It was our first time trying Kabab Express, we were craving kabab and rice, and we so happy that we tried it.Everything was perfect, delicious and warm fresh bread.Customer service was great.If you are picky about the cleanliness, this is a place that you don’t need to worry about it.We will definitely come back.“

“Happened upon this place by chance while looking for vegetarian/vegan options and all I can say is that it did not disappoint at all!!! The food was so good! Every single dish that my husband and I tried ( he’s not vegetarian/vegan) was incredible, we had the dips with bread and veggies and I had the fried eggplant and the falafel while hubby had the beef kebabs and we ended with coffee and sticky toffee pudding (yum) we now have a new place to go for future lunches and dinners. It was THAT GOOD! Service was great, our waiter was Knowledgeable and attentive.. we really enjoyed it ( can’t you tell ha) and will be returning soon!“

“We ordered the gyro plate with Greek salad, garlic potatoes and humus. Everything was fresh with great flavors. The spicy cilantro was a little bit spicy but had excellent flavor. The service was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. Would definitely recommend pita pita.“

“First time eating at Pita Pita... mind blown! I already can't wait to go back! The Lemon Shrimp Bowl (seasonal) is a MUST TRY. * The shrimp was cooked to perfection. * The lemon garlic potatoes? AMAZING. So crispy and flavorful. You ever see those TikTok videos of influencers cooking potatoes and showing off the crunch? THIS WAS THAT. * The basmati rice and tabbouleh are classic sides that paired so well with the shrimp and potatoes! Rice was cooked to the T and the tabbouleh was a nice, fresh addition. * Get. as. many. sauces. as. you. can! I know they charge extra, but SO worth it. Want some extra spice? GET THE HOT CHILI! Perfect amount of spice level!!! * The potato chips were a great palette cleanser but was also great to dip into the sauces as well!!! * Not pictured, but the mint lemonade is sooo refreshing to get with your meal! If you're debating about whether or not to try Pita Pita (specifically the Laguna location) JUST GO! You will not regret it. Also, a HUGE shoutout to Jacob who came in CLUTCH! I thought I had submitted my online order, but when I arrived, I realized I never actually hit the order button I wasn't trying to show it, but Jacob could tell I was now in a rush (lunch breaks go by fast!) and went out of his way to start preparing my order and checkout my order, all within seconds of finding out my mistake. So THANK YOU Jacob for your outstanding service!!! I had enough time leftover to enjoy my amazing lunch :D“

“Have you ever visited a spot and the first item you ordered was so tasty you never try another item on the menu? The grilled chicken wrap with their green sauce @ The Kebab Shop had that affect with me. I've stopped in four or five times now and that is my go to item (add rice please). Each time the chicken wrap lands at my table I'm amazed it how big it is, I tell myself to be responsible and save half for later...that never happens. I always finish in one seating, so tasty. Yes, the price point is a little spendy. I feel the quality, freshness and serving size more than offset that.“

“This place is the best food for the best price. I've been. There when they are extremely busy and they still bring out the food at its best quality and in a timely manner. I highly recommend going family style if you have more than 2 people in your party as you get the best bang for your buck!“

“I have been coming to Panini Grill since the mid 2000's. I have been to at least five locations. The quality of every component of every dish is top notch every time. They have an excellent breakfast menu at this location and Park Place. I wish I had taken photos today because there were some gorgeous plates served today for brunch. Their entrees are always great. I have tasted chicken, koobideh, flat iron steak and salmon kabobs and all are great. You can get one chicken and one koobideh with rice and a salad for a reasonable price and it will last you for days. Salmon on top of a salad is also highly recommended. They accommodate large groups and have great service.“

“Lunch is $25.99 plus Hot Tea: $5.90; you only could order 4 dishes at a time and then “going on forever”, however, you should not have left-over, otherwise, a fine, I assumed. A few choices only available for dinner price($32.99). We ordered Skinny Dipping Cow; Karubi In Tokyo; Tried N True(Bulgogi, Tasty); Daa Pae Pork Belly; Surfin Shrimp(each order has 4 pieces); Winnie The Poohs Sn; Eight Firing Arms(spicy octopus, each order has 2 pieces). We enjoyed Bulgogi, shrimp and octopus more than others. Service was good and responsive.“

“The restaurant is the equivalent to Naf Naf Grill in other places, which cannot be found in California. It is located in a small shopping plaza where most businesses are super busy. It makes this one look very quiet in comparison. However the food is surprisingly good. After we ordered from here for the first time, we ordered again the next day.“

“In the urban heartbeat of the city lies a culinary treasure, The Kabob Shop. Since my discovery in 2019, it's been a gastronomic pilgrimage to the flavors of the Mediterranean and Far East. Their shawarma wraps, a personal indulgence, transport one to ancient bazaars with every bite.The Kabob Shop's artistry is unmistakable, from the vibrant tomatoes to the rich hummus, each bite a testament to authenticity. Their menu also celebrates the vegan wanderer, with offerings steeped in tradition.Their beverage fountain tells tales of distant lands, with craft sodas and iced teas reminiscent of exotic adventures. Seeking more than just a meal? The Kabob Shop is a journey, a taste of history and culture on a plate.“

“My husband and I can't wait to return. Both of our meals were delicious and very filling. I was able to make two meals out of my bowl! We tried the yogurt sauce and cilantro sauce and they were both delicious in their own way. What a gem of a place. I was also really impressed with how well kept it was. One of the employees was cleaning the baseboards. It reminded me that I needed to the same when I got home.“

“I've always appreciated the consistently good quality of their food. However, I have noticed a decline in the customer service recently.It's disappointing to see this aspect of the restaurant experience not meeting the high standards I've come to “

“I didn't snap any photos, I was that hungry. However, the food here is amazing as expected. I love Halal guys in NYC but the line in OC isn't nearly as long which makes it a win! Our food was finished pretty quickly and packed to the rim. I highly recommend Halal guys, they're the real deal. I love the white sauce & Tahini!“

“I went there last night on a rainy night and ordered 2 soups and their famous grill chicken. I ordered lentil soup and chicken soup. Both soups were very delicious. Their famous grill chicken was also very delicious. But I would also say their dishes were reasonably priced too. The portions were good too. I highly recommend them and would definitely go back.“

“We 12 of us went last night 3/30 from San Diego. The package was great, it came with salad, hummus, yogurt followed by khorsht ghoremh sabzi and rice, lubia polo. The manger was very pleasant and polite. All my friends loved the atmosphere and music was great. The singer had a good voice . Overall, we had a great time last night ! I totally recommend this restaurant.“
