Kebab near Commerce, CA

“It was my first time here, the place looked clean. The young lady at the register was super friendly and courteous. I ordered the lamb chop plate as well as the chicken Kabob plate. The lamb chops were very tasty and tender. The ONLY thing was that the rice and lamb chops were very salty. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish my food, it was just too much salt. I'm willing to give this place a second chance only because I love lamb and they are close to me. The pros outweigh the cons and hopefully next time it won't be salty. Will keep you posted“

“We had a 9PM, Sunday reservation at Sora Craft Kitchen, and when we first pulled up, we genuinely thought we were at the wrong place. The surrounding area is very dark and industrial at night, there were barely any cars around, and from the outside you would never expect what’s waiting for you inside.

The second we walked in, it was a completely different atmosphere. It was quiet and super ambient. One thing that immediately surprised me was that it didn’t smell like at all. We were greeted by the chef himself, and seeing him prepare everything right in front of us made the experience even more special. He was essentially running the kitchen himself, yet every dish came out surprisingly fast, fresh, and beautifully prepared.

We started with the Dry-Aged Tenderloin Shish Kebab, and that alone immediately set the tone for dinner. The beef was incredibly flavorful and tender.

Then the chef brought out the Mastabe and PLEASE!! If you come here, ORDER THIS. It ended up becoming the staple of our entire dinner. It’s this creamy house-made yogurt, we literally started adding it to EVERYTHING. The garlicky, creamy freshness somehow complemented every meat and every dish without overpowering anything.

Next came the Siverek Tava, and this one completely blew me away. The combination of ground beef, tomato, and roasted eggplant was incredible. My boyfriend HATES eggplant. Like, refuses to order anything with eggplant level of hate. Even he was shocked at how good it was and how perfectly the eggplant worked with the beef. Huge props to the chef because changing someone's mind about an ingredient they swear they hate says a lot.

The Grilled Branzino came next and was a perfect change of pace. Simple, fresh, perfectly grilled, and topped with vegetables. After all the richer flavors, the fish felt light and refreshing while still having plenty of flavor.

Then we had the Icli Kofte, which might have been one of the biggest surprises of the night. I wasn't expecting such an explosion of flavor from this dish.

Our last savory dish was the Garlic-Spiced Kebab. At this point I was so full and genuinely thought there was no way I was going to finish another dish... and then I kept eating it. It was smoky, garlicky, juicy, and so flavorful that I literally couldn't stop.

And somehow we still made room for dessert.

We finished with the Cheese Halva with Yuzu–Black Sesame Ice Cream, and it was the PERFECT ending. The warm cheese halva practically melted in our mouths. While the ice cream had this refreshing flavor that reminded us of mint and pistachio. The pistachio pieces underneath added the perfect crunch and texture to balance everything out.

What impressed me most about Sora wasn't just one specific dish. It was how thoughtfully everything paired together. Every dish tasted completely different. Nothing felt generic or like something you could order at any other restaurant. You can genuinely taste the freshness and the amount of thought the chef puts into the flavors, textures, and pairings.

Don't let the location fool you. Once you walk through those doors, it's this little hidden gem where the food completely speaks for itself.

Mastabe is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Order it and put it on everything.

Such an amazing dinner and the perfect way to end our day. We left ridiculously full and already talking about coming back. Easily one of the best meals we've had so far.“

“WOW this might be one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Such an unassuming place, order at a window and take to go or sit at a picnic table on the sidewalk. I was blown away. The chicken was so tender and flavorful and the sauces were bomb. The owner is so friendly too. Great service and seriously delicious food.“

“The food is well seasoned, but the skewers are cold on our table. We are disappointed, because the barbecue it’s hot taste is different. After that, my husband and I ordered two skewers of Australian mutton kebabs. These two skewers were hot when they were comed. Was it because of the cheap price that we ate cold skewers?“

“Wish I could give this place ten stars. The chicken plate is humongous and packed with flavor. The char from the charcoals adds incredible flavor. We also had the ground lamb and beef kebab wrap and I considered getting a second. Amazing. At peak times there can be a little bit of a wait but it’s worth it.“

“I was car shopping and got hungry, we came into this place by Google maps and let me just say, this place is awesome, we had hummus, potato salad and yogurt and cucumber appetizer, AMAZING, we got two platters one ground beef and steak and One chicken and steak, both steaks were cook to perfection (it's freaking rare to get perfect steaks in any restaurant) chicken was tender and juicy, ground beef was nice and soft, portions are really good, I m a heavy hitter and I ended up full, also Eddie is the man, great customer, ask for him when coming here (unfortunately I forgot to take pictures)“

“Seems like a training day. When you are a new customer and you order a plate, you have no idea what comes with it and no explanation. I ordered a two meat chicken beef combo and was asked if I wanted meat. It was off but the food was delicious...“

“Loved it! Excellent luleh kebab! Will definitely go back again!“

“Skaf's has made me LOVE Lebanese food when I've never been a fan of Mediterranean at all! The food is so fresh and seasoned well. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's real easy to enjoy good food here when the atmosphere is so warm and inviting. Perfect spot whether you want to eat with a small group of friends or alone while working on your laptop.“

“Clean, fresh and flavorful food - Cornish hen kabob plate and tabouli salad- was quite a nice surprise and delightful experience nestled in the heart of the Garment district.“

“My favorite kebab place in all of the US. well worth the parking headache.“

“Absolutely amazing food we had a variety of beef swarma, chicken and beef kabobs with rice, Taziki salad and the TLK plate. All of the meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned amazingly and everything tasted so fresh . Hats off to the chef for amazing dishes that were plated beautifully and served quickly.
Sandra our waitress was so nice and such a delight, so sweet to our 8 and 9 year old sons.she is such a hard worker literally running to make sure everyone’s needs were met. One of the most kindest waitresses we have ever had! We are from Glendora and will definitely be back!! Thank you!!“

“The people here are awesome. From the parking I was welcomed by the employee that works at their supermarket and also in the restaurant. The food here is fresh and delicious and I can't wait to come try something else on the menu. Thank you for your hospitality!“

“Super Deli! 100% recomendado 😋“

“Tried out your Cerritos location, I lived in LA almost 3years and food especially the kebab wrap was the best by far and I have tried different kebab place’s before in LA. One of the best Kebab place in America, the lamb was moist and very tasty with great flavors, the combination of the hummus, salad, fries combined with the lamb was delicious, the fresh flat bread was soft and crispy on the outside. Add the garlic yogurt sauce wow your tastebuds explodes in your mouth, the food was very lite and not heavy like most kebab place so they got the right balance by using the flat bread and not pita bread that most place use on the wrap Well done this place remind me of a place back home in New Zealand. I give The Kebab shop in Cerritos 10/10 Highly Recommend this place to my friends and family and different locations in America. Will go again and try something different on the menu.“

“Had their skewers and dry pot delivered, and honestly one of the best drypots I've ever had (i eat malatang every single week). Spicy, numbing, savory, and balanced. A lot of other dry pots tend to be sesame forward, but I liked that they stayed true to the mala chili oil. It was still so good the day after omg I still dream about it“

“Really excellent place for Chinese style skewers and some Korean elements. We got so many skewers and they were all delicious! We even got molten soup which is so warm and delicious.
I usually dislike Chinese style skewers places in US bc the risk and reward are not good (aka cost too much for tiny ounce of meat) but this place met my expectations and might be better than most places in China that I had.

High quality place if you can check it out.“

“Best ever kabob&desserts. Quality Service Ambient Best flavor food!!! Try once & never stop😋“

“I luv this place! I usually order for pick up. I recommend the Chicken Kabob plate with Basmati rice and a Ceasar salad. Don't forget the pita bread! 😋👍“

“I am coming here from last 5 years and I love this place.“
