Kolbeh Turkish Restaurant is a good Turkish restaurant. Food is good. Good quality and good flavor. Nothing over powering and just right amount. Quantity of food is good. The size of their shank and pita bread is notably positive. 4/5 for food. The atmosphere is very bland. It's a restaurant in a mall so it is limited at decorum. It's is clean and feels like a bland diner. 3/5 for atmosphere and overall decorum. Service is good. Staff is quick to say hi, ask what we needed and take our order. It is a small space so it is limited number of customers. The manager (owner ?) was quick to say hi. Our server was Melisi who was very good, knowledgeable and polite. 5/5 for service. Overall, Kolbeh Turkish Restaurant is a recommend with a 4/5.
Came across Kolbeh Turkish Restaurant while visiting Fair Oaks Mall and decided to give it a try for a quick bite. We ordered: -Veggie pide (4/5) - Loaded with vegetables and cheese, with great flavor. -Chicken shish kabob platter (4/5) - The meat was juicy and flavorful. -Turkish coffee (5/5) - A must-try with a very authentic taste. The service was friendly, and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. It's slightly pricey for the portion size, but I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant.
Very small and cozy Turkish spot, not necessarily authentic as the owner is Persian. The owner was extremely kind and hospitable with complimentary tea and exceptional service. Our food came out very quickly. While the chicken was lacking some flavor, overall I was impressed with the large portions for the platters and dessert was delicious!
Delicious casual Turkish restaurant. Came here for a quick dinner and we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious and fresh food. For appetizers we ordered hummus and fried eggplant served with huge freshly baked pita bread that was out of this world. For entrees we got the lamb shank and chicken shish kabob. My husband and son said the lamb was one of the best dishes they had ever had. The restaurant unfortunately missed the mark on the chicken which was extremely bland. It definitely needed some hot sauce and the yogurt sauce. Although the meat was extremely tender. Hopefully it was a one off? I see a lot of negative reviews on not getting an itemized bill. We received one that evening and paid after reviewing it. So I suggest asking if it really bothers you. We will definitely we back
Greeted by the owner, seated immediately. This is a mall restaurant location, near a set of doors leading outside. Restaurant was clean, with customers but not supeOwner suggested lamb shank and sautéed beef tenderloin.delicious! The lamb shank was both flavorful and so tender I actually cut it from the bone with a spoon! Give this place a try!
An unforgettable dining experience! The food was outstanding--rich flavors, generous portions, and authentic Turkish taste in every bite. The hospitality was exceptional; the staff were warm, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do. This is the kind of place you want to come back to again and again.
Solid turkish food in the mall, fast casual and tasty. Definitely a cut above regular mall food. THe service was great too, for a fast casual place, they really know how to treat their customers well. Big ups to the food servers there!
I am visiting the area and wanted to treat myself to a nice light meal. I searched Yelp and Kolbeh popped up. I am so glad I came here. I ordered the fried eggplant which was packed with flavors and cooked to perfection. I also ordered their fresh bread and hummus. The staff was great and attentive. I chose to sit outside on the patio! Great
Arash and team are the best in the area. Skip mezeh and the chains and go to an authentic, handmade and family owned Turkish restaurant. Brunch, breakfast, lunch or dinner, this place has it all including fresh made deserts. The staff are incredible as well. Thank you Kolbeh Team!
We first heard about Kolbeh from a Yelp newsletter. After looking at their menu, we decided to give it a try. Plus, we hadn't been to the Fair Oaks Mall in quite some time and I was curious as to what stores and restaurants they had these days. Once inside the mall, I looked at a directory and saw it was across the hall from Sushi On. The spot it occupies once held a fast food Indian restaurant and the set up was still the same. When we entered, it was unclear if we had to order at the counter or if we were expected to be seated by a server. Turns out that the counter was for takeout orders. A server saw us looking around and she seated us. The menus are on the table in a napkin holder. We had looked at the menu online so we had a good idea as to what we wanted to try. For an appetizer, we chose to try "Muhammara" which consists of: "dairy free roasted red pepper spread with walnut, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, served with bread". FYI---the walnut consists of one piece on top of the spread. Also, a cucumber slice and 2 tomato slices were added. The bread arrived at the table piping hot with a nice crust and a soft interior. Some slices had black sesame seeds on top. We both really liked this appetizer. The flavors all blended well together. The garlic was in very small pieces and we could easily taste it but it didn't overpower the other ingredients. When we used up the bread, my husband just took the serving spoon and ate the remainder that way. For our entrees, we both chose the "Kiymali Pide" which consists of: "ground beef, cheese (we think it was mozzarella), tomato, onion, pepper, parsley" A small salad of sorts which is predominately sliced red onions, followed by a tomato slice and some arugula. A lemon slice also comes with this dish. Our server suggested we get lahmacun but while we like it, we wanted to try pide. My husband asked if we should share one or each get our own. She said to get your own as she thought it wouldn't be too much food. We both enjoyed the Pide as the amount of filling was just right. It was served fresh, right out of the pan. My husband easily ate his portion. I was starting to feel full at the end. We both wanted to try their baklava and were pleased that one order consisted of 2 small pieces---just right for the 2 of us! The baklava was fresh and crispy with a nice honey drizzle. I'm picky about my baklava as I grew up eating homemade ones. My grandmother and great-aunt would make them from scratch. The don't serve alcoholic beverages so we both ordered ginger ales. It turned out that the only had one bottle in stock so we shared it. As an aside---If you are interested in learning the difference between lahmacun and pide, here is a link that describes it quite well: https://juliescafebakery.com/lahmacun-vs-pide/ And, yes, we will return. Service was excellent---very friendly, polite and efficient plus the food was delicious. The place is a bit loud due to background music and not so great acoustics but not so bad that you can't have a conversation.
Whilst waiting for my daughter's iPhone repair, we needed nourishment. It was between lunch and dinner, so fairly quiet on a Tuesday afternoon. We were warmly welcomed by (what I assume was) the owner. Before we knew it, we had a freshly made meal brought to our table! This place is great. I had the sandwich (chicken) with French fries. My sandwich was delicious. Portion sizes are generous. My daughter had a kebab plate, also very tasty. French fries were delicious and served piping hot. This restaurant makes its own breads fresh. Homemade. Prices were $15-$20 range for sandwich platter or kebab platter. Generous portions. I would be interested in trying a Pide (kinda like a Turkish pizza) and can easily imagine it's great, too, This Turkish restaurant has only been open for a few months, and I wish them great success! There is attractive outdoor patio seating. It's right next to the big parking garage and - as you walk in the double doors- it's immediately to your right...very easy to park and just pop in. The owner said you can find them on grub hub and other delivery services. Thanks for a very nice late lunch/early dinner.
Having tried various items both in store and to-go, my recommendation for Kolbeh would the lahmacun and the pides, i.e. the Turkish flatbreads. The doner kebabs are for those who enjoy a thicker cut and heavier lamb to beef ratio. Friendly service and solid addition to the options at the mall right by the parking lot for easy in and out.
The food was great and full of flavor. The environment was excellent--clean, comfortable, and very inviting. Customer service was outstanding, and the host was especially friendly and welcoming. I really loved the atmosphere; it's definitely a big plus. I would happily come back again.

Started off with a staff member who asked if we had any questions about the menu when we were deciding whether to eat here. We were placed at a table for 2-3 people (though we were 4) but then moved us when a bigger table came available. The food was okay - the beef piroshky was good but not something I need to order again. The mixed grill doner platter was boring. The spinach pide was good as the other platters. The pickles/salad was very tasty. We were asked if we wanted bread. Then it was forgotten. We got it after we asked about it. Nothing great - should come with tzatziki. Also we were asked if we wanted dessert and then never given a menu. We found one on the table but then no one came by to find out if we wanted a dessert. read more
Came across this place while shopping at Fair Oaks. What drew us was the savory aroma coming from the restaurant so we had to check it out. Upon entry, we were greeted with warm smiles and a friendly staff. The general manager was also there and was very welcoming. Right off the bat, we were offered complimentary tea even though we were ordering for take out. The gesture was really cool. The menu has a bunch of offerings so it took us a minute to choose. We ended up getting a little bit of everything so we could try all the flavors. We got the Adana and Chicken Platter and the Beef and Lamb Donner platter. The Adana which is a ground beef skewer was delicious and surprisingly juicy. The chicken was a little dry and under seasoned making it hard to eat. I would pass on the chicken in the future. Maybe they could have benefited from using chicken thighs. The beef and lamb donner was a little underwhelming for my preference. With the meat being cooked the way it was, I was expecting a little crisper texture on the outside which would have made the eating experience more enjoyable with the rice and the bread. The meat could have used more seasoning but that could just be my personal preference. Both entrees came with a healthy portion of rice, bread, and veggies which was really great and filling. Overall something to definitely try if you have never had Turkish food but would only go again when I'm in the area. read more

Authentic Turkish food. We tried the Suljuk Pide, a flat bread with cheese and traditional Turkish sausage, it was very good. We also tried their beef-lamb shawarma, a little bit less convincing; the meat was dry. Overall a good experience. read more

We came here after reading very good reviews.Unfortunately this place I wouldn't recommend.We ordered Watermelon juice .It was very tasty freshly made . Our food we ordered was Adana kebab And Beef Doner Kebab. Both were very dry without any sauce. The Beef and Chicken was dry without any taste .Ot was served on a bed of rice .The lamb kebab came with rice and purple cabbage and lettuce and pita bread .Again both the dishes were not good too dry . How can one eat cabbage and lettuce without any sauce . We had to ask for Tzatziki sauce . The Doner kebab which is Gyro meat was not fresh. read more

I love this place. Everything I have tried so far has been perfect! They make the best Lahmacun I have tried in the area. Their menu is amazing & a great value. I have also tried their sauteed beef dish, that comes with rice, bread, & salad. It so good. Their Watermelon drink was also delicious! It doesn't feel heavy after eating. I also had their sujuk pide. It was so good. It's also a very clean establishment. The service is top notch too. Wish they would open in Springfield! read more

I ate here yesterday with my mom and sister. Initially we thought the Kolbeh was full and was going to leave as it is a small establishment. However, we were wrong and seated immediately. The service was very personable and talked us through the menu. All three of us ended up with a lamb dishes - Adana kebab platter, Lamb shush kebab and the lamb shank . Everything was delicious and flavorful. My mom wants to come back for her birthday soon! read more
