Solid, generously portioned Persian-Mediterranean kabobs in a mall food court; best for skewers and combo plates, but service speed and consistency vary.
Why it gets a B- for overall quality
Massis Kabob delivers solid execution on its core strength—juicy, well-grilled chicken kabobs with generous portions—making it a reliable choice for quick Persian-Mediterranean dining. However, quality swings on rice, gyro, and occasional side omissions and inconsistent counter service prevent higher standing. Best experienced as a convenient mall destination for office orders and families rather than a special-trip venue.
Restaurant Summary
Set inside a busy Westfield food court, Massis Kabob runs on sizzling skewers, heaping rice, and the aroma of grilled tomatoes. The vibe is casual and bustling with buzzers for pickup and plenty of mall seating. One diner summed it up: "The chicken was unexpectedly tender and flavorful." Expect counter service pace that can slow during rushes. The cooking leans classic Persian-Mediterranean: koubideh, chicken barg, lamb chops, and familiar sides like hummus and Shirazi. When they are on, plates feel generous and satisfying, especially the chicken kabob and mixed combos. A few reviews flag bland gyro or dry rice, so order skewers fresh off the grill for the best experience. Families fare well here. Kids tend to like simple kabobs and rice, fries, and mild fish plates. There is a vegetarian falafel wrap and salads for lighter eaters. No formal kids menu, but portions are shareable, and family packs feed four to five without fuss.
