i really don't do reviews.but i had to leave one for this one Great great food Great service i was very pleased to eat here chicken. was delicious. they made us feel at home ... recommended it read more

I stumbled upon this place for lunch today not reading reviews etc beforehand. My companion and I agree with all of the terrific reviews. The food was fresh and well made, and the presentation was great. We had the chicken kabobs and falafel plate. Their hummus and garlic sauce are 5 star. If there was one thing that I would suggest to the owners is to offer fresh pita. I don't know how much that would add to their costs but to me, it would be worth it. read more

My husband and I finally tried this place after driving by so many times and admiring the name and when it turned out to have high reviews, we definitely had to try it! Picked up to go on a busy weekend afternoon and though it was slightly delayed, the owners were so sweet and welcoming, we did not care about waiting a bit more. Food was good for the price, and would come back for a quick, easy meal. Parking is street, but shouldn't be a problem as it's relatively quiet on the street read more

Got hungry while waiting for my car being serviced and found Why Not Kabob on Yelp. It was a few minutes walk and when I got there, there were only a few other people there but it looked like they were working on some large takeout/catering orders in the back. I could tell it was going to be good because of the delicious smell outside as I was getting closer to the restaurant. I sat down and ordered the beef luleh and chicken shish combo. It came with rice (small portion, for me at least lol), raw onions, small salad, grilled tomato, grilled chili pepper, and one pita. The food came out about 10 minutes after ordering. The luleh was very flavorful and juicy. It's easy to dry it out when overcooked but it was perfect. The chicken was also delightful. Perfect seasoning and I'm not usually a dark meat guy but I loved this chicken. No chewy or gristly pieces whatsoever. The portion were just about perfect if you're really hungry. I would just prefer more rice but that's just because I'm Iranian and am used to a heaping mound of rice with my kabob lol. Service was so friendly also. Honestly, everything about this place was pretty great. We come to Glendale every now and then and next time we're in the area I'm bringing the fiancee here with me :) read more

Why not kabob - Beef luleh and chicken shish. All so good! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendale, California

I like the chicken kabob plate and always get pickles and shirazi salad on the side. As others note, there are a lot of middle eastern options in Glendale, from affordable to pricey. This place is very affordable, has strong customer service, free delivery to the area, and the most fun name. So, why the heck not? read more

This is a long over due review. First off the food is delicious and always fresh. But the family is just as wonderful. Everyone is so warm and caring, I feel like they're my family too. I don't live in the area so I make it a point to eat here a few times a month while working in the area. It's a wonderful restaurant all around. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I was stuck at a Glendale dealership for hours and I ordered their beef kebab sandwich through Postmates and it was fantastic! I especially enjoyed the fried potatoes on the side. Will definitely go back. read more

THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!! WHAT EVER THEY Marinated the meat and chicken was so flavorful and it was very moist. That was number 10.the dulmas were so good. Thanks for the great experience. Every one in the restaurant was very friendly. read more

Outstanding freshness cooked to order. Great service and friendly owners who make sure your meal is always outstanding. Highly recommend!

The reason why my sister and I look forward to our laser hair removal appts down the street from here is ONLY because we know we about to grub here afterwards! The minute you step foot into this gem you are instantly greeted by a young gentleman who is seriously the nicest most accommodating person I've ever met!! He happily answers any questions we have about the menu and offers suggestions. He offers us free water bottles while we eat and the food is AMAZING. I can't even begin to explain how BOMB their chicken and beef taste. It it weren't because I live so far away from this hidden gem, I would come here everyday! read more

Why not kabob - Chicken Luleh Kaboob and Beef Luleh Kabooh - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendale, California

Ordered some lunch over the phone for pick-up (Beef Shish fillet and Chicken Lule Plate + Hummus), still had to wait about 20 minutes after arriving for the food to be cooked. Not much parking from what I could tell, had to street park in front. Good amount of seating and some TVs with some soccer highlights playing in the background. Very nice, courteous staff. Def a mom and pop shop. Eventually got my food, paid, and left. When I had got home, I checked my food and was a bit perplexed. The Chicken Lule seemed like some other kind of meat (Pork maybe? Still not sure what I actually got). Beef Shish was a bit overdone. Huge amount of rice, veggies were good, Hummus (extra cost, not part of the plate) was good. I was definitely full after finishing + had some food left over. Maybe I came in at a bad time, but was not totally impressed and wouldn't really recommend tbh. Could be that I was misheard over the phone and they gave me something different from what I ordered. Cut out the guess work and order there or online would be my suggestion. read more

My husband and I were looking for a good lunch spot and stumbled upon this place. The service is great and food is so delicious. You can tell from first bite how fresh the food is. The meats are absolutely delicious and full of flavor. We will definitely be back. read more

not very good. Its kabob so its hard to completely mess it up. But you're better off somewhere else. Staff was very friendly.

food was amazing--but the employees made it really special!! you won't regret coming here!

Delicious and very personal service. Family owned and operated so it's like being at home!!

When I'm in the area and in the mood for Mediterranean food, I always order from here. This review is for delivery only. I've ordered from here many times for delivery and almost always get the same thing - their salmon plate. I feel like they give generous portions of salmon and rice. Also, every time I have ordered the salmon has been cooked just right! The plate comes with one pita bread, raw onions with herbs, salad, and a roasted tomato and jalapeno. I have also tried their eggplant dip and their cucumber and yogurt dip, both of which were good. I recommended this place to some family and they also enjoyed the food and felt that for the price their portions were generous. read more

I used to come here every day in the early 2000's it was the best food I've ever had. Now I live further away but wants to go back and I wonder if it's still the same? read more

We were looking for dinner and found this place on Yelp. Overall, it's a great place to get food. The owner was really personable and made us feel very welcome. We both had a combination plates with the beef fillet, chicken shish, and beef luleh kabobs. The plates were both served with a really fresh salad, and their grilled tomato and grilled pepper were also excellent. I also enjoyed their rice, which was very fluffy. However, I'll have to admit that I wasn't that impressed with their pita bread. Overall, I would go here again and I recommend going here if you're looking for kabobs, but with so many kabob places in Glendale, it's also not at the top of my list. However, if you're looking for a nice environment with decent food, this is a good place to go. read more

I came here for lunch to dine-in. I really wanted to love this place, but my overall experience was just okay. We were seated, and given time to review the menu. And then we sat for 30 minutes before water or utensils were brought out. When our meal finally came out, it looked good, but I found the beef luleh a little under seasoned. The rice pilaf was good. I was jealous that my partner had cucumbers on their salad, I only had tomatoes. It seemed to be popular for take out. There's street parking, but the spots right in front of the restaurant are for loading. read more

I'm glad this place was my introduction to authentic Mediterranean food. I had tried halal guys and hated it but this place was so good. It's a mom and pop shop and it's a definite recommend. The meat was incredibly juicy and flavorful. The roasted peppers had a nice smoky flavor and had a nice kick of spicy. The roasted tomato also had a smoky flavor that complimented the meat very well. The price point is cheap for the amount and quality of the food. There isn't a ton of seating but there aren't a lot of people eating inside anyways. The place was clean and the owners were very sweet and kind. read more

Hidden gem. Stopped in here for a quick lunch while I was getting my car fixed down the street. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. read more

I live nowhere near here but make a point to pick up a plate or two if I'm in the area. Probably the best tasting kebabs I've had.

The food here is delicious. It's moderately priced and the portions are big in my opinion. I would recommend it.

Couldn't recommend them more highly! The food is wonderful, the portions are generous, and their customer service goes above and beyond (thank you Nar!). We've had multiple combo plates and they've all been delicious! They deliver for FREE (but please tip during these challenging times) and you can order delivery directly from the restaurant which I love. The customer doesn't pay ridiculous service fees, and you are directly supporting a local/independent business without the middle man taking a huge cut from the restaurant. They also went the extra mile to deliver food to my elderly parents in an assisted living. They separated and labeled the individual orders to make it easy for the staff. A+! read more

Favorite kabob joint in the area. Great service and great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Have driven past this place many times but ultimately the name worked on me. I've been doing a tour of kabob spots in Glendale and so far this is one of my favorites. I had the Chicken Shish sandwich, fries and eggplant dip. All excellent. The fries are cottage style. I liked em though on another occasion might ask for for them to be a little more on the crispy side. Definitely going back. read more

Hey guys if you are craving Mediterranean meal go to why not kabob trust me it is worth to try and also costumer service here is amaxing the owner he is so friendly and kind and food is delicious definitely coming back here again and also order take out on weekends read more

Great place to have lunch. The food is delicious and the service was dynamic. You can tell how sincere the staff are in making sure they provide you with the best customer experience. If you've never tried I say, "WHY NOT?" Pun intended! Lol. read more

Why not kabob - Chicken and beef Luleh Kabob - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendale, California

It is a small family owned(I assumed by watching) business, nice and cozy which I value quite a bit. Price: definitely reasonable, good portion, service was great w great positive attitude/vibe. Food: I ordered chicken & beef luleh, and chicken thigh, with side order of tabouli and jajukh (yogurt sauce w cucumber). Luleh had very good flavor and texture which I was pleasantly surprised. Beef is usually not my gig, but it was tasty!! My bf loved them as well. Tabouli, my fav salad, was very fresh and on point, was so simple which I can appreciate a lot. Jajukh was exactly what you expect, simple, fresh and necessity for me. Side choice of fried potato was not my favorite, but not bad. Best of all, the food wasn't overly flavored nor salty which is the most important thing for me when I evaluate. I like simple flavors. Would I come back: Yes, I'm glad I found this place near my pad. read more

Horrible food. The chicken was undercooked. The humus has zero flavor and the rice tasted like dirt. Like as if I was eating soil. It had a foul strong dirt like taste that I couldn't get past. I just threw it all away after paying 20 dollars for that meal. read more

Stopped in for lunch while I was having a tire replaced down the block. I ordered the chicken kabob wrap and a drink. (Total:$7.50) It took about 15 minutes to cook the food but that's to be expected for that kind of thing. The owner was super friendly and let me bring my dog inside the door while I waited. Then he brought out some chicken and gave some to my dog. My dog and I both agreed that this was some pretty good chicken. For the price I think you can't go wrong. Don't expect fancy decor. That's not what this place is about. It's about good food at a fair price. There's only one other place in Glendale with better chicken kabob but it's a little farther away from me so this spot will do just fine when I'm close by. TIP: call ahead to avoid the wait. read more

Why not kabob - Yummmmm - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendale, California

We got the beef filet, beef luleh & chicken shish kabob so we could try all of the meat. And all of them were tasty, juicy & tender. The rice & salad was super abundant with one order enough to be shared by 2. We also tried their falafel plate with the same big quantity as well. Very satisfied with the service & cleanliness of the place. Parking though was by side street but worth the trip! read more
