It seems the gyro is better than the plates. I came back for a kofta kabob and it cost me nearly $20. Nothing special, the salad was right the rice was garlicky, and did come with pita bread and a water, but that's kind of expected for $20 at a takeout place. The hummus was a little thin and I definetely tasted the tahini. Was a lot faster this time. But something just didn't convince me it was worth $20. read more

Royal Kabob & Falafel - Food comes with free soda - Falafel Near Me - Davis, California

I've been to Royal Kabob twice now and I will say the portions and price are a good deal. Lots of food for a reasonable price. I like their kabobs mostly, particularly the kofta kabobs. Also tried the Zinger burger which was a fried chicken sandwich. It was decent but I would recommend sticking to the kabobs and platters. The fries I didn't care for. read more

Came here for a quick dinner. Very good food -- we ate vegetarian -- and friendly service. Will come again.

Very mediocre food. We ordered lamb plate with falafel hummus and pita. The fake lamb meat was disgusting, I imagine it was more of dog food grade, cubes of filler and who knows what else! Hummus was made from canned chickpeas and it was awful! The falafel was made from a box mix and it was disgusting too. Nothing authentic here and don't understand how they ate rated even a 4! The guy at the counter was welcoming and friendly though it appeared he was the only person working, cooking and serving which is why everything tasted really overly processed. Not the cleanest place either! read more

We got a lot of food for the family: chicken kabob plate, as well as chicken and lamb platters. Personally, I thought it was tasty, but my family found it too flavorful. Service was a bit slow. I didn't get to see the inside of the place, so can't speak on that. Servings were generous. read more

My sister & I came here last week to pick me up another Chicken Gyro w/o Onions $10.95. I asked the gentleman working to make sure not to put in anything spicy this time. I got home and opened it for dinner. It was packed with chopped chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, Tzatziki sauce and chopped cucumbers. After I took a few bites I started realizing there was still something spicy. The only thing we can figure out is their chicken must be marinated in something spicy, especially since the color of the chicken is actually red. I really want to figure out how I can order these in the future w/o it being spicy. It was pretty yummy, but this time I couldn't even finish it, since it was way to spicy for me. read more

When I got here, there was no kebab at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon So I asked if they had some real meat, and he said yeah, the stuff that was cut up into cubes so I thought it was cubed lamb meat, but it was some kind of cheap Kefta that had a texture like Spam. It was totally flavorless and the rice underneath with some kind of stuff that look like old chow mein noodles or something, that tasted stale and old and over salted The food here just overall seemed really bad to me I love Middle Eastern food, I love Turkish food and Lebanese and Syrian food it's all really good But this place gave a really bad representation of Middle Eastern food read more

This place is SO good and the prices are comparable to Shah's (~13). I frequented Shah's a lot during my undergrad and have to say that Royal Kabob is better in my opinion. The falafel's are so good, the chicken and lamb were delicious too. Ya'll need to just come visit and give them a try. The lettuce salad they include with the platters has cucumbers and tomatoes in it which doesn't seem like it makes a difference but it does to me! Shah's doesn't include stuff like that in their lettuce stuff. Overall, I recommend this place for anyone that loves this type of food. read more

Royal Kabob & Falafel - Falafel, Chicken Platter, and Lamb Platter!!! SO DELISH!!! - Falafel Near Me - Davis, California

Food was good and fairly priced . Staff is also friendly order to go or dine in. Restrooms were clean and stocked up

30 minute wait for food because they were fairly busy...we got the hummus and pita...it came with one really small and very stale pita, but a good sized tub of hummus. The falafels are squishy and moist, so they are unique but not necessarily good. 2 stars because they are new and gave us a good amount of falafels. read more

Royal Kabob & Falafel - Falafel plate - Falafel Near Me - Davis, California

Service was great. Food was average, but with high prices, so 2 stars. Firstly, chicken kabobs usually means chunks of chicken. This is ground chicken with spices salted into flat patties. It is too salty for my taste. Note for parents- there is a chili spice that would be too much for my kid, but the description on menu does not mention it. Plate was filled mostly with rice, meat, a very small portion of hummus, and salad. White generic pita bread served on the side. Hummus was decent but nothing to write home about. read more

Royal Kabob & Falafel - "Chicken kabob" plate w rice, salad, hummus and pita - Falafel Near Me - Davis, California

Royal Kabob and Falafel takes over Casablanca. The interior looks very similar to that of its predecessors. It's a small location with just a few tables inside. It also joins other Falafel/Kebab places in town like Falafel Corner (with similar offerings), Sam's, Shah's and Nick's. The grilled chicken platter we ordered was very delicious. It reminds me of the platter I would get from Halal Guys but the serving size was much more plentiful (and in a rectangular dish for to-go). Rice and Chicken was also very moist. Mixed with the "white sauce", the dish was packed with flavor. The chicken, while looked red in color was not spicy. We also enjoyed a side of fries (not pictured) was a very good. We also ordered the Baklava which was very delicious as well. It wasn't too sweet and that's how we like it. Visited on a Saturday at 12:30 and they were quite busy. Although I phoned in my order I still had to wait a few minutes. They were quite apologetic and offered me a free beverage (Pepsi products and bottled water). Seems they are on the popular ordering platforms (same price) - but I opted to phone in to avoid the fees those platforms charge the restauranteur. I will be returning again! read more

The food here as always been great and service is always quick and friendly! If you're in the area this is a must try!

Great place with great service. We went right as they opened today 1/18 and the two gentlemen who helped us were friendly. Picture doesn't show how big the portions are, but I would say if you're a light eater it's 2 meals easily or a very large meal. The Kofta was moist and well seasoned. The chicken was tender and delicious. The falafel was freshly made and immaculate. Their sauces are flavorful and their spicy sauce is akin to the spice level of siriacha/tabasco so don't worry about it burning your mouth off. The olives they added to the meat platter are out of this world and recommended if you like green olives or capers. They add the perfect amount of acid. read more

Royal Kabob & Falafel - Falafel Near Me - Davis, California

Service was great. We decided you rest outside and server brought our food out. The felafel gyro was tasty and generous in size. My dining companions chicken was quite tasty. He said that the Sriracha sauce is seriously spicy, so be warned. The Afghan Salad was meh. Lots of cabbage and lettuce but light on tomatoes and cucumber - which I was hoping for. We left most of the salad. Inside and outside seating was adequate but nothing to brag about. read more

HAVE AGAIN: 4 stars for the lamb gyro (the lamb was in chunks, but good). The 5 stars for the staff and service. Thank you.

This food bomb af. We got the Mix Kabob Plate and it comes with one pita, two kabobs, rice, and salad. I really like how it wasn't super salty like Halal Guys. It has the perfect amount of seasoning. The service was also very prompt and friendly. We live less than a minute away it was meant to be read more

Royal Kabob & Falafel - Dining room - Falafel Near Me - Davis, California

This establishment has now been open for 4 weeks, and in that time I visited twice. I have really enjoyed Everything I have ordered there and there is still much I want to try. I had a medium spicy chicken gyro, a "spicy" Falafel gyro and a Lamb dinner platter. I wished I would have taken a picture as they were all beautifully prepared as well as scrumptious. The "spicy" was just right, not painfully spicy, and the components of these dishes were all well marinated and delicious. All in all 10+/10 for food and I would give it 6 stars if I could. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the restaurant is clean and well lit. So far I have gotten a free can of soda with each of my orders. It is a "hole in the wall" in the Savemart shopping plaza on Covell next to Ding How. Limited seating mostly outdoors but easy takeout and plenty of Parking. Give them a try and I am sure you will enjoy it. read more

Interesting dishes . Have not tried before. Restaurant staff/owner is very friendly .

Great food and best baklava you'll find. Free drink with meal! I hope this one stays open. There's only one other place at this mall at which I'll eat read more

Came here by chance from looking at yelp and saw it had very few reviews ALL positive and glad we did. Small shop family owned&ran from it looked like. Quality of the food was awesome, gentlemen working at the front were extremely polite and patient, and we hope to stop by every time we come up to Davis. read more

Don't bother to place an order ahead for pick up! Because it won't be ready! And even when you show up and confirm your order that you placed 25 minutes ago after being told it would take 20 minutes, be prepared to wait another 20 minutes! Poor time management here read more

Beautiful place with the beautiful menu I really enjoy that that was great experience If you live in Davis or close to Davis you should try i I bet you will be like it read more

Ordered the mixed platter, You get half the portion size of Shah's for the same price Do yourself a favor and go to Shah's or halal guys instead read more

I ordered the Mixed Grilled Platter. Food was fresh, portion size is pretty decent. Both chicken and lamb were seasoned nicely. I recommend! read more

5/5 for food and 10/10 for service! So happy to have Royal Kabob in Davis. They gave us a drink with our meals. Probably will skip the chicken Kabob as a Perosnal preference, my kids wanted chicken on a stick but we could eat the gyros all day. They said the falafels were gluten free and they looked good! read more

heavy on the rice but amazing flavor and well cooked meat! service was quick and friendly but there was limited seating inside

Their gyros and falafel's are AMAZING!!! Definitely recommend this place. This place is confusing, because it's the same food as the last place that sucked, but under new ownership and a new name, this place tastes great! read more

Came hungry, left full. Kiddo had the cheeseburger, I had the zinger burger, wife had the chicken gyro. The meat was very flavorful and the portions were large. The fries had a great seasoning. The guys behind the counter were friendly. Good spot for lunch in the future. read more

One of the best food I've had in davis. Love this place and will continue to support small business. The chicken platter was simply delicious the flaffels were so bomb. Can't wait to come back for round 2. read more

I want to preface this review with saying that I was expecting this restaurant to be yet another Mediterranean restaurant that would blur into the rest and be the standard. However, I am extremely pleased to say that the food and service exceeded my expectations. My girlfriend and I purchased two plates and a side of hummus with pita bread, and let me tell you, this hummus was one of the best I've ever had. Its creamy fluffy texture mixed with the delicious chickpea blend was immaculate. By far the most superior I've had in Davis. Onto the platters, I ordered the kofta kebob and my girlfriend the chicken platter. Both were absolutely packed full. As shown in the pictures, both plates are dressed generously with sauce and fresh vegetables topped on a bed of well seasoned rice. The food honestly speaks for itself, it tastes just as good as it looks. read more

Got takeout tonight. I got the combo platter. Good servings and tasty rice and meat. Also got a gyro and some falafel! Was really good. Friendly fast service. read more

I ordered through delivery service. This seems to be a new halal option in Dayvus. The portions were huge for the combo platter and overall the food was filling. I thought it was a good deal since it's enough for two meals. Nothing to write home about, tasted like any other gyro place, but that necessarily isn't a bad thing. If they want to be successful though they need something special and level up. read more

Great service and tasty food. I ordered the mix grilled platter and got a decently sized portion of filling and hearty food.

A little pricey, but good food and large portions. Free drinks as well. A great establishment :)

Overpriced and underwhelming food. To call these kabobs is a CRIME. They serve chicken patties with a buttload of random seasonings and call it kabob. The kabob is not at all what it looks like on the menu. If you want real, authentic middle eastern food, stay away from this place. The dude at the front is slow and honestly seemed intoxicated. I had to repeat my order more than three times for him to get it. read more
