I recently stopped by Master Kabob, and overall it was a very pleasant experience. The restaurant is located in a well-lit strip mall, which makes it easy to find and feel comfortable visiting in the evening. Inside, the décor was very nice and distinctly Persian, giving the space a warm and authentic atmosphere. As soon as I walked in, I was quickly greeted and told I could sit wherever I liked. I chose a comfortable booth and settled in. My server came over promptly, greeted me warmly, and took my drink order. When she returned, she didn't just bring my drink--she also surprised me with a complimentary bowl of soup called Ash-e Gojeh Farangi. I had no idea they offered that, and it was absolutely to die for. It was rich, flavorful, and a really nice unexpected touch that set the tone for the meal. For my entrée, I ordered the Koobideh (ground beef kebab) along with a Shirazi salad. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The only small criticism I have is that the beef kebab was just a tad bit overcooked for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. My server checked back in on me during the meal, which I appreciated. When I asked for to-go boxes, she brought them right away. After finishing up, I went to the counter to pay. Overall, it was a very welcoming experience with attentive service and authentic Persian flavors. I'd definitely come back again--especially for that Ash-e Gojeh Farangi soup. read more

We seen this place on TikTok and decided to make the drive and try them out. The food was good ,but they were out of a lot of the things on the entrees but a side note: I think they hadn't received a truck delivery due to an ice storm we just had! The waitress said they are in the process of making a new menu and removing things they don't sell much of which makes sense but at some point it would have made more sense to say what they did have versus us pointing and saying sorry we don't have that! I'm giving them 4 stars mostly due to the wait time and they seemed unprepared. read more

First time at Master Kabob. We wanted to see if it lived up to the Yelp reviews. Easy parking and in a nice area by the college. The place is huge, plenty of seating and nicely decorated. We were greeted warmly and seated. The staff were very friendly, talked us through the menu and were. Rey attentive. The food... Amazing. Every single item Prepared to perfection. Massive servings and all presented really well. I don't think I've had better in DFW. All in all one of the best meals we have had. This place has to be on any real foodie's bucket list! read more

When I first saw the song room area, I was surprised to see that there wasn't any people. But as the food came, my attention went somewhere else. It's the people, the server, the smiles, the humor, the love. I'll be honest, I was touched by the owners generosity of service. I was told that this place recently opened, and that it's a family owned restaurant. I want to say, I hope for the best to the owners of this fine establishment. I hope if you read this, you too would consider patronizing here. I wish you guys success. read more

Food and service here were great! Loved the hummus appetizer (had good flavor though not lemony like you get at Mediterranean places). The pita bread had a soft, light, texture. The complementary soup had lentils and other stuff in it. It was very tasty! Our entrees were excellent! Generous portions! We drove 52 miles from Rockwall to check out this place on Christmas Day. I was glad they were open and it was worth the trip. Would definitely recommend this restaurant- especially if you live in close proximity. Very kind and considerate service. read more

Master Kabob - Beautiful brocaded tablecloth. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Arlington, Texas

A friend shared a video of an influencer visiting this new family owned restaurant, and the story behind it was so touching that a group of us decided to make the 45 minute drive to Arlington and show our support. I'm being generous with my rating since they are a new business, but here are my honest thoughts on our visit. We arrived right at opening on a Saturday morning. There were a handful of customers, but not busy. The space itself is bright and welcoming, and I really loved the ornate thick tablecloths on every table. We were seated quickly and handed menus, but the menus don't contain descriptions. Google was our friend here. Since our full group hadn't arrived, we ordered hummus and an eggplant dip to start. The hummus is not the typical Greek style, no lemony tang but it was good. The eggplant dip was also good. Once everyone arrived, we started ordering. Or we tried to at least. I asked for the Kornish plate, they were out. So I asked for the salmon plate, they were out. I asked for a kebab special, they were out. After hearing, "we're out" four or five times, especially right after opening, it became frustrating. With a relatively small menu having half the options unavailable makes it difficult to choose anything. I was so frustrated. I just asked the server to tell us what was available. Our options were essentially a gyro plate, a lamb shank, a gyro sandwich, and a couple of kebab platters. We managed to pick something, but at that point I was already hesitant to order, especially with the service feeling a bit chaotic. For example, appetizers came out but without pita, and while they eventually brought it, it took several reminders. The pita itself is different than typical Mediterranean pita, it's lighter flatter and airier. Meanwhile, the server was busy, busing tables, taking orders and doing a bit of everything except completing tasks in the right order. When the food arrived, it was a mixed experience. The lamb shank and the gyro meat were very good and the rice was solid. However, none of the plates came with the usual condiments, and we had to ask several times for the vinaigrette and tzatziki type sauce. One person in our group even received a cup of tartar sauce on their gyro plate that had clearly been previously used, in that you could see where someone else had dipped into it. Also, who puts tartar sauce with gyro meat? Service is where the biggest improvements are needed. It appears to be an all hands-on deck with young family members helping out, but they clearly haven't worked in restaurants before. A few of them were gathered at the register on their phones and snacking on food from elsewhere, while one server was running around, trying to do everything herself. It was simply too much for one person to manage. Overall, the food was OK, and the portions are plentiful. I'm not sure it was worth a 45 minute drive just yet. They have several issues to work through, like being properly stocked for the weekend, providing standard condiments with the dishes, and training the staff. these are normal growing pains for any new business I suppose. If you're nearby, it may be worth stopping in to see if they've smoothed out the kinks. I'm glad we went and had a chance to try something new and I hope they continue improving. read more

We went because of the Tik tok. The service was ok. The salad dressing (olive oil and vinegar) was disgusting. It's like they used the wrong oil on accident. I got the soup and my husband got the lambchops. He really liked the lamb chops. The soup was ok. The tik tok influencer baked us a cake. The service was ok as well. Nothing to write home about. read more

What a hidden gem and found out from the friendly waitresses that it just opened less than a month ago. When you walk in it feels cozy like you are at a family's home. It has minimal decor but I like that the table cloth is a beautiful colorful shiny cloth. I had hot tea and this delicious tomato base soup with lentils. It warm my insides and perfect for the weather. The flavor was rich and so tasty with every sip. I wanted to try a variety of meats so went with the beef and chicken kabob platter. It was served with a side salad and salt and pepper vinegar dressing to drizzle on top. A side of basmati rice which I added a shake of the sumak on it. You get a big portion enough to feed two or three. :) the kebabs had good favor and the chicken as well. The chicken was so moist in the inside. I ripped a piece of the pita bread and added a thin slice of chicken a couple pieces of the charred onion and tomato spread the garlic sauce and it was perfect. The food was really good and staff was wonderful! read more

We came here after seeing @samspov_1's review. The food was fantastic. We were given a complimentary bowl of warm soup that was very similar to a beef barley, which I love. I got the Mixed Combo (?) plate and my daughter got the Gyro plate. There was more than enough food and the meat was perfectly seasoned and moist. Definitely give this place a try. read more

We have come here multiple times for the family platter, which serves 4 to 5 people and it is an amazing! Everyone that we have brought to this restaurant has loved it and they were coming back.

I have tried almost all of the menu and every item has been fantastic. My favorite is the number three, which is a mixture of ground beef and chicken kebabs and I never am unsatisfied with that. It is completely amazing. The quantity is way more than enough for one person, even two can share. The surface is excellent as well and all the waitresses are well trained on all the menu and everything is made exactly to order. read more

Started off with free complimentary soup which was delicious. Then we each had an entree platter and the servings were huge. The salad portion of the plate is served without dressing, but they have a vinaigrette dressing if you ask for it. Took plenty of food home in a takeout box. Pleasant staff answered our questions. One of the three big screens in the room tracked the music being played, consisting of popular Persian artists. read more

My review posted in Facebook Arlington Foodies... · Master Kabob -6516 New York Ave #132 (across the street from TCC Southeast Campus) My wife and I enjoyed a relaxed lunch today, about 2pm or so There were no other customers in the place at the time. I had been here before when it was a Pho restaurant. When asked, our waitress told us they have been open for about two months. We each ordered a gyro sandwich and split an order of fries. I don't know if it is a regular occurrence, but we were both served a complimentary bowl of the house soup, which is a spicy chicken/rice/vegetable mixture. Tasty and hearty! The shoestring fries were enough for the two of us and came out hot and crispy. Our gyros were delicious and, I remarked, quite large. I got a kabob to go and it hit the spot as well later on. They do have many more items on the menu in the $10-$20 range. The gyros and kabobs were under $10 each. Our server was attentive and friendly. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend that you give this restaurant a try. They do not have a website yet, but you can Google the menu. read more

The food here is amazing! Really inviting space and very friendly staff. Definitely recommend!
