Kabobji

I went to this restaurant with my wife who is 100% Lebanese. We ordered the beef kabob plate and kabobji combo, vegetarian mezza, sfiha, and cheese rolls. For starters, we were very impressed with the fresh bread. You can tell it had just been taken out of the oven. The restaurant has their own oven for bread and you can see them baking it while you eat. To start off, the mezza came with vegetarian grape leaves, baba ghanouj, hummus, falafel and tabouli. My wife loves tabouli and so we asked to substitute the falafel for extra tabouli. The mezza came out and presentation was excellent. Grape leaves were juicy and delicious. The hummus and baba ghanouj were flavorful and had just the right amount of garlic and tahini. Very good. However, what made me downgrade my review from 5 to 4 stars is the tabouli and sfiha. The tabouli did not appear or taste fresh at all. It looked as if it had been sitting in the refrigerator all day. The meat on the sfiha did not appear to be cooked as well as we would have liked. We would have liked it to be more crunchy. But everything else was so delicious. The beef kabob plate was cooked to perfection. My wife ordered it with fries and we got extra garlic sauce for dipping. The plate came with two large beef skewers and portion was very generous. The kabobji combo was also delicious and portion was huge; coming with kafta, beef kabob, and chicken tawouk. The kabobji combo is enough for sharing between two people. Overall, I would come back to this restaurant again but would not get the tabouli or sfiha. The cheese rolls were alright, but would have been better if stuffed with mozzarella cheese instead of feta like traditional Lebanese rakakat. Our waiter was Manuel and he did a great job taking care of me and my wife.

Excellent authentic middle eastern food. Amazing Kubbe, beef skewers with the rise were delicious. The freshly pitas… are amazing.

Kabobji food was excellent. Food was extremely fresh, flavorful, and served good portions. I have tried many middle eastern resturants and this place is now one of my favorites. The pita bread was phenomenonal and can't be beat!

Had not been in a while to Kabobji. Great place to eat Mediterranean food. Hummus is smooth and delicious and comes with fresh bakes in house pita bread. Tabbouleh is also amazing the best we have eaten in a restaurant. Chicken meals were also very tasty and good. It does not get that busy service is fare as well as atmosphere. If in the area visit you will not be disappointed.

Stopped by Kabobji on a Monday night—plenty of open tables, no wait. Service was quick and on point, which is always a plus. Started with the falafel, and they were solid. Not dry inside, held their shape well, and weren’t overly fried, a solid 4/5. For the main dish, I went with the Kabobji Combo, which comes with three grilled skewers—Tawook, beef kabob, and kafta—served with rice. Everything was cooked just right—juicy, flavorful, and not overdone. The kafta, in particular, stood out. I’d give the dish a solid 4.5/5. If you’re into Middle Eastern food, this place is definitely worth checking out. Good portions, great flavors, and no frills. Would come back for another round, maybe to try some hummus or shawarma next time.

Their labne is to die for! Food is really well seasoned and the portions are quite big. I shared the kabobji platter with my husband and we were quite pleased.

From the moment the warm pita and creamy hummus hit the table, I knew I should’ve taken photos—everything looked and tasted amazing. We came in for the lunch menu and started with their delicious hummus and pita (yes, they give you fresh pita on the house!). Everything was full of flavor and made with care. Our waiter, Zack, was a standout—efficient, pleasant, knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. He walked us through the menu, answered all our questions, and helped us confidently choose our dishes. At the end, he suggested we try the baklava, and I’m so glad he did. It was so good we ended up ordering another one to go! Highly recommend this spot—not just for the food, but for the service, too. We’ll definitely be back.

This restaurant is a must place to come. Located in north miami, on the causeway. The service is great and the food is excellent! Trust me you will not regret it. Price reasonable. Also don’t forget to have as dessert the chocolate cake and a Turkish coffee. Although you could also have a delicious Baklava order 😋

I recently visited this restaurant. They are inspired by the middle eastern cuisine. I noticed the menu is very extensive and the pita bread is freshly made. I really liked the hummus and the Pita. It was very tasty. As for the main dish I ordered a chicken shawarma. The chicken was very rich in flavor, the veggies were also fresh. I ordered a mint lemonade and my drink was the highlight of the brunch, so refreshing, the perfect balance. Service was phenomenal, all the dishes arrived fast. Plenty parking available inside the plaza. Highly recommended to try. Bring your appetite, family and friends!

I haven't had too much luck eating at middle eastern restaurants, but this place was amazing! My wife and I were in the area and she suggested KABOBJI, so I said ok let's try it, and I'm happy we did. To start we had an order of hummus and an order of Kibbeh which were outstanding, add the pita bread and WOW! We shared a Lamb Kabob platter which was also great to complete our lunch. So my wife and I recommend KABOBJI, it's a must!

I've tried this place a few times, but I'm finally giving up. It's honestly awful and not authentic at all. Coming from a Middle Eastern family and having experienced real Middle Eastern cuisine, I know what it should taste like. Unfortunately, this place misses the mark completely. It shouldn't taste like this -- very disappointing.

The food and service here are fantastic. They are attentive, kind, and funny. We came with a group of 13 and spent a little over $400 including gratuity. If you dine in Miami, you know this is a great deal. The baklava is crisp with just the right amount of creamy. We ordered a meat platter that had lamb, chicken, and beef slices and minced beef in grape leaf. The bread was flowing throughout the whole meal. We also had the hummus, fried kibbeh, baba ghannouj, Lebanese cheese rolls, and falafel. The Lebanese beer is crisp and refreshing, as was the fattoush salad! Great place for a large party and a middle eastern craving! Highly recommend.

I associate Kabobjo with happiness. This is one of my favorite restaurants probably in the entire world. The people who work here are always so kind and welcoming, accommodating to whatever silly request I might have that day. The inside feels like you are more private dining room than inside a restaurant with the big walled booths giving you extra privacy and a chance to get close to those you love. The food. Simply put is spectacular. Never have I ever come out of a meal at Kabobji feeling disappointed. And their generous free pita bread with zaa'tar is always warm and puts a smile on my face. Kabobji is a special place, these kinds of restaurants that aim to not just serve but delight, are hard to come by. This is always one of my top recommendations. If you haven't tried it yet it's 1000% worth the trip.

This is one of my favorite Middle Eastern restaurants in south FL and that says a lot because I'm Arab so I know what our food should taste like. Pretty much anything and everything you order here you'll like. They start off with bringing you their homemade pita with olive oil on the side. Why do you do this to me if you know my weakness is hot pita!? Anyway I eat a whole basket and then wonder why I'm full but no worries I always make room for my food. I love their shawarma wrap that comes with my fries. Their shish tawook is also good. Their salads are delicious. Hummus and kibbeh is also good. This restaurant holds a special place in my heart because I would frequently visit it with my dad. We would either dine in or order to go so we could take it with us to Haulover Beach and eat by the beach park section. My dad also loved this places so I'll always think of him when I go. Plenty of parking since it's shared with other restaurants. Once you get off 826 by beaches just drive east towards the beach and it's in a hidden plaza to your left hand side right before Oleta Park. Highly recommend coming here for good food and good service.

FLAVOR!!! Plenty of seating for a Saturday lunch. Quickly seated by an attentive staff. I thoroughly enjoyed the Grape Leaves as my appetizer; Delicious! The Chicken Shawarma pita was crisp, packed with meat and sauce. One of the best I have ever had. The fresh lemonade washed it all down. Music and atmosphere at perfect level. Gotta go again.

As someone with celiac, it's always difficult to find good, safe places to eat. I called in to ask if they had any gluten-free options (it's really important to be super specific), made without wheat, and they were super knowledgeable! Both the lamb and beef kabob are gluten free, so is the brown rice, and the greek salad! Pretty solid middle eastern food and the appreciated the effort in making my food celiac safe. If you do decide to do the same thing, make sure it's not during a rush so that they can accommodate you without risk! 9.2/10, would recommend!

The food was good, the service was slow but there were multiple big parties so that could be the reason why. The place is really nice and decorated nicely and suitable for events but it does need more staff when there are multiple things happening. Will try it out again.

Kabobji is a Lebanese restaurant located in a strip mall on North Miami Beach. The restaurant is big and with nice looking feel. It also has a bread oven so you know you are getting freshly baked pita bread. We ordered the veggie mezza, grapes leaves, Malfouf, and fried kibbeh. First, the fresh pita comes with a lovely Za'atar and olive oil dip. Delicious! It's a fresh warm pita! And dip it's to die for! So freaking good! The veggie mezza comes with Tabouleh salad, hummus, grape leaves, and falafel, and instead of baba ganoush with ordered more hummus. Everything on the dish was outstanding! The hummus is so creamy and tasty! The falafel was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The grape leaves were warm and soft! You could tell they were fresh! The Malfouf and the fried kibbeh were also super good! Overall, delicious meal! Oh the service was on point too!

UPDATE UPDATE Food is Consistently delicious. Shwarma plate with chicken is so fine as are the in-house made pitas. I love this place.

In town for a little R and R and visiting family we found Kabobji thru YELP.. The restaurant is in a well lit and popular shopping mall and offers casual dining with outdoor seating if available when you arrive We arrived at 6pm and were seated promptly and began to dine at our leisure. We started with the veggie mezza which comes with grape leaves , hummus, baba ghannouj, falafel, tabbouleh and fresh hot pita. The 3 of us marveled in the grape leaves/baba ghannouj/tabbouleh being some of the best we"ve had . 5 STAR Our daughter had the sautéed shrimp , 8 large shrimp with a creamy mushroom sauce and almond slivered white rice. Shrimp dish was served nice and hot , shrimp themselves were cooked perfectly 4 STAR We also ordered a side of Batata Harra (spicy potatoes) I liked these small cubed potatoes which were tossed with plenty of cayenne pepper but agree they definitely aren't your traditional Greek style potatoes which I think is what we expected - 4 STAR Last two items were two small salads , a Greek salad with grilled chicken and a small Fattoush salad with chicken Sharma. The salads were just average overall, veg selection was not too unusual and limited lettuce. Also a disappointment the chicken was dry and overcooked Overall the restaurant is relaxed and what they did do well was done really well - that said we will visit again when in town

Food decent to good. Service good . But the prices have doubled since I was last there . Used to be a great value . Now it's just too expensive. Will not be returning . Place was pretty dead too. Used to be busier . They raised the prices too high . Lost another customer . Believe me !

I didn't find this place to be very authentic. If you have ever been to the real kabobji overseas... This won't taste as good. It wasn't terrible but it could be better. The restaurant itself is nice and a good size. Service was great though.

Nice casual restaurant, the hummus was really good. Service was fast. It was clean and well decorated. I am excited to try other items on the menu next time

The food was good, baklava was great! It was pretty empty in there. They gave us one incorrect dish but we kept it.

Wanted to grab a quick bite to eat so stopped over at kabobji, located on a busy street with multiple options in the plaza. There was plenty of parking. Seating available in and outside. Inside they have an open oven where someone will be making fresh bread. The inside is fairly large with booths and table/chair. Only two washrooms. The menu was had a variety of different options. For starters, they bring over fresh bread with olive oil zaatar. The bread was warm and fresh and olive oil was rich. It was a great way to start the meal. We tried the chicken sandwich, beef platter, ground beef & cheese rolls. The sandwich wasn't dry which is plus. The beef was tender and rolls came out piping hot.. We were all satisfied with our meals. Service was decent, food arrived in a timely manner.

As a lover of spicy food, Kabobji in North Miami is definitely the place to go! Even without the extra hot sauce I requested, the lemon oregano chicken was fire! The generously portioned chicken, on a bed of basmati rice with almonds was well seasoned and perfect. I'll try a different dessert when I go again - with reservations and maybe not close to closing time. The baklava was a little more nutty and not as sweet as I have had at other Middle Eastern restaurants (one of them seems to serve theirs with a touch of honey). My side dishes included a hearty yellow lentil soup, warm fluffy pita bread as well as side of hummus with fresh garbanzo taste and a hint of tarragon. I noticed they have a decent cocktail menu with some pomegranate drinks I'd come back and try. Here's hoping to upgrading 5 stars soon!

I went to this restaurant with my wife who is 100% Lebanese. We ordered the beef kabob plate and kabobji combo, vegetarian mezza, sfiha, and cheese rolls. For starters, we were very impressed with the fresh bread. You can tell it had just been taken out of the oven.

Our waiter was Manuel and he did a great job taking care of me and my wife.

Stopped by Kabobji on a Monday night--plenty of open tables, no wait. Service was quick and very friendly. The food was fresh and tasty. I would go back

Do not use take out! They mess up every order! Furious as this has happened before. They read back order. Had a teen pick up.. did not check order. Unless you dine in... food is excellent but... take out cannot get orders correct. Mohamed is owner. Nice man. He has failed to ensure your orders are properly executed. Came from Brickell Ave to pick up. At least get it right. We WILL NEVER IRDER TAKE OUT AGAIN!

We came here for our last night in Miami. We were seated pretty quickly for a Saturday night. Our waitress was wonderful the whole time we were there. For starters they give you seasoned oil and fresh pita. It was probably the best pita bread I've ever had! I ordered the chicken shawarma platter and my husband had a wrap. The rice was really good. The chicken was good but had a really strong sour element that was a bit too much for me so I didn't eat a lot of it. Speaking of that the portion size for dinner is huge! Unless you have a huge appetite I would suggest sharing.

Heavenly, fluffy, warm Fresh pita deliciousness comes to mind when I think back to my dining experience at Kabobji. We had the pita/humus, lemon chicken oregano platter and the Chicken Tawouk Platter. The humus was one of the best humus's I've ever had and both chicken dishes were SO GOOD! The lemon sauce on the oregano chicken really stood out for its zesty, garlicky flavor. The homemade pita was hands down, the BEST EVER! We finished the meal with some lovely pistachio baklava and that's all she wrote. Great place to try some unique and fresh flavors.

Everything is good here. starting from the delicious foods cooked to perfection, pita in home made literally feels you are in the middle east, ate a delicious fish and a lentil soup super flavorful and tasty. service was great waitr brougtb food fast and accommodate me in every single way. Ambiance was inviting and definitely will come back ate outside, they have seating in doors and out doors..

I had a lot of friends recommend this place but it was not so memorable to me and felt kind of pricey for small portions. The service was good, our waiter was a nice guy and there was a lot of people there enjoying but I just didn't get the hype personally. There's so many Mediterranean food spots here in Miami but I find many of them to be pricey and not over-deliver on flavor like I'm used to getting from Mediterranean spots back home in the northeast

Sit down and they bring you freshly made pita breads. You need to eat them right away while they are hot. (Delicious when hot. Not so good as they cool. I wish they would bring humos or banda ganoush with it.) Stick with the great kabobs and the fatoosh salad was incredible. The kafta kabob was moist, a sign of a properly cooked kabob, and spiced really well. The portions were so big that my wife and I took home half of our dinners. Made a nice lunch the next day.

The best of the year for me. Takes me back on my travels. Love the flavors. Large, nicely decorated restaurant with plenty of seating. I go at least once a month sometimes twice

We just stumbled upon this gem on our way to Fort Lauderdale from Bal harbor. There is good amount of seating inside the restaurant. The ambiance of this place is normal, nothing fancy. The menu had a lot of options in it. Super vegetarian friendly as well. We ordered chicken tawouk and lamb kafta kabob. The portion size is huge. Both our dishes were great. I just wish the chicken pieces were a bit smaller. The garlic sauce they have is delicious. Overall, I would highly recommend this place and will be back again. Also there is plenty of parking available in the complex.

The service was great , we ordered the hummus that comes with the delicious bread omg !! I ate too much of it. I ordered the grilled chicken with crispy french fries of the lunch menu, which was very delicious, it can serve 2 people. It was a bit loud due to the lunch time crowd. I can't wait to go back again.

The ambiance is nice. It's a very cozy place but spacious. They do have a small outdoor seating m. The service was great. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious! The pies are made to order and super fresh!

Good Lebanese food. Pita bread is always warm and freshly made delivered to our table. Recommend the chicken or beef pita with a side of bulgar wheat.

Best Lebanese Shish Taouk Pita Bread in town. I have been looking for the original taste of this delicious sandwich in every Middle Eastern restaurant around Miami,Broward etc and just here I found the best one till now.

The garlic sauce is addicting - I don't know how else to say it! I always get the hummus with their fresh pita which is made right in front of you in the open kitchen oven in the restaurant. When it comes to your table hot it's the absolute best! For the main my husband and I split the veggie trio with the bulgar wheat side and the fattoush salad. I also sometimes order the lentil soup which is amazing (all which are vegan). The homemade hot sauce is only second to the garlic sauce but watch out... it's really spicy Its a casual restaurant and the consistency makes it one of my go-tos in the area

What happened to one of our favourite restaurants!? We used to eat here all the time and it was always delicious! But it was 4-3 years ago. Now in June 2022 the quality is not what it used to be. Im still giving 3 stars because the hummus, baba ganoush and the bulgar wheat were delicious. But their wraps and pitta bread have gone south. We paid extra for fresh pitta bread but looked like they were busy to make it fresh, definitely not freshly baked. Chicken wrap - very flat and super dry. Only chicken inside, barely any sauce and one pickle at the end. Falafel wrap - the worst ever. It went straight in the garbage. That was not falafel it used to be!! I'm not even sure it was falafel or not!? It was very hard, gooey and tasted like nothing. Like some tasteless flour mixed with water and undercooked. No spices, no salt, I don't even think there were chickpeas inside. Horrible.

We love the food but servir sucks, they are not answering the phone to place a pickup order, terrible service! Servers are lazy and don't assist properly the customers. They only work properly when the owner or manager is there. How is it possible to insist on calling for more than 1 hour and when you get there they say that the girl in charge of the phone didn't go to work and that they don't care about it, specially getting to the restaurant and only seen 3 tables busy, specially when is after the rush hour , after 3pm that we are calling! This happened 9/14/22 at 3:43

Fantastic! Wow. What a food adventure. The flavors are amazing, service was great, and the atmosphere was quite energetic but relaxing. Highly recommend.

Good quality food simple menu and big selection of middle eastern cuisine delicious nana tea

Food is GREAT! Staff couldn't get a take out order correct if their life depended on it! We have been patrons for over 10 years, we moved to Brickell 3 years ago. We continued the drive up because the food is that good. However we will NEVER go back. Tired of incompetence getting the order right on take out. Owner Mohamed great guy never called us back but again maybe his incompetent staff never gave him them messages! I support local business but tired of ordering shwarma and getting DRY kabobs!

Food was very good Service was very good as well and the atmosphere is casual and relaxed Will definitely try it again Good value as well

Wow, seriously excellent Mideastern food. Meze platter is generous and authentic. House bread served with spices that transform you to another continent. We ordered vegetarian including their excellent lentil soup.

My party of three stopped by on a weeknight and opted to sit outside; it was definitely busy inside and we were worried about the pandemic. Service was extremely slow; our waiter was great when he was helping us, but was often busy with other tables/inside. Nonetheless, their food is well portioned and flavorful. My friend cannot stop talking about their lamb chops -- we almost ordered it again to-go because they were so good. They have a selection of restaurant-made sauces that I would definitely try; I added their spicy one all over my Beef Shawarma Platter. They give you a large portion of meat, which is basically enough for two meals! I would definitely visit again, but maybe during a quieter time to accommodate for the slower service.

Traditional Lebanese restaurant. We were a party of 18 and the service was excellent. We had 5 family platters which included chicken breast, chicken tawook, kofta kabob, and lamb chops all grilled. The appetizers were my favorite; baba Ghanoush, hummus, and falafel. We also had skewers of grilled shrimp and another shrimp and mushroom cream dish which was excellent. The fatoosh salad is soooo good. They are generous with their fresh pita bread and garlic sauce and tahini. There's a smaller location in Davie which we have also been too and is very good. Love the Arabic music in the background. There was no Bellydance show like many of the other Arabic restaurants we go to on Saturday nights and this is the only reason I gave it a 4. I was hoping for some entertainment since we were a big party!

Not good and not fresh. They served me frozen Kanafa cooked in the microwave swimming in sugar syrup and the server kept saying it is fresh.

Delicious food, large portions and service was fast. Prices are very reasonable compared to most places in the area. We will come back.

I love middle eastern food so while I am in Fort Lauderdale, Florida I looked for a middles eastern restaurant. I saw this place and decided to give it a shot. I love chicken shawarma and know if it is good or not. Their chicken shawarma was tender and super tasty. The rice was delicious. I know it's a side dish but a lot of places can really screw up the flavor. The severs were very fast in taking my order and getting food out in a timely manner. The ambiance is very lively and enjoyable being in. I would definitely recommend checking it out for sure!!!!

Kabobji is exceptional in person and terrible if delivered. In person, I love the place. They make their own pita on premises (which I wish was slightly less dry and a bit more fluffy if im nitpicking). Their hummus is excellent, as are their stuffed grape leaves, wraps and amazing salads. I think it's one of the best middle eastern restaurants in SFL for certain. Unfortunately, delivery was not the same. The wraps arrived so dry we could barely get them down with a ton of water. The fries were stale. Only the stuffed grape leaves held up. That said, some food simply doesnt travel well and now I know, get the wraps only when dining in! Highly recommend.

So glad we tried this place!! Great vegetarian options and very authentic and so delicious! Got the kabobji vegetarian wrap trio with falafel, hummus, tahini, tabouli! So good! Perfect lemony flavor with humus, tahini and crispy falafels in a nice thin pita wrap. Also tried the home made lemonade, and jallab drinks. Both refreshing! Jallab is a very interesting aromatic, sweet drink. Would definitely recommend this place!

This is probably one of our favorite halal places in Miami right now. The food is fantastic, the service is great, and even the prices are super reasonable for Miami with big serving sizes. The fresh baked bread with hummus is definitely our favorite part.
