    Delicious food sometimes it's hit or miss on certain food items but the potatoes or hash browns never miss.

    The iceberg lettuce used was browning, it was old. I spent 21$ on this greek salad! Chicken was not bad! But the lettuce is old which disgusted me. They added 3 olive and called it a Greek salad . Overloaded with w feta cheese

    Fried zucchini this is a regular order!!

    Great food! The burgers are the best. Just know the sides are one size and they fill an entire takeout bag with fries, onion rings or fried zucchini. Enough for 6 people. Their ranch is really good.

    I absolutely love this place! So glad for this little gem that's by my job. We decided to come for lunch and I love their gyro. Everything I've had from here is made fresh and so good. They do charge extra for ranch but it's thick and good so it's worth it. They have inside and outside seating. Lots of parking and they have a drive thru. They have free refills on drinks. The service is great and friendly. The portions are huge and shareable. You won't regret coming here.

    Finally got around to trying one of "the best burger spots" in riverside. And finally the hype was right. We live next to George's on magnolia and we were so disappointed! But this place.. from the burgers, to the fries, to the zucchini.. perfection. Their chili cheese fries with pastrami were also a hit ! I have no complaints! Everything was made fresh to order and the service was amazing. The young beautiful lady was very welcoming and friendly. The place was also very clean and well kept up with. Definitely worth the drive for a burger !

    I recently moved to the area, and while trying to find a great Mediterranean spot, this place popped up. Is there anything on the menu relatively close to actual Greek food?

    Where is your menu?

    Hello Teena. Great question. We currently have been working on adding things to the menu. Once our menu is completed we will post it. Thank you for reaching out!

    Can you order walk up or order ahead takeout? Or are you strictly drive through at the moment?

    Yes, we do offer the option to call ahead and make a phone order.

Love it - not too soft and not too crispy. The taztziki sauce is so good here but you must love the garlic aftertaste as it will be in your mouth for awhile!! The pita bread is sooo soft and fresh.

While driving by, I decided to stop here for a quick lunch, and I'm so glad I did. First of all, the place is impeccable. I work in cleaning services, so I notice these things right away. Everything was spotless. The ambiance is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. Service was fast, but what stood out was that the cashier still took the time, with a smile, to explain parts of the menu when we had questions. The prices are surprisingly affordable. When my mom hesitated because of the language, they made the effort to speak Spanish to make her feel comfortable, which meant a lot to us. We were served at our table, and honestly, the first bite was heavenly. I thought I already loved Greek food, but this went beyond anything I've tried before. Definitely coming back

    Kabob House is amazing - an absolute hidden gem in Riverside that I've had at least 20 times in the…read morelast 7 years. I've had halal kabobs from restaurants all over SoCal and the country and this place is still my favorite. It's a great option for catering (I always get the family platter pictured) and this was my go to place when we lived nearby - the flavors are tasty but not too overpowering so it works for all guests no matter their spice preference. We still drive up to 30 mins to cater from here because the food is always so good and a reliable hit with any guests that we have over. FOOD: The meat is not just flavorful but most importantly, it's somehow always just so moist, so juicy, and so tender all the way through. And it's not just the meats - every item they serve is just really unexpectedly delicious. At most kabob places, the rice/pita/salad/hummus are just weak add ons to fill up the plate, but these items are always so delicious at Kabob House and you can always taste the flavor bursting in every item (my fav is the salad which has a lemon/vinegary kick to it that just elevates the meal). All the items on the menu are great, but my personal favorite is the salmon kabob (if you've never had a salmon kabob, do yourself a favor and try it out and at least add one skewer of it if you get a combo) - the owner recommended this to me years ago, and I've always added at least a couple skewers every time since - all my guests rave about it. SERVICE/AMBIANCE It's a small casual family owned restaurant and the service is always super friendly. You can see the food being made fresh behind the counter which shows their confidence - it's clear they take immense pride in the quality of all their items and are eager to share their food and Palestinian heritage. The price is also exceptional value for the quantity of food you get, especially compared to other similar restaurants. OVERALL: I will continue to eat from here and would highly recommend trying it out.

Reviews were good, local hole in the wall, let's find out... Service is counter, friendly and nice. As befits the current economy, prices are a bit higher for a local lunch. Food was excellent, enjoyed my Kafta very much although I would have preferred a grilled tomato and peppers like other places have. Bread was good, rice was good. Soda refillable :-) I will definitely try again when in the city. Recommended!!

The food court had a variety of options and there was ample seating inside and out. All the indoor tables were taken but ambiance was nice and seemed busy with plenty of patrons.

The cashier was nice and gave me the option to choose half lettuce and half rice. I liked the chicken with the buffalo sauce and the rice + lettuce combo tasted nice with the protein. I liked the additional toppings of the pickles and tomatoes because it tasted refreshing with the other foods. My friend unfortunately did not really like his meal. He got a beef kabob and other toppings but the meall overall didn't taste good to him. He also only had the option of just rice and wish he was presented with the option of half rice, half lettuce.
