This place should definitely be more popular! The service is exceptional as they go above and beyond to ensure that you’re having a good experience. The food was very well seasoned. Beef kabob was moist and flavorful, chicken shawarma was not dry, and the rice/salad was a great pairing. Tahini sauce was phenomenal and definitely the extra boost that elevated the dishes to the next level. If you want a solid middle eastern dining experience, this place can’t go wrong.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

An Absolute Hidden Gem on Devon! I just had an amazing meal at Nineveh Kabab Inn on Devon. It’s a small, easy-to-miss spot between Ted’s grocery and Levinson’s bakery, but absolutely worth finding. The owner/chef, Geroge, was incredibly kind. While my wife and I were deciding what to order, he offered us a few falafels, and they were honestly the best I’ve ever had (and I don’t even like falafel). I got the beef shawarma sandwich with tahini, and we split a Nineveh salad and added an order of falafel. Everything was super fresh and flavorful. While we waited, the chef also gave us some Turkish pastries, which were a nice surprise. We left completely full and happy. Definitely going back. The falafels are to die for.

The food was utterly amazing! Only thing better than the food was the fantastic service! It feels like home here. Grab a drink, chit chat with friends and the amazing people here at Zabiha Halal aka Nineveh Kebob Express! One suggestion: try the mouth watering falafels 🤤
