This friendly little dive has delicious food! We had our dog so sat outside where it was perfectly comfortable on a windy day. We started with the baba ganoush (eggplant dip) which was just the right amount of smokiness. And the bread was fresh. The schwarma rice plate with perfectly seasoned and cooked; it came with plentiful rice and a small salad with creamy dressing (honey dijon?). The "KEFTA MELT" was a stand-out, where you could taste the ground lamb (mixed with beef) and the melted cheese put it over the top for flavor. The housemade hot sauce was SO good, not too spicy. Their baklava was perfect, too, moist and fresh. The service was friendly and efficient. King of Kabab Kahled and the other cook checked on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. Most people were coming in for takeout orders, maybe because the inside dining space was small. Highly recommend for reasonably-priced, authentic to-go orders and casual outdoor dining with pets.

It’s a small establish but the food was fantastic. I had chicken kebabs, rice and hummus. Berkeley does have a good amount of wonderful places to eat and this one was really great. I’m glad I came here to eat and cannot wait to go again.

Delicious kabab plates with a lovely showcase of desserts. The food is fresh, reasonably priced, and their lamb is well worth it. They don't have much seating space (2 2-person tables) and a restroom that's well-maintained. All the meals are served in to go containers with fast preparation!

We love this place. Food, service and price are excellent! Do make sure you try their desserts! They are so delightful or ask for Turkish Coffee. Strongly recommend!

Decent Mediterranean food and good portions. Chicken shawarma was good but ended up a bit soggy after the drive home. There’s a couple short term street parking spots outside. Patio in the back available for outdoor dining. Overall quality of food was average but friendly service!

Hella yummy halal Jordanian food from Chef Khaled. The hummus is so creamy and olive oil is like liquid gold. The pita bread is on the thinner side. The lamb and beef kofta is to die for, plus dat green sauce mm! I couldn't stop salivating over the seasoned rice. Do yourself a favor and get some Jordanian food from King of Kabab. Maybe get Turkish delight on display if you're feeling a sweet treat. Lovely gents making this yummy food! Will be back.

Stopped by on my way home and found a great find that I hope to enjoy for years to come. Aside from exceptionally reasonable prices (most places charge at least a couple bucks more), the flavors here are vibrant and wonderful. Looking forward to try the Gyros here. Rice is especially delicious. If you are hungry, stop by King of Kebabs today! You will not regret. I forgot my Turkish Delight 😢 but I will post pictures of next time!

The team members of this restaurant are very friendly and welcoming. The food is fresh and delicious, there are plenty of vegetarian options. I had the Meza plate and it was excellent and a generous portion. The baklava amazing as well. Totally recommended

Absolutely fantastic and well-seasoned Kabab And Gyros, freshly cut off a hot spit, and served with fresh lavash bread and Middle Eastern pastries to knock your goddamn socks off. Highly recommended

came for the kofte and then had the best turkish delight of my life. instantly bought 2 more (they’re like $2). this is NOT some hip SF joint this is legit authentic food. I felt like I was right back in Turkey.

Easily the best gyro I've ever had. Meat seasoned perfectly, the whole thing was super saucy and the lavash was fresh. Even the side salad was delicious. Oh and in this economy those prices are hard to beat.

The plates here are delicious. This place made me a fan of lamb and beef kabob - super tender! The plates come with really good sides and the freshest hummus I’ve had apart from homemade! Staff is friendly too!

I love this place. It is a hidden gen. The food is amazing. The salad is my favorite, and their sweets are so good. They have an outside area to eat at, closed off, and a great vibe. I work in the neighborhood, and they always have customers. I love their dressing. Prices are good too.

I’ve been coming regularly since they opened. They never disappoint and are always adding new atmosphere. All the meat plates are perfect. The red pepper sauce reminds me of the malgueta (sp?) pepper sauce that our Portuguese family devours

King of Kebab is up there with the best! If you like kebab plates and wraps, this is a must try. -Lamb&Beef Wrap was hefty, not too much meat and not too much filling. The perfect combo. The wrap was a little bit salty but no other complaints and my salt radar is usually sensitive. - Baklava was really good as well

R
Rob murphy

Great food at a reasonable price, the portions were generous. I guess it’s more of a takeout place but they have a beautiful, small patio will sit about 15 on a nice day like I was there . The service was excellent. very friendly.

I was excited to try this place out because of its healthier options compared to McDonald’s. I ordered the beef n lamb gyro. The gentleman taking my order was tentative and whipped up my food quickly. All of the sides are a la carte … meaning you pay extra for it. So the only thing that came with my wrap was a tiny salad. The food was tasty yet nothing stood out to me. It was the average of a majority of the Mediterranean restaurants I’ve patronized. Overall, when you’re hungry and want this genre of food it gets the job done.

The service was nice, but the food was disappointing. The chicken meat was expired, the taste was terrible which annoyed me and my coworkers all day. They should focus on providing fresh meat and ensure food safety standards are met.
