I got the Beef and Chicken Kebab combo, and it was awesome! I went for the chicken thighs versus breast and the meat was very juicy. The beef kebab was my favorite. The saffron rice was perfect and they gave really good portions. Additionally got the cucumber yogurt and mixed it in with the rice and it was so delicious! I would highly recommend this place to friends and family. Service was great and they brought out the food very quickly. I will definitely be coming back to try other things!

Food is awesome! Not only is food amazing but service is 5+. Very kind and welcoming! Also gave us a discount plus a goodie because it was our first time there. Highly recommend stopping by if you want authentic Persian bbq and experience!

I am not going to order anything from here anymore. The beef Kabobs were as skinny as a pencil and very overpriced. After spending $45 my friend and I were still hungry.

Real Kabob catered food for our party of 10. Everyone loved the food. Reasonable pricing. The house sauce was a surprising hit.

The quality is going down.The food was cold. Service was not as good as before. I asked them to make sure the food is hot. Unfortunately they didn't

The taste of the food was exquisite, every bite was a delight to my taste buds. The customer service was exceptional, the representative was attentive, and friendly, and went out of their way to help me with my inquiries.

Wow!! Just ordered from here for the first time and it was so good! We tried the beef, chicken thigh and lamb kabobs and everything was juicy and flavorful. There's also a lot of meat on the skewers so 1-2 skewers per person is more than enough. We will definitely be back as regulars!

Ordered food for the first time here from Uber eats. The takeout I received was huge and generous in portion! I loved the chicken kebob and beef kebob. The chicken was especially juicy and tender. The salad and rice that came with my meal was very generous. Will love to order from here again.

Discovering this gem through a simple Google search for Mediterranean food near me was truly amazing. I'm so glad I moved to San Jose, as I keep finding awesome spots like this just a short distance from my home. We absolutely loved the kabob plate - a mix of beef and chicken thigh kabobs. Everything from the juicy kabobs, quality rice, tasty dip, pita, and roasted tomato was just perfect. It seems like it's a to-go-only place, so you might want to find a nearby park for a nice outdoor meal. I'm definitely planning a return visit to try more dishes, and I'm even thinking about getting a kabob tray for an upcoming gathering. Can't wait!

This restaurant was recommended to me and since I love kabobs and Persian food in general, I thought I'd give it a try. I got the beef kabob with spicy mayo drizzle and Shirazi salad. Both were delicious!!! My friend got the chicken breast kabob plate and absolutely loved it. 10/10 will recommend to everyone!

Great for "to go" orders - kafta chicken combo is lots of food (enough for 2) and delicious

Wow I’ve been coming here for so long and the food remained to be the same as it was before! That was so good because I wasn’t sure what to expect since it’s been a while! The food is always full of flavor and it’s definitely one of the best Persian restaurants in the area! Highly recommended!

I didn't have time to take a photo since I was so hungry and just dug in but I ordered the lamb bowl and the eggplant dip and was so happy. I eat every last bit of it and feel so satisfied. It's comforting and fresh feeling food that is just so delicious. I got this as takeout and can only imagine it would taste even better fresh there. It is in a hole in the wall type place tucked behind the Encanto bar/lounge so it looks sketchy as the whole strip mall looks a bit run down. However, the place looks clean and smelled so yummy inside when you step in. Would definitely get more food here in the near future if I have another craving. So happy I tried out this place.
