They are serving food in styrofoam containers to eat inside and in to go orders 😥. That’s bad. I came very hungry and wanted to eat inside, but they just proposed me styrofoam containers, and that is the only thing they have. No alternatives, no aluminum foils, no special plastic containers marked microwave-safe or normal plates. They have a larger containers of aluminum foils intended to large orders only. The food itself is not cheap, considering that they serve it in cheap styrofoam containers. I wanted to order lamb kebab and the price for to go or eat inside was $19.99 without tip or taxes.
I refused to eat there. And I had a feeling that they didn’t mind.
Styrofoam is generally not considered safe for hot food and therefore it is bad for human health when is placed hot food in it, as it can leach harmful chemicals. Also the foam can break down and transfer small plastic particles into food which can cause problem with health.
I was forced to go to another place to eat by being very hungry. I didn’t even have a chance to try their food since they don’t provide alternative plates. I don’t recommend this place for people who care about their health since it is not safe to eat from styrofoam containers.

They have Arabic store next to the cafeteria. They have fresh and good items there. I put overall two stars for the whole experience. They didn't give me to try their cheese as well which sale by weight. Well ok no try no buy. 😔

I recently attended a party catered by this establishment, and the food was the best middle eastern cuisine I’ve had in the AV area, which left me eager to have their full dining experience. According to Google, their hours extend until 9 PM, so I arrived at 7:20 PM. To my disappointment, I was informed that only takeout was available and was limited to just three options from a menu of 20+ items because they were preparing to close at 8 PM. I had specifically hoped to try the mixed grill platter, but it was not an option.

While the young staff member on duty was courteous, the service was disorganized. For instance, they were unable to provide pricing or names for desserts among many other instances.

Given the quality of the food, I am inclined to visit again, however, I strongly recommend they be more courteous to their paying customers.

I love coming here to eat and shop for International spices/food. The people are friendly. The selection is a bit small for shopping but I'm happy for what is available for purchase. Eating here is such a good idea. The dishes are outstanding.

BEST Mediterranean food there is in the Antelope Valley. It is a great hole in the wall that everyone must try. My husband and I have been going there for years and they have always been consistent in the food. We have tried other places annd they do not meet up to par with AV Kabob. Absolutely everything is delicious - quantity of everything is perfect, heck you can even share a plate. Like everything else, of course it might be a little pricy but I can assure you that you definitely pay what you get and they do not skimp out! It might not be the most luxurious place nor have “fancy” utensils and such to dine in, but all that shouldn’t matter for the quality and quantity of the food! Please try this place, I can assure you that you will never want to eat at another Mediterranean restaurant that is not AV Kabob. I will post pictures once we go again! AGAIN, THE BEST!!!

There are only 2 tables. Noone was there. We ordered at the counter from one of 2 employees. We waited 25 minutes sitting right next to the counter within vision drinking a coke waiting. After 25 minutes we asked how long. They said "For what?" They just took our order and walked away and did something else. Never even started our order. We left and went somewhere else. Won't try again. The menu wasn't that unique that I'd give them another shot. Just rude and bad business.

Take out dinner for two.
Beef and chicken kabob was good. The lamb was also really good. I will definitely come back again to take out. I had other local restaurants but wasn’t as good as this one. 👍🏼👍🏼

Hidden gem for sure! I ordered the lamb combo and wow, it is absolutely delicious. I am middle eastern so I know when I spot some gooood kabob. Whole meal was perfect with hummus and fresh yummy salad. Highly recommend.
