The Kebab Shop

Great food. Always seem to put sauce on when I say no sauce :(

Did not order the chicken because they told me it would take ten minutes to make. Been waiting 14 minutes for my food so far… And it’s not even busy or lunch rush. Come on guys…

I was impressed with the various options and a good portions.
The chicken was fabulous. The falafel was also good but slightly I thought it was over friend.
A good place to have around and definitely worth going back.

We ordered the Chicken & Lamb/​Beef Kebab for take-​out and didn’t eat it until a few hours later (on our flight). The kebab held up well, didn’t get soggy — thank goodness for the garlic yogurt on the side, was filling and tasty! For $ 7 – 8 we got a way more fulfilling and economical meal versus airport/​airline options. Oh, and the staff was friendly, through and helpful!

I eat here all the time and I’m a pretty picky bastard. Today I got a mixed meat doner with spicy hummus and fries — BOMB. The food and service are always especially good when Max is working, and today was no exception.
Thanks Max and team!

This is one of the best kebabs I’ve ever had in my life! I am LUCKY to live right across the street from this branch of the Kebab Shop and I can’t get enough of it– I get it at least once a week. It was the first meal I had on the day I moved to San Diego– it made me so happy especially during the chaos of moving day.
I have eaten in their dining room, and their service is usually quick– you order up front and pick it up in about 10 minutes and choose your own seat. However now I mostly do take-​out and they have an easy online ordering system. I usually get either the Grilled Chicken Doner or the Grilled Chicken Doner Box with Saffron Rice. I LOVE the flavors of their grilled chicken– its always flavored perfectly with the best spices and is never overcooked. I am so picky about chicken but there is simply nothing to criticize about the way they make it. Of note, there is a Rotisserie chicken that is different on their menu– have yet to try it but the Grilled Chicken is so good that I really have no desire to try anything else. My husband usually gets the Lamb/​Beef Doner and he loves it. We love all 3 of the accompanying sauces, we usually order one of each.
We haven’t tried a lot of their salads or combo plates but we have tried their falafel and hummus-​both tasty and delicious. The falafel is fried but not greasy and is crispy and amazing.
Brought my brother and father here once– they were beyond impressed. You have to understand that being Indian, we are used to bold well-​spiced flavorful dishes, so for us to rave about this place is a huge deal. If you’re looking for authentic tasting kebabs in a deli or fast-​food type style, look no further than here. You will not regret it!
Tip– I usually end up getting an extra skewer of meat added to the Doner Box for an extra $ 4. So for a total of $ 12 for the Donor Box with the extra skewer I can make it into 2 filling and well portioned meals– awesome!

Food was cold got the shawarma and it tastes nothing like what shawarma suppose to taste and tastes like fake middles eastern food

My favorite «fast food» place to visit. Their lamb doner is amazing as well as the chicken. They do need a better soda fountain selection.

We love this place but when you order a chicken doner with orzo zuchini salad to-​go, and arrive home only to find a kebab of chicken with rice, it sucks!

My second visit was the same as the first.
Both doner wraps. Both very disappointing.
The lamb/​beef meet seems as is it was cooked from frozen.
The flatbread cool down the entire wrap so that the contents are lukewarm.
Suggest: putting wrap in sandwich press to prevent this.
Staff were are super nice, but that doesnt make up for the sub par food.
If you’re from Europe you will be disappointed. Suggest having a few pints before attempting to eat here. That may help.

In Turkey or Europe when you get a doner kepap they slice the meat hot right off the rotisserie. Its sizzling hot and the aroma hits you. Here it was lukewarm precut, had to have been from the day before, b/​c this was nearly opening time.
Staff was very nice.
Also, the Algerian salad the eggplant was way way undercooked and essentially not much flavor.

I went here last month when I was in San Diego and WOW. I’ve been searching for a real doner kebab since I came back from Spain and every place has either had meat on a stick or gyros — FINALLY found a kebab shop that does it right.
My boyfriend didn’t want a kebab because he’d never had one before, and got a chicken shawarma — and totally regretted it once he tried my doner kebab. Get extra sauce! And if you’re visiting San Diego plan to want to come here more than once — I was so bummed we only had time to get it 1x while we were visiting.

I came here around 7pm last night for a quick bite,
unfortunately by then they had run out of beef and lamb. So I figured I’d try something new and ordered the Moroccan Shrimp doner box, less rice and extra salad. I was a bit disappointed by this dish, there were only 4 shrimps in the box and it was over cooked so the shrimp meat was hard and stringy. My meal basically composed of saffron rice and salad. Ive had other food at the kebab shop before and it has been great, maybe just need to stay away from the seafood.
Service however was great, the cashier was a wonderful lady who was patient and very tentative.

I tried the Kebob Shop based on good Unilocal reviews. I ordered the Doner with grilled chicken. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised with how big it was. It was all I needed for dinner. The chicken had great flavor and all the ingredients molded together nicely in the wrap. I got a side of cucumber yogurt to dip it in. I’m sure I’ll be back.

Wowzers! Best Doner I’ve had, maybe, ever?!?
I ordered the beef and lamb donor and it was mind blowing I also got baklava as dessert let’s just say anytime I’m in town I will come to this place to eat!

This place is quickly becoming one of my go-​to spots. It’s reasonably priced, and the food is VERY good. I always thought gryo meat was supposed to be sort of dry and crispy, but here it’s moist and tender. I want to try some of the other things on the menu but that gryo keeps seducing me every time.
The customer service in this place is on point, as well. Everyone in there was super nice and friendly, and not just the kind of regular customer service that you’d expect in a restaurant. I walked out of there saying to myself «wow, they were all REALLY nice!»
When I got my order something was accidentally left out, which i was pretty bummed about because I was incredibly hungry. But I contacted the manager and he was very responsive and quick to make things right. Mistakes happen and they more than made up for it.
I will definitely be coming back. A lot.

It was good tasting. I didn’t know they were closing at 9 and but we came in at 8:47pm and they were nice about it.
They messed up on my order I ordered 2 shawarma with lamb but they gave me ckn.
They only had enough for one lamb bec they were closing.
The kids meal is pretty good decent size.
The cashier Amanda was fabulous, she was closing and didn’t pressure is to leave. She was real friendly.
Gave it 4 stars bec of the service of the cashier.

More like a 4.5 stars now…
I was reluctant to try The Kebab shop again because my first time around wasn’t the greatest and I didn’t have a desire to, but nothing wrong with giving second chances. Especially if the Kebab shop is all about great customer service and they do truly care if you have a good experience.
This time around I tried their lamb/​beef doner (wrap) and it was much much better than the plate and less salty. The yogurt sauce was just as good as I remembered it. The meat was less salty and it had great flavors. It went well with the sauce, vegetables in the wrap and the wrap was nice and warm. This is a very good and I would say a better alternative to the other lunch options in the area (sandwiches or burritos). I also had their roasted chicken doner. The wrap needed a bit more chicken or evenly distributed chicken, towards the end like ¼ it was all veggies, but still delicious! I’m just a pig and always want more food… yummmm.
So why not 5 stars? Because I have yet to try more! Next stop their sandwiches. It will keep me coming back.

This is a good quick casual spot that’s also good for take out.
I came here Thursday, I love the smell of a Greek place when you walk in the door. My friend had the chicken skewer plate with rice and hummus, I don’t eat meat but he thoroughly enjoyed it and the chicken looked grilled to perfection.
I went in thinking I’d have the falafel wrap but they had tons of side dishes in the front that looked so yummy so I went for those. I had the eggplant salad which was delicious and definitely had a kick to it. I also had the spicy hummus and pita bread and between the 2 you could feel the heat.
Clean place, friendly staff and overall a great place to grab something quick yet fresh!

Ein echtes Abenteuer für deutsche Besucher.
Döner sind eigentlich Dürüm.
Das Fleisch ist sehr Lecker und die Yogurt-​Knoblauch Sosse
könnte auch Original sein.
Für günstige 8 Dollar kann man dort super essen!
Immer wieder gerne

Just when I was heading into Little Italy to get a meatball sandwich, I came across this kebab place. It was nice enough to stop me on my heels (not pumps), and allure me in. With it’s nice branding and cute little rustic and yellow paint, I had to pop in and place an order. The meatball sandwich will have to wait for another day.
The kebab plate had the lamb/​beef shawarma with two sides and a bevy of choices — I went with rice and caprese salad. The shawarma was flavorful and spiced, and everything nice — large portion. The rice was a little undercooked, and thus, small grain and not tender (but I ate it all anyway), and the caprese was loaded with mozzarella and tomato. All in all — great.
With that said, I recommend the Doner sandwich. Made with flatbread and wrapped like a burrito, it’s everything and with fries and HUGE. I was salivating watching everyone else eat it.
Recommended for a quick $ 10 bite.
