    Vegetarian platter, lentil briyani rice, tabbouleh, sstew chick peas and spinach
    Marissa M.

    I enjoyed my meal at Kabobi today. I'm thankful that they are in the food court for those who are following a special diet or Halal. With so many fried and overly processed foods in abundance, you can rely on Kabobi for a affordable wholesome meal. The reason many people choose unhealthy food, is because of the cheaper price, however, you will pay in poor health. I enjoyed the customer service from the manager. He discussed the vegetarian options with me. I decided on the chick peas, spinach and lentil Biriyani rice. Biriyani is a long grain rice that is very delicious with the lentils added. My daughter really enjoyed this on my plate and ate all of it. You must try it. I also tried the Tabbouleh and enjoyed that with my meal. Everything was cooked just right and I was very satisfied. Thank you Kabobi. I will try the falafel and lamb kabob next time.

    I'm not the big connoisseur of mall food and I usually steer away from it. However, I grabbed lunch at Kabobi last week and it was really good! I'm a bit of a fan of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food which, at times, is hard to come by in Raleigh. But that's changing thankfully. This place is set up like a lunch counter. I went with the Kabobi sampler. The meats were well seasoned. The steak bites were a little overdone but I imagine they cook it well because most people like it that way. It was fine. The vegetables and salad were fresh. And, the service was friendly. I'll definitely be back when I'm at the Crabtree Valley Mall.

    Really good collection of Kababs. Amazing taste and fast service. What more do you want? Halal.

    The hummus, stuffed grape leaves and baklava were good. However, the spicy chicken kabobi did not even taste like meat. It was really bad and was thrown away. The tzatziki sauce was very runny and tasted off. It was not a good deal for the money and left me very disappointed. I will not be going back.

    Beef kebab and sweet rice
    Jess M.

    Really good and fresh, especially for mall food court! The kebabs are also very juicy and flavorful. I had the beef kebab wrap---- veggies make it pop---- and the sweet rice (oddly good too!). My hubby got the 2 kebab special w the lentil rice (very tasty). This is a fantastic option for a food court. Very friendly staff w masks, gloves, and sanitizer.

    Lambs and chicken kabobs with a sweet rice, creamed spinach and cabbage.

    Delicious Mediterranean food. The lamb and chicken kabobs were amazing. My first time eating there and would like to visit again.

    Lamb shank
    Ashley L.

    Seriously so good! My husband and I are incredibly shocked that there's such good food at a mall food court. We got the lamb kabob for lunch and liked it so much that we went back for the lamb shank and curry chicken for dinner. For sides, we had the raisin rice, the chickpeas, and the cucumber salad and everything was delicious! Real food that is home cooked with no MSGs or other fake ingredients. The pricing is super reasonable and the owners are so sweet. Highly, highly recommend!!

    This is a Chicken Kabob Platter with Okra, Chickpeas & Green Beans, and some very strange bread.

    We found it interesting that the food court at Crabtree Valley Mall would have two such similar spots as Kabobi and Hector's. It gave us a chance to have a head to head eat off between the two - at least on several items - or 4, really. The Chicken Kabob was one item - and the kabob here is good, just not as good as Hector's. There was no nice grill exterior crust on the chicken, and there was a yellow tint to the meat, but no supporting flavor aspect - Turmeric? The Grape Leaves were also a strong tilt to Hector's. The ones here had a nice mint taste, but the texture was soft and mushy. The "bread" here was thin, hard, and tasteless - like hardtack - not really sure what it was, but I didn't care for it, and no way you could ever wrap it around anything. The Tzatziki was a closer contest, but though neither was stellar, Hector's was a little thicker, a little more flavorful. The sides here , Okra (steamed or braised) was not memorable, and the other, Chickpeas & Green Beans, was at best an interesting set of items, but no less bland for the uniqueness of the combination. Game. Set, Match - Hector's. .

    Stayed at the Marriott and walked over. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was for being a food court restaurant. Great food!

    Tasteful, filling, quick and the service is great. I always stop in here when I go to Crabtree. They have some of the best Lebanese food I've ever had! Get the chicken kabob with sweet rice and Greek salad.

    Sultani Kabab platter with koobideh and spicy chicken kabab
    Taohid L.

    I had the sultani kabab platter which includes, rice, onions, grilled tomato, koobideh and chicken or beef kabab. The koobideh was a delicious package of delicious minced lamb. I tried both spicy chicken (minced chicken Kabab) and chicken Kabab (succulent pieces of tender chicken) and I would the latter over the former. This is probably the best place for food in the Crabtree Valley Mall.

    Grabbed lunch from here recently and had a great time!…read more First, parking is easy because Afghan Kebab is part of a strip mall. Inside, it was relatively austere, but the seats were very comfy! You order and pay at the counter and then they deliver your food to your table - I'm a fan of this setup because I can leave quickly and not have to wait for the server to give me the check :) It took maybe ~15 minutes to get our food, but it was piping hot and fresh when it arrived. It was so tasty! My wife and I split the Goat Karahi, which came with "two naan bread" (those naan must be huge, because it seemed more like five naan bread to us!) in a separate basket. The goat was flavorful and the sauce was delicious. The naan were fluffy and tasted really good too. The staff were nice and helpful throughout the meal. This will definitely be one of our new lunch spots, and I'm excited to come back!

Let's just say it was a good surprise :-) Location is tucked away in a shopping center In a corner store front ... so if you dont look for it... you'll miss it .. So went inside and was greeted my a nice smiling gentleman behind the counter and place is very clean and simple. The gentleman behind the counter was very accommodating and helped with explaining the menu which is a small no frills menu which is a good thing .. Orders the mixed platter with an order of Naan.. Was told to have a seat and he would bring it out and to enjoy a complimentary cup of tea (green tea) ... i was disappointed it wasn't the traditional Rose tea that I am used to at other Afghani Kebob joints but it was ok ... The food came out pretty quick and looked simple and delicious.. The chicken was flavorful and moist .. just needed a lil bit more sumac and a pinch of salt .. The Naan is your basic Naan so nothing to share there.. Overall a good experience with no frills and thrills kebobs... Definitely will come back and try another dish ... Time to now find a place that serves beef Paya. Like I was used to from Kabob Palace back in Arlington VA :-)

The quality and portions are excellent--no skimpy skewers, no mystery meat. It genuinely reminds me of the Persian and Afghani kebab shops in Northern Virginia that know their way around a charcoal grill. Everything tastes clean, well-seasoned, and cooked with intention. A couple of small suggestions (because nothing is perfect): I'd love to see a wider variety of sauces for the kebabs, and personally, I'd prefer a larger piece of taftoon bread instead of the pita slices. That said--credit where it's due--the pita tastes fresh and not like it was pulled straight from a plastic bag, which already puts them ahead of most places. Bottom line: this is the best kebab spot I've found in the area, hands down. Highly recommend--and yes, I'll absolutely be back.

    After enjoying Baba Ghannouj Mediterranean Bistro in Cary last week, my girl & I decided to explore…read moreanother kebab/gyro restaurant in Cary, so we went to Kebab Skewer & dined in on a Saturday night. This is located close to Milklab, which I also reviewed here on Yelp. My girl ordered a gyro wrap, then the young adult cashier asked if we wanted to add fries & drink for additional $3+. She asked if she can swap the fries for another side: baba ghannouj, our favorite Mediterranean side dish, and the cashier said she can. The menu overhead is clear, so we didn't have trouble deciding what to order. I ordered the Kebab Platter - Double Skewer that comes with salad, rice, a tiny cup of tzatziki, a tiny cup of salad dressing, and pita bread. Platter costs $15.99 + additional $1.99 because I chose lamb kebab. We also ordered the 4-piece falafel & a lamb kofta skewer. Total cost was about $50+. As always, we tried each other's foods, split the falafel & lamb kofta. The lamb gyro wrap was delicious with fresh meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce. The few bites I had of the gyro were pure bliss; part of me wish I ordered a gyro wrap too, but I wanted us to have different orders. The baba ghannouj that came with her gyro was excellent unlike what we tried from Baba Ghannouj Mediterranean Bistro (BGM Bistro). The texture of the mashed eggplant and mix of spices were perfect, and the amount was good enough for the 2 of us to share. I also enjoyed my double skewer lamb kebab platter. The salad was fresh, the basmati rice wasn't as sopisticated as other spiced varieties but it went well with the lamb kebab, fresh from the grill. However, for an $18+ meal, wish it included another small side like baba ghannouj. BGM Bistro's platters let you choose 2 sides along with the rice and salad for about the same price, so you get more value there but the baba ghannouj tastes better here. Falafel is a good-tasting side, about the same quality as BGM Bistro's. It comes with tahini sauce. The lamb kofta skewer, which looks like a sausage, was well-spiced and went well with tzatziki. Our orders were served in less than 12 min, and we had to pick up our trays at the front when they were ready instead of bringing to our table. It looks like this is the kind of place that's better for take out than dine in as the ambiance isn't inviting. There was one area where the floor was left uncleaned and the dull illumination of the fluorescent lights inside doesn't make this restaurant ideal for a romantic date. We were somewhat satisfied with our dinner with the gyro and baba ghannouj being the highlights. Lamb kebab & lamb kofta tasted good but I don't think the whole platter is worth $18+. We might alternate BGM Bistro & this as each has their own pros & cons. Or we might explore another we haven't tried before.
