Not sure how they got the ratings they did but food tasted like unseasoned bland cardboard. Rice tasted bland & the chicken was rubbery. This is NOT REAL MEDITERRANEAN FOOD. Sorry.

My family is from Turkey and I have gone back to Istanbul at least 20 times in my lifetime, so I feel I know Turkish food pretty well. Additionally, my parents owned a similar little Turkish eatery in CA where I grew up. I have had terrific food in NYC but when moving to Tappan recently, I was in search for a good Turkish meal. I've tried at least 10 places in Ft. Lee and the surrounding area and KEBABCI WEST, while not the fanciest decor, is definitely the best, most authentic, fresh Turkish food around. IGNORE ALL 1 and 2 STAR REVIEWS. The owner/chef is delightfully friendly, as you would expect in the famously hospitable Turkish tradition. I've eaten almost everything on the menu with no complaints at all so I recommend ordering anything you see that intrigues you. It will be well prepared and generously served.

I had the privilege of having the Kebabci West cater my wedding back in June of 2023. The food was absolutely incredible. The meats and appetizers that they served us were delicious! Turan and his staff are great and they did an amazing job catering our wedding. The catering menu provides great variety and high-quality foods. Would recommend for in-house dining and catering services. Thank you from Daniel and Nicole

The food is really delicious and fresh. I got the white bean salad which was so flavorful and healthy.Vegetarian options: The salad are all veg and all good. They also have falafel and some other veggie appetizers.

Absolutely the rudest people i have ever dealt with. No customer service training or respect towards customers. I never leave bad reviews but the way they dealt with me was unacceptable. I ordered online and the site charged me $8 extra because i was “ out of preferred range”, i accepted it no problem, and then i also left a $14 tip. I received a call from them, telling me im too far to come pick it up. I had to explain to them 7 times i cant pick it up, and i was charged extra to get it delivered . If you cannot deliver past a certain radius then DO NOT charge people extra?! To then call them, and be extremely disrespectful as if it’s their fault. The manager yelled at me for 5 minutes until he said he’ll just get my food delivered and to “never order from them again”, after i told him if you don’t want to deliver it, then just refund me my entire purchase including the delivery fee. Makes sense, no? He then thought he hung up in my face right after yelling, and then continues to scream with the driver. When the driver came, he was a bit more respectful but still tried to blame me that the order printed by them and they don’t deliver further than 10 minutes away. I told him please take it up with your website provider to fix this issue so you don’t face this with other customers and yell at them. He told me “that’s not the point” and i just took the food and told him to take care. Goodbye! All this for the food to be mediocre. Dear manager, i will definitely not be ordering again because you have a poor system, you’re beyond disrespectful to customers and cannot take accountability for YOUR lack of structure!!!!
Food was so fresh and delicious! The lunch special was just enough food but if you're hungry I suggest getting an appetizer as well. The owner is very friendly and funny! Great spot for take out. Will definitely be ordering again!

Some of the best lamb I’ve ever had in my life. Seriously. Do not miss out on the dessert with shredded wheat and honey.

It's ok...nothing bad or anything special, but the flavors are just too Americanized compared to authentic turkish I had in Istanbul.

Food is amazingly fresh and we loved it...had a Gyro platter, chicken platter, zucchini pancake and salad...all were awesome!! Only 2 complaints, both minimal, were pricing and their White sauce. Pricing quite high ($20+/dish) but lunch has a special $15.99/dish.... upside is they give a good portion and food is fresh...White sauce is NOT Ttraditional Tsatziki Cucumber sauce and seems to have a mint after-taste... I prefer traditional but it was definitely edible!!!I highly recommend but understand a little pricier than expected....
Good service
