I saw Al Awael on Yelp and the food looked so good. I wanted to check this place out. My party came…read moreto Al Awael later in the evening, after the Iftar rush. As a result, the restaurant was not crowded, but they were out of several menu items. The restaurant is spacious and very color coordinated. The armrests on the chairs are at a slightly odd height for me but very aesthetic. This restaurant is family-run by a father and son duo. The father was cooking while his son was on the front end of things. The service was super friendly and I really appreciated that he explained the menu thoroughly to us. They were out of beef kabob and chicken shawarma (my go-to). I opted for the liver plate with fries, and also tried a bite of beef shawarma. We were also served a complimentary lentil soup as an appetizer. The soup was DELICIOUS. Soft and warm and comforting, with vermicelli bits in it. It was incredibly flavorful and soothing, something I would crave on cold days, sick days, any days really. I will definitely be finding recipes and attempting to make this myself. Middle Eastern places always have the most delicious, freshly fried fries, 10/10 no notes especially with ketchup (sue me, I'm basic XD). My grilled liver hit the spot. I think my one critique would be that because the pieces were quite large, some parts were quite tough. The roast onions and tomatoes had a good smoky char, and the portions were generous. After I polished off my first cube, the son swung by and set a grilled jalapeño down in front of me, saying that his father recommended parting it with the liver. It's personal touches like this that make me really love a local, family owned place! And his father was definitely right about the jalapeño. That and the pickled cabbage were the perfect complement for the rich, earthy liver. Prices were fair and portions were huge. The service was standout here as well. I would LOVE to come back and try their lamb dishes, and I definitely anticipate updating to a 5 star review then.

The kabsa was rich in authentic spices, the portions were generous, and every dish we tried was satisfying. The owner is always welcoming, attentive, and generous. The food is always clean.

If you're looking for authentic Middle Eastern food especially from Saudi Arabia in San Diego, I highly recommend Kabsa. We'll definitely be ordering from it!

Although they offer breakfast sandwiches and burritos, I instead had a bowl of tortilla soup, a small spinach pie, and a curry potato potato pie. The tortilla soup came generously filled with tender chicken and had a good flavor. The soup was of the thicker variety. I would recommend they use a thicker corn tortilla chip, so that it would hold up in the soup better and keep its crunchiness. Both pies were savory and tasty. The spinach pie came with a melee of sauteed spinach and onions. They added fete cheese to the pie as well. The curry and potato pie was great. The curry flavor was very good and the potato was soft with small potato morsels that still offered a tender bite. These little pies came with a soft, bready, and mild crust. The gents working at the cafe when I visited were super nice and welcoming. They offer a good amount of inside seating. They serve the Allied Plaza Building and visitors from the surrounding community. They are also a full espresso bar offering espresso based beverages. There's plenty of visitor parking.

The menu lets you choose each protein as a pita, sandwich, or plate, which made it easy for everyone to find something they wanted. It is on the pricier side, but that's fairly typical for kosher restaurants. The schnitzel was crispy, flavorful, and delicious. The minute steak was packed with flavor and paired perfectly with the grilled onions and peppers. The portions were generous, and all of the sides we tried were excellent. The hummus and fresh pita were also standouts and the perfect way to start the meal. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and were so happy to find a restaurant that everyone--especially my uncles--could enjoy. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in San Diego.

It was really busy inside on a Sunday afternoon, but just went to get a pick-up order we placed about thirty minutes prior. Showed up a few minutes before the pickup time and it was ready-- but the pita was so soggy after taking it on a 5 minute drive home. The shawarma flavor was interesting & got better as we bit into it further to get to the sauces inside, but the soggy pita made it hard to thoroughly enjoy. I had asked for sauces on the side and they gave a bunch of the tahini sauce, which was meh. And some honey mustard sauce which was also meh. Perhaps they had made the order significantly before the reported pick-up time, which I can understand, but just an overall mid experience.
