About Kababchi Grill
Our Story
Four Generations of Iraqi Grilling Tradition
Kababchi Grill is more than a restaurant. It is a family tradition.
Established in 2014, Kababchi Grill was created to bring authentic Iraqi grilled food to San Antonio and share the flavors that have been passed down through four generations of kabab makers.
"Kababchi" means Grill Master
It is a title earned through the skill and tradition of preparing exceptional grilled meats.
From Baghdad to San Antonio
Our roots trace back to Baghdad, Iraq, where charcoal grilling has long been an important part of family gatherings and celebrations.
Today, we continue those traditions by preparing food the same way generations before us did.
Authentic Iraqi Flavor
What makes Kababchi Grill different?
Our meats are grilled over charcoal.
This traditional cooking method creates the rich, smoky flavor that our guests love and that many restaurants simply cannot duplicate.
From beef kababs and lamb tikka to chicken shawarma and chargrilled chicken, every dish is prepared with care and attention to quality.
Almost everything on our menu is prepared fresh daily.
Family-Owned and Proudly Halal
As a family-owned restaurant, we believe great food brings people together.
We are proud to serve a 100% halal menu and welcome families, friends, and visitors looking for authentic Iraqi and Middle Eastern cuisine.
Whether you're dining with family, meeting friends, or trying Iraqi food for the first time, we want every guest to feel welcome.

Great food and great servicePosted on Google Nancy BenavidezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent. LOVE IT.Posted on Google American ExplorerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The grilled items were absolutely delicious—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and definitely the highlight of our meal. What made our visit even more special was their thoughtful gesture when they learned it was my son’s birthday. They kindly offered complimentary dondurma ice cream, which was such a sweet surprise and made his day even more memorable. The service was top-notch throughout—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. On top of that, the overall experience was great value for money. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be coming back!Posted on Google D. T.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent fresh food made-to-order with great care. Try chicken kabab, hummus. Honestly everything on the menu is really great. We have been going there for years. The best in town!Posted on Google Brandi MorganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Service can be a little slow but the food and atmosphere is worth itPosted on Google Gina SchultzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oh my goodness, goodness, GOODNESS! I LOVE THIS PLACE! We came to town for an event for 3 days and ate here 5 times - that's saying something! The hummus is so tasty and smooth - I can't get enough and I'm not actually a hummus fan - I can say I would eat this every day. The flatbread is freshmade when brought to the table and so tasty! It's perfect for the hummus. The gyro meat is spiced perfectly and delicious! The chicken tikka has so much flavor and is still so tender! My favorite, however, is the beef tikka - that was hands down the most flavorful steak I've ever eaten. My husband tried a piece (he doesn't typically eat red meat) and was so jealous - I had to fight him away from another piece! On our last day in town we went to have dessert because that was the only thing we hadn't yet tried. I had a pot of black tea milk tea and an order of basbousa. This combo was amazing! The tea was so flavorful and delicious and when combined with the sweetness of the basbousa made a perfect desert combination. There were no disappointments here. The atmosphere is very charming and they are very clean making sure to stay on top of messes and regular cleaning always and we loved getting to watch the world cup while eating. Service is impecciable and each employee we encountered was charming, helpful and we honestly couldn't have felt more welcome. I doubt I'll ever be back in San Antonio, but if I am, I will definitely be visiting again. I couldn't recommend this place more! Oh - one last thing - they stay open late! Being we were from the west coast, the change in time was easily accommodated for us due to this and if the restaurant isn't seating anymore, you can go to the other side and get the same food there. We did this once and it was just as wonderful! Thank you all!
