Kabobji

by Natalia B.

I was not impressed with my veggie wrap at lunch.  The sandwich was mostly bread and the falafel was somewhat dry.  To top it off, the waiter gave me a hard time for asking for some yogurt sauce on the side - even if it was super delicious on its own, I don't want to be harangued for my taste preferences.  Oh also - I'd stay away from the meat grape leaves... served warm, they tasted super fatty and fell apart when you took a bite.  Bleh.

I've been looking for an authentic and not overpriced place for middle eastern food, and I've found it in Kabobji. Everything I had was delicious! I started with the fatoosh salad and my friend had the lentil soup. I don't even like lentil soup, but there was something about this soup that was incredibly tasty. The meals are a decent size portion for the cost and bring your soup or salad and rice or fries. I had the chicken shawarma (which the waiter said was the best anywhere because they marinate it twice so it's extremely tasty) with rice, which was ridicously good. Very moist and fresh. Kabobji is a small hole-in-the-wall kind of place, very unassuming. The waiter was exceptionally nice and attentive. He even suggested i have the rice over the fries and good thing he did because the rice was delicious. I'm not usually a rice person, but I have to agree that it was amazing.I will definitely be back for seconds and I have a feeling this place will be one of my staples now. So excited I found it! If you like middle eastern food, I definitely recommend checking this place out, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

This place is great. This is what I recommend. Go in a group of six hungry people and order the Kabobji Feast ($105.00). The Feast serves six and brings all the usual items in a Lebanese restaurant - hummus, baba ghanoosh, fattoush, falafel, two shish tawooks, two shish kabobs, four shish kaftas, boneless chicken, and three lamb chops. You can not go wrong here. Let me repeat to emphasize. You can not go wrong with this order. While you wait, smoke hookah and drink Lebanese beer.If that doesn't sound like a perfect Saturday afternoon (they don't open Sundays), something is wrong with you.Cheers!

Being Lebanese, this is by far the best Lebanese food in Miami!  And I'm sure each time you go, you will see other Lebanese eating there-that's a great signThis is the kind of place that you go to for a good meal for a good price-not a posh fancy place...just a great local hang! I usually don't eat lamb, but their lamb chops...oooh, something about them. Also, they have the most delicious chicken kabobs (it's moist and very tasty and goes perfect with the garlic sauce!)  When I'm on my "diet" its perfect because I get the chicken with salad and it doesn't taste like "diet" food :-)I also love their hot potatoe appetizer (if you like spicy, this is your thing!!) and they add some fresh cilantro...mmm, perfect.The falafel are the best that I've had outside Lebanon...the lentil soup appetizer, nothing compares! If you like meat, try the kabobs, which is what they are known for...meat chicken are both excellent!  I frequent at least 2 times a week (from Brickell) and it's worth the drive!!!

I stopped by here with Ralph. The surrounding was interesting. There were antique things on the wall, some which I believe were the old pipe lighters? I also saw some hookah by us next to the desk. The music was similar to some Turkish music. It was a mix of slow and then some nice, happy sounding ones. Nothing to give you a head ache.I went for the lentil soup, which was good and squeezing some lemon in it tasted even better. I skipped the cucumber yogurt salad since it has some mint in it, plus I have already been eating some of my own at home. I try not to eat too much dairy since it makes me too full.Ralph and I then ate our salads, which was cut up in small sizes and what they added in it made them taste good. It must be the paprika and olive oil along with very little lemon juice. Guessing.Then, I get my lamb shish kebob with rice, however not seeing bundles of vegetables on the side.. I was expecting some good cooked red and green peppers and maybe also some cooked tomatoes and carrots. Ralph gets his shish kebob with beef. When you pick a meal or a meal combo, you either have soup or salad and then get fries or rice. This doesn't apply to pita wraps in here.He finished his and had to wait for me. That was kind of annoying because I don't like to be the only one eating.Everything tasted good, and waitress was nice.. but, someone else (I think he was the owner) had to get us some more water. I don't know where the lady went but we were so thirsty, no offense. I also just wish there was a little more veggies. Is it too much to ask? =X

I have been here several times and have yet to have a bad experience.  Nice decor, simple ambiance, good service, and very good Lebanese food.  I have tried, the lentil soup (a must try), kefta kabob, chicken shwarma, the fatoosh salad, and the salmon.  (Not all in one sitting, but I am sure I can do it!)  All are great, except for the salmon as I did not experience any Lebanese flavours on it.   They have also created a new lunch menu with additional items so be sure to check it out.Also, try their Lebanese house wine  as it compliments most of their meat dishes excellently.  On the other end of the spectrum, try the Lebanese tea, very flavourful.  Lastly, the owner of the restaurant does a great job of making sure his patrons are having a great experience.  Small, family owned restaurants rock!  Happy Eating :)

i dont even know why im giving this place 1 star. this is the first time ive given any business establishment one star. this place is ridiculous!there was only 1 waitress for the entire restaurant (mind you, there were 6 tables). theres only so much a single person can do. we waited forever for our food! not to mention, others got their food before us. my friend's salad came AT THE SAME TIME as his entree. ARE YOU SERIOUS?now, i would excuse the terrible service if the food was good, but IT WAS TERRIBLE! I've had Lebanese food before and let me tell you, whatever they served up was worse than disgusting. i can't believe others have eaten here and thought it was delicious!maybe because ive been to AUTHENTIC middle eastern food establishments (in other countries of course) so my palate knows how it's SUPPOSED to taste like. I don't know what type of food this is, but it is COMPLETELY DISGUSTING. HORRIBLE SERVICE AS WELL!
