    The best Iraqi Kebab in the western United States. Do you know the word kebab is originally from Iraq, from Akkadian word Kebabo 5 thousand years ago.

    Highly recommend if you’re in the area! We got the big platter or sheesh kabab, chicken kabab pieces and tikka with the sides of pickles, tomatoes, onions and bread. Oh my goodness it tasted heavenly! The seasoning was magnificent, the food was fresh and the amount was more than enough.

    This place is really nice. We come here all the time. The kebabs are a bit greasy, but still very good. The prices are also very reasonable. I even come all the way from Irvine just for this.
