Original Gourmet Kebab

Changed up my taste palate for the day, and decided to try a cuisine I usually never explore! And what I have here is the... KEBAB!

The Kebab originated from the Middle East, and is essentially pieces of meat on a skewer stick! I had opt to try the lamb kebab plate (which is a combo with fries, pita and hummus!)

The lamb kebab left me craving for more since the the lamb was chewy and juicy. For some reason, I expected it to be dried and small in pieces but nope!! This food truck was generous with the meat portion, and the taste was amazing even thought it was only 2 skewers! They even provided extra sauce to dip the lamb.

We got 2 warm pieces of pita which we dip like crazy in the hummus. They even provided too much hummus that I felt guilty tossing in the end.

And y'all know, the fries was fabulous as well! Toasty and warm, and the ketchup is self served!

Only 1 star off for pricing! The plate was $17, which is pricey for lunch.

I don't even know how to start... their kebabs are so delicious! I got to try some of their food while at Strand Brewing in Torrance and it was AMAZING. The wait wasn't bad either, after ordering it took less than 10 mins for our food to come to us. I would 100% come back to have more food.

I have had alot of middle eastern food and this is top quality. The portion size is very large with excellent hummus. The lamb was flavorful and tender as it should be in large chunks with delicious veges.

Service by Sean is excellent.

The $12 price is reasonable for the large portion size and high quality.

I'm excited to try their other items.

We visited this food truck while at the Streetfood Cinema. The quantity of food was so surprising! So much food! The falafel was perfectly cooked on the OG Falafel Bowl. I was a big fan and would look forward to returning and trying the kebabs.

We had the opportunity to shoot a wedding that was catered to by Original Gourmet Kebab and it was SO delicious! They actually went out of their way to make sure the bride and groom were served even though they couldn't get their truck closer to the reception area because of the venue's layout. They teamed up with the servers at The 1909 venue and were able to walk the food down to the area that the bride, groom, and wedding guests were. They made sure our clients were satisfied and we were able to get ourselves plates too! I highly recommend them for your wedding or just any event you may have; especially if your theme is Mediterranean.

I had the chicken kebab plate today. I definitely preferred the bowl. The guy taking the orders is friendly and helpful. I couldn't decide on fries, rice or salad, and he let me get any two. I got the rice and salad. The salad had a nice dressing on it.

On the down side, the chicken was a bit dry, probably because it was the healthy breast meat. The humus was also a bit bland. This was a little surprising since their sauces are all so good, especially the garlic. I think next time, if I get humus, I'll ask them to add a bit of the garlic sauce to it.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. The guy who took my order was super nice and made a fabulous recommendation to me by suggestion I get my kebab cooked medium... this was by far the most tender and buttery beef I've ever had from any Mediterranean joint and even better than some fancier restaurants/steakhouses. The flavor was good and the portions were hefty. The cook really jam packed as much food as they could in my plate but hey I'm not complaining!

The plate cost me $16 but I would gladly order from them again any other time. The tabbouleh was yummy and the hummus went great with the fries. Highly recommend!

Our rice had raw pieces ... everything else was fine they even gave us a bag of pita bread so not professional. Not even homemade.

This food truck will occasionally stop by at the Fresco Community Market in the LA neighborhood at Hermon for dinner on Mondays. And when they are there, I will always make sure to stop by and pick something up! I have only been there a couple of times, but their food has NOT disappointed. I have ordered their chicken kebab plate and their kebab plate (with the seasoned filet mignon) and they are both so delicious! My hubby absolutely LOVES the chicken kebab plate and that is probably his favorite. The chicken is very juicy and well seasoned. The tabbouleh that comes with it is also very good. My husband has never tried tabbouleh before, but now he is absolutely hooked.... The meat on the kebab place is also really yummy! I really appreciate the fact that they will cook it to the exact temperature that you want...

BTW, Shawn took my order and he was really friendly and really nice... AND Marilyn (the one who shouts for you when your order is ready) was really nice too!

I most definitely will always get food from them.. as long as they keep coming back to the Fresco Market!

This truck came to Jazz on the Lawn in Santa Monica today. Way too slow to be a food truck. When I ordered they told me it would take about 15 minutes. After 45 I gave up on waiting, for a refund and tried to enjoy the rest of the event (hungry). If I hadn't asked for a refund, I'm afraid I still might be waiting for my order!!

Pass on this one if you are hungry. Pass on it if you're and event organizer and get a truck with better service.
