Food was incredible! The new management has breathed fresh into this restaurant! The food is incredible, made fresh to order! They have a real charcoal grill and wood fire oven! The shawarma spins on fire, and make it juicy and sauc. I own a Daycare across the street and we order from therethree times a week! Pro tip, try the mint lemonade!

The food and service at Yummy Kabob were pretty average and didn’t leave a strong impression, but the hookah was good and probably the best part of the experience. Lamb Mandi 6/10 Mixed Grill 6/10 so hard to chew beef Sides 5/10
I honestly can’t recommend Yummys Kabob enough. From the second you walk in, the place has such a welcoming vibe. The owner is one of the nicest people you’ll meet and you can tell they genuinely care about every customer that comes through the door. It doesn’t feel like you’re just another order. it feels personal. One of the biggest reasons I’ll keep coming back is Faris, the Egyptian server. He’s super friendly, always smiling, and makes the whole experience feel like you’re eating back home with family. If you’re Egyptian you’ll know exactly what I mean. He talks to everyone, checks in on you, and makes the place feel comfortable instead of rushed.The chicken shawarma platter was honestly one of the best I’ve had in a while. The chicken was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the portions were really good. Everything on the plate tasted fresh, and you can tell they actually care about the quality of the food instead of just throwing it together.You have to try the lemon mint smoothie too. It was so refreshing and balanced perfectly—not too sweet and not too sour. It went so well with the meal that I’ll probably order it every time I come back.The whole atmosphere just ties everything together. The music was great, not too loud, and it gave the restaurant a really relaxed vibe. Sitting there, eating good food, listening to the music, and getting great service made it an awesome experience. Definitely one of those spots I’ll be coming back to and recommending to friends.
The lamb chops were absolutely outstanding—perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. The marination was well-balanced, enhancing the natural richness of the meat without overpowering it. Each bite was juicy what I really liked. The presentation was elegant, and the accompanying sides complemented the dish wonderfully. Without a doubt, these were some of the best lamb chops I’ve ever had. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates a perfectly prepared lamb dish!
I dined here on a Tuesday night with my date. We got the chicken shawarma platter with a side of butter chicken and naan, veggie samosa, and mango juice. He got the hookah. The service was a little slow because we had to wait a while for our check and it was not busy. The best dish was the chicken shawarma platter- I recommend. The ambience was also a very nice touch- the renovations look very good. Bathroom was clean. Side note- it is VERY cold here. Bring a jacket.
