Shish Kabob Grill (Sahtain!) — Restaurant in Denver

A great family…a great restaurant…and great food…that’s what we discovered tonight at Kabob Grill. We had plans to eat Thai food tonight and came across this restaurant while walking from our hotel. We had had Middle Eastern food the day before at a restaurant in the Berkley area and were greatly disappointed. So tonight was all about satisfying our craving for our favorite cuisine.

We were not disappointed.

The food was marvelous. The favs beans, humus, green beans, Greek salad and falafel were all outstanding. I have a weakness for falafel and the falafel here were among the best I’ve eaten. With that said, I have worked throughout the Middle East and North Africa where such cuisine is home cooking. Here that is what you’ll find in this family owned and operated restaurant. A mother and father and their three sons offer great food at very reasonable prices. The service is excellent and it becomes very apparent that your experience of eating in their restaurant is important to them.

Family recipes…family cooking…and service with a smile that will make you feel welcomed and most pleased. The Shish Kaabob Grill will now be a favorite to revisit with our periodic visits to this great city.

Thanks to all in the family that made tonight’s discovery so special for us.

Give them a try…you’ll be...

Was craving some doner kabab (gyro) and found this place to have decent stuff.

The service was great other than the rude European sitting behind me yapping away on his work call on full volume speaker on his phone which was frankly annoying. The folks working here though are great.

I had the gyro sandwich/wrap. Several things that could improve on this in my opinion. The meat itself wasn't as 'smooth' if that makes sense. While it had flavor, the salt was a tad bit extra and the texture was just lacking that slight smoothness I'm used to.

The pita was not fresh unfortunately. That would be my biggest complaint. While I do get this is a fast food place kind of a joint, you gotta have fresh pita.

It came with a side and I selected the onion rings; they were TERRIFIC. Freshly fried and HOT.

I do feel for the quantity of the meat, the $12.99 was slightly steep. Given that they do give a side with this, I'd say the $9.99 or $10.99 at most is the right price based on the amount of meat that was provided.

All in all, I did like my time here and the ambience. Simple, clean and quiet (if not for the guy behind me). I will definitely come here again before I leave Denver to try one of their...

I would give 0 stars if I could. I merely visited this place based on high ratings. Either reviewers have not visited a good middle-eastern restaurant before or affiliated with the establishment. Let me explain. We first gave our orders: I ordered a lamb shish kabob platter, while my son ordered kofta kabob on a Friday afternoon. After giving the order, I noticed how filty the restaurant was. There were a trash can near the cooking area that was filled to the top and never emptied. The dirty cookware were all over the food prep area. It was too late to cancel our order. We were the only customers, yet we have not received our order until after 50 min later. When I received my lamb kabob, it came as raw although I asked to be well done. My son's kofta kabob was all burned and tasteless. When lamb kabob arrived, it was half burned so I had to cut all the burned sides with a knife. My half of the dish was gone. What was also funny is the fact that this guys marinated the lamb using a stupid ketchup. I never eaten a lamb shish marinated with a ketchup so childishly done. Don't understand how this restaurant did not go into bankrupcy. It was our first time, that we left our food at the...
