Kabob Korner — Restaurant in Bel Air

Let me tell you about the spiritual experience I had at Kabob Korner. I ordered the King’s Kabob Feast, expecting a decent dinner for my family of six. What I got was a royal banquet that could’ve fed a small village...or at least the cast of a Fast & Furious movie. Meat for days. There was so much food I thought they were secretly filming an episode of Man v. Food in the back. My toddler was using naan as a pillow. My teenager wept tears of joy. My wife said, “This is better than our wedding food,” and I agreed… out loud… in front of her.

Then I met David, the owner, and I swear this man has main character energy. He came out, greeted us like we were long-lost cousins, and shared the story behind the restaurant. I won’t spoil it, but let’s just say Hollywood should option the movie rights. Before the story, he handed me a lentil soup sample, and I wasn’t ready. I took one sip and blacked out for a second. Woke up hugging the bowl, whispering, “I love you.” It was that good.

Everything was seasoned perfectly. The kabobs were tender like they’d been marinated in love and good decisions. The rice was so fluffy I considered putting some in a Ziploc to use as a travel pillow. The sauces? Don’t get me started. I’d inject that green sauce into my veins if that wasn’t frowned upon by society and the FDA.

And don’t let the word “feast” fool you, this was a post-apocalyptic ration supply disguised as dinner. We had leftovers for days. I started naming them. “Goodnight, Lamb Love Linda. See you at lunch.”

If you haven’t been to Kabob Korner, you’re doing lunch and life wrong. Skip therapy and just eat here instead. Would give me stars...

Absolutely fantastic food and service!

Went today with my wife and 6 year old son for the first time and were blown away. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting, which was only bolstered by the gentleman at the counter. As it was our first time at Kabob Korner, he walked us through the menu options and offered some recommendations.

After taking our seats, we were offered turmeric soup as an appetizer. The soup was delicious with a wonderful blend of both spices and textures.

Our main course, which arrived quickly and was beautifully plated, was incredible. I ordered the saffron chicken and kofta (ground lamb) kabobs combo with the specialty rice, my wife hand the saffron chicken kabobs with the specialty rice and my son ordered the kids chicken tenders and waffle fries. The saffron chicken was very tender and had a perfect balance of char and seasoning. The kofta was easily the best I've had, perfectly seasoned and cooked. The rice was delicious and had a tasty combination of flavors. Both plates also came with a delicious salsa. My son raved about the chicken tenders as well.

While eating, the gentleman from the counter approached and asked if we would like to try his new mango coconut curry. It was very smooth and flavorful.

We highly recommend the Kabob Korner and will definitely...

This place is highly deserving of anyone's patronage.

David, the owner, is a consummate professional through and through. He and his staff are warm and hospitable, and the love and confidence in what they produce is clear when they guide you through the menu. First time I came here, Chris took care of me and it was immediately clear the place is staffed with a crew that has an earnest investment in making a wide range of food that speaks for itself and in making everyone feel well taken care of.

The beef burrito is the best I've had in a long time let alone in the area. I was admittedly emotional at the first bite. Their curry is balanced, rich and flavorful, their hummus is high quality, their deserts are delicious and not overly sweet (the pistachio cheesecake is nuts, so is their tres leches).

Everything I've ordered thus far is generously portioned and made with quality ingredients. Whether you're in the mood for mexican food, middle eastern, mediteranian, wings, a smash burger, vegetarian whatever, you're covered.

All in all I haven't been this relieved for a restaurant to open in a long time....
