Kabab House

Rude staff
Bad place
Bad costumer service
Never go there again
Never recommend to any one

Very solid middle eastern food. As my father in law says, «this is the most accurate version of a beef kabob that you would find in Iraq.» The service is also excellent with very warm owners willing to make your experience as enjoyable as it should be.

I went in for a carry out lunch combo. It took 20 minutes, which is silly since there were only two other tables seated. Instead of cooking food in batches, each order was cooked then served one at a time. The service was rather absent. The combo was supposed to come with soup or salad but I was not asked which one I preferred or given the choice.
The food was so-​so. A friend of the cook came in and my kebab ended being burnt. My pita wasn’t warmed up like it was for the other customer’s food I watched being prepared. The cook also spoke on a customers cell phone while preparing my food and didn’t wash his hands afterwards. Falafel was great, though.
The dining area and kitchen seemed clean and nice enough but for the average quality of the food and the cold shoulder I felt i was receiving, I won’t be going back.

Best Iraqi food I have had in the US. THE KOBAB PLATE is very authentic. I am going back very soon

This place is one of my favorite places. I love all their food specially the Kabab which I think is the best comparing to any other kabab I have eaten in different restaurants. I also love their bread which tastes amazing with the kabab and my favorite part is the tea that they give you after you are done with your food. The owner is super nice and staff are friendly.
I would recommend this restaurant to every one because when you go eat there once, you will never stop :)

Their beef Shawerma is the best!

This may not be the prince of the middle eastern restaurants on far north Lincoln Avenue, but it’s better than a 2.5 average. To order takeout is inevitably an awkward service experience, for a few reasons, but mainly because of the layout of the restaurant: there is no clear-​cut ordering counter, just an open kitchen and a dining room separated by a display cooler containing produce (for storage, not sale). So you can stand near the kitchen, uncomfortably close to the staff preparing your food and conducting other business, or you can pick a spot somewhere in the dining room – impossibly awkward if there are diners sitting at the tables. Your best bet is to stand outside or sit in your car.
And you will have to wait a while because they make the food to order from scratch. Of course, that is preferable for most people. I’d rather wait a few extra minutes for fresh food myself. It is gratifying to see them back there forming falafel balls and putting skewers of raw meat on the grill.
The food is mostly pretty good. The wraps are full of crisp vegetables (not too much lettuce) including red peppers, a nice touch. Their babaghanouj is a fine example of the chunky, smoky variety that really scratches my babaghanouj itch (yes, it’s an affliction).

4 stars it is
I’ve had food from this place on many occasions and for the most part, I’m very satisfied
The best thing out of this place is Beef Kabob and Fish dinner, I don’t like much chicken and don’t think the owner cares much for chicken so maybe you shouldn’t get the chicken
so why did I knock 1 star away, nope it’s not because this place doesn’t look great but consistency is a problem and the patcha was below average
would I go again? yep I will do it again

Chicken shawerma is good!

There are a couple of ways to get authentic Iraqi food, this is the safer way. I don’t know who listed this as an Afghani restaurant, there’s a big Iraqi flag in the place, and some pictures of Iraq, and Iraqi choices on the menu. No wonder we have so much trouble winning wars nowadays. I highly recommend the fried fish, very tasty. The décor is laughably inappropriate, an ugly kind of neon diner ambiance, but the service is friendly, the food is cheap and tasty, and it’s not at all dangerous. Open late.
