From Google Maps reviews.
Kabab Express is a great spot for fresh and flavorful food. The salad was very fresh with a perfect mix of greens, vegetables, and generous toppings. The sauces were especially impressive rich, well-seasoned, and added a lot of flavor to the dish. Everything tasted clean and well-prepared. The portion size was satisfying, and the overall quality was excellent. Definitely a place worth coming back to for a quick and tasty meal.
Was looking around and decided to try this place out! The bowl is really good for its price in downtown Manhattan. I got the mix over rice for 12.99. It's packed with rice, lamb, chicken (the meats were tender). You can choose if you want lettuce or the diced cumbers and tomato. I also choose feta cheese, cucumbers, hummus and white sauce to go with it. First time trying and I would definitely come again. Plus there's a 10% discount for Baruch College students!
It’s been a long while since I had an experience (service) like this in Manhattan, good food, full bowl, the price is acceptable! Perfect service! Sifoullah was very helpful! First time trying this restaurant and will come again to get Sifoullah serving and recommending!
