    First time visit. We have heard of the Kebab Shop from friend back home in Brea, so luckily we found a location during our day trip to North San Diego County. Well it did not disappoint. The sauces are great. Try the chili sauce with some garlic yogurt. Wifey had the grilled chicken bowl, and I had the beef and lamb. Will admit hers was better. My beef and lamb was tasty, but the slices were unmanageably long - couldn't dip them in the sauces. Yes they do have plastic knives, but I was hoping for tenderness. Overall the combination of flavors was great satisfying and the staff was super nice and professional. Restroom was clean as well as the venue. Definitely making it to our rotation. Even though it may be closer in the OC.

    Kebab shop is one of our all time favorite Mediterranean food spots in San Diego! I come here for lunch at least 2X per month. Service is quick! Staff are friendly! And the food is rich in flavor! As soon as you walk in you are met with the smoky aroma of their tender kebabs and shawarma! Each meal is made-to-order, from vibrant vegan dishes to hearty carnivore favorites, ensuring freshness and flavor in every bite. Also, make sure to sign up for their rewards program. The more points you earn, the more freebies you get!

    San Diego wrap with sirloin steak

    I've been to other locations and it's safe to say they maintain the standard across all locations!! Came in on a Sunday for lunch and was so excited to eat but I wanted something healthy. We walked in and only waited about 2 minutes in line. The inside had plenty of seating with really nice wall art and photos everywhere. The woman working there took our order and was very patient as we asked questions. She was very kind when she gave me the code to the bathroom too. We ordered a Grains bowl with mixed meats, both chicken and lamb, saffron rice and added romaine lettuce. We also ordered the San Diego wrap and added grilled sirloin steak to it. The grain bowl was so balanced, I added the dill yogurt sauce and the Jalapeño sauce to my bowl which just brought all the flavors together so perfectly. The saffron rice was cooked perfectly also with great flavors the lettuce was crisp, and the red cabbage slaw, picked onions and tomato and cucumber just gave every bite such a fresh taste! It was a perfect meal! The San Diego wrap was well toasted, the fries inside were fresh and the grilled sirloin steak had a nice smokey taste that gave such an authentic flavor to the entire wrap! Overall, just great place! One of my go too's especially when I want to eat clean or show my friends a new spot! I will definitely be back!

    A little pricey for portion size but tasted great. One single piece of Beef Kofta +2 sides came out to ~$20 (w/o a drink or tip). The place was very clean and had plenty of indoor seating (also a few seats outside). Service was fast and friendly. Parking lot is always busy but never had an issue finding a spot. Trolley stop is in the same lot. I took my order to go, glad I grabbed a few sauces from the "sauce bar". They added needed flavor to the dish. The rice and falafel sides wouldn't have been as good with them. Only reason I wouldn't go back is due to portion size vs price.

    AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. honestly you could share just one kebab between two people! it's huge and long. i recommend trying the yogurt dill it's soo good. they have other sauces too but it gets spicier. i'm always satisfied with my experince here, happy with price, parking is easy. just a happy customer whenever i eat here

    I ordered from The Kebab Shop and had a really frustrating experience. I paid for two items, including the Caesar Crunch wrap, and they completely forgot to include it in my order. On top of that, it wasn't a small or cheap item either that was basically the main thing I was looking forward to. It's disappointing to spend nearly $50 and not even get everything you paid for.

    Food was brought out so quickly. It was deliciously made. The service was amazing. I had a kiddo with disabilities & Carolina was extremely understanding and kind to us. Thank you for the patience & for the service. Truly thankful for people like you

    While I still love this place, I think this was the worst experience I've had at any of their locations. My guy and I split a Chicken plate with Chickpea Salad and Jalapeno Hummus. The hummus was the only enjoyable part of the meal. while the chicken was dry and the chickpea salad had zero flavor to it. It was very disappointing because the chickpea salad has always been my favorite part and one of the main reasons I enjoy eating at Kebab Shop. I'm going to stick to the other locations from now on.

    Came out of a movie and looking for something not to crazy. Ordered the San Diego wrap and it was delicious. It makes me remember to come here more often. They have a few a few stores across San Diego. It was fairly clean and inside and inviting. The man taking my order was nice and polite. Bought it to go. Oh don't forget a few packs of the white sauce. It's so good. I got 2 but probably should have got 3

    Oof big miss here basically wanted to come here because again the kids love this place. It's usually a solid spot. We order catering from the Kebab Shop here on via La Jolla and we also do family dinners here pretty frequently. What happened was when I bit into my chicken kebab wrap I bit into this hard thorn like stick that pretty much stabbed me. Please see the picture and when I brought it up to the staff, they were explaining it as a piece of charcoal, but I said that this was much harder than charcoal felt like plastic, and it was very long and inside my food wrap. I don't know what to do from here. I still have the piece and I am just surprised that they were explaining the item to me has just charcoal and it was fine. If it was just charcoal, it would easily break, but this was as hard as a piece of plastic. They did do a quick apology and said they would remake my wrap. Yelpers please check your food here.

    Chicken shwarma wraps
    Jaine D.

    It was gross. That's all I can say. Too much of the wrap, which was not good and the chicken inside was also not great. If you're from LA and you're expecting Zankou quality ingredients this ain't it. I couldn't even finish what I order. Maybe, if there was a world where I was just super wasted AND stoned to the bone, it *might* be decent. But 0/10 for food. Place was clean tough and the service was sufficient.

Rich in flavor with a wide variety of healthy toppings. Service is quick and efficient. The staff are friendly and helpful. We've been coming here for years and this place never disappoints. Typically, I rave about the Greek fries (because why the hell not). They're amazingly delicious. However, this time around I shared the chicken wrap with my lovely wife. The grilled chicken was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor! The combination of lemon, olive oil, parsley, garlic, and spices makes this wrap absolutely delightful and tasteful 10/10! Parking is easily accessible. Make sure to validate your parking slip inside (it's quick n easy). Prices are reasonable compared to other places. Definitely stop by and give this place a try. It's a great grab and go spot to enjoy some bomb Mediterranean comfort food.

At first glance, we knew we were in for a true authentic and great meal when we saw other Persians dining at the restaurant ;D Vibes: Namino shares a parking lot with other food establishments but on a Tuesday afternoon, we didn't have trouble finding a spot. The restaurant gives a mom and pop vibe, where they warmly welcomed us in. I loved that the lady gave us a bell to ring when we're ready to order. There were more than a handful of 4 person tables available inside. No outdoor seats. The guy who took our order and served our food was welcoming and our food came out within 10 minutes. Food: -Beef Koobideh Kabob ($15.95): skewer of suuuper flavorful beef served on a bed of saffron rice with a side salad and half a roasted tomato. I saw one of the reviews here that said to put sumac powder on the rice-- thank you for that! I asked for tzatziki sauce on the side and it paired well with the kabob. -Beef Kabob Sandwich ($11.95): my husband ordered this and he loved it as well. If we weren't in a hurry to catch a movie, I would've loved to try the baklava. Overall: A great authentic Persian restaurant located in La Jolla. You won't be disappointed!

Putting together your own bowl felt like Dr. Bruce Banner carefully combining elements in the lab to create the ultimate recipe. We had the lamb and that was on top of a full base of arugula, along with a lot of the veggies and toppings. The lemon garlic sauce finished it off, and it was very moist and excellent. The meat was so tender and flavorful it honestly packed a punch strong enough to rival the Hulk. We also had the chicken, and that was with the garlic sauce, which was excellent! Service was friendly and they were extremely efficient. The staff was moving fast and getting everyone through the line smoothly, kinda like Quicksilver zooming across the room. Parking is super easy and we parked right up front at a strip mall. It was such a breeze we didn't even need to use Pym particles to shrink the car just to squeeze into a spot lol.
