    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.

    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

    Combo Kabob Plate with Kafta and Chicken

    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!

    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.

    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 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.
