Kebab

Consistent and I’ve been 3 times. Quality materials and great fresh food. Nice vibe in the place too. A Great Lunch option!!! Also it’s best fresh when they make it. Hot breads etc. I get it to go because I live pretty close but I def prefer it fresh made. Awesome nonetheless. I can’t get into the $ 30 plus lunches that seem to be the norm in New Orleans these so this is a nice meal for the price.

Kebab is kind of a mixed bag for me but one I ultimately like. I should preface this by saying that I love a good doner kebab. Particularly late night — I grew up with them and have fairly strong ideas about what they should be. While the kebab version is an upscale version at a good price point it is not my favorite. I find it overwhelmingly bread-​y and overall it is satisfying but not something I crave. I also wish they had a more traditional doner style lamb instead of the chicken and pork. I’m sure that would be more expensive but worth it. Falafel and fries are ok but nothing to write home about. Their liquor license is a welcome addition — interesting focus on cider but I was all in when I found out they would put rum in a young coconut for me.

This place is so dang good. I would highly recommend it. Apart from the delicious food, the atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed and they are even open late. I’d add this to the top of your Nola eats priority list.

I highly recommend the doner kebab and Belgian fries. I had a doner in Germany and this one closely resembled the one I had their in sight and taste. The fries were absolutely amazing along with the sauces.

Amazing fries (fried in bacon fat so how could they not be), & probably the best falafel I’ve ever had in my life. Flavorful, and not greasy at all. Their selection of sauces is delicious (I love the spicy cilantro in particular). Be sure to stop in during happy hour, and get rum in a coconut you get to pick out yourself. Warm & friendly staff, plus pinball. Seriously not a single negative to note about this place.

Pretty good sandwiches. We tried the Donner and Gyro plus an order of fries. The fries with both garlic aioli and a red pepper? sauce were great. The sandwiches were also good and served on a nice almost flatbread like herb sandwich bread.

Sandwich too small for 10 dollars. I read an article about this place and it focus on the flavor. The flavor was ok, standard at best. I had the Hero sandwich with pork, the pork was kind of dry and over cooked. Bread was good but definitely not worth the trip or the price. The only reason I didn’t give it 2 stars is because my wife said it was okay but I really didn’t like it.

I’m not gonna lie, the food and service were a lot better when the place first opened, but that’s saying something considering it’s still some of the best food in New Orleans. I’m a stickler for good service (since I work in the industry myself), and it can suck sometimes here. But honestly it’s so worth it this food is so f*cking good.
Doner Kebab — to die
FRIES — OMG
AOILI — YUM
Plus they’ll deliver fresh coconut water in the dang coconut to ur house it’s amazing

My second time having Kebab was a big disappointment over the first. I’ll start with the good: some of the best french fries that I have ever had in New Orleans. Outstanding. The sauces are good, and I like the mint tea. There’s a very limited menu, which is fine, if the options being served are good.
The bad is that what I ate recently was not good. The bread was cold and flavorless. It’s not quite pita, more of a ciabatta-​like bread, and it wasn’t good. And my kebab was filled with really gristly, chewy meat. Not enjoyable in the least. I’ve been spoiled recently by trips to Shaya and 1000 Figs and my visit to Kebab really left me wishing I was back at one of those places.
But I’d still go back for those fries.

Kebab is a great neighborhood sandwich spot that stays open late. You order at the counter where it is always a treat to have friendly service by happy people.
It is essentially a sandwich spot but their soups offered in the winter are amazing. The large sandwiches are served on homemade bread dressed with lots of sauce and interesting choices such as lightly pickled cucumbers, onions, beets and more. Of course gyro is usually the go to for middle eastern sandwiches, but their specialty is the chicken thigh döner kabob. Their falafel is excellent and I loved the charred edges of the sliced pork.
Besides the menu, be sure to check out their board offering specials like lamb or sausage or garlic feta puffs. Their meal deals with a side are about $ 10 and you do not want to miss their Belgium fries.
Besides their home styled delicious bread baked in a pizza oven, Kebab offers many other homemade delicacies … especially a great selection of luscious sauces … curry ketchup, coconut habanero hot sauce, cilantro, schug and tzatziki sauces plus a delicious garlic aioli served on the fries. I have frequently savored them all.
Even the selection of drinks is great with fresh coconuts that they crack open after you order them and they make spritzer — house made sodas like passion fruit or tangerine plus you can sometimes get ciders. With your Unilocal check in you get a free delicious mint iced tea and I like the fact that you can sweeten it with simple syrup.
Then their is the fun of being in Kebab! They have interesting art created by locals and a joyful old time pinball machine arcade.
Enjoy … The funtrepreneur

Don’t judge by its drab exterior! Walk into the hip and clean interior with a pinball arcade, funky music and fantastic food. The falafel was unlike any I have ever had. GIANORMIOUS sammich on super good bread, dressed with lots of sauce and interesting beets and more. The fries are a must too (homemade ketchup)! They also have an interesting beer selection which I’ll have to check out next time. I think next time I will ask them to go a little lighter on the sauce… although it was good I am not a heavy sauce guy. Do check out the aquarium theme bathroom while you are there… pretty creative I must say!
Come…eat…and leave happy and full! SO GOOD!

Ok, this is a great night get away with good sandwiches.
I personally like HOT sandwiches THESE ARE NOT MEANT to be this way … I found them to be delicious!!! Very personable staff… With a hands on owner!!!
I think it’s a real comfort food. A place visitors should try & locals to call a second home

BLUF: Average food but cool hipster/​dive atmosphere.
Been wanting to go here for a while. Finally went on a Saturday at 7pm but plenty of places to sit. Order at the counter. Staff was very hispter and def made some wise cracks at me (I am not a hipster). Thats okay. They were very nice though.
Limited menu; gyro, chicken, falafel, fries. I got the hero and my wife (this is actually my very first review as a married man as this was our first meal out as a married couple) got the chicken. Both were good but not amazing. They come on bread and not pita which is a nice spin. We split the fries which were great. I got a beer which their selection was limited but not standard beers so that was good and she got a homemade soda drink with gin which was pretty good. Prices are great and they are large portions.
The place is fun and interesting. Very very hipster. I am not a hipster so I was the one who stood out but it made it fun. The food is definitely good but not as good as any other Mediterranean style restaurant in town. I would go back in a heartbeat if I was in the area but I wouldn’t make special trip.
Fun, relaxing, easy but not a cullinary excitement.

I had high hopes coming to Kebab, after reading the great reviews! It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t amazing. Some things were good and some were just okay. The table got: 2 Gyro sandwiches, 1 Donner sandwich, 2 Hummus sides and 1 Falafel side, 1 Lemonade and 2 Iced teas.
The restaurant was out of the mint iced tea and their house sauce. They also don’t have anything but simple syrup available to sweeten the tea. The bread is really good, as was the falafel– it was the best part of the meal. The Gyro sandwich was also pretty good. The Donner sandwich was just okay– the chicken was bland. What was my main issue was the hummus. It was ice cold (most places serve it at a more lukewarm temperature) and just not seasoned quite right. Maybe missing lemon? It was not a bad meal by any means, just not the amazing experience I expected after reading the reviews. It was a decent meal and the prices aren’t bad.

I had really high hopes coming here after seeing so many great reviews, but unfortunately there was a little bit of a let down. I got the Doner Kebab with a side of falafel and my fiancé got the Gyro Kebab with a side of hummus.
Despite all of the toppings and condiments, the problem was the chicken itself. It was petty bland. I tasted the gyro, and that one was much more flavorful. The best thing we ate was probably the falafel. They were really good and packed a flavor punch. If I make it back here, I would probably try the falafel sandwich. The hummus was kind of disappointing. It was really cold and served with hot bread. It tasted as though it was lacking something and the cold temperatures was off putting.
The reason for losing the second star is that they were out of stuff. We checked in to get the free mint tea… no more mint tea. We read several reviews that mentioned the house made hot sauce… no more hot sauce. There also wasn’t any sugar substitutes to use to sweeten the regular iced tea.
In the end, I would eat here again, but probably wouldn’t make a special trip to do so.

I had read about this place and it sounded very good. My patience and dedication to trying it out was tested when I-​10 traffic slowed to a snail’s pace, followed by a lengthy search for a parking spot nearby. Approaching from outside, it looked kind of… ugly. I’m sorry, I really can’t think of a better word for it.
Anyways, I went inside and placed an order for their chicken sandwich. It came out on fresh bread and had a lot of mayo on it. I really don’t like a lot of mayo, but this was flavored mayo which made it more tolerable. I added their coconut habanero hot sauce and it was really, really good! The chicken was cooked perfectly, the pickled flavor of the veggies blended perfectly with the mayo/​mustard and chicken. Again, the coconut habanero hot sauce was soooo good, I’m gonna ask if I can buy a bottle next time. Since I wanted to try a couple things, I also ordered a side of falafel which came with hummus. The falafel was also delicious and the hummus was pretty good, although not the best I’ve ever had. The mint iced tea (free with Unilocal checkin!) was also very good, and I like that they provide simple syrup to use.
The service was super friendly and they take credit cards. The only annoyance I can think of is that it was hot outside today and inside it wasn’t much better. One VERY cool aspect: PINBALL MACHINES! I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I’ve actually seen an actual pinball machine, like in an arcade! This place has several, and the dude working was really nice about making change and telling me which machine offered cheaper replays. I will definitely come back to Kebab to try more of their menu and dominate at pinball.

KEBAB TAKE-​OUT TAKEAWAYS:
1. It’s really more a counter sandwich shop than Mediterranean.
2. The atmosphere is «boy cave» ramshackle, in an endearing way, as if 4 or 5 scruffy grad students decided to open a kiosk serving up a few sure-​fire favorites in their parents’ unairconditioned basement rec room.
3. The best bet is to get the meal deal with a side, all are about $ 10.
4. They don’t use Leidenheimer (huzzah!) and they hollow it out!
5. That chicken thigh sandwich with aioli and mustard is now one of my favorite sandwiches in town (up there with Parasol’s smoked pull pork, Melba’s fried shrimp, the surf and turf cheesesteak at Rick’s Grill, 1000 Figs’ chicken salad and Milk Bar’s «Shrimply the Best»).
6. The Belgian Fries are shareable and a «must get»; they’re perfectly crispy outside, creamy inside and drizzled with a thick garlic sauce.
7. Kebab has pinball!
8. But most tellingly, even 2 days later
I STILL GOTS THE ENVIES FOR DEM THIGHS!

Seems a lot of these bywater/​marigny restaurants have the same style of ordering. Much like Arabella (neighbors across the street) this spot is pay at the counter first, then food is brought to you. I’ve heard rave things about Kebab and it’s been in my bookmarks seemingly forever. Off the whim of a ridiculous decision to leave dinner from Arabella, we immediately decided to walk across the street to Kebab for a double-​up.
Of course the meal wasn’t eaten until much later. We pulled the double header because a guest was in town, and being i live in Mid City, there was no telling when i would be back in these parts to give this place a try. Something that could have easily gone several months before doing, so we did the gluttonous thing and, well, you know.
I ordered a gyro sandwich which was a nice size. I read another Unilocal review of someone saying there was not enough lamb in the wrap but i had no issue there. Perhaps they got their act together since, because mine was loaded with gyro. I even ate mine cold and it was delicious! I could only imagine how baller it is fresh and hot. I also got a piece of baklava just for the sake of it. I will say, it’s no Mona’s baklava so i doubt i’ll be going to Kebab for that. It wasn’t bad, it’s just not that good ol’ Mediterranean baklava i’m used to.
It was nice to knock Kebab off my list, i’ll certainly stop in for a try of more offerings.

Pommes sind ok.
Leider wird hier kein Kebab serviert. Aber das Brot mit Fleisch ist geniessbar.
Schmeckt durchschnittlich gut.
Was $ 4 oder $ 5 kosten sollte gibts hier um $ 10. Was mir auch nicht so gefaellt
Es dauert sehr lange bis das Essen kommt auch wenn man der Einzige im Restaurant ist.
Und irgendwer hatte die Schnappsidee Kebab und Gyros im gleichen Restaurant anzubieten. Das waehre in anderen Staedten/​Laendern keine gute Idee.
Ich were es in 3 Monaten wieder probieren. Vielleicht ist es dann Kebab, hat besser Oeffnungszeiten und dauert nicht so lange.
Danke fuer den Versuch!

Step inside to this wonderful food oasis! I stumbled in here with my husband one day for lunch and our taste buds have been begging us to go back ASAP!
Go to the counter and order. I recommend the falafel kebab. their falafel is excellent. I also enjoy the addition of the beets to the sandwich, unexpected but totally delicious. Don’t skip out on the fries. they are Belgian style and covered in a magical aoili. They will bring your food to your table. Or order to go. Or call in for delivery within a certain radius.
With your Unilocal check in you get a free mint iced tea, also very delicious.
Price point is very fair, for about $ 10 you can get a sandwich and fries. The décor is minimal, but it suits the restaurant. Don’t let the metal bars out front fool you, the people who work here seem very friendly and knowledgeable.
Bonus points: When we were here last they were doing an art installation with pieces being brought in by locals. Cool stuff.

Street Food?
Drunk Food?
Greek Food?
If you like any of these you will be pleasantly surprised by Kebab. They serve up some aggressively delicious grub.
Hip environment.
House made bread that will literally make you reconsider every life decision you’ve ever made.
Get the Pork.
I know, I know.
Sounds weird.
Get it.
Thank me later.
Also, get all the sauces.
Including the house made coconut milk habanero hot sauce.
Sweet.
Spicy.
Sinful.
I could take a bath in that stuff.
I want to go have some drinks right now so I have an excuse to stuff my face.
All in all, an excellent addition to the hood.
They will deliver locally.
That makes me happy.
