" The food at Kabab Express is absolutely delicious but the service can sometimes take a while when they're busy. We ordered the lamb kabob, and it was tender and flavorful. The complimentary bread was a nice touch too. I appreciate the friendly atmosphere, but maybe they need a few more hands during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kabab Express is my new go-to place for Persian food! The garlic sauce is addictive, and I can't stop thinking about the fresh, warm naan.
