About The Kebab Shop

The Kebab Shop is based on a concept popularized throughout Europe. Kebab shops are as prevalent there as burger joints are in the USA. If you've never been to a kebab shop in Europe, you'll have to stop in and experience what you've been missing. You'll find a delicious array of slowly cooked rotisserie meats and made-to-order grilled meats, seafood, and veggies. In addition, our 11 freshly prepared Mediterranean inspired salads and Crispy Falafel, Golden Fries and Saffron Rice will complement your cravings. Our menu appears deceptively simple but is purposely designed to provide you the freedom to decide exactly how you want your meal made. We offer all of this in a comfortable setting with courteous staff so you can gather with your family and friends and share a great meal together.

The Kebab Shop delivers a fantastic dining experience! I tried the falafel bowl with grilled veggies, and everything was spot-on. The falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside, while the grilled veggies added a nice char and freshness. The portion size was satisfying, and the overall taste was excellent. Definitely worth visiting for fresh and delicious Mediterranean food!

Good food served with a smile. The locations are fine, and the two I've eaten at so far appeared pretty clean. The atmosphere is pretty basic, but it works both indoor and out.

Just had to update. I have been anywhere loyal customer since my first review 2 years ago. I had to update with a recent experience on November 1st. I went in after 1pm to grab a late lunch as usual and noticed one family ahead of me and one customer using the self order tablet on the other side. Shortly after I was in line, a few more people showed up. There were 2 people on the hot line and one young lady at the counter. I immediately noticed she would jump from register to register to ensure guests were being cared for as quickly as possible, then she would swing into the hot line when her line was clear and help out. She did this back and forth the entire time I was there. Talk about multi-tasking with a smile. She was efficient and had amazing situational awareness, all with the greatest smile. Daniella (I hope I got that right) I truly meant it when I said you were doing an amazing job!

Great food and experience. First time ordering and the young lady taking my order was very helpful. Got the bowl with carved chicken. It was a perfect portion and perfect meat-rice-veggie ratio. Also the sauces were delicious. I couldn’t pick just one so I tried them all. I knew it was going to be great when I heard mi raza en la Cocina. Will be back!

The food is delicious and they were even able to re-make my order when I placed an online order for the wrong location. Unfortunately the website could use a bit of work as it feels a tad slow and I had to re-select the location many times during the checkout process which may have caused the mixup, but in the end they delivered!

Food is very good. Chicken was tender and juicy. Marinade had a lot of flavor. The salad was also good, could have used a little more dressing though. It took a little while to get the food but they cooked the chicken fresh when I ordered it. Price is a little high for the amount of food.
