Grisel D.

Another incredible experience at Kaboji. The service is, as always, attentive and truly above and beyond, and the food never disappoints. Because we had a large group, we ordered two veggie mezzas for the table. They come with grape leaves, baba ghannouj, and hummus, which makes them perfect for sharing. And the unlimited pita bread is always a win. The salad, so refreshing. The Lebanese cheese rolls are also amazing. Some of us switched it up and tried the spicy fish, sautéed shrimp, and the mixed shawarma platter. No regrets. The fish was so flavorful and the perfect size. LollllpThe rest of us stuck to the kabobs and lamb, which are consistently a safe bet. The space is great too. The huge windows give you beautiful lighting, and they have seating for large parties that still feels more private. We'll definitely be back.

Tabouleh bread and grape leaves

I'm myself lebanese and wanted to go here because it felt authentic from the reviews and pictures. Honestly in person was underwhelming Pros: - prices are really good we ordered like 7-8 dishes for $118. They have a lunch menu with discounted price - one of the few restaurants that will pack the food to go for u and wont make you do it yourself and they will add more bread for u. The bread is truly out of this world - friendly staff and fast service, easy free parking - great if u want to experience a mezza (very traditional in lebanese restaurant where they serve many dishes for u to try, without breaking the bank) Recommended dishes: meat rolls, meat grape leaves, shankleesh Cons: If ur a true lebanese you will know nothing compares to the food your mom makes - kobob platter was dissapointing, full of rice and only one skewer - taboule was not fresh - tawouk sandwich barely had some chicken in it. For the price it was worth the try. The idea is original but food portions when it comes to meat can definitely be much better

We've been hitting up Mediterranean restaurants like nobody's business on this leg of our spring break, in part because of our proximity to many, and in part because my progeny and I are currently obsessed with babaganoush in its many variations. For this particular dinner, we were also focused on finding a truly vegetarian friendly restaurant where we could take our dear friends. Kabobji was a wonderful choice for vegetarians, omnivores, and carnivores alike. It's a large restaurant with plenty of booths and large tables for gathering with friends and family. Someone I suspect to be an owner was working hard alongside his wait staff and displayed a sense of genuine hospitality. Above all, the restaurant has a rock solid kitchen. The falafel ($13.99 / 5 pieces) here were ****STELLAR****!!! They're shaped like Indian medu vada (fried with a hole in the middle), probably for the same reason: to allow as much of the surface to fry to that perfect golden crisp as possible. And Kabobji's falafel were, in fact, awesomely crisp and well textured, made from soaked chickpeas in the traditional style, perfectly sized, nuanced and subtle in flavor -- some of the best we can remember having. (For reference, we love Nish Nush and Tanoreen for falafel in NYC -- and I think our neighborhood must be one of the major international epicenters for falafel.) Also excellent: the baba ghannouj ($10.99 for the small size), just a bit chunky, enriched with a lot of tahini, a moderate amount of garlic, a touch of lemon. This is how we like to make it at home. The vegetable ghallaba platter ($20.99) was simply made with thinly sliced onions and bell peppers, a small amount of zucchini, I think, and a touch of tomato. I would've loved to have had a spritz of lemon or sprinkle of sumac for a more acidic component, perhaps a little less onion. Note that this dish works better as a main course when accompanied by something protein-y like hummus, but it was pleasant to eat alongside our other orders. A convive, who went with the mixed shawarma platter ($27.99), found it to be a generous portion size and enjoyed it, especially with a side of well composed fattoush salad (+$5.99 to upgrade). Beef shish kebab ($14.99) and lamb shawarma ($15.99) wraps were both excellent and moist, a good balance of protein and vegetable. I didn't try them, but the "cheese pies" ($12.99) turned out to be pitas covered with a large amount of melty white cheese that some young children might enjoy as pizza. (Mine probably would've found them to be "too cheesy," but they're mutants.) They came three to an order. When you dine in, they bring a big basket of warm pita / pida to the table -- quite a generous touch!! I think it's house made and of course went beautifully with our food. Bottom line: GREAT FALAFEL! Great, low-key, family-friendly vibe. Good for vegetarians and non-vegs. Go.

My coworker's have been talking to me about this place forever. They said the food is delicious. That the flavors were on point and after trying this place out. I agree that the food there is very good. I had not tasted anything like it before. I was very happy with what I ate. I came with friends. They ordered for me. The appetizer platter was good. It came with a green dish. I think it was chopped parsley. Idk what it was but it was good and fresh. The kabob I had was perfect. The flavors were great. It came with a side. I got French fries. They were soggie. I should have gotten a different side. I did like my kabob. Desserts was good. They had different types of baklava. I got the one with pistachios. I loved it. The staff was helpful. Its a casual spot. The restaurant feels like it has been here for a long time. The inside no big deal but the food is.

I recently visited this restaurant. They are inspired by the middle eastern cuisine. I noticed the menu is very extensive and the pita bread is freshly made. I really liked the hummus and the Pita. It was very tasty. As for the main dish I ordered a chicken shawarma. The chicken was very rich in flavor, the veggies were also fresh. I ordered a mint lemonade and my drink was the highlight of the brunch, so refreshing, the perfect balance. Service was phenomenal, all the dishes arrived fast. Plenty parking available inside the plaza. Highly recommended to try. Bring your appetite, family and friends!

Stopped by Kabobji on a Monday night--plenty of open tables, no wait. Service was quick and on point, which is always a plus. Started with the falafel, and they were solid. Not dry inside, held their shape well, and weren't overly fried, a solid 4/5. For the main dish, I went with the Kabobji Combo, which comes with three grilled skewers--Tawook, beef kabob, and kafta--served with rice. Everything was cooked just right--juicy, flavorful, and not overdone. The kafta, in particular, stood out. I'd give the dish a solid 4.5/5. If you're into Middle Eastern food, this place is definitely worth checking out. Good portions, great flavors, and no frills. Would come back for another round, maybe to try some hummus or shawarma next time.

I associate Kabobjo with happiness. This is one of my favorite restaurants probably in the entire world. The people who work here are always so kind and welcoming, accommodating to whatever silly request I might have that day. The inside feels like you are more private dining room than inside a restaurant with the big walled booths giving you extra privacy and a chance to get close to those you love. The food. Simply put is spectacular. Never have I ever come out of a meal at Kabobji feeling disappointed. And their generous free pita bread with zaa'tar is always warm and puts a smile on my face. Kabobji is a special place, these kinds of restaurants that aim to not just serve but delight, are hard to come by. This is always one of my top recommendations. If you haven't tried it yet it's 1000% worth the trip.

Kabobji is a Lebanese restaurant located in a strip mall on North Miami Beach. The restaurant is big and with nice looking feel. It also has a bread oven so you know you are getting freshly baked pita bread. We ordered the veggie mezza, grapes leaves, Malfouf, and fried kibbeh. First, the fresh pita comes with a lovely Za'atar and olive oil dip. Delicious! It's a fresh warm pita! And dip it's to die for! So freaking good! The veggie mezza comes with Tabouleh salad, hummus, grape leaves, and falafel, and instead of baba ganoush with ordered more hummus. Everything on the dish was outstanding! The hummus is so creamy and tasty! The falafel was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The grape leaves were warm and soft! You could tell they were fresh! The Malfouf and the fried kibbeh were also super good! Overall, delicious meal! Oh the service was on point too!

Greek salad with grilled chicken
Bryan T.

In town for a little R and R and visiting family we found Kabobji thru YELP.. The restaurant is in a well lit and popular shopping mall and offers casual dining with outdoor seating if available when you arrive We arrived at 6pm and were seated promptly and began to dine at our leisure. We started with the veggie mezza which comes with grape leaves , hummus, baba ghannouj, falafel, tabbouleh and fresh hot pita. The 3 of us marveled in the grape leaves/baba ghannouj/tabbouleh being some of the best we"ve had . 5 STAR Our daughter had the sautéed shrimp , 8 large shrimp with a creamy mushroom sauce and almond slivered white rice. Shrimp dish was served nice and hot , shrimp themselves were cooked perfectly 4 STAR We also ordered a side of Batata Harra (spicy potatoes) I liked these small cubed potatoes which were tossed with plenty of cayenne pepper but agree they definitely aren't your traditional Greek style potatoes which I think is what we expected - 4 STAR Last two items were two small salads , a Greek salad with grilled chicken and a small Fattoush salad with chicken Sharma. The salads were just average overall, veg selection was not too unusual and limited lettuce. Also a disappointment the chicken was dry and overcooked Overall the restaurant is relaxed and what they did do well was done really well - that said we will visit again when in town

Sergio F.

As a lover of spicy food, Kabobji in North Miami is definitely the place to go! Even without the extra hot sauce I requested, the lemon oregano chicken was fire! The generously portioned chicken, on a bed of basmati rice with almonds was well seasoned and perfect. I'll try a different dessert when I go again - with reservations and maybe not close to closing time. The baklava was a little more nutty and not as sweet as I have had at other Middle Eastern restaurants (one of them seems to serve theirs with a touch of honey). My side dishes included a hearty yellow lentil soup, warm fluffy pita bread as well as side of hummus with fresh garbanzo taste and a hint of tarragon. I noticed they have a decent cocktail menu with some pomegranate drinks I'd come back and try. Here's hoping to upgrading 5 stars soon!

Reviews are largely positive. Diners love the fresh house-made pita, authentic Middle Eastern food, and friendly, attentive staff, with a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere.

A manager should lead by example, support their team, and treat every employee with dignity and respect. Unfortunately, Risa's treatment of employees has created serious concerns. Her behavior toward staff is belittling, disrespectful, and makes the workplace uncomfortable for the people who are simply trying to do their jobs. Yelling at employees in front of customers is completely unacceptable. No one should have to endure public humiliation or be made to feel less than human while at work. Being a manager does not give anyone the right to disrespect, bully, or mistreat employees. The way management treats its staff directly affects the workplace environment. When employees feel constantly disrespected or mentally mistreated, it can lead to frustration, low morale, and people choosing to leave. The number of employees reportedly leaving because of these experiences should be a serious concern for Just Salad. Just Salad's corporate leadership needs to take these complaints seriously and consider finding different leadership for this location. Employees deserve a manager who knows how to communicate respectfully, lead fairly, and create a positive work environment. As customers, we should not support behavior that treats hardworking people as though they are disposable. Anyone who supports or excuses this kind of treatment should seriously reconsider supporting this location. No business should prioritize a manager's authority over the dignity and well-being of its employees. Just Salad needs to do better. Employees deserve respect, accountability, and leadership that understands how to treat people like human beings.

It's the type of restaurant every town in Israel had before pizza and sushi became the rage. It's a type of restaurant that has all but disappeared in Israel.

As a salad lover, I especially like the salad samplers that are served while you wait for your entree.

Now, if you've been to Israel, you'll know that people are pretty rude. Kind of nasty they yell at each other we all know and accept it.

They have all the great Middle Eastern foods that you'll find in Israel . The hummus, the baba ghanoush, the falafel, the amazing is really salad with all the fresh herbs and the delicious fresh ingredients. Five of us spent about $22 each and had the best time despite our waitress and the leaky ceiling and the pretty dingy decor , but that's why we come here. Oh, and the tip is included in the price, which is probably why your waitress doesn't give a damn if you like her or not. We will be returning here for that Lemonanna and overlook Loli or whatever her name was.

The menu is a melange of Russian, Turkish, Uzbek, and generically Mediterranean offerings. To start, we had the Mediterranean-leaning "combo platter" with baba ghanoush, hummus, and tzatziki ($16) and the Russian-leaning herring with potatoes ($15; "tomato, cucumber, carrot, mushroom, cabbage, kimchi"). These were so-so. The baba ghanoush and hummus were both extremely smooth, almost whipped in consistency, almost unpleasantly salty. (We love salt and don't shy away from it at all -- but this was excessive.) I personally love a few chunks of eggplant in my baba ghanoush (like a beautiful Jordanian version I had earlier in the day from a stand in Aventura Mall) and a lot more tahini in my hummus, but of course these are stylistic differences / preferences. Tzatziki was very garlicky. The combo came with sliced cucumbers and a bit of pita -- but not anywhere near enough for our family. We did end up eating the surfeit of spreads with our main courses, so all ended well. Herring with potatoes was nothing like the menu description. Instead, it came with, yes, just pickled herring and roasted potatoes (and a huge, huge mound of thinly sliced raw onion, a few sprigs of parsley, a sprinkle of dill, a sliver of lemon). The baby potatoes were nicely roasted, but the pickled herring was quite mediocre, a touch mushy, and almost certainly not prepared in-house. The only distinctively Uzbek dish we tried was the Fried Lagman ($19; "stir-fried hand-pulled noodles in a mix of beef and vegetables, served with eggs"). I can't speak to its authenticity, but it was made with well-textured noodles topped by tender, well seasoned beef, bell peppers, grape tomatoes, and very thinly slivered omelette. The progeny who ordered it enjoyed it very much. Beef shawarma ($19; "cooked on a vertical grill, served in pita bread with tomato, cucumber, lettuce, yogurt sauce, and spices, with French fries on the side") was beautifully presented, a generous portion of thickly-sliced meat wrapped in a very thin layer of flatbread (lavash and not pita?) with a crisscross grill pattern. The Beef Kebab ($24; served with french fries and tomato sauce) was moist and tender, well seasoned. I think the slightly bland tomato sauce was meant for dipping, but the beef didn't need any accoutrements. Fries were fair, either undersalted or not salted at all. I wish we'd held on to the ketchup that had been served with the fries that came with the shawarma. The grilled branzino ($38) was nicely prepared, a medium-sized (about 1 lb) fish beautifully grilled and drizzled with reduced balsamic, served with salad, rice and a side of lemon. The skin was crisp, the fish fresh. Note that food is brought out as it's prepared and some mains may come more quickly than others. We didn't have a huge problem with this as our manners free family is under orders to eat food when it arrives, while it's hot, rather than to wait until everyone's food arrives. Also, we generously poach from one another's plates, and the last one to get her food hadn't been all that hungry for dinner to begin with. The eat-it-as-it-arrives policy turned out to be a good one since the lag time between arrival of the first main and arrival of the last was about 40 minutes. The first few to receive their meals would've had to eat their food stone cold. Sim Sim doesn't serve alcohol, but does have a beautiful tea service and hookah, and allows diners to BYOB without corkage. (All the Russian diners around us seem to have gone the BYOB route and ordered a hookah, which we also didn't see advertised in house.) It's in a strip mall as most restaurants are in this part of Florida, but has pleasant-enough outdoor and indoor seating areas. The outdoor seating is beach style. Think: white plastic chairs and tables. There was a single low wooden Uzbek style dining table on a platform outdoors and perhaps one indoors as well, IIRC. Our wait staff was very pleasant. One server gently pushed salad and Uzbek bread on us, which we declined, but sort of wish we hadn't after watching nearby diners who were probably of Uzbek descent. We're dining with vegetarians on our remaining days in the area, who wouldn't have enough protein options here, but do wish we had time for a return visit. Bookmarked for our next trip.
