We were headed west on I-90 and wanted something different and tasty and we found it close to exit 38. The place was bright and clean and the air was full of enticing spices. We had the Chicken Lavash and the Combo Shawarma Platter, which I think was the better choice; the beef was cooked well and there were some crispy pieces in the chicken, the rice was perfect and the sauces flavorful. The service was attentive and prompt. They have a separate juice bar that we plan on trying on a future visit. read more

Love this place! I often get the beef shawarma wrap, but went with the half bbq chicken (another frequent order). You get PLENTY of food, and it has a lot of good grilled flavor. The chicken is cooked well, and the sauces are delicious (the green sauce has a lot of heat, heads up). Just an FYI that there is a ton of rice, like almost too much. I did takeout and the staff was kind as always. They've been a bit short-staffed recently so sometimes it does take a bit to get your order, but this time around it wasn't too busy and the food was ready within 15 minutes. These guys are definitely worth a try! read more

The food here was so good. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and it came with fries for just 13 dollars. The garlic sauce and special fry sauce were so good. The service is pristine. They made sure to throw away all trash and cater to what I needed. The ambiance is amazing and the decor is so lovely. Really great place will be coming back soon. Ahmed and Rakan were such great genuine nice people. Big thanks to them read more

This has quickly become my favorite place for smoothies. They are LOADED, HUGE, and a price that can't be beat in the area. Although the price might initially turn you away, you get a lot for what you pay for! And the staff is always willing to adjust anything needed to fit your preferences. read more

The Kabob House - Look at these HUGE smoothies! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Salina, New York

Went to lunch here yesterday. I love Mediterranean food but have a hard time choosing what to order. We were greeted promptly and given menus. My friends ordered a chicken wrap with chutney and fries. I wanted to try a lot of different things so I went with the kabob grill for one. The waitress was very friendly but the wait for our lunch was rather long. It was 30 minutes for our food and only 1 other couple was in the place and I didn't see many to go orders. When the food did come out (mine 10 minutes before my friends) so they technically waited 40 minutes it was delicious. I had enough to take home half of the platter for my husbands dinner.The only other knock was the music was loud and irritating. I would come back but probably get take out. read more

I've been here and enjoyed the food very much but after seeing all the pictures of smoothies I know I had to come back soon. The smoothies are $12 but so worth it! There is so much fruit in this drink, and all the fruit looked beautiful. You also get a mini fruit salad on top After eating the fruit on top I couldn't even finish the drink so I put it in the fridge and it kept perfectly fresh overnight. read more

A friend and I stopped in after driving by the Kabob House for months. It was quiet but clean. We started with hummus which was impeccable, I would eat it with a spoon every day. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter while my friend got the chicken shawarma wrap. They were good but sweeter seasoning than I had imagined. The portion size was enough for leftovers! Next time we'll try their smoothies as well! read more

Disappointed. Shwarma beef platter had little seasoning. Did not like the pink sauce drizzled on top. Falafel was bland. Portion was huge and delivery was early. I will stick to King David but they don't deliver near me. read more

I have yet to try the sit down experience and dine in here. However, after a great experience getting some smoothies to go it is definitely on my list. I thought the smoothies were decently priced for the portion you get. The man making my smoothies made sure to check in with me and have me taste everything as he made it so it was to my liking. The fruit was fresh, the service was pleasant. I enjoyed the music playing and the little disco light above the smoothie station. The restaurant seemed a bit small with only a few tables and booths but was nicely decorated and clean. I will definitely be back. read more

Had the Vegetarian Feast for lunch. The hummus was flavorless, the baba ghanouj was ice cold and lacked flavor, the tahini sauce had no flavor, the falafels and pita were good (I like them baked though), the salad was just okay. It had a California olive in it. | Service was terrible. | The server was more interested in speaking with the manager, holding my lunch and not bringing it to me. Never once checked up on me. Guess I should have had a kabob. I have been here before, nothing really stood out, so maybe it was just an off day. read more

Delicious hummus, soft and warm pita bread, fragrant grape leaves, huge gyros, tasty wraps and delightful smoothies. It was a Saturday night and they were busy.

Amazing vibe to this place with a very friendly staff. I went in overly hungry and ordered a bit much. I got the grilled combo, hummus, and a strawberry lemon fruit drink from their new fruit bar. Everything tasted great and service was good. The only reason it's 4 instead of 5 stars is they didn't do a good job of cleaning off tables after guests so people would come in and clean it themselves to be able to sit down. Other than that, totally a great place for food. read more

The Kabob House - Best dish I had half chicken half Beef Shawarma Platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Salina, New York

This place has come along way since its humble and somewhat rocky openings. I don't think the original owners were prepared to get as swamped as they did on their soft opening. Things were rocky, but just like everyone's favorite superhero action movie it had a great bounce back. Original the restaurant was had a lot more tables and chairs for seating, which now has been reduced and a lot more accommodating. Lovely middle eastern decor adorn the walls, and immediately since I last came in they've completely redone the entrance with a delicious juice bar! Finally to the best parts, the amazing and tantalizing selection of food. They have some of my favorite Arabic and Mediterranean dishes here. Everything from the super delicious and very well spiced Fallafel, to the fantastic Kufta, and even more so my top favorite, their chicken Shawerma. I've also tried their Kibbeh, and their beef Arrayes, and all of them are fantastic. Everything here has the perfect amount of spices and aromatic herbs in every bite, the perfect balance of flavorful but not overpowering. The Kibbeh has the perfect balance of flavors and spice in a lightly almost corn bread like breading, it's somewhat hard to describe but it is delicious. The Beef arrayes are fantastic, served piping hot with a somewhat crunchy flaky exterior filled with steamy hot and juice spiced beef. It is my new favorite appetizer, served on a plate garnished with house made pickled vegetables, which are also to die for. Lastly my thoughts and comments on the Shawerma platters. I can't stop eating these once I dig in they're so good. A nice crunchy fresh shredded lettuce and tomato salad sit beside a bed of the most heavenly yellow rice cooked to perfection. And the meat of choice is always fall apart tender juicy and covered in the best of spices and a decadent and savory white sauce. All in all I cannot recommend this place enough, it definitely scratches my middle eastern itch very well! I'm so glad this place moved in and was able to stick. It is a very nice addition cuisine wise to the town of Liverpool. And the staff, I can't believe I almost forgot, they're always very cordial and nice. read more

The Kabob House is a really nice experience. They did a really nice job with the renovations and transition from its previous form. We really enjoyed our food, everything was well made, perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned. We got the falafels as our appetizers and shared a tahini salad. We always fear dry falafels and fear not, they were delicious! The tahini salad was a standout in taste and freshness, highly recommend! Our mains were the lamb kabobs and lamb gyro platter. Lamb was perfection. Choose your favorite sauce to your personal liking. We were impressed and happy with the veggies, really a shredded salad, which was very fresh with a nice light dressing. The pita that came with the kabobs was phenomenal and I wish it came with more. I loved the rice and they gave you a ton of it which my taste buds were grateful for! We are excited to go back and try more in the future and recommend you give it a try. Enjoy! read more

My husband and I waited patiently for this place to open as we live down the street and passed by it all the time! When we finally saw the open signs out front, we made plans to order! We waited a week or so for the new business to work out their kinks and then ordered on a busy Friday night! Let me first say, this restaurant is on the corner of a very congested area of Liverpool, and traffic is nuts! There is limited parking, but luckily I found a spot in front and ran right in to grab my takeout. I was greeted by the staff and they had our meals all packaged and ready to go! My eyes were instantly drawn to the dessert case on my way out, so I'll definitely need to grab something from there next time! The food was pretty standard Greek food. The hummus was smooth and the warm pita complimented it well. I got the chicken schwarma bowl and my husband had the regular gyro bowl. The sauces that they put on them added a nice flavor! Overall, everything was very good and hopefully they do well there! read more

YUM. Kabob House...you have my heart. Stopped here for a work lunch on our way back to Albany and everything was so flavorful. The service was great and very friendly. The waiter kindly put up with our many extra sauce requests. I am a falafel snob and theirs is delicious, with the perfect crunch on the outside and a yummy tahini sauce to complement it. The mixed grill platter was so good. The sauces made it, but even just the rice on its own was perfectly cooked and the meat was full of flavor. The side salad was probably not super healthy with the dressing but I could've eaten a whole bowl of it. Then I couldn't resist getting some baklava to go. Yum, yum, yum. I will be back! read more

So my eldest son, his wife, and grandkids stopped over for a visit. They wanted to order out lunch! Damn it. I just had a big tuna sammy! Well, I did end up tasting some of theirs to formulate a review. The order/pickup process was pretty quick. This was our first time ordering/eating from there. The items ordered to go from The Kabob House in Liverpool were as follows. Hummus Grape leaves Beef Swarma Lamb over rice I did not taste the hummus or the grape leaves. The other diners said that they were good. The grape leaves were fillled with vegetables and rice. She enjoyed them. One reviewer said the hummus needed more spice. Maybe a roasted pepper chopped up in it as well. It was kind of bland. The beef swarma was good. Beef was tasty and tender. A sort of curry or tumeric spice infusion. The lamb was tasty and tender as well. The rice was not as good as Four Guys version of this dish. More flavor there. Also Four Guys gives you more white sauce too. It was a decent dish though. We would prolly order from them again to try other menu items. You gotta Check em Out!! read more

I always knew this place was legit, but just never made it out here until recently. The thing that actually tipped the scales was reading a post by Christian Felix raving about the Kunefah. I don't really follow the food scene at a personal level, but accidentally became a huge fan of his. On the first trip, we were just looking for lunch. We just needed to supplement the leftovers we had at home, so we grabbed a Philly Cheesesteak and tried the Kunefah. In recent years we've learned to trust Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurants with cheesesteaks. They're already in the business of slinging quality, tender, well seasoned meat, so you're already well above the ground floor of frozen boxed philly meat. Here, we got exactly what we signed up for. Not really top tier, but way further from bottom tier with the thinly shaved, tender meat and the wicked soft bread. It ate like a normal sub, but one you'd go out of your way to get. The Kunefah was also the brand new and unique experience we had signed up for. Kind of hard to explain the experience, but imagine a wet but somewhat bready pastry version of baklava. Oh yeah, but there's cheese! And not just a cream cheese filling like in a cheese danish, but real, stretchy, cheesy cheese. Also, this was a great reminder that way more things need to come with rose water. We were passing by a few weeks later and figured we'd go for some full on food this time around. We went right down the center lane and ordered two combo platters. For the first time ever, we didn't order a side of pitas, and then we regretted it when nothing came with them. We also ordered a few side sauces just to see what was what, and seriously regretted not ordering a bucket of the house hot sauce. The white sauce and medi sauce were just normal - something to moisten up those platters any way we can. The hot sauce we tried to use sparingly because it took the whole platter by the reigns with just a small dab. I'm not kidding, I think I'd order at least four just for my next platter. It's reasonably spicy and tastes exactly the way it looks. Not too sweet or acidic, just a blast of spot on smashed pepper taste. The platters themselves were pretty standard bowl/platter fare, but 10/10. We labored over some sort of additional side to get, and ended up getting meat arrayes. These were only seen on the website menu, and we almost missed them looking through the Google/Grub Hub menus. They kind of reminded me of pides, and I think we liked them more since we didn't have a lot of pitas for the platters. Using them as pitas felt like a waste, but they weren't quite ready to solo either. I definitely think we should have gotten cheese, because I feel like it would have gone further than the minced meat did. Oh, and speaking of brand new experiences. I figured I'd throw in an Arabic Coffee, with absolutely no idea what that meant. I love all things coffee, and I absolutely love Greek/Turkish coffee, so this was exciting. When we came back to the car, I realized I never got the coffee, so I went back in. Turns out it was in there, just in the 2-3 oz dipping cup I assumed was one of the sauces. I opened it up, and it's thick, like viscous thick. I love thick coffee, and up to this point, I still wasn't shook. Not until I smelled it. I'm pretty sure my girlfriend got a contact high just from sitting next to me. I'm sure there's a dozen tastes I don't have the wherewithal to identify, but front and center is freight train of clove. Hard, potent clove. Holy crap. There's also kind of a coffee taste in there too I think. It felt more like I was dosing when I sipped, or drank, or ate this stuff. I nursed it for a good ten minutes on the drive home, bracing myself for each sip until eventually it was just sludge. I didn't hate it, but if there's a specific way you're supposed to do this I definitely didn't do it that way. Super glad I tried it, but no reason for me to do that again. There's still a dozen things I need to try here, and I have high expectations for all of them. This place is clearly the real deal, and I wish I didn't wait so long before coming here for the first time. read more

For appetizers we had babaghanough, humus, salad with pita . We shared a platter with basmati rice , grilled keftah kebab , lamb chops, grilled tomatoes, peppers with separate sauces . The babaghanoufh was smoky ,. The lamb chops were well seasoned as well as the kefta kebabs . They paired well with the falafels , basmati rice and grilled tomatoes and peppers we ordered that platter for five. We were satisfied and stuffed and still took home leftovers enough for another delicious meal. The service was quick and efficient. read more

Everyone I try a Middle Eastern restaurant I have to try all the staples first to determine if I will return a second time: -Grapeleaves -Hummus -Kibbeh -Baklava Then I try a dish or two. In this case the chicken schwarma wrap and the mixed grill combo. I was really impressed with the hummus so it was off to a good start. The restaurant has several sauces that don't automatically come with dishes. Since this was my first visit the gentleman gave me one of every sauce he had so I would know what I would like to get next time! I liked their "white sauce" the best. What a great idea and very accommodating! I got take out and by the time I got home I saw they forgot to pack my baklava. The gentleman offered to drop off later in the evening. Now this is a restaurant that doesn't deliver unless through a third party so he drove the 12 minutes after he got out of work. Talk about customer service as most places would likely just credit me the money. I enjoyed everything I got and definitely look forward to my second visit. read more

Absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend the food and service was spot on. There are so many unique things to order.

Got take out from this place. Everything is fresh and tasty, though a bit pricey for portion size (we got one of the sides and it felt like it was not very much for the price of an entree, though the flavor was packed and it was made fresh).

This place is really busy with walk-ins and takeouts. Hard to believe they have only recently opened and have become so popular. The food is good, though portions are small. They seem to need time to train their very young staff. It took a while to be attended to after being seated. Hen, We had to ask for menus, silverware, pita bread that was supposed to accompany our food, as well as the correct soda. The server was lovely, but very green. I think I will give it time before returning. I love middle eastern food and hope The Kabob House succeeds. read more

So first the bad: this place doesn't feel like it was quite ready to open. I tried to call in a to go order a few times but no one answered the phone. When I arrived, the staff were arguing, they were short on servers, there were issues with the computer system, the mens bathroom was full of construction equipment and unusable, and I waited an inexcusably long time for my takeout. All in all, a pretty chaotic experience to say the least. This is probably what generated the early one star reviews on Google. Be patient with them. It's opening week. The food is the real deal. I've spent a lot of time in the Middle East and I was quite happy with my chicken Schwarma meal. The desserts look delicious too. We need more restaurants like this in Syracuse. What we don't need are Red Lobsters, Olive Gardens, etc. This place deserves your patience and patronage. The growing pains mentioned above will improve over time. If you're not a patient person, give them a few weeks and then try it. I think you'll be impressed. read more
