Casa Del Kabob

This place is a wonderful Persian gem off SW Military. Take a break from Don Pedro’s and open your horizon to Casa Del Kabob. You’re taste buds will thank you ten fold.
CDK offers house made yogurt sauce as a dipper for the pita bread, comes wiwhich tastes homemade as well. I had the lamb curry the first time with the green Lima bean rice. It came out piping hot, and I would have licked my bowl but the spoon was sufficient.
Next visit I brought a friend who picked up the Gyro lamb beef plate which was tender flavorful ribbons shaved from the pit. It was Friday during Lent, so I opted for a vegetarian option, the eggplant tomato casserole plate. I’ve never had a more decadent vegetable dish. Velvety and flavorful. Served steaming hot, which is so necessary, and many restaurants don’t get that these days.
Don’t be shy to the table side sumac, it is a ground berry spice that has the best tangy lemon flavor.
Thanks Casa Del Kabob, the lunches here leave us speechless.

We had lunch and it was delicious. My husband had the lamb shank which practically fell off the bone! I had eggplant stew, the beef was tender and yummy. Everything was fresh and the service was good. We will definitely eat here again.

Excellent service and food. We were hesitant to stop as place was not hoppong with patrons but we went due to the high reviews. Hubby had the lamb curry stew and I had the lamb Kabob platter. Good portions and amazing taste on both. Naan bread nice and delicate. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Would give 5 stars if the exterior looked a little bit welcoming. Next time in area we will defiantly be eating here again

Local hole in the wall type of food. Decent price, nothing extra ordinary, good for lunch. Will go there again.

Amazing! I have lived in the south side my entire life and have never eaten here, before. The food is so good, in typing this whole I’m eating!!!

I used to love this place, even brought coworkers for work lunches. But the last time I was there, I ordered the eggplant. The eggplant seemed old and bland. Worst of all, they served me microwave reheated flatbread. Are you serious!!! It’s like the cheapest part of the meal, and the easiest to do right. Who want’s microwave reheated bread?

Good food! I recommend the meat combo plate. You get to choose from a variety of meats and rice. I usually get the gyro and spicy pork meats with lima bean rice. I’ve never been disappointed.

The food here is authentic and Casa del Kabob has the best gyros in all of San Antonio. If you’re craving a gyro and tasty potato wedges, this place is worth a trip no matter what side of town you’re in.
Casa del Kabob is also reasonably priced, so you won’t feel robbed the way I do whenever I try gyros from other places.
The owner and his staff are all friendy and helpful. Since this place isn’t a chain restaurant or in the trendy part of town, you’ll rarely have to wait long for your food.

We walked into the restaurant when it was a kind of chilly and dreary day and once inside I felt warm and comfy. I didn’t know whether to order the beef/​lamb gyro or the pork gyro so the owner recommended the pork gyro. I ordered the green rice with Lima beans as the side order. We prob waited less than 5 min to get our food. The gyro was overstuffed with meat. I could have prob made two gyros with all the meat that was stuffed in my gyro. The meat was a little spicy but very good. Yummy! Needless to say I ate the whole gyro. Their tea was great too. It had a fragrant flavor. I really don’t know how to describe the flavor but it tasted great. I kind of thought the hummus was kind of salty but my husband loved it (and he’s picky with his hummus).
As for appearance, the restaurant was really clean. I liked the ambiance.
Overall, this is a great place to eat. I’d definitely eat here again! Yummo!

The food here is delicious! We usually have Greek on the northwest side of town but today we came across this place and thought we’d give it a try. My kids had lamb gyros which they devoured, my husband and I had the eggplant and tomato casserole, it was delicious! As for my husband and I we had the grilled vegetable plate with a choice of meat and double salad because we didn’t want rice. We will definitely go back again.

Very, very good food. Clean. Great prices. Had the Kobbideh again, fresh, sizzling and so tasty. My friend had the gyro with lentil rice and she was not disappointed. A hidden gym on the south side.

After a return visit to this very unique restaurant, I am definitely ready to award them with more stars! I feel confident that I’ve found the perfect order plate, though there is still one thing I have not gotten to try that I am holding onto for next time: the steak kabobs. So far, I would call the combo plate the best meal deal, and the perfect order is with gyro lamb beef and the (spicy) pork, black eyed pea rice, and the side salad. I also enjoyed the philly cheese steak wrap for something different, and since the steak in it was delicious, I’m assuming the kabobs would be too!
I’m already planning my next visit (which might be tonight)! So glad I moved closer to this place!
My Unilocal rating system:
5 stars= Driving across town just for this!
4 stars= I would recommend visiting.
3 stars= Average, acceptable, positive.
2 stars= You might be able to drag me in.
1 star= I will definitely not be returning.

Thank you Unilocal!!!You’ve led me to another great whole in the wall with authentic taste from another country.
Trying the lamb kabob plate, & vegi kabob plate
Both come with rice, peta, salad.
The mushrooms & house made yogurt sauce are to die for!!!
Inside the décor is just as authentic as the food they serve.
The owner is on site and still cranking out the food with a team of younger guys… Great lunch. Well deserved 5 stars.

The food is amazing, flavorful, and delicious! This restaurant serves Mediterranean food and Persian food. For this review, I will be covering what I consider Mediterranean food, since I didn’t try the foods specifically listed as Persian and have no distinct Persian experience to reference.
I tried the chicken kebabs, gyro meat, lamb shank, and lamb kebabs. The meat was moist and flavorful. The spices uses were evident in the taste, unlike other places that don’t have a similar full bodied flavor. The lamb shank was «fall off the bone» soft, juicy, and perfect in temperature.
The food took about 10 min and you just pick it up when they ring a bell. You order food at the front, like a cafeteria. The meal comes with pita bread and yogurt/​garlic/​cucumber dip. The bread tastes fresh and soft, while the dip has a creamy fresh flavor, a hint of garlic and cucumber. Not as strong as the Greek tzatziki.
A small side salad and choice of three rices are available. I chose the green lentil one, which was a punch of delicious flavor. The black eyed peas one was also very delicious, though more hearty.
The only sadness I experienced was the baklava, which did not taste homemade. I would not recommend ordering it.
An assortment of pickled garlic and drinks were available. I tried the regular yogurt drink and its taste was similar to a liquid, salted cottage cheese.
I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves competitively priced, authentic, Mediterranean food.
