    Probably the best Moby Dick ever I've had. The best part was Turkish grocery part. I enjoyed mostly buying eastern goods. But honestly didn't like what they're putting on top of rice(supposed to be butter but it was clearly margarine) And saffron ice cream was the best of the end of dinner.

    Ordered delivery and wasn't too impressed with the packaging nor taste of the food. Got the gyro, something simple but it had more lettuce then meat. The food was also cold and I didn't receive utensils. So this review rating is focused more on service then anything else.

    I felt I had to put a lot of the yogurt sauce in order to make it edible. I can say thou, it is a nice portion if you are hungry and at an affordable price. May need to eat in restaurant and maybe my experience is better. But for now, don't think that it matters whether I order the gyro in store or online, it should have a nice amount of meat in balance with the amount of lettuce. 3 stars it is.

    This is probably the best fast food you can find anywhere. The kabobs were very delicious and their beef meat didn't taste like the trashy stuff you get everywhere else. For 15 dollars you can get a nice meal with grilled meats and extra traditionally made bread and yogurt. Also ask them about their freshly made yogurt drink called Doogh

    Yum!! The first thing that struck me about the place is the portions - they were huge!

    All entrees come with pita bread and yogurt dip to start. This was nice to hold me over until my food came out, because I was super hungry and had to wait quite a bit for my order. The yogurt was tangy and refreshing - my favorite part of the meal!

    I tried the combo with chicken breast kabob and kubideh. Both were very tasty. I got it with half rice and half salad - although if I realized there was bread included, I probably would have just gotten a full side of salad. Bread and rice just felt like a little too much carbs for me! All in all, it was tons of food and all really good.

    Moby Dick is a famous book about a whale. Very long wikipedia page and apparently a lengthy book. What does the story have to do with middle eastern food? I'm not sure, but maybe I'll read it some day to figure out the connection. And in case your wondering, Moby Dick House of Kabob does not serve whale.

    The food was okay, nothing special. During my most recent visit, I had the Spicy Ground Chicken Kabob with half salad, half, rice, and pita bread. The pita bread was fresh, hot, right out of the oven. Tzatziki sauce is provided with it which is delicious. The rice has cheese and a small stick of butter in it. I just want plain basmati rice. No need to fancy up the rice. I'm tired of places jazzing up the food too much. It makes me want to just cook more myself sometimes, so I make it my way.The salad is romaine lettuce, with cucumbers, olives, tomatoes and feta cheese. I like that they have feta cheese, definitely one of my favorite cheeses, right behind fresh mozzarella. The chicken was good, not too spicy, but flavorful enough. I would get the salad and no rice for future visits.

    The staff could do a better job cleaning this place up. Many of the tables had leftover food and drinks on them from previous customers. Eventually, they cleaned it up towards the end of my visit, but the place just didn't feel that clean. If you download the app, you get a $2 credit towards your food which is nice.
