“ The food is amazing! Everything made in house and tastes very authentic. (I forgot to take photos of the food when it arrived at our table. We went right in- but I did take pictures on the inside of the restaurant.) The Lula kabob was tender, the steak was juicy and cooked to perfection, rice is fluffy & soft, chicken was not dry and had the perfect char to it, the cucumber yogurt was fresh and not watered down, garlic spread was excellent, and their salads crisp and fresh. Delicious! The restaurant is clean and very organized. *the restroom was in tip top shape also, weirdly enough, this is import at to me. I hate a nasty bathroom at a restaurant* We came in for an early dinner, off time per se- but I'm glad we did as there was a huge party due to come in later the evening. The customer service was spectacular and the ambiance was chill! We will make the drive to Abu's! The owners are super friendly and down to earth! It was like we've know them for years!!! Like family, Wow. We love to support good people! We love it here. See you soon ”

“ Amazing, Awesome! Were looking for chicken shawarma around the town and end up ordering here. Wow the taste & flavors were simply unique. Hot sauce is homemade and out of this world. Quantity, Quality & customer service is great too. Must try & we would be the regular customer from now. ”

“ This restaurant was a great experience for me! I loved the ambience and the overall simple yet artistic layout of the whole place. The food was amazing, one of the best mediterran places i've visited in a while. Last thing i'd like to comment on is the owner/cashier who served me. She was super nice and made me laugh more times than I could count! I seriously fell in love with this place and if recommend it heavily to any newcomers ”

“ This is the 5th time I've had Abu 5 times and the food was absolutely incredible every time! I ordered the beef filet mignon and chicken thigh combo, and it came with perfectly seasoned, juicy meat, a massive portion, buttery fluffy rice and perfect hummus Everything tasted homemade with unique spices. If you're in Pasadena and craving some amazing Middle Eastern food, Abu Kabab is a must try. I'm a regular now for sure! ”

“ We got here early on weekday and found parking in front, there is also parking in back but kinda small. One person taking order and is also the one serving food. So be patient. We ordered the plates which comes with two sides it's a lot of food. I ate half and had the rest the next day. Really cute interior they also have outdoor seating. Good to try them out. ”

“ This was our second 5-star visit in 2 weeks. Last time, we ordered for pickup. This time we ate there. Stelios was there, always with a smile and good humor. Today we tried: *Spinach pie - served piping hot out of the oven, crispy delicate dough with fresh spinach and herbs baked inside. *Chicken kabob - (a la carte order is one huge long kabob!) delicious minced chicken meat with herbs, grilled on open flame to perfection. Tender and juicy. *Lentil soup - honestly didn't expect it to be this good. So much flavor and even a little kick to it. Perfect for this cold, gray Pasadena day. *Lule kabob and chicken thigh plate - this was a repeat from 2 weeks ago because it's just that good. Served with fluffy yellow rice, 2 sides (we chose mutabel & cucumber yogurt). Next time, we're going to try the moussaka and one of their salads. This is a hidden gem on Lake. Don't miss out! ”

“ This is the best kebab in Pasadena, hands down. The quality of the meat is top tier and the marinations are very flavorful, but not overpowering. The rice is cooked perfectly, and the garlic paste has a lighter taste than Zankou, which I actually prefer. The owners are wonderful, and they create a lovely and comfortable environment. This restaurant warms my heart. Thank you very much for existing and providing such high quality food at a very reasonable price. Debatably the best food in Pasadena ”

“ Family owned business with delicious food. I ordered for take out and was so happy while eating dinner and enjoying their wonderful flavors. The rice was buttery and lemony. Hummus was nice and smooth. Babaganush was smoky from the toasted eggplant and delicious on bread. The chicken was juicy and perfectly marinated. We loved it and so did our kids. Call ahead, order and take it home to share the love. ”

“ Probably the best Lebanese food I've had, but with Greek flair. I got the chicken lule kabob plate with the tabbouleh and the cucumber yogurt, which was basically a tzatziki. Both sides were extremely fresh and added a nice tartness to the meal, which was a welcome relief. Let's talk about the lule kabob. It was juicy and extremely well seasoned. It packed a PUNCH. The owner mentioned he used Greek seasoning, and it's the most flavorful lule kabob I've had, which are in my experience usually dry and one-note when it comes to spices. The rice was well cooked as well, finished with olive oil and a little salt. Honestly, one of the best meals I've had in the area. If I lived here I'd be back weekly. ”
