The Kebob House

They had pretty good food and even thought we walked in kind of last minute and they had a huge take out order, they still served us. Pretty happy.

Looking forward to trying this place for quite some time, but have to say it was unfortunately mediocre. I ordered the eggplant appy but they said they did not have it which was disappointing. So I ended up ordering both yogurt dips which were bland, and the pita was stale. The koobideh (ground beef) was decent, but the barg (steak) and Joojeh (chicken) were both dry and overdone. The portion size was the same as other Persian restaurants and prices are too. I probably will not return as there are by far superior Persian restaurants around!

Good kebob, large portions and great price too. $ 7 for a huge plate of beef kebob and rice. Will go back again. The plaza always have parking too.

Not a bad place to go for kebobs. I had the Soltani combo which comes with 1 skewer of Koobideh & 1 of Barg, a generous helping of rice, and a grilled tomato. I also ordered a tea.
The koobideh is basically ground beef with herbs smooshed around a long skewer and then grilled, it was good and my favorite of the meats. It was quite moist and tasty. The barg is a beef steak grilled on a skewer, it was quite dry and not flavorful at all. Perhaps next time I’ll get one of their appetizer dips to go with it?
Like most Persian restaurants, there was a heaping serving of rice that was cooked quite well. I was also given a small packet of butter with my meal and I wasn’t really sure what to do with it, was it supposed to go on one of the meats or the rice?
I wasn’t a big fan of the tea. It was nice a warm, and I got a little sugar bowl with sugar cubes which I loved ! But the tea was very floral and tasted a lot like shampoo to me. I will probably not get that again.
This is a very casual place, not at all formal. Nice music playing in the background, not too loud. The server lady was quite nice and it was just a nice experience overall.

I was wary of this place based on the first reviewer but it was either this or an hour drive to the West End to get my grilled meat on sticks fix. So Kebob House it was. I figured if it turned out as horrible as described, I’d have save on gas.
This place is a solid 3.5 stars. I was very pleasantly surprised. It’s nice inside, very pleasant, clean and modern bistro atmosphere. The Arabic song playing in the background was soothing. I’ve a soft spot for places that play cuisine-​appropriate tunes. I’ve had one too many evil experiences of Justin Bieber blaring in Phở places. Anyway, expect family owned, non-​professional and «welcome-​to-​my-​house-​make-​yourself-​comfortable» kind of service. It’s not Cactus Club eh (which sometimes is a wonderful thing).
I got a bit of everything. A koobideh platter, an order of a barg and jujeh (non-​platter) and a yogurt/​cucumber/​mint dip with an Arabic name that eludes me at the moment. Compared to Zeitoon and Urban Gate, the grilled meats could be juicier but otherwise, everything was fantastic! Really tasty and great for the price (total came to $ 24.97). No comparison to the ridiculous portions at Zeitoon but portions were decent (koobideh platter for $ 6.99 compared to $ 12 at Urban Gate) for the price. I think the main issue with meat juiciness has more to do with the skill of the chef than the actual marinade/​flavour. His heat is on too high and he’s drying out the meat a tad, especially the koobideh. My barg and jujeh kebobs were very juicy but all those precious juices drained very quickly into the styrofoam container. So you kinda have to rebaste the juices onto the meat. The yogurt dip is a refreshing accompaniment to the grilled meats. And hello sumac. Now that we’ve been introduced, I’ll be sprinkling you on everything!
If you’re in the mood for Persian in this area, I say go for it! Prices are really good for the area and you can eat well for not much.
Unilocal, can we get half stars now please?

Been to Kebob House couple of times, I have ordered almost everything off the menu, and have had no complaints! Excellent food, excellent service and very reasonable pricing. Definitely would recommend the Kebob House.

I was excited for the Kebob House to open, finally something new and different in this town! Sadly, my expectations were as good as it will get. I’ve ordered twice from this place, once they screwed up my order, and their prices are pretty high for a kebob place.
The Good: The guy’s honesty
The «Meh»: The kebobs are sometimes dry, and I dislike the sauce they use.
The Bad: I can’t order food from a place that doesn’t have confidence in their food, on two accounts I had the guy tell me to get something else because what I or others planned to order wasn’t that good. A great example is his «Beef Kebobs» which is simply ground beef that you get from the store, and his gravy for poutine (at a Persian Restaurant?) he didn’t like. The place is pretty expensive and the kebobs are «meh» at best, he seems to justify his $ 8 -$ 15 kebobs with rice and a fried tomato. A Cesar Salad (Which I ordered the last time with chicken) ran me $ 10 bucks, and he forgot to put the chicken/​croutons on it! The menu is pretty limited from two types of salads, 3 kebobs, and a burger.
The Verdict: With the price being what it is for a stick of meat, I wouldn’t bother with the place. I’ve heard other horrible experiences from people about this place from the food, to the pricing. Maybe down the road I might try it again, but I’m avoiding it for now. A one star review because of the price/​portions, a few mess ups, and of course bland food.
The «Odds and Ends»: While waiting for the place to open it seemed to have taken forever to actually open. On opening day they didn’t have any hours posted, and didn’t have debit going. They have debit now, and the place actually looks inviting.
