House of Kabob & Gyros — Restaurant in Mobile

I ordered from here using the Waitr app. I love all kinds of greek, mediterranean, and various middle eastern kinds of food so I was fairly excited to try this place. It ended up being a confusing meal.

The fries and side of falafel were terrible. The hummus was okay at best but the pita with it was good. My chicken pita was just okay, a bit dry. It was more flavorful than the hummus so I added hummus to the sandwich for moisture. The tabouli and the meat on the gyro plate was good. The rice that came with it had a decent flavor but had a strange texture. The tzatziki cucumber yogurt sauce was practically flavorless and the mint yogurt drink was SUPER salty.

The meal over all was disappointing for the two of us. It was confusing because some of the things were really good and some of it was just unacceptable. Usually you get one level, not such a mixed bag of good and bad. And to top off the strange and mildly unpleasant meal the two of us both got really ill in the middle of the night after we'd had a little while to digest. I don't know if it was a fluke or not, or if there was some other external factor, but I am never ordering anything...

I ordered through DoorDash. For some reason I think restaurants think when they send it through door dash they aren’t responsible for quality? I am going to start reviewing places from DoorDash on google reviews in the hopes others will do the same. That way we can check before we waste money. Looks like this place is fairly well liked. But what I received was not anything worth trying. I ordered through here and requested the gyro plate with taboule and extra* taziki sauce. This “entree” came to just under $20 with extra sauce, which they charge for. Also stuffed grape leaves. No grape leaves. $8. Literally two tablespoons of sauce. A decent portion of meat. But to be honest Greek is my favorite cuisine and this was the driest I’ve ever had. I threw it away....

I love supporting small business, especially family businesses. When I visited this restaurant on a quiet Wednesday evening I was served by a very polite young man in his teens while his father prepared my order and his younger brother stirring about. A family business indeed!

The gyros on a pita was very tasty and quite hearty. It came with fries that were good but unspectacular. Along with a drink, that came to just under $10. Perhaps a touch steep but not a showstopper.

I also tried the samosa which were filled with a delicious ground beef preparation. A little different for me since I've usually only had potato or vegetable samosas.

Definitely...
