Kabob Grill

Kabob grill used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte with it unique feel when you came inside to the authentic staff serving the food. This time when I came in, the décor was much slicker and modern which was still nice and had more of a club type feel. I am assuming to keep trends with other restaurants in the neighborhood. I was astonished at the price increases for their lunch menu! I am not opposed to paying a higher amount for the food but want a good «value» for the experience etc. the main reason I gave the restaurant 3 stars was because I asked for some olive oil to put on my rice and they kept avoiding me asking for it which I thought was extremely weird. They finally came out to say they were «out.» What Mediterranean restaurant would you go to that was out of one of the main ingredients in their food? On the menu, at least ½ of the items contained it, so I wondered what did they use in lieu of olive oil. That made me a little nervous considering a lot of times we think we are putting something healthy in our bodies but it could be something completely different.

I had to dock a star for the unreasonable lunch prices. I can literally get 2 lunch chicken shwarma plates with lentil soup at Jasmine’s for the price of 1 lunch chicken shwarma plate (no soup or rice included) at the Kabob Grill. Prices have gone up a lot since I’ve been here last. I do have to admit, the quality of food is good here. You can order salads without worrying about wilted lettuce. The falafel wrap I had today was a good size, though I’d rather pay about $ 7 – 8 like I used to. Needed salt. They have done a nice remodeling job to give the place a more modern look, looks much better now.

I have enjoyed going to this restaurant many times in the past, but today was an entirely different experience. They seemed to have recently changed their décor to a more upscale feel and jacked up their prices as well, although the menu and food is exactly the same. For example, now a side of rice costs $ 5. Or $ 6 for a side of hummus. That, in my opinion, is nuts. Add in the unfriendly and inattentive wait staff (also a new thing), and I don’t think I’ll be returning. Too bad, because this place used to be a gem.

Unless you have money to just throw in the wind, this Mediterranean joint is not worth your time — or your money. For $ 36, we got two shawarma wraps and sides of falafel. For $ 3 extra, you can swap the side of fries the wraps come with for any other side. Sweet deal? Not even close. What we got is two sad, over cooked pieces of falafel. The wraps were just so-​so — protein was, again, over cooked. Seeing a theme here? Seriously, if you’re looking for authentic flavors and don’t mind the drive, La Shish Kabob is worth your time and is easy on your wallet. It doesn’t have the ambiance you’re paying for at Kabob Grill, but you won’t walk out as angry as we just did.

This place is absolutely amazing! The owner was extremely kind & not to mention the food was fresh, hot & full of flavor.
I came there for lunch with my sister & co worker. I’m very familiar with Mediterranean food but my co worker was not so the owner explained the food & gave suggestions based on what she liked.
My co worker had her infant son and he cooed & played with him, asked us questions so the baby could eat too … suggested lentil soup which was puréed & the baby loved it. When he brought out the soup he made sure to put an ice cube without us even asking. Genuinely a nice man! The ambiance was relaxed & beautifully renovated I’d recommend this place to anyone that loves good, fresh Mediterranean food.
I had chicken kabob w/​sides: Omar salad & cucumber yogurt! Delicious!!!

I waited maybe 7 minutes between walking in, ordering and walking out the door. It was Friday at about 5:30 pm if that helps.
My falafael wrap was so yummy. The bread was amazing. People say it’s over priced but $ 6 gets you a dry flavorless falafel with a fucking hard ass pita and iceberg lettuce and mushy tomatoes. I am not down with that.
With my delicious Falafael I got the potatoes with olive oil and red pepper. Oh my F-​ing goodness!!! They are so delicious. They were cooked perfectly. They are not supposed to be crispy like french fries. I would eat them all the time if there wasn’t so much oil. I loved the oil I just couldn’t do it more than 2x a month. So good though. If you don’t care about health or your diet allows them that day, you should definitely get them haha!!!
The lentil soup was eh… Okay. Maybe I’m used to Lebanese lentil soup but I like chunks and cumin seed in mine. This was blended smooth. Small but lentil soup is kind of a things to me. Haha.
I highly recommend. It’s about $ 20 for one person and I ate it all in one sitting so the portions aren’t monstrous. Good luck!

We were here for the first time about 2 years ago with some friends and the food was excellent. Tonight that was not the case. Potato Harra was really good. Salad was almost all cilantro. Mixed kabobs were extremely dry I couldn’t tell the difference between the steak and lamb but the chicken was really good. I think it’s a new cook and food was hit or miss.

Ordered take out to pick up.
Two salads w a protein, and an appetizer portion of hummus. No drinks. $ 38 freaking dollars.
I thought once I got it home I would be wowed. I said WOW alright. Wow, what a joke.
Chopped lettuces w chopped tomato, cucumber and onion with a pathetic kabob. The kabobs were a skinny skewer of 5 pieces of 1“x1″ lamb or chicken that was overcooked. Yes, you read that right. 1″ sq.
The hummus had little taste, but perhaps it was because I had such a bad taste in my mouth from being ripped off.

Enjoyed Nabeel salad. The kabobs were good. Im used to having a more meat with kabobs at ither places but the taste was delicious

I went there this weekend and ordered a chicken sharma. It was well seasoned but it had way too much sauce on it. It still tasted better then a lot of other ones that I have tried in Charlotte. A little over prices (should be around $ 6 but its around $ 9) which is over priced.

I love kabob grill. Everything I have ordered (which has been pretty much the entire menu) is amazing. The entire staff is friendly, and helpful. I visit kabob grill at least three times a week.

Being my first time I decided to go somewhat basic, but also pick something based on reviews I read and photos.
I ordered pickup, chicken kebab dinner with Omar’s salad and potatoes. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and moist, the best part of the meal. The salad, unfortunately had way too much cilantro for my taste I couldn’t even eat it and the potatoes were good, but some underdone and very greasy. I will blame some of that on the fact it was a to go order.
The service was just okay, while I waited for my food, and I thought it was a little pricey for the portion. Not sure I would return anytime soon.

Stopped in for lunch and was very happy with all of the foods had. Hummus, chicken Kebob with falafel and their potato side. So delicious! I would totally go back there! Tried my husband’s lamb Kebob and it was also very tasty. Love the spice combinations and flavors. Definitely a place to visit again. Only problem was the parking. They are currently doing something to the Parking lot so it was tough to find a spot.

I love this place!!! The falafel salad is amazing, plus the portions are huge! They have daily lunch specials which usually range from $ 7-​$ 9. They also do takeout. The hummus is another good pick and is homemade. It’s very creamy and served with pita and veggies. Yummy!

I used points from my employer’s reward program to purchase a restaurant dot com gift certificate ($ 10 for $ 20) I’m in the area frequently; Smoothie King, Harris Teeter, Menchie’s… but Kabob Grill escaped me, so when I googled the location I was pleasantly surprised I didn’t have to travel out of my way :) I was also pleased with the food. I ordered one each Beef and chicken Kabob Wrap and a side of basmati rice (which I could have eaten by itself it was very good!) The taste of the kabobs were excellent, I enjoyed the flavor of the hommos. I believe the Pita Wraps were priced within value. I will definietely return to try the entrée portions but the price point seems a bit high.

A small clean restaurant that is reasonable in price. The food was good and the servers both very helpful. The kabob was tasty the salad delicious and refreshing. The hummus and pita (once I asked them to warm it) was perfect for the price.

My wife and I were in the area and decided to give the place a try. You will miss it if you blink and not familiar with the area but once you have tried the food you will remember its location. Quite small on the inside but warm and welcoming. Service was fast and pleasant many repeat customers. We tried the kebab and lentil soup. Both were full of genuine flavor. You can tell time, love and authentic experience goes into the flavor and selection. When I say flavor we enjoyed the freshly cooked lamb, chicken and veggies that had its owe unique flavor that when combined were enjoyable. We will return to try other create combinations.
Take time to review the menu if you can to familiar yourself as the place is busy.
Inexpensive delight worth the return.

Loved everything
Fresh food and friendly people
What else could you want
Can not wait for the next round

Found this place off Unilocal and decided to try something new, diff, and just not fried!
The inside is actually kinda cozy. The food was a little foreign at first as we were not sure of some of the names. However the waiter was polite and personable and didn’t mind explaining our questions.
We had lentil soup, Omar salad, and rice with lamb meat! Everything was absolutely delish! The colors were amazing to look at which made it that much more fun and enjoyable to eat.
They have all kinds of foreign beer. We are from Ukraine originally and when we seen that they actually have the obolon beer it felt just like home! Loved this place and wish we didn’t live all the way in SC or this would be our regular!
Oh and at the end they gave us a complimentary desert and thanked us for stopping in! Loved it!

So, I’m mixed about this place.
It’s a perfect lunch spot – relatively quick, healthy and conveniently located in Dilworth. However, it’s a tad overpriced for what you get, which I assume can be attributed to the location and rent.
They have a decent menu of salads, pita wraps, entrees, appetizers, etc. including lunch special combos that are all about $ 9-​$ 15. If you want just a pita wrap with no sides it’s $ 7.50 and only available until about 5 pm. I opted for the two kabob and two side special which after tax, tip and no drink was about $ 13. A little expensive for a casual place and to think that I could go to Savor or 300 East instead and spend the same thing is a little disconcerting.
Price aside, the food was pretty good. I got two chicken kabobs with Omar’s salad and falafel. The portions were ok, and I was just full after finishing my plate. For $ 13 though, I could have gotten 2 meals out of a lunch place elsewhere.
The falafel and tahini was my favorite part of the meal. They were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The salad had a little too much oil for my liking and spread all over the plate making my chicken soggy.
The chicken was decent, not as flavorful as I would have expected.
I was impressed with the beautiful presentation of the plates and with how fresh all the ingredients seemed to be. The service was just okay and it took longer than I would have liked to pay and get the checks, especially during a workday lunch.
I think I’ll return to this place just because it is really the only decent lunch spot convenient in Dilworth that offers authentic Mediterranean fare.
