    Initial Order.

    I Ordered Through Grubhub And If I Could Give Zero Stars I Would. First Things First Basically My Whole Meal Was Missing. It's Supposed To Come In A Platter However, They Packaged My Rice As A Side... Packaged My Chickpeas As A Side (There's Two Containers As I Got Double Chickpeas. One Was Not Even Halfway Full As Shown In The Pictures). Even My Receipt That's Supposed To Be Generated From Grub Hub Was Not There. They Just Wrote On a Blank Receipt Paper And Stuck It To My Bag. My Samosa? Not There And My House Salad? Nonexistent. I Specifically Asked For Them To Make Sure The Salad Is Included Because When I've Ordered Previously They Only Included The House Salad Once. The Next Time I Ordered I Didn't Receive A Salad (It Comes With The Meal) So I Asked Nicely As You Can See.. However, They Just Threw Whatever They Wanted In The Bag And Called It Complete. I Would Not Recommend Ordering Online.

    While visiting Philadelphia, we tried this place and ordered the family special for four. It included ground beef, chicken, lamb chop, beef kabob, and lamb kabob, along with a side of salad and four naan. The meats were cooked beautifully, and the seasoning was spot on. The place could use a little TLC, but I was informed that the current location is closing and they are moving, which explains some of my concerns.

    Food - 4 stars Service - 3 stars Price point - 2.5 - 3 stars We have been going to Kabobeesh for about 15 years. It's been an on and off, but we always liked their food. The space there is always very basic, no frills, but you order, get your food, and eat. When we recently went the lady behind the counter was "nice enough, but seemed like she had chip on her shoulder. She was also arguing with a man who seemed like a manager. She was also on the phone complaining about this man. As a customer I heard and saw all this. Food was good, but the prices keep on going up (like many places), but they still serve the food with cheap styrofoam plates and flimsy plastics utensils. When you charge the price they do I really want something more substantial than styrofoam and flimsy plastics‍

    Chicken curry, chicken tikka masala, nan

    Food is meh, nothing extra. Worst service. I saw the reviews before going but I ignored it because I wanted to try it myself. And service industry can be a hit and miss. Sometimes its a good day and bad day. But after my visit now I know why other people were so upset. They do not care about their customers at all. Its a family owned restaurant where only the owner and their family members are having a good time laughing and chatting while customers are waiting for basic service like being greeted and asked where to seat and give plate to eat food on. They served our food on a broken tray. They do not look prepared to serve any customer. Curry all spilled. My husband's food had a white plastic /hair looking thing in his food but we did not bother to tell them because they do not act like they would care. ambiance is not bad. The young manager ( without glasses) who stays on the counter was okay. He atleast tried to be nice to customers. Everyone else is a big joke. How do they plan to run a business when they treat their customers like this. If you plan to have a good time eating food do not go here. You will be nothing but dissapointed like me. I regret taking my family there. Never going back. Wish there was option to give no star at all.

    My husband loves this place for some reason but I have never been a fan. Got the Haleem with a side of chickpeas, cauliflower and chicken biryani. The Haleem was flavorful but everything else was mediocre. Service is quick and they are quite generous with portions. But I don't think I'll be going back unless we are trying the Chicken Karahi, which looks wonderful in photos.

    To 'beesh or not to 'beesh--that is the question. For three years, I have had the great pleasure of enjoying an authentic taste of the Indian Subcontinent at Kabobeesh. Nestled just outside of the UPenn campus, Kabobeesh offers a secluded oasis for students to escape from the stresses of undergraduate life and enjoy a wonderful meal with friends, family, or whoever is so lucky as to experience Kabobeesh. Ricardo is an expert at his craft and perfectly seasons all meats to deliver an unparalleled culinary experience. You will not regret making the journey to Kabobeesh. The answer to the aforementioned question is therefore without a doubt--YES!

    Excellent food and service ! They accommodated party of 24 !! The food was excellent , the staff was really friendly and they made sure we were well taken care off. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Phily .

    What the F is this????

    So let me start by saying I really should've gave this place 1 star but I've been eating here for year every since they had a location on south street. My my my!!!! How they have fell from grace!! I stopped eating there for a few years but said hey let me give them another try maybe they got their ish in order and possibly start making quality food again. Nope!! I will never eat at this place ever again. Apparently all they care about is making money and not serving good food. The Kabob meal is subpar at best and this time I ordered a chicken nugget meal for my kid and what a F'k'n mistake that was! I didn't even let her eat it I threw it out and ordered a different meal for her from somewhere else. Never again I won't even buy a bottle water from yall ever!

    Take out Naan.  My son likes it so much.

    I came by myself first time in Kabobeesh. Tried its lamb curry meal with two sides of veggies, lentils and chickpeas, rice and a naan. $15 for this platter. I do like the curry lamb (a lot of meat). I had also ordered lamb chops meal and lamb kabob meal to go for my family. They like it. I think the lamb chops were little bit burnt but taste good as well as lamb kabobs. Mango lassi was great! Go back there soon for more!

    FANTASTIC experience -- just go!…read more The Lamb Fahsah was hearty and flavorful, served in a hot metal bowl with just the right proportions of shredded meat, veggies, and broth. Plus it came with FRESH pita bread HOT out of the oven -- slightly crisp outside, hot gooey inside. (Honestly, I think their pita texture and flavor surpassed a certain high-end Lebanese restaurant in Fishtown...) Decor is a tasteful modern pastiche of traditional middle eastern motifs. Overall vibe is relaxed, clean, and spacious. The only downside was having to pick just one thing from the menu, though staff were happy to help. One note: I think they're still getting off the ground, and I stood next to the "wait to be seated" sign for 5 minutes before getting frustrated and walking up to the bar guy. He was SUPER apologetic, as was my waiter, and they made it up to me with a free cup of chai tea -- plus a free refill at the end! On the chai tea: rich and fragrant spices, definitely spoiled me for the standard coffee shop version.

    My recent first visit to Malooga was excellent. The service was admittedly unremarkable, but some…read moregrace should probably be extended there - it was a Sunday, the day after Valentine's Day, and it was packed. During my wife's and my time there, they never had an empty table that wasn't being quickly cleared for a waiting party, and we heard people assigned considerable waits when they tried to walk in. I give the benefit of the doubt that the hectic, holiday-adjacent nature of the day we went in contributed to us not receiving mugs for the tea pot we ordered or some of the longer waits between waitstaff visits. But the food and atmosphere? Through the roof. We were fortunate enough to have scored the coveted front window seating section, a luxuriously spacious and cushioned special seating option that only one party at a time can enjoy (all other seats are traditional chair-and-table arrangements), so we were especially high on the subject of atmosphere, but even had we not secured the ideal seating, I would have enjoyed the chill, evocative music coming from the restaurant's speakers. The food was the main event, of course, and it delivered. We started simple, with a hummus app. The humus was great and the flatbread really stood out - ideal density, great, light crispness to the outside, soft but at no risk of being too chewy or doughy on the inside. I ordered the salmon dish, which arrived in a big, black sizzling iron bowl. The salmon and tender little potato chunks were in a shakshuka-like red sauce and paired excellently with the plate of rice, fresh raisins, garlic slivers, and carrot bits that accompanied it. I honestly don't love raisins, but this was clearly a "have faith in the recipe" situation and I really enjoyed when they would assert themselves a bit against the sauce. My wife ordered a falafel salad platter, which she was kind enough to let me try; best falafel I've eaten in a good number of years, and she agreed (which means even more than my endorsement, since she falafel much more frequently than I do). I've eagerly recommended Malooga to friends and associates since and can't wait to get back and order some lamb!

    Marrakesh is one of my absolute favorite places to eat in Philadelphia!!…read more I wish it existed in more cities. This is a multicourse journey through Marrakesh that cannot be repeated anywhere else except for maybe in the real Marrakesh. From the Bastilla pastry, which is DIVINE, to the salads, the chicken and kebabs... all the way to the baklava and tea.... there is no bad bite at Marrakesh. The owners are welcoming and super amenable and make you feel like you're coming home every single time you visit. It's in a odd location, and you may feel like you are making a questionable life decision as you walk up the alley to the door, but when you arrive, you realize that in fact, it was one of the best decisions you've made in years!! When you enter, it's like you've been transported to a beautiful room in Morocco. The music, the decor, even the authentic seating make for an unforgettable experience. And if you get really lucky, you also get to see the belly dancers who are top notch! There is not a single thing I can think of to say that Marrakesh needs to improve. It is a one of a kind experience that I feel everyone should have at least once in life!

Since I hadn't been for so long, I ate everything as was prepared - but I'm happy to hear it sounds like they have veg options on their tasting menu. I'm looking forward to trying that my next return. But I couldn't say no to their chicken after almost a decade I highly recommend checking out this business for a delicious family style cooked meal.
