Dining area
Paul S.

Temecula is spreading out more as the housing developments find more land, and the topography adds to the convoluted nature of the city. That's my experience at least. Recently I was working elsewhere in the city and decided that I wanted to explore new eateries above a few favorites, especially in the Middle Eastern category. That's how I found Kabob House, on Yelp. Over the hills and through the ravines was the route Google Maps laid out, and I found myself in a shopping center that also contained an Italian restaurant called Francesca's. I almost went there after browsing the food porn, but I stayed focused and found myself in a quaint dining room with nice use of light and shade. It's popular, too, I realized as the tables slowly began to fill up on a Sunday evening. Not packed, but definitely busy. There's also an active take-out and delivery business (via Uber Eats and Doordash I surmised). A Kabob combo is always a good place to start, so I appreciated the options available, such as Kafta and beef. They offer choices to round out the place and I picked rice with a salad. I could have picked hummus, too, but either way, a handful of triangle cut pita bread are standard. The salad arrived first, I thought I requested the Greek style but the Caesar was actually very good and I didn't complain. The meal arrived on a large, heavy plate with tall sides (why don't more places do that?) and beautifully arranged. Very colorful, with a few dashes of sumac as garnish. The beef was a tad overcooked and a little smaller in portion than other places I've been, but the Kafta was moist and had fresh herbs and spices. Clearly the better of the two, but the collective experience was satisfying. I liked the rice pilaf and pita, and I was full afterwards. I noticed that they have an extensive wine variety, but I suppose you'd have to ask for a list. Something to keep in mind, especially if there are wines by the glass. A Spanish varietal red or Syrah would be perfect for beef and lamb dishes, unoaked Chardonnay or Voignier for chicken plates. Next time I'll explore the Shawarma options and an appetizer or something.

Chicken kabob with hummus and baba ghanoush.
Christopher V.

The food was good, the hummus was tasty the baba ghanoush tasted too burnt. They did not have the drink we wanted that was on their menu, the service was quite slow, after we ordered there were many takeout orders that came out plus all of the appetizers for other tables that placed those orders long after ours was placed, so getting our food took way too long. The over all vibe of the interior was nice and appeared very clean.

Falafels were my favorite!

I just LOVE Mediterranean food and so glad that Temecula has a lot of good Mediterranean food spots to go to. My review for this Kabob show has been overdue but here goes... SONG of the DAY to play along to this YELP REVIEW: You Were Always on My Mind by Willie Nelson... All those hungry, hungry times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're in town Little things I should have ordered and ate I just have to try next time You were always on my mind Kabob House... FALAFEL: 10/10 Is nice and Crispy! I love falafels!! FRIES: 9/10 Taste great while it's still hot! And tastes amazing with tzatziki sauce!! SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Very welcoming, attentive and friendly service. Thank you. PARKING: Plenty of parking in this plaza! ROCK ON KABOB HOUSE!!!!!

Chicken Kabob Plate
Amanda P.

Oh my gosh I just love middle eastern food! My bf surprised me with a new spot to try out and I was extremely thrilled. It's super cute inside, not a huge spot, but a hidden gem for sure. The service was great although at the time we were the only table I feel like our waitress would've been just as attentive and friendly. We decided to try the beef boreg as an appetizer. A dish I've never had before but loved the savory flavors mixed with the warm spices and the tangy tzatziki. I am a gyro fiend so i had to order that along with the rice. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The tangy tzatziki, the fresh tomato and onion, ugh, so good. I loved the lemony rice topped with sumac (I'm guessing?). My bf tried the chicken kabob plate with hummus and rice as well. The chicken was so moist and had amazing flavors, I really enjoyed the bit of tartness of the hummus as well. Presentation was beautiful on all dishes as well, I'm so excited to come back!

The environment is very clean and organized. Beautiful place to grab lunch with a friend. The cashier was very nice and patient with it being my first time. The food did come out fast and hot. Definitely coming again

We had a wonderful lunch for our first time at the Kabob House today. The server was super on top of things. The ambience was cozy and modern. Everything we have was fresh and tasty along with being truly authentic. We look forward to returning and trying other menu items.

this Mediterranean spot was tasty! i always look for good quality hummus & rice and this spot had fluffy and savory rice. for my taste, i like my hummus to have a bit more garlic-y aroma, but this hummus wasn't too strong. still creamy though! their bread felt like it was not too fresh, but maybe it's because came a little later towards end of the night. their family style was pretty large! service was chill, not too many people were waiting for a table either so we just walked in. otherwise would try again if in the area.

Beef Shawarma Plate
R C.

An excellent place to eat. My wife and I enjoyed the food. I got the beef shawarma with a Greek salad and fries, my wife got the chicken kabobs with the salad also and baba ganash. Their hummus is excellent, so creamy! Our server, a young lady was very attentive and helpful, thank you. The restaurant is small and the ambiance is very pleasant. Thank you kabob house for an enjoyable dinner, we will recommend you and return.

Kabob House - 6. Chicken Shawarma Plate

Kabob House

(827 reviews)

Kabob House is amazing - an absolute hidden gem in Riverside that I've had at least 20 times in the…read morelast 7 years. I've had halal kabobs from restaurants all over SoCal and the country and this place is still my favorite. It's a great option for catering (I always get the family platter pictured) and this was my go to place when we lived nearby - the flavors are tasty but not too overpowering so it works for all guests no matter their spice preference. We still drive up to 30 mins to cater from here because the food is always so good and a reliable hit with any guests that we have over. FOOD: The meat is not just flavorful but most importantly, it's somehow always just so moist, so juicy, and so tender all the way through. And it's not just the meats - every item they serve is just really unexpectedly delicious. At most kabob places, the rice/pita/salad/hummus are just weak add ons to fill up the plate, but these items are always so delicious at Kabob House and you can always taste the flavor bursting in every item (my fav is the salad which has a lemon/vinegary kick to it that just elevates the meal). All the items on the menu are great, but my personal favorite is the salmon kabob (if you've never had a salmon kabob, do yourself a favor and try it out and at least add one skewer of it if you get a combo) - the owner recommended this to me years ago, and I've always added at least a couple skewers every time since - all my guests rave about it. SERVICE/AMBIANCE It's a small casual family owned restaurant and the service is always super friendly. You can see the food being made fresh behind the counter which shows their confidence - it's clear they take immense pride in the quality of all their items and are eager to share their food and Palestinian heritage. The price is also exceptional value for the quantity of food you get, especially compared to other similar restaurants. OVERALL: I will continue to eat from here and would highly recommend trying it out.

"Personally I never open a session of parliament without eating a kebab first."…read more ROBERTA METSOLA One just has to love the Kebab, or Kabob ;-) Was in town checking out potential sites for a new affordable housing project and at the end we all checked yelp and this spot was close by. Reviews were good, local hole in the wall, let's find out... Service is counter, friendly and nice. As befits the current economy, prices are a bit higher for a local lunch. Food was excellent, enjoyed my Kafta very much although I would have preferred a grilled tomato and peppers like other places have. Bread was good, rice was good. Soda refillable :-) I will definitely try again when in the city. Recommended!!
