if the owner walks up to you, ask him what he recommends, and just go with it. what a delicious experience. if he has a lamb shank going, get it and you'll thank yourself later. read more

When I tell you this is hands down the best kabob, hummus and tabouleh I've had in CLE, it's no joke. I literally scraped the bowls clean. The owners are the cutest couple and their food is all homemade (with love ) read more

Kabob House - kabob, hummus and tabouleh - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Truly enjoyed the lamb wrap and fried cauliflower I had today! What a treat and the lady at the counter was a gem! First time I was here, but will definitely become a regular! read more

Another solid lunch spot nestled away in the arcade. Everything here is very homemade and authentic. The falafel were fresh large patties with a great crunch and seasoning. My main qualm is that the lamb wrap I ordered about half of the lamb was still very under done and inedible. read more

Kabob House - customers at the counter - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

The best! Downtown, cheap and delicious middle eastern food. It is a go to for my coworkers often. I love the falafel sandwich. I try to stay away from rice, but theirs is always cooked perfect. The garlic sauce is delicious too! The only down fall is parking if you need to drive there to pick up your food... what we do it 2 of us go, one of us stays in the car roaming around until the other person picks up the food... it works out well to get our delicious food. They only take cash. read more

It's little. It's unassuming. It's got pictures of hummous on the walls. Kabob House is a little takeout stand that has the usual lineup of popular Middle Eastern specialties-- steak kabobs, chicken kabobs, kifta, falafel, hummous, baba, spinach pies, lentil soup. What keeps me going back is the ultra fresh ingredients and the preparation on a real grill. I had the kifta combo today-- kifta (ground beef with onions, parsley, tomatoes and spices mixed in, then grilled), rice pilaf and a salad. The kifta was brightly flavorful and juicy- my only complaint is that it was a bit salty. It was accompnied by a skewer of freshly grilled tomatoes and onions. The pilaf had a nice toasty, buttery flavor, but was not greasy in the least. The salad was a simple lettuce, tomato and cucumber mix, lightly dressed with olive oil and lemon juice and topped with pita chips. (Not traditional fattoush-- no sumac--but good). The veggies were all astonishingly fresh. I've had the steak and chicken kabobs before-- both fresh and juicy. They marinate all their meat, so it's got a great, complex flavor. NB: they are liberal with the onions. Buy Altoids if you have a meeting. The people who run the place are really nice and accomodating-- you can mix and match your meats in the combo if you feel like it or ask for more salad and no rice! The proprietress and I chat about mujadarah recipes. One can never be too well versed in the art of mujadarah. read more

CONSISTENTLY good! the owners/employees are SO friendly! The food is always delicious and fresh. Today was my most recent visit. I got my usual - the falafel sandwich with hot sauce - and then decided to try the spinach pie. I tend to always forget that a spinach pie is not always the same as a spinach feta pie, and I don't generally like the plain, tart spinach pies at most middle eastern places, so I wasn't a fan. But, that's just my own personal taste / mistake. The falafel balls were super fresh and moist, and the toppings were perfect - lettuce, tomato, white tahini sauce, tangy and spicy hot sauce, and pickle. The pita was soft and chewy as usual. SUPER tasty Anyways, this time I got the falafel, spinach pie, a bottle of water, and a bottle of snapple peach tea.... ALL FOR $8.00 .... Worth it?? I think so!!! read more

I have eaten here a few times in the past, but never got around to posting a review. I ventured here on yesterday for lunch, looking for something fresh & light. I opted for the hummus wrap with a side of tabouli. First of all you can't beat the prices here. My hummus wrap was $3 and the generous side of tabouli was only $2.75. The wrap was perfect. The pita bread was soft and fresh, the veggies (lettuce, tomatoes etc), were cool and fresh and the hummus was creamy and garlicky, just they way that I like it. The tabouli was very fresh, but just ok, way too many onions for me. All in all this was a good meal, especially for the low, low price of $5.75! read more

Wonderful food and very reasonable prices! I'm a fan of the falafel sandwich and add a side of mujadara. The whole thing comes to $6, which is rediculous for the large portions they give you. And ... like all of the great little places in Cleveland, this is only open for lunch. Shame. read more

Food is on point! I could eat here and everyday, and since I work downtown... I practically do! I adore everyone who works there, they are so friendly and I always walk away in a good mood. Every single thing I've ever ordered has been awesome. My go-to is the chicken kabob combo (2 grilled chicken kabobs, side of fattoush salad, delicious rice - not sure what kind) with all salad (substitute the rice for more salad) with cucumber sauce on the side. They also have a side of garlic sauce that you can ask for... their garlic sauce is no joke, it's so good, but warning: you will be breathing garlic for the rest of the day. Sometimes it's worth it. :) The fattoush is super simple but always delicious fresh crispy lettuce and tomatoes and I'm in love with the dressing. One of these days I need to see if they'll give me the recipe. I have a feeling that it might just be lemon & olive oil... it's perfect and refreshing. Their humous is some of my favorite that I've ever had and the baklava is heavenly. No frills. Food counter located in the 5th street arcade. I usually get it to go and bring it back to my office - but the 5th street arcade is a nice place to grab a table for lunch because there is so much natural light and cool atmosphere with tons of little shops. Cash only. read more

I wish this place was open longer! Other than their hours (10:30 am-3pm), this is one of the BEST middle eastern places not just in downtown Cleveland but around Cuyahoga County! Affordable prices, GREAT food and nestled inside a nice little area on Euclid. I can't wait to see what else is available and try something else next time. read more

Kabob House - List can change daily, but this written menu shows their reasonable prices and what your choices are. - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

See all

It's located on the south side of the connection between the Colonial Arcade (to the east) and the Euclid (or 5th St) Arcade (to the west); it's closer to the 5th St Arcade side. They only accept cash. There is an ATM right next to the restaurant. The lady behind the counter is very friendly and directs newcomers on the menu. The portions are large in terms of the combo plates. I got the chicken kabob combo. You get 2 grilled kabobs (chicken and - a few - onion slices) over a bed of rice that fills half the plate. The meat is grilled fresh to order and you can watch it cook. The other half of the plate is salad, which had a lot of dressing on it to the point that it was puddling in the bottom of the plate. There was also 1 large pita provided. They also offer a quarter sized container of sauce to go with your lunch - I got the garlic sauce. I got a side of hummus which was really good and thick. read more

Great local family-run business with fresh and delicious food. I stop here once in awhile for lunch, and I always get the chicken kabob meal. The grilled kabobs come served over rice, but I ask for salad in the large part of the to go container, with hummus and rice in the small compartments. The salad is so good, and you also get a side of pita bread. Very flavorful lunch option. Overall: friendly service, good prices and good food. Tip: make sure you bring cash or your ATM card (there's one right there), as it's cash only! read more

Love this place!!Very fresh food,friendly owners. The chicken kabob combo with the garlic sauce is my favorite. They only accept cash which tends to be somewhat inconvenient in a plastic society but there is an ATM in the building. Great place to grab lunch. read more

Kabob House - Chicken kabob combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Best lunch downtown!!! Falafel is always fresh. Can't go wrong with the rice, cauliflower or fattoush either. Could eat there everyday and almost do. The family that owns it brings not only great food, but incredible kindness to the city as well. read more

Stopped by here to get a chicken kabob and it was delicious. The seasoning was great, it was cooked perfectly and was very reasonably priced. Both people working were super nice too. I would definitely come back and try more! read more

Just a small Kabob shop in the mall, but the food is great & the people are lovely :)

This place is a hidden gem. When I worked downtown I would eat here at least 4 times per week. Get the Chicken Combo - All Salad with garlic sauce. In addition to the great food, the family who owns and operates this place are as kind as can be. read more

It's not hard to get a satisfying and healthy lunch here for around $5. It's even less if you just want to snack on a spinach pie or two. Their falafel may not be Maha's (my benchmark for fried chickpea excellence), but it's quite good and very inexpensive. They make orders fresh and fast. It's a very nice option to have downtown. read more

I almost don't even want to write a review in order to keep this gem a secret! It is the definition of a Mom & Pop joint. They only take cash. I absolutely LOVE the chicken kabob meal. The salad is always super fresh, the chicken cooked perfectly and the rice on point! I prefer the garlic sauce to the cucumber but both are yum. If you are looking for fresh, healthy and flavorful this is the spot. The owners are very friendly and efficient for the lunch crowd. Definitely a winner for lunch. read more

Best falafel around. Very accommodating and equally reasonable prices. Just wish they were open a little longer.

Delicious food and generous portions- the $6 falafel platter is the best and cheapest vegan lunch I've had downtown. The falafel is light as a feather and green inside because they make their own using fresh herbs. The cauliflower side is also amazing when I want something different. Every time I go, I see the same three friendly people working, I love supporting this local business. read more

Kabob House - Falafel combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Best lunch spot! It's quick, inexpensive, and a healthy option from a mom-and-pop shop. Cash only- so be ready! But would highly recommend!

Excellent Middle Eastern food, the best downtown. I've been searching for good Mediterranean food in the city for lunch and kept getting disappointed. I held off on trying this place way too long because it's cash only. But the prices are amazing, the portions are great, and the service is quick and friendly. I get their falafel combo at least once a week now! read more

Most amazing food at the best prices!! The people that work there are just the nicest and so welcoming, its a place id definitely come back too read more

This is my favorite lunch spot downtown. The food is excellent and the people are really friendly. They are always smiling and it is obvious that they value your business which is rare for a downtown fast lunch experience (the food is too good to call it fast food). I normally go with the chicken kabob which is a couple skewers of chicken put on a pita with some other things including a pickle and some type of sauce. At $5.50, the price is also great. read more

My first review on Yelp and just stopping through to say that this is my favorite lunch place downtown. The food is quality, the price is right, and the people are very friendly. Can't beat it. Normally go with a chicken combo (2 grilled chicken skewers + rice + fresh salad) with hot sauce on the side, but lots of good Mediterranean (including vegetarian) options on the menu. read more

Stopped at Kabob House for lunch one day and was pleasantly surprised. Had the vegetarian platter and the falafel was fresh and bright with a nice crispy outside and moist tender inside. The tabouleh was a treat compared to most other restaurant-made tabouleh. It actually had more parsely than cracked-wheat, which is how it is supposed to be made. The hummus was the right consistency with a balance of flavors. I'm not a big fan of baba ghanoush but it came with the platter and I was pleasantly surprised by the spicy kick. For a quick lunch on the go it beats fast-food anyday and it beats many of the sit-down Middle Eastern places I've eaten. read more

A delicious, quick, and filling lunch for $6.95 makes Kabob House a part of my weekly lunch lineup. On top of that, the owners are so nice and friendly. I highly recommend. Just make sure you have cash to avoid atm fees because they do not accept credit card. read more

This place is a true lunch staple. Don't be fooled by the name -- Kabob is not the only thing on the menu. In fact, vegetarians have multiple delicious options. My favorite vegetarian offerings are the mujadara (lentil-rice plate with salad), falafel combo, grilled veggie skewers, and the fresh watermelon in summer. The salad is 100% romaine lettuce, always fresh and they make their own (DELICIOUS) dressing out of fresh-squeezed lemon juice and olive oil. So the salad combines perfectly into all the other offerings. Especially in the summer, I depend on having salad as part of lunch, and the Kabob house has so many good salad-combo options! read more

Fried cauliflower wrap sandwich for lunch? Yes, please. Super fresh, sweet friendly owners, what a little gem. Oh - and it was all of $3.50.

The other reviews must have been done by family or scared employees. The food was mediocre, and service was very, very rude. It was sad, I was very excited to go there. read more

The Kabob House offers various Mediterranean type foods all made fresh to order. I frequent this restaurant for lunch at least once or twice a week. Most items range between 4 and 5 dollars and are worth the price. I recommend the falafel sandwich. It's priced at $4.50 and very filling. They also offer various types of kabobs, sandwiches, hummus, and tabouli to name a few. This restaurant is great for lunch, and everything is cooked to order and very quick. This is a family owned place, and it's obvious the owners put a lot of love and care in their food and always very friendly service with a smile! read more

I love Kabob house. The falafel wrap is the best, and the customer service is quick, but really nice. A great sandwich at a great price.
