If you are a Kebab (Barbeques meat) lover, where to go, other than Kebab-ji. you might pay more, but surely youl'll get the best food and service. You won't regret it.

Ordered take out, food arrived on time, but missing main item, the vegetables were 3 days old wilted lettuce, eggplant like a rubber ball, food unfresh and unedible. Very poor presentation of the meals requested. Prices were quite high for the meals. This resturant used to be a good one years ago but service and quality of food deteriorated significantly... More

Average tasting food comes at a high price. The portion is extremely small and if you plan to eat till you're full expect to pay 40$ minimum. The waiters will rush to open you a bottle of water when u sit down without you asking for it but instead of serving it on the house, they charge you for it.

This is a chain throughout the MIddle East, but don't let that fool you! I have lived in the Middle East for awhile, and this is by far the best hummus I have had! In addition, all the other menu items are very authentic. I do agree that it is a bit pricey, but the food really is great and... More

Kababji offers authentic Lebanese grill and mezzes. Not to confuse you can not compare to any Lebanese fast food diner as it offers authentic Lebanese food taste and they source the best food ingredients. If you are willing to compromise quality for quantity, Kababji might not be the best place to go to as the portions are small but you'll... More

The food here is relatively good. However, it is expensive considering the amount of food you get. You can pay the same amount as the top notch Lebanese restaurants. Locations are conveniently located and relatively clean. On the down side, service and honesty is relatively poor. Waiter will bring you a small plate of vegetables and then charge you for... More
