Kebab Cafe — Restaurant in Arcata

Compact space with six tables and some stools next to harbor freight tools. Order at the counter from somewhat confusing menu. Fast food served on plastic with metal fork, beverages in cans or bottles or a plastic glass. Food is fresh and flavorful. There are hot sauces available in squeeze bottles, if you ask, there are sauces and flatbread on the side menu. The red pepper sauce in the stainless cup is mild. Hummus taziki and baba ganoush are all good. They don't make their own flatbread there, but they make their own falafel and it's very good. The habanero hot sauces with or without mango are homemade and pretty good. Staff of three are friendly and efficient. Food came out pretty fast with several other people there at lunch. We ordered lamb on a dinner plate, baba g with an extra bread and falafel sandwich with a cola for about forty bucks. I'll try the falafel...

I used to come here all the time when I lived across the street. Just came here with my husband and the service and food were a pretty big disappointment. We came in about 10 Minutes before closing and ordered a dinner plate and some skewers. We waited for about half an hour and when they called our order I was surprised to see that it was packaged to go.

I told the cashier we were still finishing our beers and our order was for here. They told me they were closed and they weren't serving dine in orders anymore. The food was cold and we only got half of our order. We had to wait longer for the other half. I was really disappointed because this place used...

The Kebab Cafe is in a small strip mall with easy access from the highway and plentiful parking. There are only a few tables, but most were getting orders to go.

The gyros sandwich was presented on a fresh baked pita with a good portion of well-cooked and tasty meat and plenty of veggie toppings. I opted for the red sauce, CA instead of the traditional tzatziki sauce. It was spicy, but not too hot and added a nice flavor.

The tabouli was good, with a nice blend of lemon tartness and minty freshness. All the veggies were fresh and crisp.

The staff was nice and the service prompt. Great spot to stop on a road trip when you've already had too much fast...
