Good food, great service, and reasonably priced. This is only the second time I've ever been to a Kabobske and very much will go again. The staff was accommodating, patient (I had a large order), and took their time to make my food the right way. I had a steak bowl, my wife had a steak wrap, and my kid had the steak melt. All were fantastic options and had great flavor! I was a huge fan of the pita chips and hummus. The french fries were not that impressive and will certainly try a different side next time. I recommend the place if you're looking for healthier eating options that will still fill you up. Bring some quarters because it is street parking. The restaurant also has a food truck that travels around Cincinnati, which I look forward to trying out eventually

Gyro and falafel bowl. Hummus appetizer. Baklava.

Thanks for the tasty YES meal! I had the bowl with a combo of gyro and falafel. The side of mama ganoush was a fun new flavor. Always add the baklava. Very good!

Baba ganoush and pita

Long story short, I will be back to Kabobske. I have been craving falafel, but didn't really know of a place to get any, then this popped up. Talk about incredible timing lol. They not only have falafel, but they have a wide menu of different proteins and toppings. You can even get loaded fries! There's something here for everyone. But besides that, the service was great. I was there very shortly after opening, so I was taken care of right away. And the food was delicious. My wrap kind of fell apart lol but hey, I still ate it!

Very yummy and filling! I love the falafels here! You also can't go wrong with their pita bread and hummus.

This meal was decent, I felt it was pretty bland. The fries and hummus were awesome! The baklava was also delicious. The staff was friendly. The chicken wrap was bland but the hot sauce was a nice addition!

I. Love. Kabobske! So fresh. So delicious. So much variety. So customizable. SO DELICIOUS! I have been there a few times now and keep getting the lamb kebab bowl because it's so good. I'm positive it's all great and I plan to try more and more, but I've loved the lamb bowls so much I keep getting them.

Baklava

Yes! Yelp! Yes! What a great lil place! I went on an event for yelp to try and not I'm glad I did. This spot is in the heart of Clifton. The gentleman who helped me was very polite (like yes ma'am no ma'am polite) he explained everything to me as I'm new to the mediterranean food world! The Tzatziki sauce was really really good and the mama ghanoush had a kick I liked! Let me tell you do not go there without trying the baklava OMG! So good so sweet and nutty and gooey! I've had a few others from fancy places and this was hands down better... I have a few friends that enjoy places like this so I'll be back with them so I can try more!! Thanks again yelp!

Wrap & Bowl, Side and Drink Meal Deal

This is a Mediterranean Chipotle. Not the most authentic, but seriously delicious!!!!! COVID: Masks required. Indoor dining available. Regular plates & bowls used but disposable utensils. I ordered a (white bread) wrap. I tried their Kabobske Sauce which was just hummus + carrots. I did chicken & gyro for my meat... it was all awesome!!!! Huge and filling sandwich. My husband got a bowl (he's gluten free) and loved their meat with the spicy tzatziki sauce. He was starving when we got there and left absolute stuffed! The portions are incredibly generous for the price! We both got grape leaves as a side and they're perfect! They reminded me of grape leaves my grandma use to make. Everything was super yummy and the staff was incredibly helpful (letting us sample and give recommendations). We will absolutely be back!!!

Gyro bowl, salad, shwarma bowl with a side of pita and pita chips.

First time eating here, it was a great experience. The owner was helpful and let my group take their time ordering and tasting all the sauces. The food was fresh, flavorful, and super cheap. It's a hard time right now for businesses and this shop just opened and could use some traffic. Try it! It's cheap, fast, and healthy. The pita chips were out of this world.

Door order/prep station was very tidy.
Dean S.

Well... simply put, the lunch I just picked up from Kabobskes on Short Vine was delicious. I called in my order and they were super understanding with all my questions, because I tend to ask more than the average person. My wife says I talk too much but this is how you get details on what they offer from the listed menu but also suggestions from the person who answered the phone on what they think is very good to them and what is popular. We used to have an eatery by my work called Rombes, like forever ago, that was torn down to erect a CityBBQ. It's not like I don't like BBQ but I do enjoy some decent Greek food. Nothing better than some gyro meat, lettuce, banana peppers and some tzatziki(sp?) sauce... Mmmm... So as you already are aware, I got the gyro wrap, a side of bread w/hummus with a good amount of evoo, a small Greek salad and they all were fantastic. And to my surprise, they included a piece of baklava that was so tasty. It was nutty, buttery and sweet with just a whisper of cinnamon so that was something I highly suggest you try.

My family visited Cafe Mediterranean last night and had an outstanding experience. I feel that the…read more'personal touch' of a family owned restaurant is both unique and becoming harder to find. If this appeals to you, try this place. Their service makes you quickly feel right at home, and that continues throughout the meal. There were five of us, so we ordered several dishes to share. The hummus was fresh, the falafel was crispy on the outside and tasty, the lamb was tender, and the lahmacun ('Turkish pizza' for those that haven't tried this) was outstanding. The Lahmacun reminded me of my visit to a Turkish restaurant in Kazakhstan many years ago -- it was that good. My adult kids also had the salmon and a chicken sauté and loved both... I almost lost a finger getting a nibble. The drinks and desserts were also spot on. It's a very relaxed atmosphere and has seating to accommodate larger groups, so bring your friends and family and share. One recommendation for the Cafe -- we wish the lighting were a bit dimmer. Seemed a little bright in the main dining area. Other than that, thanks for a great night.

The atmosphere had a relaxed elegance without feeling fancy, and after coming straight from a loud reception, the calm setting with gentle music was exactly what we needed. My colleague and I both ordered the chicken kebab dinner, and it was exceptional. The food was flavorful and tasty, the chicken was moist and deliciously seasoned, and the steamed vegetables were cooked perfectly without being mushy. We also enjoyed the Turkish tea after dinner, which was recommended to help with digestion. It was a strong black tea served in the cutest little glass cup with a handle, and we finished every drop. The staff was attentive, kind, and welcoming without being intrusive. Overall, it was a very relaxing and enjoyable dining experience, and I'd gladly return.

Our server Hassan was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Overall great experience and would recommend.

Finally she made reservations for Saturday evening (it is recommended because they get super busy). We got there and was greeted by the owner. BTW, was very down to earth. So their menu looked good (Lebanese food). There is so much to choose from and hard to decide. I especially loved their drink menu, especially wines. We ended up ordering: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches Almaza Pilsner My favorite from the appetizers is the eggplant and falafel! Super fresh and the bread that came with it was so good. Even the dipping sauce was amazing. My Shawarma chicken was super delish. You have to put the garlic butter on the rice! It gives it great flavor. My Mr enjoyed his meal as well. We definitely had to get a to go box because there was so much food. But we will look forward the next day to eat it. Overall, the service was great and I loved the experience. We can see ourselves coming back for more! I can see why my best friend loves it here! Highly recommend you try it.

The food was fantastic, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was very laid back. We even met the owner who was immensely friendly and welcoming. We went for dinner on a Saturday evening. For weekends, reservations are strongly recommended because they get busy FAST. They're only open for dinner hours too. Their menu is pretty big with a plethora of options to choose from including lots of appetizers, flatbreads, shawarmas, kebabs, falafel, and lots of tasty desserts. Their libations menu was very nice too, with numerous options for beer, wine, and spirits. (Try the Almaza for a crisp and tasty Pilsner) all at great prices. Here's what we had: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches red wine blend Almaza Pilsner Hoegaarden Belgian wit bier They also give you unlimited fresh pita bread with a delicious dipping sauce. Everything was incredible and cooked to perfection. We'll definitely be coming back here again. Unfortunately, this time, we had no room for dessert, but maybe next time.

We are in town visiting and we went there for a nice meat meal after several days of dairy on the road. There were 6 of us at the table with 2 children. If I lived in town I would not be going back. They had 1 waitress working the entire place. She was kind enough but all she did was make excuses. We sat down at 6:15 and we did not get our hummus appetizer, which apparently they ran out of soon after, until 7:15. When we arrived there was only 2 tables occupied so it was not bustling. I am not sure how or why it took so long to prepare Hummus but given the ingredients I could have scratch cooked our entire meals in a fraction of that time. Again, when we arrived there were 2 other tables of 2 and maybe 1-2 small orders picked up during out time there. During our visit they had several more groups come in, some served before us, some getting the constant refrain, "we are out of this." It seems like there was 1 chef in the kitchen preparing all the food on their own. It is also highly problematic that they had 2 small children sitting there for an hour with not even a little bread or anything. We had to push the waitress to get the hot dogs out so they would calm down. As for the food, most of it was OK. The ribeye was properly cooked. The braised short rib was tender with a little wine flavor. The kids hot dogs were hot dogs. The chicken schwarma was flavorful. The Israeli salad was what you would expect. The green beans were overcooked, unseasoned and tasted like nothing. The worst and most impressive thing was how they got the mashed potatoes to taste like they came from a powder out of a box. I don't often leave something completely uneaten but they were inedible. How you can serve a $50 steak with such artificial swill is beyond me. I get it, they are the only option. Fail!
