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.
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!
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
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!
We love this place. Lemon oregano chicken, m'jaddra, hummus. Kibbeh. Everything is fantastic. And the rice. THE RICE! service is always wonderful, feels like family. Place is beautiful. Did I mention the pita, homemade and hot. Incredible. read more
That fresh pita bread!! Hot and warm ... YUM! Yes, it all begins with the bread. Everything else is just as delicious. Late hours is a plus.. not many places open past 9 around these neck of the woods. Service is friendly and ambiance is casual but cozy. Authentic with bold flavors. Worth every penny, can't wait to be back!! read more

Wanted to grab a quick bite to eat so stopped over at kabobji, located on a busy street with multiple options in the plaza. There was plenty of parking. Seating available in and outside. Inside they have an open oven where someone will be making fresh bread. The inside is fairly large with booths and table/chair. Only two washrooms. The menu was had a variety of different options. For starters, they bring over fresh bread with olive oil zaatar. The bread was warm and fresh and olive oil was rich. It was a great way to start the meal. We tried the chicken sandwich, beef platter, ground beef & cheese rolls. The sandwich wasn't dry which is plus. The beef was tender and rolls came out piping hot.. We were all satisfied with our meals. Service was decent, food arrived in a timely manner. read more

I didn't find this place to be very authentic. If you have ever been to the real kabobji overseas... This won't taste as good. It wasn't terrible but it could be better. The restaurant itself is nice and a good size. Service was great though. read more

Heavenly, fluffy, warm Fresh pita deliciousness comes to mind when I think back to my dining experience at Kabobji. We had the pita/humus, lemon chicken oregano platter and the Chicken Tawouk Platter. The humus was one of the best humus's I've ever had and both chicken dishes were SO GOOD! The lemon sauce on the oregano chicken really stood out for its zesty, garlicky flavor. The homemade pita was hands down, the BEST EVER! We finished the meal with some lovely pistachio baklava and that's all she wrote. Great place to try some unique and fresh flavors. read more

FLAVOR!!! Plenty of seating for a Saturday lunch. Quickly seated by an attentive staff. I thoroughly enjoyed the Grape Leaves as my appetizer; Delicious! The Chicken Shawarma pita was crisp, packed with meat and sauce. One of the best I have ever had. The fresh lemonade washed it all down. Music and atmosphere at perfect level. Gotta go again. read more

We just stumbled upon this gem on our way to Fort Lauderdale from Bal harbor. There is good amount of seating inside the restaurant. The ambiance of this place is normal, nothing fancy. The menu had a lot of options in it. Super vegetarian friendly as well. We ordered chicken tawouk and lamb kafta kabob. The portion size is huge. Both our dishes were great. I just wish the chicken pieces were a bit smaller. The garlic sauce they have is delicious. Overall, I would highly recommend this place and will be back again. Also there is plenty of parking available in the complex. read more

What happened to one of our favourite restaurants!? We used to eat here all the time and it was always delicious! But it was 4-3 years ago. Now in June 2022 the quality is not what it used to be. Im still giving 3 stars because the hummus, baba ganoush and the bulgar wheat were delicious. But their wraps and pitta bread have gone south. We paid extra for fresh pitta bread but looked like they were busy to make it fresh, definitely not freshly baked. Chicken wrap - very flat and super dry. Only chicken inside, barely any sauce and one pickle at the end. Falafel wrap - the worst ever. It went straight in the garbage. That was not falafel it used to be!! I'm not even sure it was falafel or not!? It was very hard, gooey and tasted like nothing. Like some tasteless flour mixed with water and undercooked. No spices, no salt, I don't even think there were chickpeas inside. Horrible. read more
The ambiance is nice. It's a very cozy place but spacious. They do have a small outdoor seating m. The service was great. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious! The pies are made to order and super fresh! read more

Grateful for the help so far met the woman of my dreams where would you go searching for a dinner spot sat night near ipic…
It's definitely not a romantic spot. Great spot for Lebanese food maybe on your third date.
