My family ordered out from and the food was delivered well packaged and delicious. Would recommend.

NEW MANAGEMENT * NEW MENU* DECOR IMPROVEMENT* MUCH BETTER FOOD! Potential for 5 stars (should have renamed restaurant to match the new identity) The only thing the same about Kitchen 18 is the address and that it is still a kosher restaurant that serves fully inspected meats unlike randomly inspected non-kosher meat. Only disease free animals are used. Grass Fed beef comes from the front quarter of the cow and the back end is sold to non-kosher plants. For these reasons meat platters do cost more than from non-kosher places. The menu offers a lot of variety but includes Middle Eastern Mediterranean Foods, SUSHI, Chinese style food, American Food and International Specials. We shared a variety of plates and started with Spicy Tuna Sushi. The tuna was clean tasting but not spicy. The rice was rolled nicely and didn't fall apart. Light soy, wasabi paste, a creamy sweet and slightly spicy sauce, a sweet kind of teriyaki and pickled ginger were served with the sushi. The Mediterranean Platter had very above average Falafels that were made with fresh herbs. The Falafels are what I'd call the crunchy meatball style that most but not all restaurants serve. The Baba Ganoush was AMAZING. Fire Charred Eggplant with just the right spices and textures. I haven't come across any better in Phoenix or Glendale. Hummus creamy and above average and also above average fluffy fresh pita bread. Shawarma Plate was also OUTSTANDING. The Chicken Meat had that really super perfect juicy texture and Flavor. So moist and seasoned just so. It might have been the BEST Chicken Shawarma I ever had. Blows away the shawarma I tried from other Mediterranean Restaurants I've been to lately. Skhug sauce (red pepper hot sauce) was a different style that I am used too. It was very hot and tasty and made with dried spicy peppers. The Grilled Vegetables that came on the plate were very delicious. Pita bread was very above average and was light and fluffy and fresh made. I note since this is a kosher restaurant I wouldn't expect the Chinese Food or even the sushi to be the best. Haven't sampled enough of the menu to award 5 stars but they do serve some winners here and the Mediterranean Food was above average for sure! Very much worth a try for the Shawarma and Baba Ganoush read more

Loved this place while we were in Scottsdale recently. Ending up ordering from them several times, including delivery once to our hotel. Kids loved the chicken, couldnt get enough of it! Also the falafel plate was excellent. Restaurant itself is a bit dated, could use a refresh, but service was good, and pricing was reasonable. read more

This restaurant is large, with room to seat many. The food was delicious and the portions were very big, we couldn't even finish all of it (we took home for dinner the next day). The only con was that our waitress was very on top of us like she wanted us out of there as quick as possible. We felt very rushed and pressured. We also got the hot cookie with ice cream for dessert, which was so good!! Would recommend this place for a good, filling meat dinner. read more

Kitchen18 - Mediterranean Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Kitchen18 did a beautiful job when I ordered food for a gathering. All the wraps were extremely delicious and very well presented. The salads and appetizers were also very tasty and beautifully arranged. The price was very reasonable for the amount of food that I got. The owner was very nice, accommodating, and pleasant to work with. He met with me in person to decide on the order and replied to my emails very promptly. All the food was ready when I went to pick it up. I will surely go back to them for future catering orders. read more

This was a great find, especially during this time of takeout only. Their wrap sandwiches were flavorful, fresh, and large. The Grilled Veggie wrap was terrific. Good selection of vegetables and spicy sauce.Yum! The chicken Caesar wrap was wonderful, also. The fries were very good, fresh and appeared hand-cut. They included several packets of condiments , which were unnecessary with their flavorful sauces. I would highly recommend this restaurant, and, will certainly return. read more

My husband and I had enjoyed this restaurant several times over the years but not recently. I will say that it is just as good as remembered. We went with a friend who had never been here.There is a nice sized menu with what appear to be daily specials and a good sized sushi menu. II was pleasantly surprised to see a nice selection of quality alcohol available. Eitan the waiter was very friendly and efficient. I had the mushroom onion burger which was delicious and messy like a good burger should be-besides the mushroom and onions there was bbq sauce. My double portion of fries was huge and when I asked for extra pickle I was given a very good sized portion. My husband had orange chicken and the portion was good enough that he brought some home for breakfast. Our friend enjoyed the chicken soup and sushi that she ordered. My one disappointment was that the onion rings were not available. For a small local kosher restaurant the ambience is nice and Eli the manager was very nice to deal with. Good food, good service, good prices-what more could you want in a restaurant. Would definitely want to go back when we are in the area. read more

Great kosher restaurant. It's tough to find kosher food when traveling so we were lucky to find this. The menu is extensive and they even have Chinese and sushi (dinner only) options. The chicken soup is amazing and smells just like my own homemade soup. Only thing to add are noodles. Would definitely recommend. read more

Service was incredibly fast, brought all our food out at once which I loved since we were a large group. Food was incredible

A strangely hostile experience. Their credit card machine went down *in the middle of the meal* and they demanded one of us run to an ATM to pay in cash (just one of us, not both, they insisted). Couldn't do this for time reasons (work lunch), so they wanted a picture of my credit card and driver's license. We asked if there was another way (a check?), and they started to get angry with us and walked away. We finally came to an agreement, I'd leave my business card and come back to pay in cash after work (which they didn't trust, trying to quiz me on the details). Literally, as we stood up to leave after resolving, they told us the machine just started working. It was scammy at worst (cash is better than credit, no CC fees and don't need to claim income) -- or just bizarre and antagonistic at best. After they said their machine started working, we thanked them for letting us know. The server seemed angry, and said "At least you don't have to walk all the way across a parking lot [to an ATM]," and dismissively chucked our bill on the table. I asked for my business card back and they told me they'd keep it ... Why? Yikes. I don't even remember what the food tasted like (I think it was okay?) because it was such a weird experience. Just be warned and at least take some cash with you. read more

This visit was due to several recommendations from acquaintances, who said they've enjoyed their meals here many times. It was a spontaneous stop tonight. I ordered a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. It was very flavorful and contained veggies and plenty of chicken. It was hearty and filling and I'd get it again for sure. I also bought a side of pita bread which was spongy and tasty. I'll be back for more food. read more

I purchased a salad a few days ago. Over priced and tasteless. I ended up throwing it away...The tomatoes were the only thing worth eating. Had to wait 15 minutes to get it. Very disappointed. read more

There was nothing good about this place! The food was subpar! The French fries were ice cold. Beware they add on a 18 percent tip!! Are you kidding me! DO NOT GO THERE. read more

Truly the best kosher restaurant in Phoenix. Consistently good food, great variety-even Chinese. This is the go-to place I'd you want delicious kosher food. Ample shareable portions. Thank you so much for adding to the Phoenix kosher experience read more

I didn't really know much about this place, but all of our choices for Mother's Day lunch were completely booked! Was looking for somewhere different and not as busy to try out, so I decided on Kitchen 18! We made a reservation on yelp, not realizing it was a hole in the wall type place ha. But we were impressed! We weren't sure about it when we first walked up, but we left happy for sure. The lady working there was nice, as we were eating some people showed up who were clearly regulars, which was cool. I like it when little restaurants are like that. As a vegetarian, I was very excited about the menu. Settled on the "18 Bits" appetizer platter as my meal so I could try a bit of everything! The rest of my family all got chicken pitas with the bread on the side. Also my sister and mom got sweet potato fries on the side and they were so dang good. My platter had baba ganoosh, hummus, falafel, and a quinoa salad. The quinoa and the hummus were my favorite part! So good. The pita bread was warm and soft too, amazing. The baba ganoosh was good but not my favorite, and the falafel was a bit too crispy for my liking, but it was good with the tahini! Checked in on here and got 15% off so that was sweet. Overall, pleased with Kitchen 18, will be recommending it to our Jewish fam friends for sure. read more

My friend wanted to go to a Vegetarian restaurant since she doesn't eat meat. I really wanted to try this place since it got almost 5 stars. First off, I am definitely NOT a vegetarian. I need my meat in my life! lol. But I'm always open to trying new things. =) We ordered the hummus to start which I thought was quite tasty. It was actually a pretty big portion. Most places I go to I always run out of Pita bread. lol. I then ordered the Bowtie Bolognese. I thought it was ok. It wasn't the best thing I've ever had or the worse. I thought it was a bit bland and maybe could've used some vegetables with it. I liked the fact that they have vegan dishes AND entrees with meat in it as well. The best part? I got 15% off of my order thanks to Yelp! Woo Hoo! lol. It's a very cute, cozy restaurant and I liked the environment. Not to mention the customer service was very friendly. They close at 9 though so you'll have to go early. It's quite far for me as well so I probably wouldn't come back unless my Vegetarian friend really wanted to. =) read more

By chance I managed to show up here at an off hour and I was the only customer. I got to talk to waiter. The chef is from Israel. They use all natural organic ingredients and everything's made from scratch. It shows! The food was amazballs! I'm telling you, if you're in the Scottsdale area hit this place up. Plus if you check-in on Yelp you get 15% off. Side note: I asked what's up with the name. The number 18 is lucky in Judaism. read more

This is hidden back behind the DQ off of Scottsdale at Shea - went in for lunch. The server was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the chicken and lamb shawarma (pita) with fries. It was quite tasty (and, you won't leave hungry - I just had my leftover portion for lunch today!) Seemed like most everyone else who came in were regulars (they recognized each other). Cool little place - give it a shot! read more

Kitchen18 - Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Very much enjoyed having lunch and dinner here on a trip to Phoenix. I happen to keep Kosher and when I discovered this restaurant was across the street from my hotel I decided to give it a try. The food was much better than expected. I 've been to MANY Kosher eateries where the only reason anyone would eat there is because it's Kosher. Given other options.. but this is definitely not the case with Kitchen18. The food where was great. The burger I had for lunch was fantastic, and it was massive. I couldn't finish it. The fries were good, the right crisp. For dinner I had a kabob and a hummus plate. Portions were large but the food was good. I will visit again when I'm in the area. read more

Being from out of town I like to try different kinds of food . I haven't had a schnitzel in quite a few years. I had the chicken schnitzel with sweet potato fries and grilled veggies. The schnitzel needed some kind of gravy because it was very dry. Fortunately my wife had the Falafel Plate which had a lot of hummus which I used to coat my schnitzel. The grilled veggies were over cooked. They tasted like my mother made them.Par boiled and soggy then grilled. I think it's a Jewish thing. We will give you a ton of food that is bland and over cooked. Hoping that you ate so much food for your money that you will be satisfied. Didn't work for me. read more

I have been eating in this glat kosher restaurant for many years. I always made it a point to seek it out when in the Phoenix area on business.

FANTASTIC!!! I would go back in a heartbeat. Huge variety to choose from. Best Kung Pau ever!

Kitchen18 is listed online as a Middle Eastern restaurant, but has very little offerings of this meal. Instead it has a full offering of Chinese and American food. I tried the Ruben wrap; word to the wise, avoid it. The meat was not sliced thinly nor of good quality. While the service was good, it was a slow night. read more

This place was amazing! So very delicious. Jen, our server, was great. So sweet and hospitable. The food was spectacular. Get ready to take home left overs because the portions are enormous! Perfect for sharing! The tuna tartare was the freshest and yummiest I've ever had. The short ribs were literally falling off the bone, served with delicious homemade mashed potatoes, and steamed veggies cooked to perfection. The Lomein was also fabulous. Can't wait to come back and try some more menu options. read more

Unbeatable ceviche! Nigiri was excellent too. Menu had a range of ethnic choices. Would go back.

I not recommend eating here since everything is not fresh, salads I believe they keep it for a week, fries is cold and my hamburger fall apart and don't even look like it's made from meat, very disappointed and I would not recommend eating here. read more

So delicious and a great variety of options on the menu! The burgers have a great chargrilled taste. Steak fries and wonton soup are soooooo good. Portions are HUGE! read more

So great to have a Kosher restaurant. Too bad there aren't more Kitchen 18's all over Arizona. We started with sushi as an appetizer and all three rolls we ordered were delicious. By then we were so full we ordered only one entree: the Orange Chicken. Wow what a huge plate. Could have been crispier but the taste was excellent. I think this restaurant is designed for families where everyone wants something very different for dinner. They have it all here and based on what we had tonight, it's all very good. read more
