Visit 11/05/2025: SUMAC CHIPOTLE - THE ORANGE SAUCE.
Jeff R.

We've done take out a couple of times, so I do like their food, but today was the first time I ate at site having a dinner date with my mom =). It is a small place with seating for about 15-20. You have an option of ordering at a kiosk or with the cashier. There was no line so the young man greeted us and after a few minutes of perusing the menu on my mom's behalf, we ordered. He was very friendly, clarifying a couple of questions we did have. It is fast-casual dining. Place your order and find a seat. If you're dining in, they do bring the food to you. My mom ordered the chicken kabob plate rice. Comes with rice, pita, and a side (she chose a salad). A grilled tomato was added. The portions are very generous. The side salad itself could be a meal if you add a protein to it. She liked the seasoning of the chicken and the fluffiness of the rice. I was drawn to a burger today and opted for the Shah Burger, a cheeseburger topped with gyro meat and the fixin's. The juiciness of the burger paired well with the thin slices of gyro. The only downfall was the bun could not hold up and things fell apart about halfway through. So there I was eating a burger with a fork and knife. The fries were crisp and super hot, seasoned with salt and paprika. They do "gyro fries" so I'm thinking next visit. A standout addition is their sauces which are self-serve. There is Garlic, Tzatziki, Mango Chili, and my super favorite is the the Sumac Chipotle. Great dipping with the fries or any protein. So good, you could dip your pet goldfish in it...just kidding...wanted to see if you made it this far. Come to the Kabob Shack!

This place makes some terrific food. I had the Gryro Pita Sandwich with fries for lunch for only $10.50. The gyro sandwich came generously filled with tender and tasty gyro meat. The pita bread was well toasted on the hot griddle and the sandwich came with a delicious tzatziki sauce. The sauce is made in house. It also came with fresh lettuce and red onions. The French fries came well fried to a crisp texture and were very well seasoned with house zesty seasoning. Very good fries. The service was very good. The gents working the counter was not only very friendly but very efficient and helpful. They offer a good amount of inside seating and a few tables outside. They offer good combo specials.

Yummy, hit the spot big time!

Food was AMAZING! Ordered the grilled steak pita sandwich, chicken tandoori, Moussa's famous chicken rice plate and some sides. Highly recommend trying this place. They have great BOGO specials and the food is so tasty! If you like the Kebab shop, you'll be in heaven as this place had a larger variety of food, as good or better and the chicken and steak is so tender and juicy.

Gyro Value meal
Alexandra S.

Tried this tiny spot on Eastlake because I was hungry with my family. It was small but cute . I took my food to go. Service was ok, staff were friendly. I got a gyro value meal with fries. I would like to say I am someone who doesn't mind a bit of salt in my food, but this value meal had quite a bit. I may just stick with a salad next time.

Rice plate with MOUSSA'S CHICKEN and grilled veggies
Joanna C.

Definitely recommend Kabob Shack in Eastlake. Tried it for the first time when I was craving a gyro sandwich, also got the chicken rice plate and it was very filling. Sauces are really good. Service was great, staff was very friendly and welcoming. Check em out.

CALIFORNIA KABOB WRAP and SIDE OF FRENCH FRIES
Allison C.

Met my friend here for lunch. I did the gyro pita wrap and my friend did the chicken plate. Both were so good and portioned well. Located in a strip plaza with private parking lot. Self serve soda fountain. Also, self serve sauces which I like cos I'm a saucy girl. Friendly customer service.

My Overall Grade: B+ This is a good place for scratching that itch for a Mediterranean dish; I wouldn't mind returning to try more of the items on their menu. For another mediterranean spot that I think you should also try see the end of this review. I ordered 3 items To-Go: a rice plate, gyro wrap, and Shah burger. Each plate looked tasty, was flavorful and hit the spot. I did not get to try the burger but I was told it was pretty good. The chicken plate with rice and side salad was for another relative and they thought the seasoning on the chicken was a little salty but that's based on her taste. The gyro wrap that I ate was yummy and very filling, but this one was a tad salty, so I wouldn't order it for someone with hypertension. There is a self-serve sauce station by the front door with 4 different sauces (the most important being tzaziki sauce) which you can take home in tiny, plastic containers. -END- As an alternative you can also try a place called Shawarma Guys, which I would give an overall grade: "A". I love Mediterranean food; I wish I could try them all!

California Kabob Wrap, they forgot the French fries and guac that was supposed to come with it.
Shaina W.

Food was ok but they forgot a lot of items in my order. I ordered the California gyro wrap and there were no French fries or guac that was supposed to come with it. We also ordered the chicken kabob plate, and they only put two chicken kabobs and forgot the sauce that was supposed to come with it. I tried calling but no answer.. Definitely won't be back.

Chicken and Meat
Jacqueline A.

Wow just Wow. My job got us this for lunch the other day and let's just say we didn't leave a single grain of rice

Good to the neighborhood!
Thomas D.

Pure edible AWESOMENESS! The skewer chicken is juicy and their fries are delicious and generously proportioned! The gyro burger is well worthy of the visit! Speedy service, a knowledgeable staff and a shop that's always ready to impress and improve!

Gyro
Rebecca D.

Service was great. Employee was patient and courteous. The ambience was ok. Food was fresh and flavorful.

Edit: they are currently resolving the issue with the kiosk company. Meanwhile they have put up a sign to use the kiosk for dine in only as the prices are correct for dinning in! Other wise, the customer service is perfect and so are their food! PSA DONT ORDER AT THEIR KIOSK Some items are priced $2-$3 more than what's posted on their menu. I didn't realized till later on. Maybe it was a typo but it was definitely weird and sketchy Order with the person or online

GYRO SHAH FRIES and gyro RICE PLATES
Jenelle s.

Came here after a workout after hearing great things from friends. We ordered the Beef Shah Fries and the Gyro Rice plate with a side of rice. It came out quickly and was delicious. The rice was buttery and soft, the meat was tender and the sauces were flavorful. We asked for more white sauce since the dispenser was out and the cashier handed up a full cup! My only note would be to have the gyro cut into bite size pieces since they were quite large. The resultant itself is a bit small but there's enough seats if you wanted to dine in! Would come back again!!

The Saladin Platter and Soltani Platter fed all 3 of us with food leftover for another 2 people. We had the following cocktails: Red Sea Ritual which was great. The Riad which was our vote for best drink! And the Joon which sadly was too salty (brine) for our liking. Also shared the Date Night cocktail which we didn't realize was a dessert cocktail but awesome if you love dates (the fruit). Haha We are already planning our return. We sat upstairs which felt like we were in an Arab Bedouin tent with a spectacular view of the "village" below and the upstairs bar looked spectacular! Next time we'd like to sit downstairs in the "souk" atmosphere! Shukran Leila Team!

We managed it by having part of our group jump out to get in line while we waited for a spot, a strategy that worked perfectly since we were seated within just a few minutes of walking in. The restaurant itself is beautiful, featuring clean white marble and modern lighting. It has a high-energy, "efficient ship" vibe. The staff is everywhere, and you'll hear a "symphony" of shouted orders and instructions that makes the whole place feel alive and incredibly productive. Seeing the constant stream of people picking up to-go orders was our first clue that the food was going to be excellent. The Food We ordered for a party of seven and found the portions to be very generous: The Platter for 3: This was the perfect way to sample five different types of kebabs. Every meat was seasoned beautifully and cooked to perfection. This came with a salad. The Qouzi: This was the standout for me. It's a unique dish with a wonderful blend of textures, the crunch of fried almonds on top paired with massive chunks of stewed lamb. The lamb was so incredibly tender I could literally cut it with a spoon! To top it all off, they offer free Arabic tea, which was the perfect finishing touch to a heavy, savory meal. Final Verdict It's rare to find a place that is this busy yet runs with such precision. Great food, beautiful ambiance, and a lively atmosphere. My family and I will definitely be back!

For savories, I had the spinach and cheese bajeen, baba gannouj, and the lamb fatteh - all had a lot of flavor and tasted homemade. I love trying new foods so will have to come back with more friends and try other things on the menu. The downside of this place was being seated on the right side of the restaurant near the carry out section. This was the pit of despair. I noticed that most of the staff goes to the other end first, and as a result 4 tables got seated after us and all of them had food on their table before we managed to flag one of the staff. It was definitely busy in there but he replied that he was simply going in order, but apparently order or left side to right side instead of arrival. I recommend trying to get seated on the side w the stained glass windows for better service. Other than that, the experience overall was pleasant.

They definitely invest their time on the taste of their food and serving large portion sizes instead of fancy tables and decor. It's not upscale fine dining... the interioir looks the exact same for past decade. Although a little dated the place is very clean and fits large or small groups. Not a date night spot -- more a friends and family stuff your face kind of place. They have a dedicated parking lot with plenty of spots. We ordered a ton of food to share. Half roasted chicken with side of fatoush salad, beef kabob plate with side of rice, lamb tikka with side of fries, a large plate of hummus, and an order of falafel (Best Falafel in SoCal). EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! I personally didn't like the lamb tikka but everyone else destroyed that plate.
