    Disappointed with the Katy Location Experience I used to love Kabob Korner when it was in Memorial--the food was flavorful, service was warm, and the overall experience made it a favorite. Unfortunately, the new Katy location didn't live up to those memories. From the moment we walked in, it felt off. There was no paper menu--only an online ordering system--which made things less personal. The restaurant had several employees standing around, but the service was minimal. Our waitress gave us just the bare minimum attention. Bottom of the barrel attention to detail. The appetizer arrived at room temperature--not hot or cold--and the mango lassi, which is usually a refreshing highlight, was served warm, not chilled. Overall, the food was underwhelming and lacked the vibrant flavors we remembered from the Memorial Kabob Korner days. I truly miss the quality and hospitality that once made this place great. I hope they can bring some of that original heart and consistency back. Ambiance is casual. No water refilled. No dishes taken away. If you look at the pictures, Textures were soggy.

    Screenshots from their website -- notice the price hike under the BOGO offer compared to the regular price

    We ordered from Kabab Korner on Wednesday, May 21, during their advertised BOGO deal--"Buy One Get One Free" on the BOGO MENU (select combo of TWO to get one OFF). Items like Chicken Biryani and Chicken Karahi were clearly marked as part of this offer. Naturally, we expected to receive two of each dish. To our unpleasant surprise, we only received one of each, and later discovered the standalone Chicken Biryani is regularly priced at just $12.99, but under this "BOGO" offer, we were charged $21.99 for Biryani and $19.99 for Karahi--with no free item included. That's nearly $7-9 more per dish for an offer that never applied. When we called the restaurant to report the issue, they said only Chicken Tikka was included in the BOGO--even though that was never mentioned while placing the order or on the main BOGO menu. Initially we thought it might have been a mistake, but after bringing it to their attention and getting no follow-up call despite their promise, we now believe this was intentionally misleading. It's been four days, and no one has reached out to resolve this. We are seriously concerned about their deceptive pricing and misleading advertising. Unless they correct this, we won't be ordering again--and we encourage others to double-check any "deals" before ordering. Attached picture from their website is one of the example of inflated price between BOGO and standalone order.

    Chicken shawarma

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dine in experience. Our waitress, Harpreet was amazing!!! She was extremely accommodating to my food sensitivities, friendly, attentive to detail, and checked on us frequently. We ordered the combination feast, but she was able to substitute it with chicken shawarma since the kabobs are marinated in yogurt. My husband had the shish kabob, kifta kabob and beef shawarma. He also ordered onion naan to accompany the meal. The platter comes with two sides, we ordered the three basmati rice and the Khatti daal. Two complimentary sauces- one is a Mediterranean whipped garlic tour and the spicy creamy cilantro. The food was delicious and seasoned well. I enjoyed my chicken and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the beef shish kabob (the one that looks like a medallion). The restaurant was clean, had pleasant ethnic music, culturally reflective decor. We'll definitely be back!

    I ordered the Kiffta Kabob Platter on Grubhub, and I picked it up. I did not enjoy it at all. The meat tasted like well seasoned hamburger meat. The texture and taste of the meat was not my forte. I expected the meat to be like Mean Grille on Richmond. I was totally let down after craving this since having it on Sunday.

    Very nice for in dining or curbside pickup

    Great place. Everybody was so friendly and customer oriented. I went by myself but everyone was so nice that not only was the food awesome, the ambience baby! I did notice customers ordered on line and picked up there food without a problem. I sat down to experience my succulent lamb chops cooked Asian style with a touch of yogurt to set it off. Side note: I will try that recipe at home. My chops were tender and seasoned well. What surprise me was that they were a nice size and so tender. It came with yellow rice but I ordered grilled onion, tomato and jalapeño. I also order hummus and Nan as my appetizer. I overdid it with a side salad. I had to try the ginger lemonade and that was a treat in itself. I posted a picture, I apologize that I ate some of it before I took a picture. I hate when I do that, I had to show you.

    What I paid for
    Michele M.

    So I decided to stop by kabob korner today and get lunch. The mint ginger lemonade was posted for $3.95 online but when I went in the store, she told me that it was $5.00. I asked her why was it $3.95 online. She said that I would have to make the purchase online and not in the store. I was confused and said OK and made the purchase online. So as I proceeded to select my items online and view my cart to check out I noticed that the Ginger Mint lemonade was not included. So I refreshed my screen and selected the zesty Gyro wrap, garlic naan, and ginger mint lemonade.. The ginger mint lemonade is now showing $6.10. So I walked to the counter and I see the lady with the ponytail (see photo) on her phone. I called her to the register and asked her why is the drink showing even more money now. She said oh that's how much that drink is. I said just a second ago it was $3.95 for the drink and she told me that it's never $3.95. I told her that's not true. I pointed to the lady in the Muslim attire and said I showed her earlier and she told me to get it at that price I would have to order it online. She called her over at which I explained again that the drink is now even more. She proceeded to tell me that $3.95 was for promotion and it's gone and they have no control over that. I told her listen I'm not here to play any games and that I knew that somebody just changed the prices and I am going to place a review on my experience here.. she immediately said OK I'll give you the drink for $3.95 because you did show me on your phone and I saw it so I'm going to give it to you. I told her that's the right thing to do. So I get my food once it was ready and went home. When I got home to eat my food I found that they gave me a classic Gyro that's $10.95 instead of the $13.42 zesty gyro that I paid for. The classic Gyro was very dry, bland, and not even what I paid for. You three ladies at Kabob 's Korner should be ashamed of yourselves.. It is completely wrong to not honor the prices that you display through your website and then lie about it in front of your customer.. Honesty and how you represent a business is important. I would not recommend this business to no one and will continue to shed light on this place until Management does something about this type of behavior. Very disappointed, dissatisfied, unhappy, still hungry.

    If you're craving some decent fish on a budget, this place might do the trick, but don't expect much else. The food is just okay--nothing to rave about. The fish and rice are probably the highlights, and they're surprisingly cheap for what you get. However, the dining experience leaves a lot to be desired. It's unbearably hot inside, which makes enjoying your meal a challenge. Plus, the tables and menus are pretty dirty, which isn't exactly appetizing.

    Jalapeno Crunch Burger

    One of the best niharis in town. Which has expanded its menu over the years. The sheikh kabob and chicken tikkkas are always perfect. However this time tried the mid jalapeño crunch burger was really juicy cooked well and full of flavor.

    Beef shawarma platter
    Johnson N.

    I just recently discovered this place and now I'm addicted. You get so much food for the price! My fiancée and I got the beef shawarma platted, mix shawarma platter, and added on two garlic naan ($2 each) for around $34 before tip. It was so much food and everything was delicious! The meats were seasoned well and the garlic naan was huge and covered in garlic. They gave us a bottle of garlic mayo to eat with our meals, but I noticed another table had a couple different sauces so I'll definitely make sure to ask for those when I go back (which will be soon)! Service was great as well. This might be my new favorite restaurant in Katy!

    CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

    KATY, TX / MEDITERRANEAN / 02-02-22 / TAKEOUT DINNER -The meat was over cooked and dry. The meat tasted like a gas grill. -The side salads were wilted and old. -The naan was meh; not fluffy, but rather doughy and just fell apart in your hands. -The tikka masala chicken was super salty. They forgot to give the entree's rice. -None of the workers were wearing masks, and the restaurant looked a little dirty. -There were sauce bottles with open tops; see my pictures. Flies, dust, and germs could definitely fall in to the sauce. I don't know what to say about this place, except my search for an awesome kabob restaurant continues!

    5x4 platter of spicy gyros, very small Hummus. Sauce 1oz.
    Sandy C.

    Used to be one of my favorite spots to eat. I get things are more expensive. But, don't cheapen it. Almost $15 plus for what you will see in the pics. ‍ There are elegant restaurants that give you Salmon, salad, rice for under $22. This is almost like a fast food dine in. Very disappointed! My soup was in a small plastic container. It was spicy yellow water. The guy was willing to replace if I drove back. Well, gas is not free. I was willing for him to instead come see and bring me real lentil soups. He instead credited me. That is ok, but honestly no Thanks. I am a mom who has done lentil soup, they can't fool me. If they continue. I will give 2 stars.

    Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Texas. All the Yelp reviews are spot on with this place. This restaurant is super clean and colorful inside, the staff is incredibly friendly and the food is completely off the charts. Not a single dish was monotone. You could really taste each individual spice and how they blended together in your mouth. The Gyros alone were probably the best I ever had, including the ones I had in NYC. Everything from start to finish (on multiple visits) was superb and I will constantly recommend this place.

I was in line to order to-go but the lady in front of me had the hardest time paying for her order. After several unsuccessful attempts, another lady came by to take my order so that she could put my order to the kitchen first while I waited to pay. I found that to be extremely considerate of the worker to think to do that. Food came out in about 15 minutes. I was so hungry I ended up deciding to eat in my car. A little disappointed that they didn't include any utensils (nor did they ask if needed any), but thankfully I had some extras in my car. I ordered a chicken kebab and they were nice enough to sub my rice for a salad without extra charge. Also ordered the borani bademjan because I'm a fan of all things eggplant. Everything was delicious. The chicken kebab was juicy, moist, and nicely seasoned. However, my favorite item was hands down the borani bademjan. It had large pieces of smoky grilled eggplants and I love the spiced tomato flavors. Yum! Highly recommend for all eggplant fanatics. The borani came with a piece of nan that was good as well. Overall a great find and will be back to try other items.

Unfortunately, the entire bowl was extremely salty, and the brown rice was very hard, which told me it was not fully cooked.

Because of that, I was not able to return the food, request a refund, or have them correct the issue.
