This place is seriously a hidden gem in Porterville. I don't get excited when my husband asks to go eat Mediterranean even though I know it's a nutritious option. My husband had been raving about this place and asked for us to go together so i was open to trying it. The two siblings working greeted us and were so welcoming. They offered us lentil soup with our meal which I'm not one to get excited over lentil soup but I would come in here for just that because of how delicious it is. We were told they make it every day and it is seriously so flavorful and yummy. Our plates were equally delicious and full as you can see by the attached photo. I will definitely be back. It was so refreshing to have a nice meal with such excellent service. I definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try. read more

Great for a quick and cheap meal while in town visiting the national parks. Huge portion sizes - we took it all to go and had a ton of leftovers. read more

Prices have gone up and portion sizes have shrunk a ton. I don't recommend this place anymore. Apparently the original owners sold the business to new owners? read more

My second visit here and I always enjoy my meal. Made to order, so it takes a bit but it's fresh. Everything is always well seasoned, flavorful and cooked to perfection. My only complaint (and this is my personal preference) was the lamb kabob was well done which just made it a bit dry. I prefer medium rare to keep it moist. It's not shown on this review but I also recommend the chicken kabob, chicken shawarma and beef kabob. Also the phone number listed is incorrect, their number is (559) 854-7558 read more

Oh my goodness. They haven't cleaned the bathroom in a year or ever? I just opened the door, looked, almost passed out and ran away to the Starbucks next door. How is it possible to have such nasty bathroom in a restaurant? read more

Excellent hole in-the-wall spot. Came to Porterville because our son was performing for his high school band and did not want the usual fast food options. Wow this place has some of the most delicious hummus we have ever eaten! And their garlic sauce, tasted like a whole garlic was used for flavoring. Excellent, first-class ingredients and everything was made fresh. Totally worth the stop and patronize a local business like this, please stop by and give them a chance. The food preparation takes a while, as others have said, but worth your patience, I promise. read more

Really goood , great flavor ,rice really good also I recommend . I will be coming here more often !

Terrible .... food and service .... very unfriendly and it's filthy here , not sure how they pass health inspection and the garlic sauce is a mayonnaise milk mixture with garlic thrown in ? Not legit and pretty gross read more

Not good at all ordered shawarma fries and it was made of shredded old chicken skin and was super dry. The potatoes tasted old and were about 22 dollars each order of fries. The service was difficult bad communication skills as both guys appeared frustrated trying to understand what shawarma fries were until the older man got a hint and stated they did serve them but def wish they said no I would of left. The place is not clean and the floors are sticky never again. read more

Came to the city to grab some take out and this is by far the best Mediterranean food I've had. My partner and I are from San Diego so we have tried a good amount of Mediterranean food but we were very pleased with this place and the food quality. read more

Best mediterranean food I have had in recent memory. Food is authentic and above all - delicious. Regularly have the chicken shawarma plate, cannot recommend this place enough if you are looking for a balanced meal. A perfect example of a hidden gem - this restaurant is worth a try. read more

This is absolutely some of the best middle eastern food I have ever had. Hands down. I am from the bay area and our car broke down in Porterville, so I did not know what to expect. The food was soooooo flavorful. You could taste the care and love that this kind man put into each dish. We had the combo plate with beef and chicken shawarma. Tatziki plate with pita, and three sweet desserts. The hummus with olive oil was amazing. The tatziki was incredible and had spices that were so well balanced and deep. There was a sweet girl who seemed very new but very sweet. The man who prepared our food put such love and care into all of it. It felt like we were eating in someone's home. On a separate note... many small businesses are really hurting in today's economy. One unnecessary, negative review can hurt a family trying to make a living. Please write reviews with this in mind. But seriously.... For those who know real middle eastern cuisine... You're going to love it. This place was phenomenal. read more

Very good. I ordered the kofta kebab to-go. There are several tables inside, but it's more of a takeout restaurant. Forgot to take a photo, but portion sizes were good. I did have a little problem with the rice, which had a spice that was either too hot, or had too much of the spice. The meal came with kofta, rice, grilled vegetables, hummus, pita bread, and salad of chopped lettuce and (I think) tzatziki. Kofta is a ground or minced meat, sometimes a combination of meats, and this was sausage shaped. This plate will be enough for 2 meals for me. Hungry people could probably eat the whole thing. I also ordered baklava for dessert. Can't wait to try it! The chicken and kofta meals are $17.99, but you can get a sandwich for $12.99 or $13.99. read more

I just ordered from here (new ownership) for the first time. Everything was excellent! The Jordanian burger, stuffed cabbage, humus with jalapeño and chicken schwarma were delicious!! The tzatziki is great too. Hidden little gem - we will be back! read more

great food, tastes fresh and was made in front of us. very nice customer service, very polite read more

I didn't add a picture because there is over a hundred already.This is the only Mediterranean place I could find in Porterville but it was very good. Had the chicken shawarma sandwich....delicious!, Greek salad is great, I'm not much on rice so didn't try that. Taziki and hummus were good not great. Food is a bit pricey but found it to be well worth it, big portions. Going to be my go to in Porterville for Greek food considering the options lol read more

Stopped by on a road trip to Sequoia National Park and was not disappointed! Food was authentic, healthy and delicious! What more could you ask for? Too bad I live far away. The Lamb and Kofta plates were delicious! read more

Food is amazing!! First time trying it and will return soon! Tried the Beef Shawarma Sandwich! read more

Good mediterranean food. In Porterville, at that. Bit of a weird experience for me, as someone who eats outside the box often. I rarely go to a restraunt that charges for staple items. @ KabobLand, You're paying for tzatziki, and garlic sauce. $7 a pop, too. Thats like going to KFC and paying extra for hot sauce. But it was a craving so I coughed it up. Ended paying for $52 to satisfy the craving. I got the kafta kebab plate(they dont do substitutions lol), 8oz of tzatziki, 8oz of garlic sauce, 8oz of hummus, 3 extra sides of pita. Portion sizes were underwhelming, but motivating because I'll just try to make it at home now. read more

Great customer service! Food was on time, our proteins both : the chicken and meat were over cooked and not to tasty. Portions are abundant, but needs improvement on the flavor side! read more

Chicken Kabob plate and falafel plate was tasty.. Rice that came with chicken Kabob was outstanding. Biggest disappointment was not getting our order of konafe, which the owner recommended and said they made it fresh. The additional box we got had salad in it instead of the dessert.. So disappointed.. This place is worth trying but do double check your order. read more

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. There's no way people come in and see the kitchen so dirty and think "let's eat here" How are they even in business. It's probably a front or something because there must be so many health code violations. Food is old and probably expired and prices are crazy. Please save your money and eat somewhere else. read more

Would love to tell you how the food tasted but after waiting 15 minutes and my food still hadn't been even started I left. This is not how you run a restaurant at lunch. I ordered a sandwich but the cooks only want to do one plate at a time. Again this is not how you run a restaurant. I will not be back and hope they make it with this level of customer service. read more

The food was delicious. We had the number 9, 11, 19. All the dishes we had are great. Portion size is enormous two people can eat off of one plate. We will definitely want back to try the other dishes! read more

This is a long overdue spot in Porterville. Previous Mediterranean fast food restaurants have bombed, and left town. Generally, my approach has been to never get the solid meat kabobs because most restaurants over cook them and if the meat cuts are not done well, they come out like rubber. My favorite has always been the kofta or koobideh kabob where the kabob is made of minced meat, mixed with onions and spices. Here too one can fail if you overcook the kabob. And that is exactly what happened to my kofta kabob plate. The kabob was so dry that it was hard to cut up into small pieces. Furthermore, it was bland and lacked the flavor and texture of a good moist perfectly done kabob. Falafel was good, even though it was slightly dry. It had flavor, taste, good aroma and the outside was nice and crisp (a requirement for falafel). Hummus and dolmades were average. I will be going back for sure, because I think this restaurant has lots of promise. Excellent customer service. read more

I have been waiting for this place to open since they've had their sign up! I ordered 2 chicken kabob plates which me and my GF enjoyed. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor along with the rice. The veggie/spicy salad they include was also pretty good. I just found it odd that their hummus and pita was sub-par. Hummus tasted sour with not much flavor and the pita was like cardboard. Still happy to see a different cuisine in Porterville though. read more

In a culinary desert we were not expecting to find anything good. Not only was is it good, but some of the best we've ever eaten. The chicken shawarma sandwich was divine. Next time we pass through Porterville we will definitely be coming back. read more

This place is excellent! We had the beef shawarma sandwich and the Mixed Kabob plate. Food was very flavorful! Its a must try! Even better than the same types of restaurants in Visalia and Hanford hands down! read more

Great food, cooks make great lamb kebab. I'm not from the area but greatly enjoyed the food and am sad this place is not in my home town. Service was very nice and quick, these men have passion for their work and create a nice authentic ambiance for their restaurant! read more

The food is delicious. The chicken kabob is my favorite. The humus is the best I have ever eaten . The prices are high , but the food is delicious and the portions are a good amount. I like the way the owner and cashier treat you like you are VIP. I will go back once a week if not more . read more

Delicious. Bf wanted to try something new, although I was hesitant, I decided to go with it. The prices startled me but just the smell of it convinced me. Sure enough the taste reassured me of that. We order chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, and jalapeño humus. Portions are big, chicken isn't dry and very well seasoned. Humus isn't something I eat often but when I do I compare it to a humus I had in 2011 and this definitely hit the spot. Toddler approved as well. read more

I left an awesome review before because Cheyenne worked there and prepared my food perfectly! She has since been let go and I went for a salad and just got lettuce and chicken. Nothing what I paid for and none of the other veggies like in the photo on the wall. I called and got hung up on. Now I have to find another favorite place to eat. Porterville doesn't have much in the way of different foods. I'm so sad! This place had so much potential but when you let great employees go you business will only go down hill from there. read more
