"Kabobzi’s dining room is large and cozy—it’s decorated with walls of fake plants and thick white ropes hanging from the ceiling that give a vaguely coastal feel to it all. The menu at this spot near UT is mostly made up of Lebanese and Mediterranean classics, with a heavy focus on kabobs and grilled meats. Get the mixed grill combo for a sampling of kafta kabob, grilled beef tenderloin, and chicken shish tawook, and pair it with some hummus and fries for a filling lunch that will also serve as a second and third meal later.
