Part of the The Kebab Shop chain — see all 54 locationsThe Kebab Shop is based on a concept popularized throughout Europe. Kebab shops are as prevalent there as burger joints are in the USA. If you've never been to a kebab shop in Europe, you'll have to stop in and experience what you've been missing. You'll find a delicious array of slowly cooked rotisserie meats and made-to-order grilled meats, seafood, and veggies. In addition, our 11 freshly prepared Mediterranean inspired salads and Crispy Falafel, Golden Fries and Saffron Rice will complement your cravings. Our menu appears deceptively simple but is purposely designed to provide you the freedom to decide exactly how you want your meal made. We offer all of this in a comfortable setting with courteous staff so you can gather with your family and friends and share a great meal together.
Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status. From the management: 'Bay Area locations have halal carved chicken, halal carved lamb and beef, and halal grilled chicken kebab. San Diego, LA, Austin, and Orange County locations have halal carved lamb and beef. We understand and respect that the issue of Halal food can be quite complex, and there are a range of opinions surrounding this issue. Our goal is to be open and transparent so you can make an informed decision on whether to dine with us. Please note that we serve non-Halal meats and sell alcohol.'

First time visit. We have heard of the Kebab Shop from friend back home in Brea, so luckily we found a location during our day trip to North San Diego County. Well it did not disappoint. The sauces are great. Try the chili sauce with some garlic yogurt. Wifey had the grilled chicken bowl, and I had the beef and lamb. Will admit hers was better. My beef and lamb was tasty, but the slices were unmanageably long - couldn’t dip them in the sauces. Yes they do have plastic knives, but I was hoping for tenderness. Overall the combination of flavors was great satisfying and the staff was super nice and professional. Restroom was clean as well as the venue. Definitely making it to our rotation. Even though it may be closer in the OC.
