" Crave Kabob has become my new go-to spot for Mediterranean food! I love the grilled chicken platter every time—it’s juicy and flavorful, served with fresh sides. The staff is attentive and makes you feel at home. The only downside is that the restaurant can get quite busy during lunch hour, making it a little difficult to find seating at times. However, the food is worth the wait. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Crave Kabob is fantastic! I ordered the vegetarian platter for my first visit. The falafel was crisp, the tabbouleh was refreshing, and the garlic sauce topped it all off perfectly. I was impressed with how clean and organized the place was. One note, the seating area was a little tight, which made it difficult to move around, but overall, the atmosphere had a nice vibe to it. I am definitely coming back, especially to try the shawarma! " (*Curated Review*)

I’ll definitely make plans to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoy eating at Crave Kabob, but I have to be honest—the wait times can be frustrating at peak hours. The food makes up for it, as the flavors are truly authentic and reminiscent of home-cooked meals. I appreciate the portion sizes; they are generous and satisfying. However, the atmosphere can feel crowded, and seating is limited. If you have the patience to wait, it’s definitely worth it for a quality meal. " (*Curated Review*)
