The server at Kibabchis has a poor attitude but the food is good. I recommended the rotisserie chicken with fries and a kunaffeh for dessert. Didn't get a pic of the food but they have cute cats outside.

Jayme is an exceptional waiter, the best of all!!!! It is evident how caring she is of her tables. I am a regular here and she pays exceptional attention to each and every person she encounters. Her kindness, dependability, and hardworking nature truly shines through her interactions. Jayme sets an incredible example for what great service and care should be. <3

I’ve been in the US for only 1 year now and this place makes me feel like I’m back home again. The food is delicious, space is clean and everyone is very helpful. For anyone wanting to eat the best middle eastern food in San Antonio, this is the spot!

Very good Mediterranean food in a relaxed, chilled atmosphere. I like to come here after the lunch rush for a relaxing mid-afternoon lunch. The lunch combos are the BEST!! The lunch special include a meat such as lamb, gyro, shawarma (sp?), a very good salad, a WONDERFUL and HUGE piece of flatbread and a drink all for around $8 - $10. In short, the food is very good to excellent and the atmosphere is casual and relaxing. I don't smoke but Shisha also offers Hookah complete with a variety of flavors (not sure if it's tobacco or what). I love this place!!

I’ve been here so many times, it’s embarrassing that I haven’t left a review yet… this is my go-to. I can’t speak highly enough of the owners and staff - good people all around, and I’ve been here through quite a few staff rotations and I’m never disappointed. The hookah is top notch… food is all halal… coffee and desserts… boba tea… everything here is excellent. If you don’t try the rice at least once you’re missing out. I love this place! During Ramadan I can come here and break my fast and they give out dates and soup for free if you’re fasting. Seriously an excellent place to be, no matter the day of the week. Always sports playing on the TVs. When it’s cold they bring out the space heaters. Did I mention that I love this place? If you don’t want to smoke - they own the place next door and you can dine in all the same. What else do you want?

The food was amazing! We loved every dish that came out. I haven't had such smooth, flavorful hummus since I ate it in the Middle East. The kabobs were all perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Finally, the service was friendly and efficient. We will be back!

The place has the best middle eastern food in San Antonio. The portions are really nice. The shawarma family meal is amazing! Mix platter is really nice too. I would recommend to go with the family, kids and adults.

First time going here; the vibe of the restaurant was very lively. When I first arrived I was told to sit anywhere so I sit down with my husband and then we were told by a waitress, “I need you to sit somewhere else, we’re going to get busy later and we don’t need two people taking up a big table,” No problem!! but this could have been worded very differently rather than this being my first impression of the staff. Our waitress was very nice but didn’t seem to care about how she served us, it was just about getting us in and out. The food was amazing, the environment was nice, but the staff needs to improve their communication with customers.
