I wish I could say that I enjoyed the food. The up charges on credit card fees and side orders are a little extravagant. The chicken shawarma sandwich was very small for $14. If you wanted a side order with that they charged an extra $4 which was a surprise because it's hard to see the $4 up charge on the menu. However, the french fries were very good so I'm not really complaining about that. The sandwich was very tangy and the meat was dry. The beef shawarma plate that we got first came out with crispy crunchy beef that you could crunch into crumbles in your fingers. I sent it back and the second was cooked better but the flavor was extremely off-putting. There was an excessive amount of sumac on top of the meat, much more than is needed. Also , the taste of wine (I'm assuming it was in the marinade) was very strong. I thought that the baba ganoush I received as a side was very tasty and smoky. It did have a large amount of olive oil floating on the top which was a tad overkill but, still, it was tasty. The presentation of food was impressive. I must say that the service was very good. There was one server that was serving everyone in the entire restaurant and she was really on the ball. There was only one person cooking in the back so food was coming out a little at a time at our table of eight people. Some of us were almost done eating before the last person even got their meal. There were people at our table that got served first. Then we would see food going out to other tables before the rest of the people got served at our table. To me this was a little disorganized and it would really benefit this restaurant if they were a bit more organized and had an extra employee or two for lunch time. I guess the main issue we had was that the food was not good and it wasn't served to all the people at the table in a timely manner. All the food did come out hot thanks to our stellar server. Regarding returning to this restaurant, I do not think I will be returning. We have other Mediterranean restaurants in the area that have better food. A+ for the service and probably C- for the food.

We were one of the first ones in today for lunch. Unfortunately we did not have a great experience. One friends dish the beef Shwarma was overcooked and crunchy sent it back and the replacement was way over spiced. She didn't like it at all. The fries were good though. I ordered the chicken Shwarma with a salad and fries mine were ok in taste. Another friends dish didn't get her meal until way later by the time we were half way done she finally got her dish. Not a restaurant I would go back to personally. Another friends dish didn't had eaten here before said it was good so not sure we were here on an off day.

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.

We found this restaurant when we were in the area. The food was great and above expectation. We got the chicken kabob plate and combo kabob plate. Chicken is very juicy, tender and went great with the garlic sauce. The beef kabob is also great. Fries are crunchy. The plates presentation is beautiful. The place clean and cozy. Good customer services

Ordered 2 Chicken Kabob Plate with side salad and rice take out. Found a big chunk of dirt on the lettuce, lost our appetite. Made me sad because this is one of our favorite place where I have been referring a lot of clients to them.

Combo Kabob Plate with Kafta and Chicken
Archie S.

Out in the middle of Temecula you'll find this gem of a Mediterranean cuisine. Decent sized restaurant with some outdoor seating and indoor seating. Their have everything you would want to have in such cuisine. Lots of appetizers, plates and sandwiches to choose from. I am always and forever going to be a fan of kabobs so I had already decided on getting the kabob combination with Kafta and Chicken kabob. It comes with choice of a couple sides and I had chosen the rice and hummus. To start, I had ordered some falafel which were nice and crispy. The kabobs were declining and the hummus was very tasty and presented very well. I also had a bite of the lamb kabob and it was one of the most tender cuts I've ever had so it's highly recommended. Service would be better and more friendly but I care about food in such places more than service.

Falafels were my favorite!
Janet T.

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 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.

Chicken Kabob Plate

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!

I've had lots of hummus, but you could tell it was either store-bought or had been made ahead of time. This was not the case! It was so fresh that you could tell it was just made. Love that!!!! 10/10 for the hummus alone. Service was alright. It was very busy, so the ambiance was crowded and loud. The food took a very long time to come out. I ordered the falafel lover plate, which I was not happy with. The dish was lackluster. There were only 4 falafel on the plate, which surprised me since the dish is falafel lover. Falafel and rice. It was way overpriced for what you get. My husband got a dish with meat, rice and potatoes. He was not wowed by this either. It was not something he would order again. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things? The hummus was so mind blowingly good that I wish the entrees were equally delicious.

Got the Shish Kebob Plate and a series of Baklava to try and everything was fantastic!…read more The Shish Kebab (or Kafta) was well seasoned and moist, the rice pilaf was flavorful and the roasted veggies and the hummus were the perfect sides to compliment everything. My only minor note is that I wish the plate came with more roasted side veggies but that could be just a personal preference. I also got both tzatziki and the garlic sauce to try and both were good but I prefer the garlic sauce. The complimentary pita bread was huge, bigger than my head, and soft and buttery, similar to a naan and tasted fresh and homemade. Usually I don't like the pita served at restaurants because it's just prepackaged or shipped out but I ate the entire pita and liked it better than rice pilaf. PapaFeta also has a lovely baklava shelf filled with different regional styles of Baklava and naturally, I took several home to try. The cone shaped baklava was especially delicious, the pistachio and spiced sugar paste was the perfect ending to my meal. Thank you PapaFeta, I will be coming back!
