    Greek Salad, Boneless Chicken Kabob a la Carte
    Bryant F.

    I'd driven past many times and this is my first visit. What took me so long? This is a beautiful restaurant, so much wood and metal with the design. I'd expected it to be a little more busy, but maybe I'd just missed the lunch rush. I ordered a Greek salad and added chicken kabob. Although it took a little longer than anticipated, just wow -- such a generous portion! And the meat was pretty much fork tender. A small touch that made me smile: when the lady at the counter was clearing a table, she made a point to stop by and ask if everything was okay. As the only person up front she kept busy and engaged. This is also an exceptionally clean restaurant. Definitely want to return sometime soon.

    Food was hot and delicious. Comes with yogurt sauce, but you'll have to ask for the garlic sauce if you want it. Plenty of parking in front. They take credit cards. There is also a fountain machine to get your own drinks.

    Juicy huge Chicken Doner Plate

    Convenient spot for lunch when in the area with covered parking. Order at a quick walk up counter and choose a table inside (mostly 2 seater fast food type tables), or choose a wired table with an umbrella outside. They brought our food to us and helped clear our table when we were done. If you haven't checked out the plates, they're substantial servings and was pleasantly surprised with the salad size. - Chicken Donar Kabob is the most popular. Generous amount of juicy chicken but thought it could be slightly more tender - Beef Donar Kabob was also recommended

    3.5 it's a great quick spot. Food was pretty good but nothing over the top or something I'd be recommending to friends to try out.

    Combination Kabob #3 with no rice all salad

    Tucked away in Carmel valley. Kabob lounge has a great variety of dishes with fresh ingredients. I've been coming here over the years and I've always had a great experience with their food and their staff.

    Chicken n gyro salad
    Jerry H.

    We went here for dinner last night and got a large house salad. I added a chicken kabob and gyro meat on top. It was gigantic. The chicken kabob was cooked on a metal kabob for even cooking throughout the chicken breast. It was the best, most tasty, most juicy large chicken breast kabob I have ever tried. It was large and savory. Luna Grill and Daphnis do not compare at all. Great job! The gyros were ok and they gave a great potion. I would have preferred more charred pieces of gyro meat. Also they did not offer any sauces like a garlic or yogurt sauce for the meat or pita. Service was mediocre at best and they never checked up on how things were. Some employees were on their cell phone as they worked and cleaned the floors. It was kind of weird since I was the only one there. After 7:35 pm I felt unwelcome and rushed to get out of their store. They wanted to clean and close up. Overall, great chicken kabob and awesome portions here. It could use side sauces for dipping. Service today was mediocre but I'm hopeful it's just a one off experience. If service continues to be mediocre again when I return star ratings will go down. I'll head next door for dinner for award winning sushi.

    Their Persian pizza was delicious but what was amazing was their baklava. The baklava was filled with walnut filling and gave baklava-fooman koloocheh fusion vibes! Sooo good!

    Excellent casual kabob spot in upscale shopping center and neighborhood! Will be back

    Best hummus ever
    Karen R.

    Amazing food here everytime. We have ordered almost everything here and can say fully the food here is so flavorful and yummy. I especially love the gyro salad and the koobideh plate with rice and salad. Hummus appetizer is absolutely amazing along with their dolmadas. Please come here!

    I thought it is a restaurant when I place pick up order on Uber Eat. However, it is kinda like fast food spot. Kabob was ok but not great. And inform falafel was disappointed.

    Happened upon this place after Yelp-searching for food in the area. Kabob Lounge was just around the corner. Clean and open dining area and patio next door to some Sushi bubbles. Service was somewhat prompt during this lunch-hour order frenzy. Probably the best chicken kabob ever of breast meat (may have been tenderloin). Not dry at all. Very juicy and flavorful. If we lived closer, we would frequent rather often. Good food. Got super busy before we were finished. Dicks

The menu was a bit confusing, but I know that I like grilled veggies and Greek salad and then Ike was able to pick my protein that I wanted so that seemed easy enough. The base price with falafel or chicken Shawarma was Close to $16 but since I chose the meat, they added two dollars to my total. It took about 10 minutes for them to assemble my meal, but my veggies were cooked fresh on the stove, which was really nice. They tasted very freshly cooked just as they would as if I had cooked them myself at home. I was there about 1245 on a Monday and there were a few people there and they had some takeout orders so my order took about 10 minutes before I could walk out the door with it. They had a nice condiment bar where you could pick out some yogurt with dill sauce and then they're famous garlic yogurt sauce, as well as a jalapeño sauce And another spicy hot one that I would never try. When I got back to the jury room to eat my meal, I saw that there was a nice quantity of the fresh salad and the grilled vegetables but the meat was piled high! The employees were working efficiently and the place was spotless and orderly.

I thought maybe I'll get it without the pickles next time. However, after eating I got an unexpected headache that usually comes from ingestion of MSG.

We came here for a late lunch, so we were lucky that there was a parking spot opened up right in the plaza. I can not imagine how difficult parking would be during the busy time!

You can see in the decorations that they have earned many recognitions and had even been on Guy's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives show! What an amazing place! We started the lunch with a nice mint lemonade! OMG! I highly recommend this! I would go back just for this, so refreshing and perfect way to be primed for a great meal. We had three items, Soujouk Flat Bread, Baba Ghannouj, and Ouzi Lamb. The portion is large! We could not finish and had to take to-go for two of us. I love their baba ghannouj! Very authentic and come with the bread. The serve was smiling when I asked whether it came with the bread. He eventually also told us that we should open the bread like a pita and put baba ghannouj in there. I appreciate the guidance on how to enjoy the food. I also loved soujouk flat bread. So delicious!
