We love Kebaba. I just heard you are closing on the 15th and am sad to hear this. One of my favorite spots in Bend.

One of the best restaurant on the west side of town. If you love Mediterranean food, or just don't dislike it, I cannot recommend this place enough. The spicy lamb on hummus appetizer is my all time favorite and is usually enough to completely fill me up.

I loved this restaurant!! The falafel was really fresh and crispy. The chicken shawarma was juicy and the side of fries were really crispy and the seasoning was so good. The chicken kebab lunch plate was awesome too!! If you are in Bend you should definitely try this !!

The food and service here is absolutely amazing. Best hummus in town. Amazing salads and bowls. Awesome cocktails. Kind and quick service— even when restaurants and their staff have taken an absolute beating in our town throughout COVID. They continue to feed us delicious food, sometimes once a week ? thanks y’all ?

The line at Spork kitty corner was very long so we opted for Kababa. A smart choice. I did detect a bit of attitude from the male guy tending the counter, but I chalked it up to everyone has an off day. Unfortunately, someone in our party who ordered after me said she got MAJOR bad attitude from said employee. We liked the cauliflower, it's not as charred as you might be used to. Falafel and hummus were standard, but the pizza-sized pita was a slight letdown. End your meal with a very good Turkish coffee. Prices are value, especially for drinks. Their outside seating makes it an appealing venue.

It’s been awhile since I’ve come here (moved out of the area). Always had good service and food in the past and was really looking forward to a nice meal. Had two of my clients with me. When we arrived, it wasn’t too busy, so were seated right away. Waited about 10 minutes until the waitress came by to take the order. Then, we waited another 45 minutes for the food to arrive (while the couple at the next table came in at the same time, ordered, had their dinner and dessert and left)! Had to ask waitress(es) on a couple occasions, for water. We were just about to get up and leave, when the food FINALLY ARRIVED. It was cold, the kebabs were totally OVERCOOKED and had to ask for the tzatziki for the kabobs on the one order. The pita bread was pitiful….tough and cold, like they tried to heat it up in the microwave. The lamb was way overcooked and tough to the point, it was not edible. The chicken kabobs were not much better. When I told the waitress my meal was not edible, she took it away and did not offer a menu or ask If I wanted something else. She DID say, that the “To Go / Online Orders” had them backed way up in the kitchen. I told her that, in my opinion, you should put the priority on the customers who actually made the effort to come down and dine in person, over the Online Orders. My one client got up to use the restroom, and was denied access for “Covid Reasons”. Since other customers were being allowed in I can only guess here – that my client was not allowed, for he is a person of color. Needless to say, I was less than pleased! We decided to forgo dessert and left. On the way home, we stopped for our baklava dessert at KEFI (another Mediterranean eatery) and I was able to order from them, my actual dinner, since the dinner I ordered at Kababa was not edible. For a customer to leave hungry, with an unacceptable meal and still PAY for a portion of that meal is not acceptable in my book. I’m really DISAPPOINTED, for this used to be a great little eatery with great ambiance. Speaking of ambiance, I think they should have a more appropriate background music track, other than hip hop and rap? Just sayin’…..People dine at your place for good food, good service and a dining experience that is appropriate with the ethnic cuisine you are serving. When the bill arrived (I was treating my clients, so I was paying the bill) she told me that she “knocked off 20 percent”. Doing the math, it wasn't. I still paid anyways. Like I said - It's so DISAPPOINTING to see a nice place go downhill like this. And for a customer to leave hungry? Unacceptable

Phenomenal meal tonight with even better service. If you haven't tried the curried tempeh salad, do it!

I love Kebaba. It's been a while since I was able to go but I saw that they offered delivery via Uber Eats so I ordered dinner as a treat during my 12hr shift at the hospital. The ordering process seemed straight forward but my delivery person called saying they didn't know what kind of salad I wanted even though I ordered a specific salad on the app. No big deal. I also got an order of hummus which the menu says comes with pita. If it didn't say that I would have happily added a side. So I got a huge tub of hummus with no pita? Do you actually think that's what I wanted? To top it off, the baklava I bought is comically small. It's literally like someone who hates me boxed this all up. It is YOUR choice as a business whether to use a delivery service. If you don't like it, don't offer it! But don't punish people who are trying to support your business.

This place is great. We were looking for someone that wasn't greasy. The quality and service of this place was unmatched on our trip. Will definitely be eating here again.

I had an average meal at this place for takeout. The falafel was incredibly over-salted, the tabbouleh was flavorless and the lentil soup had flavor but no substance - it's basically just broth. The babaghanoush was great. But overall I was hoping for much better, given the prices and small portions.

For vegan options, the falafel sandwich and the curried tempeh sandwich tasted great. Portion was right.

C- across the board. Falafel was dry & overcooked, meals came on huge beds of dry, oversalted rice. Salads were 90% romaine, and forgettable everything else, save the oversugared dressing. This is not cuisine, it is just a bunch of ingredients in search of balance, focus, and inspiration.

Seating for a large party was quick, the food was well priced and delicious, and on top of that the staff were so nice. We had someone with a severe nut allergy and even though our waitress could tell us which items did not have nuts, she still confirmed for that persons meal. Great experience overall
