Kabob House - Combo kabob. Chicken and beef shami

We were traveling through Boise, spending the night and decided to have some ethnic food. A Yelp…read moresearch showed Kabob House to have great ratings, so we decided to stop by. There is plenty of parking space in front and we were able to find several items from their extensive menu of Afghan and Persian food and ordered a few for us. All of the appetizers and entrees we ordered were delicious. The desserts were oh so sweet and tasted great with the tea they served. The good atmosphere, great food and fantastic customer service make this a place I would want to go back to again. Very highly recommended!

Went here last night with a friend and honestly? One of those nights that reminds you why going out…read moreto eat is supposed to be fun. We were greeted immediately by the owner, who shook our hands, introduced himself, and instantly made us feel welcome. Like... genuinely welcome, not "hi table for two" welcome. When we were shown to our table, I noticed the raised platform where you can sit on the floor and was like, oh absolutely yes. We asked if we could sit there and suddenly we had this whole cozy room to ourselves. He even drew the curtain so it felt private and special -- chef's kiss. The food was incredible. The chicken marsala was out-of-this-world good, the naan was warm and delicious, and the kebabs were fresh with perfectly seasoned, tender meat. Everything tasted thoughtful and made with care. But the real standout? The service. Hands down. The owner kept checking in on us, making sure we were good, asking if we needed anything, joking with us -- just the right balance of attentive and chill. By the end of the night, he even shared a bit of his story and talked about where he lived in Afghanistan, which made the whole experience feel even more meaningful. We laughed, we lingered, we had the best time. If you're looking for something a little different, a little special, with incredible food and even better hospitality -- this is it. Go hungry, go curious, and don't skip the floor seating if you get the chance.

Old Bosnians stacked at the bar top discussing the world. A true cultural social center. The place is clean and spacious with posters indicating that there is entertainment at night. The Reuben was very good. Not salty, plenty of thin sliced meat. Not quite a Reuben as there was no sauerkraut, no Thousand Island dressing or rye bread. More a delicious panini. The attention to detail and courteous owner shows through every action. I GOT AN AMERICAN FLAG ON MY SANDWICH. Bravo!!!!

What a special little gem of a place. Small grocery store up front and a huge restaurant hidden behind. There is a wine shop, bar, and grill in the large space. No matter what sandwich you order (panini house sandwich is my fave so far), you will be delighted. I always get Idaho gold with my sandwich too (fries). If it is a bit busier, please have patience and enjoy relaxing. Every time I pop in it is just the owner running it. He is absolutely amazing and will serve you with a smile and his fun energy. You can order to-go as well if your time is extra crunched. Stop, stop. stop driving by!! I was blown away by the treasure that's within. I hope you are too!

I had ordered lentil soup with Kubbah and it came out very quickly. The dishes are well seasoned and tasty. Would recommend the place to anyone looking to try something new or get a taste from home.

I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant given all the highly positive reviews. To…read morebe clear - this is for the restaurant, not the market. Service - 1 star. After being the only two sitting in the restaurant for 10 minutes, someone brought us menus. Another 10 later, they came back for our order. It was a tad frustrating because an item I wanted to order had a well-worn sticker blocking it out. Placed our food and drink order. Several minutes later, someone different came from the back and said one of the two items was also not available. So another item was chosen. Drinks were not delivered (tea and a water) until the food came 20 minutes later. And the water was a tiny 8-ounce bottle of water. 1.5 hours and we were the only diners. That says something. Food - Of what we could order, the chicken tikka was good but not amazing. 4 stars. The lamb kabob was amazingly bland and tough. So disappointing as I typically love lamb. 2 stars. The hummus was thin and tasted too sour with no flavor dimension to it. Was it old? Better hummus has a slight nutty flavor to it and this needed more garlic. 3 stars. Rice actually had decent flavor. 4 stars. We had both the pistachio and walnut baklava. As a baklava connoisseur, the walnut was far better flavor and texture but both seemed dry and old. Bread was okay. When I look at the number or reviews from those in CA or OR with less than 5 reviews on their account (all giving 5 stars) - it seems clear that people want free baklava or hot tea, as they advertise at the table when you sit down. But they need to read your review first before getting the token item. I have better ethics and higher standards than that. Maybe the restaurant section is on the slide. For a $20 entree, not worth it. There is better in Boise.

No greeting and sort of seemed like they didnt want to be there. Not rude though. Food is delicious. Falafel were flavorful, crispy, but not dry. The hummus was almost smooth. The pita had a little stale texture. It's pretty pricy, but we'd come back if we were craving it. Oh yeah, the market is great too.

It comes with four falafel and two samosas, hummus, and a salad. I didnt get any samosas just six falafels. If they had told me they were out I'd have ordered something else. The hummus had no flavor, the garlic sauce had no flavor, the salad was tasteless. I had to add salt because they only put an oil on it. I wasn't satisfied with the food. I don't think the falafel was even homemade. They looked and tasted frozen. I was very disappointed in the meal. It looks pretty, but had no flavor. Also, parking. There is absolutely no parking. The surrounding businesses wont let you park in their connected lot. You will get towed. Parking in their lot, you pull in and there isn't a back road, you have to put your vehicle in reverse to get out. Can he dangerous if you park all the way in.

Alright, let's talk about why this isn't a full five stars- because when it comes to flavor, Mazzah…read moreMediterranean Grill is easily one of the best Mediterranean spots in Boise, hands down. A friend of mine practically lives here- every other day, like clockwork- and the last time I joined, he ordered a full mezze-style spread that felt straight out of the Mediterranean coast: impossibly creamy hummus, cool and garlicky tzatziki, perfectly seasoned kebabs, fresh veggies, warm pita... dish after dish, each one better than the last. This is a casual, no-frills kind of place- so don't come expecting anything overly polished or upscale. The missing star from others? It's purely about the ambiance. But the food? That's a full five. What really shines is the quality, the authenticity, and the consistency. Everything tastes fresh, vibrant, and nourishing- the kind of meal that feels both indulgent and genuinely good for you. Add in friendly, welcoming service, and it's easy to see why people keep coming back.

Without really thinking about it, if someone asked me to quickly name my top 5 favorite restaurants…read morein the Treasure Valley, I'm fairly certain I'd name this place right away, even with it being a chain. I've eaten in twice, though majority of my experiences have been through DoorDash. We order at least once a month from here and let me just say they have THE BEST quality control for a restaurant. The portion of food they give you is always the same and it tastes incredible. Our go-to order is the gyro shawarma with fries, the chicken shawarma with Greek rice, a side of the gyro Greek fries, and the slice of chocolate pistachio cake. The meat is always well cooked with a healthy fixing of veggies. They even have the option to put no dairy which is great for my lactose intolerant husband. The crinkle cut fries are well crisped, perfectly salted, and a good amount of gyro meat mixed in. I would definitely recommend dining in here as well. They've got a vibrant decor and the staff are very friendly. A great casual restaurant in the valley!
