Shish Kabob Cafe

NOTE THAT MOST OF THEIR GOOD REVIEWS ARE YEARS OLD!This place is not good and their food is clearly old. We arrived shortly after 11 in the morning so everything should have been fresh. We placed a to-go order in the restaurant and waited for our food to be "made." The pita was super hard and dry, the hummus went sour by the next morning even though it was in the fridge (definitely not a good sign! I have no idea how old it was by the time they gave it to me), the meat tasted very old. I was fully expecting to get food poisoning after eating here. Never going back and I'd recommend you never go. I should have paid attention as there was no one is the restaurant the whole time we were in there. There are so many better Mediterranean style places!

Food is delicious! I'd recommend coming here, the falafel is actually HUGE and delicious. They are so accommodating and sweet. My boyfriend got the lamb gyro plate and it was so flavorful. I'll definitely be coming back.

What a classic old time favorite of mine . Love the chicken shawarma plate with a side of hummus . Can't go wrong . Always consistent!

One of THE BEST places into eat in Katy. Absolutely delicious grilled meats, nan bread and hummus, gyros and chicken shawarma. The owner is always there personally cooking up your dishes to order and making sure everything it too itch. You can taste the love and pride that goes into this food. Hummus is some of the best I have ever had. Favorite dishes include the Chicken Soltani combo plate with grilled chicken and beef kabobs and the chicken shawarma wraps. You will love it!

Stopped here for lunch with one of my favorite seniors for lunch because we were craving some Persian food and had an hour to kill before our next appointment. Usually we go to the oldest one in Houston that's been around for ages so fairly or unfairly, we couldn't help but compare the two places as both are cafe style /no frills style restaurants where you order, get the self service cup for a drink, sit down and they bring your food for you. I prefer this style over restaurants that have a waiter, especially for lunch but the vibe wasn't the friendliest. I kind of get it because this is more of a mom and pop type operation where the owner and a small staff do everything but considering the prices are slightly higher than the other place and it wasn't crowded, it could have been more friendly. I ordered a Chelo Kabob (skewered ground meat / rice) and the old guy got his favorite lamb shank and rice. The food itself was very good. The kabob was nice and thick and tasted fresh and tender. The rice was a little too soggy with butter for my taste it didn't stop me from finishing it all. The lamb shank was a bit plain but well cooked. Again, I hate to compare two places together but the there was only one tomato with the kabob and there was no sabzi (table veggies - mint, etc.), not even a wedge of lemon for the water. In the other place, you can just pick a bowl full of the stuff and they come and offer you tea and such. You can't have Persian food without some sabzi on the side. Perhaps they had it if asked for but again, nobody was really around so I didn't want to bother them. Overall, it's a great place for lunch or carryout, so you'd have some nice food. Perhaps my experience with the other stuff was just a misunderstanding so I'll be back when in the area.

Food was great owner has always been friendly and respectful...Works hard to make everyone happy..Nice place to be relax and enjoy the day ...Price is fair and was always lots of people for lunch or afternoon delight...He works hard and makes sure you will enjoy...

Great small restaurant in the Katy area. Meats are Juicy and very flavorful. Restaurant never seems busy so getting food was very quick. Would come by here if looking for something quick while your significant other shops in the nearby stores.

Food was ok but the place is tired and so is the staff. I normally stay away from negative reviews but we were not very happy with the lunch food and service.

Worst customer service. Food is expensive for quality. The owner is very rude.You can notice reviews are old or fake.

Very rude service almost racist attitude will never go back. Poor customer service haven't even tried the food, but that don't matter at this point.
