Spicy chicken (w/no salad)
Michael M.

Love the food but the inconsistency of spice and amount of food while ordering TO-GO is frustrating. Ordered Spicy Chicken with no salad again and the amount of meat (6 pieces of chicken) is sad. They filled the to go box with rice to fill the gaps which was nice but put LESS chicken then ever done before. Eating in is never the problem with service and food, but 9/10 always have a problem with To-Go orders.

We were promptly greeted and given the Orion to pick our seating. They actually have three seating areas and we selected the back room. While it was a slow night there were lots of take out orders that kept our server busy. However she kept up with checking on us and filling our water. No wine or beer is served. The bar is an artifact left over and kept for historical reasons. The appetizers are more American than Mediterranean. However the table enjoyed them. The election of entrees are a mix of Mediterranean and American infusion. The portions are larger. I recommend the garlic sauce on side as it I generously smothered over the food. Everyone enjoyed the meals.

Hummus Shawerma with chicken. It was spectacular. But fair warning, the garlic in the hummus could break your whole AND date!

To start, this suite is much larger than I anticipated. They essentially have 3 dining rooms. The main entrance leads you to the barroom (room 1). They allowed us to sit where we would like, so we selected the room towards the rear, modest dining hall with decorations (room 2). I would say one problem about this room is that the ceiling fans catch the ambient light (both artificial and natural) and reflects it back at the patrons, which could be headache inducing. And the room that was off-limits at opening is more a classical style room, most likely intended for packed houses and dinner time. The lasses at the front were both very nice. They served us immediately and the water tastes filtered (yay!) my wife and I shared a plate. The Hummus Shawerma with chicken. It was spectacular. The chicken was well-seasoned and rich in herbs. It sat atop the hummus, which lent the juice flavors to the olive oil and tomatoes. And the pita bread did its part in supplementing the dish. But fair warning, the garlic in the hummus could break your whole AND date! The restroom was very clean and well stocked. And again, great positive customer service! If ever we return to this town, this'd be the spot!

Birthday lunch for my son. He loves this place. My 2nd time. Excellent service. Delicious food. Couldn't finish. Large portions. Quiet because we went middle afternoon before dinner crowd.

Spicy Chicken

Favorite of ours when visiting Hanford! Let's be honest, this town lacks an abundance of good places to eat; However, this is one of the few! This place offers a sit down, relaxed atmosphere with attentive service and tasty food. Best part? It's all very affordable for what you get! If you are looking for dinner in Hanford this is your best bet.

Back dining area

Ambiance: Very nice! 3 separate indoor dining spaces--1 next to bar, another in back & 3rd is banquet room (where we were. Note: Banquet room isn't accessible. 2 steps on both front & back of room). Otherwise, rest seems accessible. Service was very good. They had the Yelp Elite offerings printed as a menu. Order: Greek Salad w/Beef: So so good! Lots of beef that was tender, well-seasoned & cooked beautifully medium-rare. Nice size salad overall. Gyro & Fries: Gyro meat nicely moist, well-seasoned & tasty. TONS of fries...so many fries! My tiny critique is more veggies & tzatziki sauce would be great. I asked for extra sauce & no problem. Great value for the price. Hummus & Falafel Platter (substitute hummus for baba ganoush): Baba ganoush was tasty w/chopped tomato garnish. Falafel were nicely crispy outside & light & fluffy inside. Good seasoning! Overall, I see why they're so highly rated. First time to Hanford, came here from Fresno (50 min away) for a Yelp Elite event. Cute, busy Main Street area. Food was good enough that we'll come back here again. Also, got free plastic wine glasses from Yelp.

Perfect spot for a mid week lunch. My server Ezekiel was very kind and checked on my table…read moreconstantly. Great service! Chicken shawarma wrap: perfectly cooked chicken, the pickles and onions evivated this meal. Highly recommend ordering all the fixings! Dolmas + tatiziki Fries were cute. Great portion! Maybe order just 1 if sharing. Will definitely come back!

Review: A Triumphant Return to Pita Kabob…read more Rating: It had been about five years since my last visit to Pita Kabob, and I'm happy to report that it remains one of the best spots in town. From the moment we walked through the door, the service was seamless; we were greeted immediately and seated within just a few minutes. The Vibe & Menu The menu strikes a great balance--large enough to offer a deep variety of Mediterranean dishes and libations without being overwhelming. We noticed a fantastic selection of drinks and settled on a few ciders, which have been our go-to lately. They were the perfect crisp pairing for the meal ahead. The Main Event: Mediterranean Pitas We decided to stick with the classics and ordered the Mediterranean Pitas: * Lamb Pita: Rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. * Filet Mignon Pita: Incredibly tender and high-quality protein. Each pita was packed with flavor and offered that satisfying "fresh and crisp" crunch in every bite. The portions were spot on--filling enough to satisfy but leaving just enough room for a side. Don't Skip the Fries We couldn't leave without sharing an order of their fries. If you haven't had them, they are an absolute essential for the table. Final Verdict Five years is a long time to be away, but Pita Kabob hasn't missed a beat. Between the efficient service, the flavorful entrees, and the great drink selection, it was an amazing experience. We won't be waiting another five years to come back!

Just awful and completely inedible. I was trying to avoid…read morefast food while on the road and figured I'd play it safe with Mediterranean--how bad could it be, right? So I stopped at Kabab Twist, thinking a gyro and salad would be a decent, quick meal. Big mistake. Took one bite of the gyro and immediately regretted it. The meat was dry, flavorless, and tasted like it had been sitting around way too long. The salad wasn't any better--limp greens and a dressing that tasted like it came straight from a bottle of disappointment. After two bites total, the whole plate went straight in the trash. That should tell you everything you need to know. Avoid. This place somehow managed to mess up Mediterranean food, and that's saying something.

Nice, new (as of mid-'23) little place inside Village Mall in downtown Kingsburg, where there are…read morealso some cute gift, children's, and garden shops. This is counter ordering with limited seating in the area and a little more in the mall hallway - quiet for our weekday lunch but might be less so when busy. No problem - just take out, because the food is worth it. I had a chicken shawarma plate so tasty I didn't even need the garlic sauce, and the pilaf was light and fluffy. My companions enjoyed their gyro and chicken wraps, the latter having a little spice kick. Side salads were nothing out of the ordinary, but side French fries were plentiful. The counter worker (possibly the owner) was helpful and attentive. It's a little hard to spot because the only sign outside is for all the shops in the little mall. Just look for the mall sign and head through the door (it feels like you might be entering one of these shops but you're not) and straight to the back - it's well marked. You might evening enjoy the other shops too, as I did.

If I could give Brochettes Mediterranean European Grill 100 stars, I would!…read more As a Greek woman, I don't say this lightly, the food was absolutely incredible. Everything tasted fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully crafted. You can genuinely tell they take pride in what they serve. The Greek chicken was perfectly seasoned and so fresh. Every dish that we ordered was vibrant, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. And the desserts? The little pastries were the perfect finish, authentic, delicious, and not overly sweet. But what truly made the experience stand out was the service. The entire team was so welcoming, kind, and attentive. From the moment we walked in, we felt taken care of. Their hospitality alone deserves recognition. I went with my team, and every single one of us left blown away. Hands down, if you're anywhere near this area, you need to stop here.
