific spice heat level. It ranges from 1 to 10. They use jalapeño peppers for heat. You can ask for no hot peppers also.    The Lamb Curry had chunks of lamb meat in an onion spice sauce. It came with basmati rice. We asked for heat at a 5 level. It was crazy hot! So, what is a 10? A flame thrower?!  In between bites, with some milk to drink, I could tell that the curry had many complementary ingredients of herbs, spices, and seasonings. With less hot pepper, this dish would be delicious. The lamb was moist, tender, and not gamey in flavor. My wife didn't mind the heat, so she loved it.    The Chicken Tikka Marsala had marinated chicken meat pieces with chopped onions in a tomato cream sauce. It came with basmati rice. It was slightly hot even though we ordered it without hot pepper. That was a mistake on their part. But we enjoyed it anyway. The chicken was tender and moist. This dish had a flavorful blend of spices and seasonings in the sauce and chicken. The tomato and cream flavors were balanced nicely. The flavor profile was well-rounded which made it satisfying and tasty.    The Beef Wrap had a soft corn tortilla filled with lettuce, tomato, onion, a piece of ground beef, and white sauce. The tortilla was huge compared to the filling. There was a small amount of tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. There was one strip of beef made of seasoned ground beef. It was small in size. The beef flavor and seasoning were mild. Basically, it was a corn tortilla with a little flavor from the filling. It was not worth the money.    The dining room and restrooms were clean. There were 9 tables and 19 chairs indoors. There is no outdoor seating. Omar, Chef Hashim's son, was friendly, helpful, and informative. You can watch kabobs being grilled while you wait. It took some time for food to be prepared, like 35 minutes for a biryani, 2 kabobs, naan, and spinach. Good food takes time to make. We were pleasantly surprised to find some outstanding dishes here! We'll be returning for our favorites and to try some new dishes.

Grilled shrimp platter over basmati rice with curried potatoes
Cookie L.

I love this place. I love the flavors and the customer service. Both of these dishes were great. Seasoned perfectly. I personally like the drier rice but I know some don't. Just keep that in mind. They give you fresh Naan bread with your platters. Their green sauce and the spicy one are both delicious. Ask for extra if you use a lot of sauces. NY favorite side dish is the curried chickpeas. They are flavorful and tender. The spinach is awesome as well. I didn't give it a 5 because I think their prices are a little high for the portions they give. Otherwise, I love them.

Salmon and Shrimp Kabob Combo
Alicia W.

My husband and I drove 50 minutes to try this place out due to the reviews. We easily found it located right off 301. The parking lot has an odd layout but that's not a big deal. The place is relatively small inside with about 5 tables. Right when I walked in I noticed two things, how cold it was and this loud, high pitched whistling noise. That's ultimately why I took one star off because we dined in and both the cold and sound were bothersome. That aside, the food and service were great. We both got a combo. I had the shrimp and salmon kabob combo. The combos come with salad, rice, bread and a vegetable. It's a great deal. The shrimp and salmon had great flavor and were cooked perfectly as were the rice and potatoes. The potatoes could've used a bit more salt in my opinion. They gave us ranch for the salad but I noticed unlike traditional ranch it had a bit of a kick. They also gave us 3 sauces, a vinegar based sauce, one yogurt based, and a spicy sauce. I loved the spicy sauce but beware, it's spicy like ghost pepper or reaper, not jalapeño or even habanero. I tried to order the palak chaat but they didn't have any unfortunately. We took a rice pudding and baklava to go. The rice pudding was ok but the baklava was amazing. My husband and I agreed it was the best we've ever had. We will definitely be back when we're in the area.

7. Paneer Shashlik with chickpeas and no rice
Gina G.

What a hidden gem! This place may not look like much on the outside but it's worth a visit. I picked up a to-go order and the car smelled amazing the whole drive home. We loved the chicken kabob--cooked perfectly, with barbecue crispy outside, and juicy meat inside. The curries were also deliciously bold with plenty of seasoning, aroma, and creaminess. The sauces that accompany the dishes also enhance the flavors. Highly recommend for a decadent dinner!

New halal spots pique my curiosity, unlike the average restaurant. It's almost impossible for them…read moreto be both overpriced and bad. At worst, it is one of the two (with exceptions). This establishment seems to be Egyptian owned, as the walls claim that Egyptians created bread, cupcakes and falafel. The service was fine, though the tables could have been cleaner. I appreciate that they allow you to substitute some of the rice portion for lettuce/spring mix although the spring mix was wet. They also offered both spicy and regular options for rice and chicken. I got spicy rice with spicy chicken, and for my toppings I got Mediterranean salad, hummus, and tzaziki. I didn't realize you could also get white sauce, green sauce, etc, so I probably wouldn't get tzaziki and get olives or something else next time. The chicken and rice combo was a bit overly spicy for me and upset my stomach slightly. I'd probably get regular for both the next time. I also got tiramisu which they recommended over all the other "cupcakes" which they claim (via the wall) is Egyptian. The tiramisu was surprisingly good. There was soft music that seems Arabic-speaking. They have fountain drinks as well as bottled beverages. They also include a service charge - it was like $0.42 for me. I don't regret stopping by, but I wish my stomach was more settled. I just came from a restorative yoga class and I was thoroughly at peace.

GO HERE. I've been charging near here for a while now and we've always gone to the other…read morerestaurants nearby. But, I've always made a comment about wanted to try this place. Well, this time we actually tried it. I'm a simple caveman - we've got a bowl with basmati rice, chicken AND lamb/beef gyro, tahini, and hummus. Hits the damn spot. Fountain drinks, combo options, cups for water, and bottled drinks. You go down the line, say what you want (like every fast casual these days), and end up at the register. Fast operation. Plenty of seating indoors.

Fresh. Flavorful. Remarkable. The line was long and after one bite, it made perfect sense why…read more Mezeh delivered a fresh Mediterranean bowl that was packed with texture, flavor, and quality ingredients from top to bottom. I ordered the Vibrant Vegan bowl with falafel, brown basmati rice, lentils, tabbouleh, hummus, pickled onions, cabbage slaw, and lemon garlic sauce. Every ingredient tasted fresh and intentional. The falafel had a perfect crisp exterior while staying soft and herbaceous inside, and the lemon garlic sauce tied everything together beautifully. As someone who loves Cava, this immediately gave me that same customizable Mediterranean experience -- but honestly, this bowl held its own. The vegetables were crisp, the portions generous, and everything looked just as good as it tasted. Even after taking it back to the hotel, it still ate incredibly well. The staff moved the line efficiently despite how busy it was, and the open kitchen concept added to the experience watching everything being prepared fresh. Definitely a spot worth the wait if you want something flavorful, fresh, and satisfying without feeling heavy.

Was staying at one of the nearby hotels, so we swung in for lunch!…read more The space has lots of seating for small and medium groups! A fast casual spot, you get to choose from a pre-set choice or build your own Mediterranean entree. Bowl, pita, or salad...with tons of topping and sauce options to choose from. They were a bit understaffed for the lunch rush, so it was a bit longer of a wait than it should have been, in my opinion. I built my own rice bowl on this visit, which included chicken, veggies, hummus, and a few other random goodies! It was super yummy and came served up with a side pita. My only critique was that the protein serving size was smaller than I expected for the price. Overall, a great, healthier option for lunch or dinner in the area!
