Kabob Express

It’s always a pleasure to eat here. The food has always been great, especially the chicken tandoori. If you are feeling adventurous, try the homemade yogurt drink. They put small pieces of cucumber in it and it’s very refreshing. Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with chicken or beef kabobs. Excellent!!!

I’ve been a regular at this place for a long while. I always get the tandory chicken kabob, it’s my favorite! I also like the bread they give, it’s really soft. The green chutney is also nice, kind of tangy. I knocked one star off because I’ve noticed the size of the chicken pieces has dramatically decreased. The meals used to have large breast pieces, now they’re almost bite size, even though the meal costs the same. Tasty but too small!

Cliff’s Notes: food was good but the register jockey was a d-​bag and I was charged extra for food I never got.
Went in with restrained expectations based on what I read here. I never hold service against a place, I’m going for the eats, not the conversation. A friendly chat is nice but not required for me. Well, the butthole at the counter met my expectations on the crap conversation. Had an attitude with everyone he served. Anyway, that’s fine. What’s not fine is charging me extra for hummus and eggplant and not giving them to me. I got takeout so it’s my fault for not checking before leaving, right? Wrong. It’s not my responsibility to check. But from now on, I will. Sick of getting shafted like that. Anyway, won’t be back. I’ll try somewhere else next time, someplace they maybe don’t care to chat but at least actually care enough to give you what you paid for instead of shooing you out the door to get back to their texting.
What food I did get — a few little meat chunks on a broad expanse of rice with some undressed iceberg lettuce on the side — did taste pretty good so enjoy your second star, you unlovable bastards.

Not good. Low quality food. But it’s cheap. The portions are small and there isn’t much of a selection of healthy drinks.

Enjoyed dinner here– fresh pita bread, lamb kabob was delicious, beef kabob slightly tough. Friendly service. We’ll definitely come back!

Just now finished and wow. I don’t know anything about this type of food but what we ate was very good. Husband had beef and chicken number 8 I think. The meat was very tender and well seasoned. I had the chicken gyro sandwich I forget the name and it was definitely worth eating. We got there little after 11 and only one other customer ahead of us. No problems with the staff or the wait time. I did get the feeling that women are not important, all conversation was directed to him. place isn’t as small as I imagined and it was definitely clean. The tables are large. The price was a bit higher than what I would have liked. But not outrageous and we will go back.

Great food and great service. Not to expensive and the foods organic and healthy! People must come here!

Get the #1! You won’t be disappointed! Never had this kind of food before… probably one of the best meals of 2015 and its already November. Definitely been sleeping on this spot! Not anymore!
Unilocal! For a free drink too

I visited Kabob Express the other night for the first time! I live literally a 5 minute walk away and have always wanted to try it, but I finally had the opportunity so off I went.
When I walked in, there were about 10 – 15 other customers eating in the small dining room. There was one Middle Eastern customer waiting to order in front of me, and then a few minutes later, another Middle Eastern customer was waiting behind me. Here is where I started to have a problem: Even though there were TWO men manning the cashier stand, neither of them knew what they were doing. They did not know how to take orders, how to make change, or how to talk with customers.
Finally, after at least five minutes, it was my turn. However, the two men looked directly past me at the other customer BEHIND me and invited him to the cashier stand instead of me. I was very confused but continued to wait. After they took his order, they both pulled out their phones and started texting. I was pretty furious at this point so I marched up to the counter and asked if I could order. Both of the men seemed caught off guard that I would actually want to eat, but finally managed to take my order (amid much confusion over what I wanted, how to spell my name, and how to make change). I didn’t even use my free drink from Unilocal because I knew it would just waste more time because of all of the confusion.
The only reason this review is getting 2 stars instead of 1 is because my chicken tandori kabob with rice was SUPER good. I almost didn’t want it to be good because I was so disgruntled, but it was amazing. Don’t put much stock in their bread (it was a HARD piece of pita) or salad (a few lettuce pieces thrown in the corner of the to-​go box), but the kabob and rice ALMOST makes me want to go back. Almost. Not quite.

Place was kinda disorganized and the owners looked lost, But at the end of the day I left with a smile
The chef in the back knows what he’s doing.
Try the kofta #4 Literally best Persian food I’ve ever had, yes a very bold statement!
Food came out fast and fresh. Prices are decent
And Food is also halal!

When a place knows your name and your 2 year old son’s name, recognizes your order on the phone, and puts a big smile on the toddler’s face as you pull into the parking lot … you know it’s a keeper!
Okay, the kafta kabob plate here is my half-​Palestinian half-​Israeli son’s go to meal. If he’s screaming, whining, or even being super cute and we’re east of Decatur, we’re going to Kabob Express.
I sometimes order the Tandoori chicken, which is a hit or miss on being cooked properly, but the flavor is there and either way the rice is delicious.
The shawarma here is not shawarma, you should know that ahead of time. The hummus is super Americanized and the pita is always dry/​hard.
My issue here comes with the guy who is apparently the weekday cook and even the owner. The weekday cook is rude and whistles while making the food — a very bad omen in the eastern end of the world. Regardless, it’s plain old annoying in such a small place and when a customer, especially a regular, brings it up, the owner should do something about it.
This is going to potentially sound racist here, but it might be smarter to hire people from the region of the cuisine you’re making at your eatery rather than people you try to train who don’t know what the flavors are supposed to be.
Well, the ‘front of house’ staff is amazing and Kabob Express always makes my toddler happy, so, hey, it’s an overall winner in our book.
Tip: Call 15 minutes before you get there so your order is ready to go.
Bonus: Halal certified.

This is a small place in a strip mall. Nothing against that as long as the food is good. And, the food was very good. Not the best middle eastern we’ve had and the menu was a bit limited, but still good and satisfying. I took off one star because I think it was just a tad higher in price than I think it should’ve been given the portions.
Although it was good, we’ll probably try other middle eastern places before returning. Not enough wow for the price. The 3 of us spent $ 40. At around $ 33, this would definitely would have been a 5 star experience.

Might be the best halal place in Vegas. I don’t give too many 5* reviews but this place deserves it. Service was outstanding. Our food was a little late to come out so the owner gave us another entrée for free. Didn’t need to but did it anyway. That’s awesome. I got a chicken shawarma wrap and it was outstanding. Meat was seasoned really well and everything was just very fresh. The sauces that come with it are really really spicy. I can handle my spice, so this was perfect. Prices are very fair and the portions are reasonable. Will always come back here whenever I’m in Vegas.

The owner did call me (not because of this review), but because his worker did tell him I wasn’t happy, so that impressed me. Most owners won’t do that.
He offered me a free meal & while it was ok, it still wasn’t upto the standards when I went there the first & second time. The eggplant dish was HUGE slabs of eggplant instead of chopped up, so I had to use my teetch to cut it. It also didn’t have that same taste.
Oh well, they tried.

Decent food here. Probably the best of the Arab/​Muddle eastern food places in the area that I’ve tried. I am disappointed in the Middle Eastern food in Vegas, but this place wasn’t bad.

This place is a dump. The place was totally empty! The inside needs a makeover. I ordered the chicken wrap it sucked all I can taste is lemon and its wrapped in a tortilla it’s more like Mexican food than middle eastern food.
I won’t be returning to this establishment.

This review is long overdue. My family, bfs family & I have been coming here for YEARS. Out of the many «kabob» places in Vegas this is our #1. We love it for so many reasons.
1. Location. It’s in central Vegas, close to a LOT of places.
2. Reasonable prices. This isn’t a restaurant where you get a small portion for your hard earned money.
3. The amount of food you get is more than satisfying, even the gyros & shwarmas.
4. The location is spacious, you will almost always find a place to sit.
5. You can ask to make your food spicy!
Overall, if you are looking to eat «kabobs» PICK THIS PLACE FIRST. You won’t regret it!

Truly a hidden gem located closer to the east side area!
Today was my first time trying kabob express and it definitely won’t be my last. I’m already planning when I’m gonna make my way back out to this place.
I had the tilipia kabob. It comes with rice, pico de gallo, pita bread, and salad. The Greek yogurt dressing was delicious and they have a house sauce that is green and a little spicy.
Not to mention the prices are amazing, 8.95 for the fish kabob and when you check in you get one free soft drink!

Today was my first visit here and I was not disappointed. I had the gyro sandwich which was made up of beef and lamb. There were red onions in there and other stuff that I couldn’t really see because it was tightly wrapped in the bread. It was very delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch.
I’ll be back to try other items on the menu!

This review is for food alone since the boyfriend is the one who checked in and picked up the food .
Beef Gyro — Standard pita stuffed with beef onion and tomato. Maybe they dont put lettuce so it wouldn’t get soggy wrapped in the warm pita and hot beef. For $ 5 I would eat it again they definitely didn’t skimp on the meat. Smother that bad boy in some of their yogurt sauce and it’s
.
Kofta Plate — ground beef seasoned yummily (I just made that word up !) and made into almost sausage. Then it’s grilled and served with rice, a salsa which is almost like pico de Gallo except it has cucumber and parsley instead of cilantro. Also comes with bread and Tzatziki sauce.
Been meaning to try and take it off my bookmarks. So great success !
