    Chicken Shish Kabob Plate (all rice, no salad)
    Chloe H.

    Kabob Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat with my family! I've been coming here for years because their food has the best flavor, the customer service is always great, and everything is consistently fresh. I always order either the Lamb Rack Kabob Plate or the Chicken Shish Kabob Plate. What I love most about their food is the flavor and how the meat is always juicy and never dry like at other restaurants. Their food tastes just as good in-store as it does to-go, so I frequently order both! Their plates also come with salad dressing, tzatziki and garlic sauce. I especially love the garlic sauce because it adds an extra kick without an overwhelming garlic flavor. I always look forward to my food from Kabob Cafe, but I also really look forward to seeing the family owners, Sid and his son, Iman! They're both so nice and welcoming and always make sure my family's order is prepared exactly how we like it. I usually order my plate with all rice and no salad, and they never miss a detail, which I really appreciate. The combination of consistently delicious food and genuinely friendly service is what keeps me coming back to Kabob Cafe every week!

    Food is prepared fresh and presentation is beautiful. Taste and quality is spot on! You can really tell the owner takes pride in his restaurant. My wife's chicken kabob plate was enough for 2 people with moist chicken and tasty white rice. My gyro with lamb & beef was really good. I changed from garlic sauce to cucumber sauce. Greek side salad was fresh and crispy. There was also plenty of pictures of menu items to help you choose the next great tasting dish coming out of this kitchen. We WILL be back!

    The food is like a 5 sit down restaurant but it's more of a fast food atmosphere in the food court center. We got the combo chicken and lamb shish kabobs. Very good favored moist and delicious. Normally we get the salad with it but we chose to get more rice due to the lettuce parasites going on right now. Not that they have any issues with their lettuce we are just taking precautions. We have been here several times and very time they are on point and never disappoint! We have been to other competitors and they don't compare to Kabob Cafe so we always end up coming back. The restaurant is clean some seatings inside or outside also. We always have great customer service and they help us with any questions we have on choosing a good dish. It's a little bit on the expensive side but you get what you pay. I'd def recommend coming for lunch or dinner so worth it!

    Very clean and tidy place. Service is pretty good. It was busy with lunch traffic! We ordered a platter for 4 which came with their Greek Salad w dressing, Rice with Tomatoes, Garlic Sauce, Tzatziki & Pita along with 4 skewers beef koobeideh and one lamb. Ordered a hummus too. The guy at the counter was sweet enough to give boneless chicken skewer on the house! Food was very hot and delicious. It was good enough for 6 people. Very flavorful and price is pretty good too.

    Wow, their food is absolutely delicious! Tried the koobideh combo with both ground beef and ground chicken. Both were very juicy, tender and flavorful. For the side I selected the Greek salad, which was good too. A little heavy on the olives, but that's my bad, I should've asked for those to be left off. We also ordered the gyro wrap (in a tortilla) and really enjoyed that as well. Tasted really good, but I will say that it's a little bit on the small side and is served a la carte, so it doesn't include any sides. The owner, who was incredibly kind, also gave us a sample of their chicken shish kabob (chicken breast) to try. It was really tender and flavorful. Would definitely order that next time too. We'll be back, and probably soon!

    Chicken kabob meal
    Dave M.

    Food here is always consistent. A nice lunch spot. The only criticism is that it is very expensive but unfortunately I think this is just the new reality of food costs. The gentleman that works the counter is very friendly. I recommend this spot. Pros: Consistent high quality meal Fast Cons: Price is very high for fast casual food.

    Lamb Koobideh, Lamb Shish kabob and Salad
    Rahi M.

    Excellent food, made to order. Skewer of Shish Kabob meat was so tender and juicy, I didn't want it to end. Koobideh (ground beef) kabob was delicious too. I've been here several times and it never disappoints.

    I come here once a year. Every time i come here, friendly staff, amazing quality of the food and super nice owners have made sure that my experience was a 10/10. If you ask anyone they will tell you the quality of the meat is not found anywhere else. Thanks again and will be back next year.

    Holy smokes! I saw the good reviews, but I was not expecting this place to be as good as it was. I got the chicken and steak kebabs. Delicious! Chicken was so tender I could cut it with a fork. Next time I'm in Lake Forest I will be back.

Unfortunately I didn't check the platter till I got home. Mixed Kebab for 5 ($80) - This plate is supposed to come with 3 skewers each of (tawook, kefta, beef kabobs), beef shawarma, chicken shawarma, salad, rice, fries, garlic sauce, tahini, grilled vegetables. The plate was missing the shawarma meats, fries, and some of the grilled vegetables. I saw a picture from someone's Yelp review that did have the shawarma meats and clearly I was not provided with that. The food was just ok, nothing really stood out except the beef kabobs were tender and juicy. Overall, I'm disappointed that they didn't include all the items mentioned on the menu. I did see someone's Yelp review from February and the same thing happened to him. When he complained to the management, they gave him some additional items and told him our menu has changed. If the menu has changed, then it should be updated, it's been over 5 months! Also the platter as it was provided to me is definitely not enough for 5 people. Tried calling a few times and they don't pick up the phone.

For some reason I was craving some Shawerma so I had ordered their Shawerma Plate which comes with Beef and Chicken Shawerma along with some salad, hummus, pita bread and rice. To my dismay, the both meats were very dry. I feel like it lacked seasoning as it had no flavor unless I covered it with their garlic sauce. Hopefully it was just an off day or dry because there were no customers at the time but hoping this place just had an off day with their food.

I should've known better, but I remember the soup being pretty good and since it's in our neighborhood, thought we'd give it one more try. We did a togo for $60 and we were basically given garbage, so old and past its prime, everything should have be in the trash. The pita that was served was all stale, hard and tasted like dirty oil. The falafel was overcooked, dry and tasteless. The rice was overcooked mushy with no flavor. Grape leaves taste tasted like canned and bitter. My finance picked up the online order and we have an email receipt and order number for 4.17. We both did reviews and he was so upset he paid for food he could not eat. I was sick and wanted soup, I stayed in the car when he went in to pick it up so that's why I'm not on his "camera". My review is legit, regardless of what the owner is stating. Rather than dispute my review, the owner should try and apologize not make claims against my integrity. I will not have someone antagonize me to try to get me to remove my authentic review as an Elite. Be aware that if you go here, the food might not only be bad but you'll be treated like a criminal for having honest feedback and have to be harassed for weeks after all because you wanted some soup.

It came with hummus AND a fresh salad AND a side of fresh baked in-house bread. I had to do a double take. You can also order the bread on its own as a standalone item, which is a genuinely unique touch. I cant name one other casual place that bakes their own bread. Show up Monday, Wednesday, or Friday and you can take advantage of their buy one get one 50% special too.
