House Of Kabob

#4 & #8 on the menu were outstanding! The lentil soup it's the best I've ever had. And the service is always very pleasant.

Ate at House of Kabob on a Sat afternoon and they were delicious. They cook it to order so it takes a minimum of 15 to get food but you can order their smooth lentil soup to tide you and your kids over. Very friendly.

Absolutely aweful

A little hole in the wall place that's worth finding. Limited menu but everything is good.

1/2star

Amazing lentil soup, amazingly delicious chicken kabob!

A bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but really good Persian food. The staff is very welcoming.

Amazing food, very nice people. I'm telling everyone I know about this place!

"House of Kabob" is one of those "hole-in-the-wall" ethnic joints you might find in the west 40's of Hell's Kitchen... like in the brutalist shadow of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, only this one is on Sparkman Drive in the lee of the University overpass. The analogy comes to mind because I have found similar joints in the canyons of Manhattan - a busy counter even when empty, sonorous Farsi ballads wafting from a tape deck, and an avuncular owner prideful of his own slice of the Dream. In a way, House of Kabob is a lot like Tony's Little Italy - the 1990's one in the trailer park behind the airport that sold Sathers marshmellows with your pink pasta alfredo in a pie-crust dish - with Tony and his wife cooking up a come-and-go-lately Huntsville legend on a shoestring. I've often tried to grill chelow kabobs myself, but far from being Persian, mine tended to crumble and resemble things unflattering. At House of Kabob you can get authentic Persian kabobs - chicken, lamb, beef - served on a bed of turmeric and saffron rice with cucumber yogurt and a grilled fresh tomato. The prices are quite reasonable especially given the serving sizes, and the complimentary barley soup was sublime enough to feel like I was the one that was tipped. If you've wanted more food choices for Huntsville, House of Kabob is a choice you should be making.

Another great Persian restaurant with delicious Iranian food, good as I use to eat in Tehran.
