"Been searching for good Mediterranean in Tyler for years. What About Kabobs is the answer.
About What About Kabobs
What About Kabobs brings authentic Mediterranean flavors to South Broadway Avenue, offering Tyler diners a fresh alternative to the typical East Texas dining scene. This family-owned establishment has quietly built a loyal following since opening, earning impressive ratings from visitors who discover its blend of traditional recipes and welcoming service. The restaurant occupies a modest storefront that focuses more on delivering exceptional food than flashy presentation, creating an unpretentious dining experience that lets the cuisine speak for itself.
The menu showcases classic Mediterranean staples executed with care and authenticity. Tender kabobs featuring marinated chicken, beef, and lamb take center stage, grilled to perfection and served alongside fragrant basmati rice and fresh vegetables. Diners rave about the generous portions of hummus, crispy falafel, and warm pita bread that accompany most entrees. The kitchen also prepares traditional dishes like shawarma and gyros, each seasoned with aromatic spices that transport taste buds straight to the Mediterranean coast.
The interior maintains a casual, comfortable atmosphere with simple decor that emphasizes function over form. Clean lines, warm lighting, and Middle Eastern touches create a relaxed environment where families and friends can enjoy leisurely meals together. The open kitchen allows diners to catch glimpses of the preparation process, adding an element of authenticity to the experience. Seating accommodates both intimate dinners and larger groups without feeling cramped or rushed.
What About Kabobs serves as an ideal destination for diners seeking flavorful, healthy options that break from Tyler’s traditional barbecue and Tex-Mex offerings. The restaurant works equally well for casual lunch meetings, family dinners, or date nights where conversation flows as easily as the Mediterranean hospitality. With its combination of authentic flavors, reasonable prices, and consistent quality, this South Broadway gem continues attracting both curious first-time visitors and devoted regulars.
