" 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*)
