I've eaten here before and they weren't bad but today was ridiculous. I ordered the beef shawrma wrap pictured with fries for 11.99 on Doordash.. It was about 7.99 on their site. Fine I can't leave so I ordered 2 wraps an falafel $40 including tip. Ok no problem. Except there are no fries. Whose paying $12 for a single skewer that is bland as heck? Shawrma has flavor. I understand things are in the crapper right now but being overcharged for some BS is exactly that BS. Unless u want to pay $20 to add some fries go somewhere else.. Yes their platters start at $18.99. Total waste of money.
After enjoying Baba Ghannouj Mediterranean Bistro in Cary last week, my girl & I decided to explore another 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.
Yum, just yum! I'm happy I've finally made my way to Kebab Skewer, and I'm sorry it took me this long to check it out. This place has got some tasty eats and I'm destined to go back and check out more menu items. For lunch. I grabbed a spicy chicken shawarma wrap, plus the two desserts pictured: homemade ma'amoul and baklava. Delicious! And very inexpensive compared to other restaurants (albeit, the baklava is on the smaller side). The spicy shawarma wrap was moist and consistently flavorful throughout. The bread was tasty and the ratio of ingredients was spot on. The deserts were crumbly (ma'amoul) and flaky (baklava), and sweet. The restaurant itself is a basic spot in a strip mall, geared more towards takeout. Lots of takeout ready for pickup when I was there around noon. The staff was super friendly and inviting, creating a great atmosphere.
Very tasty hummus! The Mediterranean salad was good, dressing was a bit odd but tastey. My fiancé loved the skewers and will definitely be returning.
Great food, good prices. The wait to get our order seemed way too long and we were the only ones in the resturaunt. It was pretty quiet and my friend and I were able to talk without having to fight over other voices. However the food is delicious here so the wait didn't bother me too much and I was not in a hurry. The bathrooms really needed cleaning. There was no toilet paper.
We had a craving for some Mediterranean food and decided to check out a kebab place we hadn't been to yet. I got the Chicken kabob platter which comes with rice, yogurt sauce, a side salad and pita bread. The chicken was very moist and had a good flavor to it. The hubs ordered the beef Koobideh platter. It came with the same sides as mine. He felt that it was just...meh as it really had no flavor. He said that it might as well have been rolled meatloaf for all he knew. Needless to say, he has definitely had much better. We both agreed that the rice was not like any we have had at other Mediterranean restaurants. Neither of us could really put our finger on what was so different about it. The pita bread was very bland and tasted like it was store bought. It wasn't a horrible meal but it also wasn't the best meal we have had.
It pains me to write this review. As a Persian, it's super exciting to find a "Mediterranean" restaurant with more than just Lebanese and Greek food (which I love btw!). Kebab Skewer has a little of each with the focus being on Persian. To the average, person the menu will look like a bunch of kebabs with no respect to region. Persian spices/flavor is very distinct in its own right; different from Greek and Lebanese flavors. Regardless of the region, I would expect a shish kebab (whether steak, ground beef, chicken or lamb) to be tender, juicy and brimming with spices. I ordered takeout and GrubHub delivered it very quickly (within 30 mins). Every skewer with the exception of the grilled chicken was extremely dry and over cooked. So dry, in fact, that I had to coat it in the watery yogurt sauce to get it down. Here's the thing: I can deal with dry food if it means getting a taste of those yummy Persian spices but that was lacking as well. No taste of saffron, turmeric, parsley, onion - nothing. The rice was fluffy but I can tell it was re-steamed or old (perhaps from lunch). The salad and bread were both good. I don't think I'll be back because it doesn't seem like a bad fluke. Their recipes are just lacking flavor, let alone Persian flavor. Throw in the fact that it was I overcooked and not inexpensive; it's a "no" from me. So bummed. I remain on the hunt for good Persian food in the Triangle area. read more

This place is excellent to get koubideh and awesome Persian grilled meats. I have been longing for good Iranian food and finally I have found it in our backyard. I love the bread that they make to order for you it is hot and delicious. It's probably some of the best bread I've had in the area. Rice is done well too. They have quite a few Greek dishes as well. It's a fast casual place and easy to get in and out for a quick dinner lunch. read more
Oh my god... falafel galore!!! I love falafel (good falafel), not all falafel is created equal. I've had some really good falafel and some really bad falafel in my life but this one is up there. Came in for lunch twice and both times got falafel, that's how I know theirs is on point- I was craving it the next day (and now as I type this review). It's super flavorful and FRESH is all I can think. It reminds me of the authentic falafel I get overseas, and not many restaurants can nail this flavor in the US. They have many other dishes and sandwiches to choose from but I'm not sure when I'll get sick of the falafel to be able to try something else. The owner is a very kind, humble man who greets you with a smile. Prices are reasonable too! read more

Stopped here with the wife for a quick bite, ended up getting a keema (spicy) kebab wrap, a falafel wrap, and some homemade Kibbeh. I was pleasantly surprised, the food was delicious and filling. The owner greeted us and even offered us complimentary drinks. The place appeared very clean and the staff was friendly. Did I mention that the bread is baked fresh upon ordering? It was delicious!!! We ended up paying $20 for all that food. We'll definitely be back soon. read more

The place is located in Wellington shopping center where the Lowe's food is located. There is plenty of parking. The food is made fresh on the grill when you order. The chicken was nice and juicy and the bread was sooo good. The staff is really friendly and the place is very clean which is always a plus. read more
