    Delicious chicken shawarma bowl today! Excellent and so fresh and tasty! Loved the Arnold Palmer and baklava
    Matthew C.

    Excellent food and service always!! The dolmas were delicious and baklava amazing!! Always fresh and delicious!

    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.

    Burrito with rice need sauce on the rice
    Taylor A.

    I tried the beef kebab burrito. The burrito was pretty good. The rice was horrible was dry. I wish I would have some of that white sauce stuff on it. I don't know, though. It was pretty good. The tortillas was grilled a little too much on the burrito but other than that it's good.

    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.

    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.

    Great experience all around. The food has that fresh, made-with-care Mediterranean taste -- bright, well-seasoned, and balanced, not heavy or greasy like a lot of places. Everything came out hot and clearly hadn't been sitting under a heat lamp. Service was warm and attentive without rushing us. Staff were friendly, checked in at the right moments, and got everything to the table quickly.

    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.

I've visited this place only 3 times in the past 5 years. Yet they remain extraordinarily consistent. I get one item, the Combo plate. Every time I get it I find that it is PAINFULLY DELICIOUS. Their white meat is flavorful and tender. Beef is scrumptious. Hummus is buttery smooth! The pilaf is delectable. Flatbread and sauce are good. Salad will wake you right up, but is hit or miss. All in all the plate is a 4.6 out of 5. ($16 at this time of 11/2024.) The food court isn't terribly full, with lots of seating. There's a restroom nearby (with a fella talking in a stall with a lady on the phone about whether she still has the possession of the product and that their boy got shot... but that's for another time, children!) I have eaten at only a few other places when visiting this town, but make no mistake, I really do not care to. If the quality of food stays this consistent, then they will continue to have my business!

    I am very disappointed with the service I received at Kabab City in Reedley. I decided to come here…read morefor dinner based on the great experience I had during my last visit, but unfortunately, this visit was far from consistent. I usually order the chicken kabab plate, but this time I wanted to try something different. I asked the waitress for a recommendation, and she suggested the spicy chicken, saying it was very popular and one of their best dishes. Based on her recommendation, I ordered it. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy it. The dish was very saucy and lacked flavor for my taste. My boyfriend politely asked the waitress if I could exchange it for something else since I did not like it. She informed us that because the dish had already been prepared, I would have to pay for both the meal I did not enjoy and any replacement meal I ordered. I was genuinely surprised by this response. Having worked in the restaurant industry for many years, I understand that guests sometimes try new items and discover they simply are not to their liking. In my experience, restaurants often try to accommodate those situations to ensure customer satisfaction. If this is the restaurant's policy regarding refunds or exchanges, it should be clearly communicated to customers. Policies like this should not come as a surprise after an issue arises. Transparency goes a long way in creating a positive customer experience. The waitress then spoke with her manager and returned with an alternative solution. She said they would provide two chicken skewers at no charge, but I would still be responsible for paying for the original meal. What made this even more confusing was that the original plate included rice and salad, while the replacement consisted only of two skewers. If the restaurant was willing to replace the meal, I do not understand why a full replacement plate was not offered. It also did not make sense that I was expected to pay for a meal I did not enjoy while only receiving a partial replacement to take home. Although I agreed to the solution, what bothered me most was the change in attitude afterward. The waitress became noticeably less friendly, and both she and another employee seemed rude when I went to pay my bill. It felt as though I was being treated poorly simply because I did not enjoy the recommended dish. This is not the level of customer service I expected, especially after having such a positive experience here previously. I understand that restaurants may have policies regarding refunds or exchanges, but there is a respectful and professional way to handle those situations. Unfortunately, I left feeling unwelcome and disappointed. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and focuses on improving customer service, communication, and the overall guest experience. As of now, I do not plan on returning.

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.

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.
