Absolutely delicious kebabs amazing experience. Food is so good and flavorful and service is the best there is. The food came out pretty fast . I got the lule kebab half chicken, half beef. The meat was so tender and soft. The rice was well seasoned and the garlic sauce and the hummus were absolutely delicious. I’m definitely coming here again.

Absolutely delicious food with generous portions. Everything was super tasty, fresh, and full of flavor. This place is a must if you’re in the area—and honestly worth the drive if you’re not. The portions are more than enough and the quality makes you want to come back again and again. Abu Kebab definitely delivers on both taste and value.

This is a great Mediterranean restaurant that pleasantly surprised me. You order at the counter and they have a vast menu with something for everyone. The food comes out fresh and presently beautifully. All of the ingredients are delicious and super satisfying. The portions are pretty big and very filling. Staff are nice and the interior is clean.

This is the second time the chef has burned my chicken. I ordered the Chicken Sultani and this time it was so burnt I took it back. The first time the chef burned my chicken, I tore off the burned pieces and ate the pieces that weren't burnt. This time was completely unacceptable. I asked for a refund and the guy tried to explain that it's normal for the outside pieces to be burnt. I'm all for a little char on my meat but it was BURNT (carcinogen) BURNT. I shook my head and told the man I've been coming here for a while and this usually doesn't happen. He grabbed the plate and said he'll make me some fresh chicken. He was dismissive and seemed upset. He walked to the fridge and grabbed some fresh meat and proceeded to cook the meat. He did apologize as I walked away and sat down but I didn
