Lentil soup

This place is too lonely to be this good it's so yummy! And the service was fast and welcoming

Beef Kabob
Anna H.

Got takeout - kabob plate and a delicious side salad. Food was very fresh. The hummus was also good. I appreciated the portion size! I felt the tzatziki sauce wasn't as flavorful as usual but I appreciated the generous sides. I also loved the grape leaves.

Chicken Shawarma Bowl

Tried several Mediterranean spots in downtown, wanted to try a new one. Found Kabob House nearby in Golden Hill. Was skeptical at first, it was empty at 5pm on a weekday. Glad I found this hidden gem! Food is authentic, service size is large. Within 10 minutes, 5 deliveries were picked up to go & another 5 people came to eat. Then the dinner rush. Ambiance is relaxing & seems like this is where all the locals come for Mediterranean food. Most of the people that came to dine in walked here, they didn't pull up in a car. Will be coming back often.

Tilapia fillet plate

10/10: love Mediterranean food in general but the flavors were really spot on in this dish! Will eat here again if I'm in the area!

This is the chicken kabobs meat.  Most places I go have real chicken so I was surprised.  I couldn't eat it.  Not real sure what it was

The food is horrible. I ordered a Greek Salad with the kabobs chicken on the side. Its hard to ruin a Greek salad but not using Kalamata olives is one way. Boring black olives. The chicken was some sort of processed durivative of chicken I think. It was rubbery almost. Service was great.

Menu

Great portions and flavor was on point here! I got chicken shawarma with couscous, spicy hummus and tabouli. My sister got the beef kabobs with the same sides as me. Food was brought out fast and the girl at the register was nice and was ready to answer any questions we had. Plenty of seating as well.

I ordered the chicken shawarma salad around 8:30 PM, just wanting a quick, protein-packed meal. When I got home, I weighed the chicken, it came out to about 130 grams, which was great in theory. But as you can see in the photo, I couldn't eat a good 30% of it. The chicken was incredibly dry, chewy, and had a texture like dried skin, completely unappetizing and inedible. The total came out to $20 because I had to pay an extra $1.50 just to get tzatziki dressing. Maybe I'm spoiled, but dressing should be included with a salad. For that price, I expected better quality and consistency. Disappointed overall.

Fresh chicken 1. Shawarma Plate and 6. Gyro Plate
Dramos T.

Ordered late night 830pm on 6/4/25. We paid $5 for a variety of extra sauces and once again they didn't give us the sauces we paid for. 2nd times they've done this and screwed up our pick up order, and when we brought it up before they gave no recognition or offer to refund. It's the same girl and guy working the late night shift who clearly doesn't double check to make sure everything is there or pay attention to the orders. Won't ever order from them again, they just lost a long time customer.

Beef Kabob Plates w/ sides: Dolma, Tabbouleh, Hummus
Anush G.

Kabob House is hard to beat! Their service is quick and the food is amazing. My sister and I both got the beef kabob plate. The kebab was juicy and flavorful, the rice was delicious, and the tabbouleh was very fresh! This is my new spot for a quick fix of mediterranean food in San Diego.

10/10 I love it i usually don't eat chicken or meat in general and this place food is well done

Gyro Combo
Liz P.

The portions here are HUGE! The gyro was flavorful and melts in your mouth. It went great with the hummus!

First time trying this small place called kebab and do yourself a favor…read more Get the SD Wrap with saffron chicken 10/10

I was on jury duty today and I wanted to have some Shawarma so I looked up on yelp and found the…read moreK-pop shop was about a 20 minute walk away. The menu was a bit confusing, but I know that I like grilled veggies and Greek salad and then Ike was able to pick my protein that I wanted so that seemed easy enough. The base price with falafel or chicken Shawarma was Close to $16 but since I chose the meat, they added two dollars to my total. It took about 10 minutes for them to assemble my meal, but my veggies were cooked fresh on the stove, which was really nice. They tasted very freshly cooked just as they would as if I had cooked them myself at home. I was there about 1245 on a Monday and there were a few people there and they had some takeout orders so my order took about 10 minutes before I could walk out the door with it. They had a nice condiment bar where you could pick out some yogurt with dill sauce and then they're famous garlic yogurt sauce, as well as a jalapeño sauce And another spicy hot one that I would never try. When I got back to the jury room to eat my meal, I saw that there was a nice quantity of the fresh salad and the grilled vegetables but the meat was piled high! The employees were working efficiently and the place was spotless and orderly.

Our second experience we got the chicken shawarma Brian's way. Everything was cooked well, but I guess although I like pickles, I'm not as big a fan of Mediterranean pickles. The first bite or two were actually good, but subsequent bites the pickle tanginess was overwhelming and just not so pleasant as I finished it. I thought maybe I'll get it without the pickles next time. However, after eating I got an unexpected headache that usually comes from ingestion of MSG. The fries were tasty... maybe there was MSG in those? Not sure. I've honestly had much better phenomenal shawarma in San Joes CA. I have yet to find a great Shawarma here in San Diego. Feel free to recommend.

Soooo Delicious!!!…read more Service was excellent!!! Owners made all the food to order and served the dishes to everyone. They interacted with all the customers, explaining the menu, and giving recommendations. They were very friendly and welcoming. Food was DELICIOUS!!!! Everything was made fresh to order. I came for brunch and ended up overeating... it was soo good, I couldn't stop. I ordered some tea, a bowl of amazing garlicky Foul (pronounced fool, an open faced meat pie (lahm bajeen) in the flakiest lightest crust I've ever had, and super sweet and extra cheesy Kunafi with Kaack for desert. I was so impressed, I ordered dinner to-go (Stuffed kusa (known as mexican squash) and stuffed cabbage). Large beautiful dining area, great for small or big groups. Warning, parking is tight.

Inside is decorated well and has plenty of room for groups. The menu has depth with starters consisting of salads, bread and entrees. For drinks it ranges from nonalcoholic, wine, beer, tea and a house made coffee. W For drinks we had the fresh lemonade with mint. This was sweet but not overpowering. I recommend this drink. I ordered the fisherman's rice and it is enough for two hungry adults. The love dessert is a showstopper! Save room for this delicious dessert! We see many returns visits to experience this delicious food! Enjoy!
