Kabab Je Rotisserie & Grille

Excellent place where everything is fresh and home made, all at good prices. I got kafta with the cucumber salad on the side. The garlic dip made it perfect.
This is very much a family owned and run place. The manager (or owner) was running a very tight ship, making sure all customers are taken care of. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The environment has that has that private restaurant feel, unlike the many chain restaurants. Makes me feel right at home like my favorite places in Chicago or NYC and not in a strip mall.
I highly recommend this place, and I for sure will be a regular here.

This is a terrific restaurant. We went there yesterday and everything we ordered was terrific. We also had the best service I have had in a long time. You can tell that the employees are passionate about the food they serve, which is very unusual. Highly recommend if you like Mediterranean food!

Service was excellent
Food was delicious
I ordered Chicken Kabob, Tabouleh, Hummus — everything was clean, food delicious and service on point– I will be back soon

Yes, yes, yes! This place is worth every penny and every minute you spent traveling to get here. Do yourself a favor and head over here tonight.
We’ve each had something different every time we’ve been and have not been let down.
Another note — everyone is super friendly. Honestly, this is a five star experience with two star prices.
Go! What are you waiting for?

Ladies and gentlemen, you need this pita bread in your life. It’s actually a moral imperative at this point to hoof it on down to Matthews and experience it because, if you haven’t, you are truly doing yourself a disservice!
But it’s not just pita bread that makes this place great – it’s the kebabs, the shawarma, it’s the you-​pick-​four vegetarian plate that filled up even my crazily carnivorous tummy! Everything I’ve tried here has been well-​seasoned, expertly prepared, and served hot and heaping by some of the funniest and friendliest waitstaff I’ve ever encountered. The staff and the owner seem to be truly passionate about making sure diners have a great first impression of Lebanese cuisine. I was hooked from the first bite and have never been disappointed as I’ve worked my way through a fair bit of the menu.
Highlights for me are:
***the baba ghanouj and tabouleh (authentically awesome)
***the fresh pita bread (remember, moral imperative)
***fried cauliflower (never a better way to eat cruciferously)
***a second basket of pita bread (because you will be fighting your fellow diners for it at some point – so awkward!)
*** mixed grill (order the lamb kebab like you do your steak so as not to risk drying out the deliciousness)
***shawarma hummus plate (you will have leftovers, just don’t forget the pita bread!)
***spicy potatoes (the sexy, exotic version of home fries)
***date bar or pretty much any pastry in the case (really can’t go wrong here)
Things to know:
***the inside dining space is small, so if you have issues with personal dining space, best sit outside if the weather permits
***the mixed veg blend served with entrees is different than most places (seasoned blend of carrot coins, celery, onion, and green pepper) – some folks complained about this, but I thought they were delicious and a refreshing change
***the restaurant is busy, so get there early for dinner
***parking is at a premium in this busy shopping center so be prepared, but it’s worth it!
Enjoy, folks! Pita Bread for President in 2016

Giving this place 5 stars for service, promptness, and Southern kindness. Went with 3 other coworkers absolutely starved, and we were greeted kindly and sat immediately. The menu was more extensive than I was expecting, haven been to a number of Mediterranean places in Charlotte with limited menus. We ordered two eggplant dip appetizers, both wonderful, and the accompanying pita tasted fresh.
We ordered a mix of dishes, myself choosing a meat pita sandwich, which I found too large to finish but had good flavor and relatively fresh-​tasting ingredients.
I’d give 4 stars for the food, but an overwhelming 5 for the staff’s service. I’m not sure my tea ever got below half a glass without having a prompt refill.

Did I eat at a different restaurant than all these posters?
We drove out here for lunch from Huntersville and were both disappointed with our meals. I ordered the chicken skewers and he had a wrap with fries. My chicken was gummy and hard to eat. The vegetables on my plate were a joke — carrot coins? onions and celery? How cheap can you be? After a couple pieces of chicken, I gave up on my plate all together. He didn’t finish his wrap either. The only good part of our meal was the hummus and warm pita to start. Our waitress was pushy and seemed inexperienced. She dropped off our menus and came back with water asking for our orders. Not only was the food not good it was expensive for what it was. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Rarely does Unilocal lead me astray.

Authentic Arabic and Lebanese cuisine! Being vegetarian, we ordered the Veggie Plate, falafel sandwich, Spicy Potatoes and Cheese Manakish. The food was great and we were well taken care of by our waiter. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

I came here because I was on a falafel kick, but what keeps me coming back is the hummus meat Schwarma (the chicken is fine, but the lamb/​beef combo one is where it’s at) plate. Totally shareable and everything else while very flavorful, will pale in comparison. It’s a taste I never knew I needed in my life. Word of warning, the pita wraps are good, but have a lot of pickles. I like pickles, but the filling is typically about half pickle and it’s an intense pickle experience. The eggplant dip was very good… still trying everything on the menu– but if you don’t try that hummus meat Schwarma, you are missing out. Any time I get it, the table next to us is like, «Oooh, what’s that?»
I have also never had bad service here.

Favorite restaurant! Everything I have had there is great. I recommend the mixed kabab entrée, chicken kabab, or the salmon ones. I always order a double serving of rice instead of the veggies–
Great service, fresh food and great atmosphere.

The service here is awful! They messed up our order 3 times while I was dining with friends and family. The food is lacking flavor. Sure the pita oven draws people in and it’s great bread but the meat dishes are awful.
My kebabs… All three were burnt and dry. The server was aloof, and the food in the counter looks like they dumped it out of a can. I tried the tourshe, and it was gross.
I won’t be coming back. I prefer flavor and quality more than anything. Prices are way off… By at least 2 $ a dish.
There was no follow up from the server after the 3 mistakes, which makes me not want to come back ever. I’m happy to eat elsewhere. Unfortunately true Mediterranean is not here at this place and needs major revamping.

Had a very poor experience here. First off, the server forgot one of our appetizers and it actually went to another table. Salad was soaked with oil:/ the server had forgotten plates and utensils, so we waited 13 minutes for that before we started our appetizers.
Next, we finally got our food. We questioned if it was 2 chicken kebabs or if it was something else… because both were labeled differentlt.
We questioned the server to make sure we got the right food… he actually picked up the sandwich and squeezed it with his hand… touching it. What the heck!!! Then said oh its chicken. At this point he was crappy towards us so I spoke up and said please make another one because u touched the sandwich with ur hands. I mean would u eat it after it was touched?
Our adana kebab was burnt literally burnt and dry. We were so frustrated that we didn’t return it.
For four people, it was way overpriced. We had a very unpleasant experience and will not be coming back.
Perhaps for people who don’t know real Mediterranean food, this is good. They didn’t take anything off the bill, not expecting them too, but the food was way off par:/ touching the food and not offering an apology, not cool!
We prefer another hole in the wall place where the food is on point and about half the price. First and last time eating here.

Yes 5 stars!!! They are that good! Everything we ate was flavorful and delicious! From hummus/​pita bread, salad and fried cauliflower, to Lamb, Chicken, and Lamb/​Beef Kababs on a bed of delicious yellow rice w/​veggies! I mean, seriously… too good to make sense! A definite «Visit Again» spot for sure! Thank You for amazing food and excellent service! Andrew our server was awesome! My tastebuds and tummy was well pleased.

Wow… this is the best Lebanese Middle Eastern restaurant in the Queen City. This was my fourth trip here and each one is better than the last! It is set in a strip mall in Matthews but dont let that fool you… it is AUTHENTIC Great food! We had the Fatoush Salad. Fresh and covered with Extra Feta we ordered. We had the Fried Cauliflower that was drizzled with tahini, We also had the Moutaba, which is the outstanding smoked eggplant dip. so good I dream about it! And to finish it off we had a Manakish Zaatar, which is a Flatbread topped with Zaatar and cheese, also outstanding!. All of this food is so fresh and prepared right for you. The Servers are polite and efficient and helpful ! I have pictures for you too. I am telling you– Go here and try it, you will love it !

Love this place. The food is good & packed w/​flavors.
Their customer service is AWESOME starting w/​the owner who personally greets & checks on every table.
I highly recommend this place.

I will start off by saying that I am SO disappointed that it has taken me this long to find this delicious food! My husband and I happened to be in the plaza, I looked up another restaurant on my trusty Unilocal!App and saw that I had bookmarked this place. So, we decided to give it a try!
We started with the hummus and pita bread and it was fantastic. Perfectly flavored, the fresh pita bread compliments the hummus wonderfully.
I am somewhat of a picky eater, so I went with the grilled chicken kabobs, fries and added grape leaves for my husband to try. With the first bite, I knew we were in for a treat. The chicken is hands down the best chicken dish I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Perfectly seasoned, fresh and delicious. My husband demolished his food in record time, which is always a good sign.
The atmosphere was excellent. We loved looking in the glass cases to see the different food options and watching them fire up the pita bread before serving it. The service was probably the best we’ve had at any restaurant in Charlotte!
Atmosphere
Service with a smile
Delicious food that I’ll be dreaming about
Try it — you’ll like it!

Their fresh baked pita bread is to die for. We always try to eat in because of that. Their kebabs are always done just right and portions are generous. We love their lamb and babaganoush (moutabel) but hot appetizers (kibbeh plate in particular) are also on a par with those we used to get in NYC.
Overall, very pleased to find a decent mediterranean restaurant here in Matthews NC. We will be frequenting this place for sure.

They make the best pita bread I have ever placed in my mouth. It is so good you can eat just the bread by itself.
And the beef kebabs… Religious experience. I love this place. I will visit here every time I fly in from now on I think.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would scarf again.

Incredible hummus and bread, very tasty grape leaves. Beef/​lamb shawarma plate for me, chicken for the wife. Both were excellent but I liked the chicken a little better. I’m not a big red meat eater… unless it’s bacon :-) Took baklava, pistachio baklava and date thingy home for dessert. All were excellent.
Sat in the back near where the food was picked up. Waiter Mahmoud (sp?) was very attentive and polite. Owner stopped by a couple times also. He apologized if it was too noisy where we sat but we thought it was great. It was like a meal with a show, and we were in the middle. He keeps his staff on their toes running that restaurant like a well oiled machine. We will be back for sure.

Date night!!!
Couldn’t have possibly been any better.
It was packed the night we went. We waited about 10 minutes and got a small table way in the back.
We looked over the menu and picked 4 small items.
Every member of the staff we encountered was extremely friendly. The food. It. Was. Amazing.
Every bite was perfect. This is my new favorite restaurant. We will definitely be back. Very soon.

Great place!!! Excellent food and service!!! Love it!!!
