Discovering Sacramento eateries…read more.. This is definitely one of those hidden gems that is definitely off the beaten path. Seating in the restaurant is pretty minimal, and in fact, when you walk in, you may not feel necessarily welcomed, set that all aside you're there for the food! Interestingly, enough, there seems to be three similar but different cuisines that are offered, and everything is scrumptious sounding. The restaurant is Halal, which also means that there is going to be an additional level of cleanliness and everything that they do. We both ended up ordering the Gyro plate, with the three meat options. Beef, lamb, and chicken. Everything about this plate is mouth watering delicious. I really preferred the beef and lamb as the pieces were well seasoned, well cooked, and the meat was so juicy and tasty kept me more and more! The chicken was also delicious but my preference really is for the beef and lamb. The plate comes with rice, which is very flavorful and fluffy. The meat is actually served on top of it and as you're enjoying, it gets all mixed together. There is a side salad of sorts. That is cold, fresh and a nice addition. The sauce that they put on top is really tasty, and they bring a cold bottle of it along with a hotter version to the table. They also bring 1/4 size piece of pita per order. It served warm, I would've preferred more pita! They don't offer actual glasses of water, but they do offer bottled water that they charge for, along with some of the other soft drinks. They do serve complementary soup that was really delicious. Not only is this a must try for the food, but the food is so reasonably priced, you'll absolutely wonder why you haven't been here already.

Famous Kabob is a great Sacramento spot for fresh, flavorful Persian food. The chicken and beef…read morekoobideh are always a solid choice. The kabobs are juicy, tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The rice is fluffy and pairs perfectly with the meat, while the house salad adds a fresh balance to the plate. The Shirazi salad is another must-order. It tastes light and refreshing and complements the kabobs without overpowering them. Everything works well together, from the flavorful meat and rice to the crisp salads. The service is good, and the atmosphere is comfortable for a casual lunch or dinner. Famous Kabob is a dependable choice when I'm craving a satisfying Persian meal, and I would definitely recommend it.

The visit to Sactown Kabobs was not planned. I just happened to be in the area where I knew there…read morewere a lot of Middle East restaurants. I decided to visit the restaurant based on Yelp rating. I normally don't select a restaurant because of the rating. I decide based on the menu. Their menu definitely got me interested. The food was very good. Upon recommendations from the cashier, I selected their Chicken Combo which had chicken and beef. I was happy that they offered between chicken breast and thigh meat. I also ordered à la carte of the Shish, lamb shank, chicken souvlaki, and Koobideh (ground beef). The different kabobs were seasoned well. The Shish is cubed beef kabob. They will cook it to your preference. I chose medium rare and it was cooked to my liking. The meal came with rice, pita bread (sorry if it's called something else) and hummus. I should have asked if the meats came with some type of sauce. Over, my kids and I enjoyed the flavor of the meats. The shank was very tender and fall off the bone as described by the menu. I loved that the restaurant is family owned, not something like a restaurant group. The restaurant is clean and the staffs are friendly. It is family friendly.

The staff was nice although it took some tries to flag their attention for water refill, etc. We started off with manti. I've never tried this before but it's a dumpling filled with ground beef and sweet onion. It was very cumin-forward. The white sauce was smooth and balanced. The meat platter for two was awesome and came out flaming literally. It had 2 beef kabob, 2 chicken kabob, and 2 lamb chops. My favorite was the chicken for how juicy it was. The beef and lamb tasted a bit drier and very cumin heavy but overall delicious. We finished off with honey cake and tea. I loved the cake-- layered with a light creme and naturally sweetened by the honey. It paired well with their strong and fragrant black tea.

SEE REVIEWS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. Appears it's under new ownership…read more One of the worst eatery places I've ever experienced. How is this a sit-down restaurant but no bathroom for your customers???? They have a "No Public Restroom" sign inside the restaurant. How are you not available to take orders during lunch hour on a weekend because you're praying...right in front of the register??? This is not Afghanistan. I ordered the chicken plate to go. The chicken tasted old like it was made a day or two before AND it tasted like it was boiled. It had absolutely NO flavor. There was a VERY small portion of chicken and lots of rice. The rice tasted ok but you could tell it was not made the same day. I took one bite and tossed the entire thing. The bolani was just ok, no salt. The so called chatty sauce was so watered down. I was excited to support this small business, especially as an Afghan. I was absolutely disappointed and nearly disgusted by my experience here. I will NEVER return nor will I ever recommend this place. I would not be surprised if they go out of business soon.
