Top Kebab shops in Brooklyn, United States

Excellent experience of a new cuisine for me. Modest difficulty with the menu app - some pictures and some descriptions were missing and some items were not available. (No crab salad. 😞😄) Fantastic Greek salad and tasty soups and kebobs. Possibly a European app since maximum default tip was only 12% so I entered a custom tip. Very friendly and helpful staff. I totally enjoyed this unique experience.

The food was amazing. Very large portions. Nice environment and friendly staff. Had very nice Afghani Food 🔥🔥🔥

So good. Rice was aromatic but not overpowering, spinach was creamy and delicious, lamb was spiced to perfection. Great portion sizes for the price as well

Overall good food, no complaints. Friendly staff. Costs are fine as well. Samosas could use a little more meat. The lamb shank was delicious and very filling. The rice dishes could use a little more rice since it wasn't enough for one person. Had to order a little more rice.

I drove all the way from Jersey to try this place, and it was absolutely worth it 10/10! The food was fresh, clean, and delicious, with flavors that reminded me so much of Moroccan cuisine. Highly recommend!!!!

Want to try everything on the menu. Soups are really good. Really worth exploring.

The food was amazing. Very large portions. Nice environment and friendly staff. Lamb korma was very good and the rice pudding was delicious. I hope to come back and I recommend this place to everyone.

Review: 5/5 Stars

I recently visited Dunya Kabab House for the first time, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! The ambiance of the place is warm and inviting, making it perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt welcomed from the moment we walked in.

As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. I opted for the shrimp kebabs, and they were cooked to perfection – juicy, flavorful, and seasoned just right. My friend had the chicken kebabs, which were equally delightful, tender, and full of rich, aromatic spices. The portion sizes were generous, and we both left feeling very satisfied.

In terms of pricing, Dunya Kabab House offers great value for money. The prices are quite reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes of the dishes. It's definitely a place where you can enjoy a hearty, delicious meal without breaking the bank.

Overall, Dunya Kabab House exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious kebabs and a pleasant dining experience. I will certainly be returning to try more items from their menu!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dunya Kabab House, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome that set the tone for the evening. The food was nothing short of spectacular. My visit was a delightful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food and outstanding service. I look forward to my next visit and exploring more of their fantastic menu.

This is one of the best Afghan restaurants I have been to. This is coming from someone whose friend's brother owned an Afghan Restaurant. I came there with my friend and were very impressed with the service and quality of the food. Their sabzi is the best I have had. The Qabuli pulao was amazing. The Bulani and Mantu were good. Will be going back very soon a d bringing friends and family.

Finally, a place that does kebabs right!

You can see from the picture that the lamb I cut into is moist but not red, just slightly pink. Perfectly cooked and tender. You can also see the juicy drippings from the other kebabs on the plate in the background. I ordered the ground beef, lamb loin and liver. They were all well seasoned. Would definitely come back again.

Overview:

This is a very nice neighborhood establishment intended for the nearby Uzbeki community. For those unfamiliar, it would be fair to say it's a cross between Russian and Turkish cuisine; very much indicative of the region... (look up Uzbekistan on Google Maps).

Vibe:

I would characterize this place as great for solo diners looking for a quick lunch or dinner; also great for a couple/few dude-friends grabbing a quick bite. This is not a place I would send my gf, wife or daughter into alone... Characteristic to the culture it represents, there's a masculine forward energy to this institution; I would bring my gf/wife here for dinner but def not unaccompanied. The back dining area has a very local male community colloquial vibe. The main dining area can be a bit busy with groups of loud male patrons bursting in regularly, waking to and from the counter/display case and a very obvious and drastic josteling dip in the floorboards below your chair as they do so. I can be somewhat boystrous at times...

Service:

Service here is absolutely attentive, accommodating and welcoming. With that said, it's not western style structured table service. Standard staples such as glasses and knives (to cut your meat) aren't necessarily brought without asking. There is a self-service element to this place. You CAN order from the (digital QR code) menu alone, but it's much more comprehensive to simply stand up and check the huge glass display case for what's available. Same applies to paying, you can call a waiter to ask for the check but most clearly approach the checkout counter... If you do order the check there's no tip line on the receipt, so walking up is preferable is you want to...

Food:

Very simply this is a (shish) kabob/skewer house. While there are some supplemental items on the larger menu, such as soups and salads. This is primarily a place to go for meat, fish and veggie skewers. Those unfamiliar, however, with Uzbeki cuisine be advised, the meat is HIGHLY (over?) seasoned. It's meant to be offset by other elements served such as the accompanying red sauce, raw onion plate and special Uzbeki bread that is a cross between like a keiser roll and pita bread; it's firm but fluffy. With the accoutrements the flavors really do balance out nicely, so reserve judgement of the seasoning for the overall balance... Dating diners be advised this cuisine is highly raw onion oriented 😉😂. As a Muslim culture/institution obviously no alcohol is served or offered; I would recommend not BYOB either.

Cost:

Unlike other ethnic eateries in the immediately adjacent/surrounding areas, Uzbeki places are on the higher end. I wouldn't characterize it as super expensive but a very far cry from the Pakistani and Bangladeshi offerings in the area. Uzbeki will run you at least $40-50 per person. However it is certainly a lighter, healthier option.

They got a good selection of kebabs, including chicken, beef, lamb, and liver. Food seems authentic but nothing too special. They also make baklava. Unfortunately, the lady at the counter did not speak English, so I couldn't effectively communicate with her.

Food was fresh and tasty, service was great, and atmosphere is so cute. They have the cutest decorations on the walls including paintings and a map. I ordered the chicken kebab without the qabuli and it was delicious and fresh. They have complimentary sauces on the table and I added the white sauce and a red sauce and it enhanced the flavors! 10/10

We came after the nearby world spa 💅. Some of the most tender and authentic kebab. The lula and beef were soft and juicy and the onion and dill vinegar were perfect accompaniments. A hidden gem.

The borscht is unbelievably good, rich and meaty, as were the beef kabobs. The bread was toasted and dry. Good french fries. Service was, shall we say, unconcerned.

Immaculate kurutob dish and shish kebab were good as well, definitely come back again

Absolutely delicious- we ordered a garden salad, tandoor bread, lamb lula kabab, lamb chops, lamb ribs, beef roll and a few other things but the lamp chops and lula kabab were the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend and will definitely be back with my kids

Outstanding grilled meats .super fresh super delicious. The place is real simple .so is the service. It's a locals only type of place . But they are starting to welcome outsiders. Definitely some of the best shishka.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shalshik House in Brooklyn, and I have to say, the kabob was simply amazing, the best I've ever had! My favorite was definitely he Lula kabob and lamb chop. I ate it along with their red sauce and raw vinegar sliced onion, it was perfect!
While the ambience may be nothing fancy, it has a certain charm and coziness that makes you feel right at home.
The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. I also appreciated the reasonable prices, especially for the high quality of the food. It’s as authentic it can get! All in all, Shalshik House is a hidden gem that I will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended to anyone in the area looking for delicious and authentic kabobs!

Homy feeling atmosphere, the food was great (but a bit late). The place wasn't busy, but really great food and service.

Just delicious! I’ve had here the most delicious dumpling soup in entire New York. And waiter guy also was so polite and informative. Thank you

Every Uzbek should visit this place. Awesome and Halal Kebabs with vinegar onions were served by Shahzod, he cooked them so well, very juicy and super soft to chew. Cold ayran was the cherry on top of it! Definitely will be coming back next time I visit New York.

An Uzbek friend recommended we try this place, so we made the trip out to Kensington. I can say without exaggerating that this place has the best Lula kebab I've had in the city. It's out of this world. It's a family run operation and they don't have a menu, but you can point to whatever you'd like in their display case. Everything we tried was excellent, and the prices can't be beat for the quality of food you are getting. Worth a trip if you're coming from other parts of the city.
