Looking for a something different on a Saturday night in Charleston, WV, we see that King Kabab is open and is close to the hotel. There is a good variety of Kababs, shawarma, and vegetarian options. The staff behind the counter is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is small. Order at the counter, eat in or take out. The baba ganoush was some of the best I've ever had: wonderfully smoky and smooth. Chicken shawarma and the chicken kebab platters were great and filling. Too bad we didn't have room for the baklava. If you're ever in Charleston and looking for great Mediterranean, King Kabab is your place read more

The food was fabulous but slightly expensive. The restaurant was clean but slightly rundown. The food is made fresh so be prepared to wait. read more

Excellent! Have drove by for 3 years finally tried it! It was so fresh and the meat was cooked perfectly! We had the lamb and chicken kabob combo. It was great portion and the greek dressing was a refreshing lemon olive oil. Can't wait to go back and try the falafel and lentils! read more

Good friendly service, delicious food. The kababs, hummus, and babaganoush were especially tasty. Flavorful, not hot spicy, and fresh. This is not a fast food place, so the food may take a few minutes to prepare. read more

King Kabab - Vegetarian platter - Mediterranean Near Me - South Charleston, West Virginia

We ordered the chicken kabab family meal. The portions were HUGE, and the prices fair. The chicken was a bit dry but the rice was well flavored and aromatic and the Greek salad was delicious. The hummus was decent. The falafel (side dish, cost extra) was fantastic. Service was quick (we did take out and it was ready in about 10 min), and restaurant was clean inside. read more

Charleston is a bit of a food desert if you ask me so this was a bright spot. Middle eastern fast food. You do need to get over the rundown neighborhood and shabby interior but the food is great! We had a mixed family platter with lamb and chicken and the meat was spot on with decent sides. Do take out if you possibly can, we were traveling through so had to eat in and the paper utensils and rickety table are the only reason I'm not giving it five stars. read more

I ate here a few years back when they first opened and really liked their food. I hadn't been back since until recently. Please beware. I know mistakes happen..but I am so glad I noticed the piece of raw chicken sticking out of my chicken shawarma wrap before I ate anymore. I opened my wrap only to find another piece of raw chicken. The owners apologized immensely and gave me a full refund. Thankfully I didn't get sick. read more

Place if legit! Friendly staff and the food is fantastic! A must visit if you see one of these locations.

The best Arabic food in the area, the shawarma sandwiches were amazing 10/10, fries were great and the hummus with steak and hummus with lamb are the best I've had in a while, I would definitely recommend that u try them when u stop by. The staff was very helpful and friendly it's open for dine in and the place inside is very nice and family friendly. Prices are a little on the higher side but very reasonable for the quality and taste that u get so I would definitely recommend it read more

King Kabab - Hummus with lamb and hummus with steak, chicken shawarma and fries 10/10 - Mediterranean Near Me - South Charleston, West Virginia

So happy with the food and service here! The line can get super long around lunch time but the food is worth the wait! The portion size for chicken kabobs was great (tons of rice and large chicken pieces). Love that they use chicken breasts so it keeps it healthy. The owner is very friendly and I will definitely be back if I return to the area. It is the best food I had while visiting! They also have online ordering for to-go orders read more

King Kabab - Chicken kabobs - Mediterranean Near Me - South Charleston, West Virginia

We stopped in Charleston and decided to try this as it's halal and near the interstate highway. We ordered the lamb shawarma, beef shawarma, and French fries. Lamb shawarma was good, beef shawarma I didn't really like, and the French fries were really good! We ordered another French fries because we really liked them. Service was good and both people behind the counter were wearing masks. read more

Walked in. A guy said for here or to go. I said here and sat down. Guy took several others orders after I sat down and just looked at me. After waiting 10 minutes I got up and left. He never said another word to me. I guess he wasn't interested in taking my order. read more

Very good food. I love the lamb and the tea. The atmosphere could use some work. It looks like a gas station.

Food is always good! They make your meal fresh. Their hot tea and Baklava is worth trying. Chicken kabobs is my favorite.

While on a business trip in Charleston, WV I stumbled upon this place and decided to give them a try. I got there around 6 PM and the place was mostly empty with a few people getting takeout. The place does not have great ambience which I am ok with as long as the food is excellent. I ordered King combo which is a Kefta kabab (Beef and Lamb) and Chicken kabab platter. I also ordered Tabbouleh salad with it. They gave a Yogurt sauce with the platter and offered me garlic mayo sauce and Tahini sauce in addition. The food was full of flavor and the kababs were melting in my mouth. I have dined at Middle Eastern / Mediterranean places in Houston, DMV area, and other big cities and the food here is definitely one of the best I have had for Middle Eastern cuisine. Just two days later, I got myself Lamb chops and Hummus. Even better!! Lamb chops were succulent and perfectly grilled. I will definitely be coming back to this place when I am in Charleston for business. read more

Over priced and not very tasty for the money. Not recommending or ever eating their again

Update: 11/6/19 If you haven't eaten here yet- you're missing out! Stopped in to pick up a quick dinner and we were not disappointed! This time we had the steak hummus, lamb shank, chicken shawarma and falafel. Everything was, per usual, DELICIOUS! I don't normally like hummus- but King Kababs hummus is THE BEST! The owners and employees and really nice. The owner is very knowledgeable and really cares about the food that is served. Again, I cannot say enough good things about the food, the people and the service at King Kabab! read more

Good food but a bit on the pricey side. Hummus was very good and all the flavors seemed spot on. Filled the craving needs

Really tasty. Chicken was a tad dry and I wish I had ordered extra labneh, but still very good. read more

I always forget about this place, bc of its location in S. Charleston but they have wonderful food. I have been a few times. Their hummus is on the garlicky side, but it is delicious. The food is always freshly prepared. The last time we went was when they just opened for lunch and the owner shared with us, his morning Turkish coffee. The owners are very nice and friendly. Their rice is colorful and fluffy. Kofta is tasty and tender. read more

This place was so small but welcoming I love small places to eat I love the food and we took our time ordering and they made sure we ordered what we would like, which is sweet that they cared. The food is made Halal which means the meat was kill properly. We got to go which was quick! The only complaint I would have is the rice was alittle under done and dressing we ordered wasn't what I was use to it being made (usually thicker) but overall it was pretty good happy to find this place. read more

I'm so upset. We're from North Carolina but originally from Dearborn Michigan and was in town. I was sooo excited and glad to find a spot that serves middle eastern food. But unfortunately didn't get to try it due to them being closed!!! . Inshallah next time! read more

Amazing food, great service and perfectly priced. You can't go wrong with any menu item. Keep up the good taste.

This place is awesome it reminds me of the Hallal Guys in New York so Glad you got the white sauce and offer platters ! Welcome to the area. I had the swarma platter and actually had 2 more to go . read more

Excellent meal. Kafta was tender and juicy and chicken was excellently seasoned. Rice had a very well balanced seasoning as well. Glad we came across this place on Yelp and will be back! read more

I love king kabab! At my previous job, I worked a lot of overtime so KK made my dinners most nights. One combo was enough for two meals. The owners are great and you can tell they really want to give their customers quality food. My go to is the lamb and chicken combo, extra pita with a side of garlic sauce. It's amazing every single time. read more

No frills, just excellent food. It's a tad out of my way now that I've moved out of South Charleston, but I still make the drive over sometimes just to hit King Kabab. The lamb shawarma is the best in town (and yes, there are at least two others, this one is better, and cheaper). The falafel is awesome as well. The tabouli is excellent, and second best in town. I'll gladly keep the cafeteria style, basic dining experience if the food remains this exceptional and well priced. In other words, it isn't broke, don't ask them to fix it. Chat up the owners and employees, watch them make your food (if you wish), and enjoy one of best bargain dining experiences in the area. It's all about the food! Keep up the great work! I just wish you were open Sunday! (I just drove by forgetting what day it was, and my mouth was watering for some King Kabob! There's always tomorrow though!) read more

I've been here a handful of times and I've always had an amazing meal. Drinks are bottled and forks are plastic, not a big deal. The food is amazing and the staff have always been warm and welcoming. I wish they were in Kanawha City so I could visit more often. read more

The staff was very pleasant and the good was amazing. We had the family meal and we will be going back again!!

Awesome service, and very nicely cooked kabobs! We shared the lamb loin and the filet mignon kabobs, and both meats were perfectly cooked...Awesome seasoning and super tender. Service was also outstanding, I highly recommend this place to get your Kabob fix in Charleston! read more

We just enjoyed our first meal there. Very friendly and welcoming! The food was exceptional. I loved my lamb chops. I'll certainly be back! With friends. read more

OMG! Yessssssssss!!! Since moving from Los Angeles to Nashville and now Charleston I was pretty concerned that there wasn't going to be many dining options in Charleston like I'm used to in larger cities but I'm thrillllllllled that King Kabab is here! ...and like Lizzo's song it's GOOD AS HELL! No joke, at Raffis in Los Angeles I pay $21 for chicken barg and for HALF the price I get the same quality and portion here. I'm going to explore the menu more but I already know everything I order here is going to be on point! Great food, chill environment and there's parking?!?! YES! Keep it up guys! read more

I so looked forward to this visit. It had 5 star reviews, so my expectations were high. The dining area was clean and spacious, but otherwise unremarkable. We were welcomed and felt the customer service was good. We ordered the lamb chops, what I thought looked like a gyro on the menu, but came out as a thin wrap, chicken and steak platter and greek salad. The lamb chops were seasoned and tasty, but thinly cut and small. The wrap was a very small portion and had no other sides. The chicken and steak had okay portions, but a little over cooked. The rice had a good taste but small portion with the platters. There was a bread served, but it was not typical pita, it was very thin and flat, which would be ok but it was not tasty. The greek salad was mostly tomatoes and cheese (little lettuce or anything else.) Overall, I think the portions are smaller than the prices warrant. I guess I compared it to other restaurants I have been to with similar food offerings. It is customary to get Shirazi served on the side, here the portion was so small and it was mostly tomatoes, no herbs hardly to note. The portion was like a sample not really a side. I would suggest a larger side be served. Also, if patrons dine in you could serve pita bread and hummus. It just depends if the owner wants this experienc to be that of a restaurant or a carry out. Our experience was that it feels more like a carry out, but has the opportunity to be more. read more
