I tried Abo Alabed for the first time yesterday. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be this good because the reviews were a bit mixed. We ordered the regular & spicy musahab sandwiches along with a whole grilled chicken, & everything was absolutely delicious.
We enjoyed it so much that we went back again today & ordered the same thing. The grilled chicken was tender, juicy, & full of flavor-not dry at all. It was perfectly seasoned without being overpowering.
The musahab sandwich was amazing. The balance between the garlic sauce & the chicken was just right, & every bite was fresh & flavorful.
I also have to mention how incredibly clean the restaurant was. It honestly reminded me of being back home, both in terms of the cleanliness & the quality of the food.
Definitely a 10/10. I'll definitely be coming back!

'The food was very good, especially the chich grilled sandwich. The chicken was flavorful, juicy, & freshly prepared. The staff were friendly & the restaurant was clean. The only downside was the wait time - it took about 35 minutes to get my sandwich, which felt a bit long. That said, the quality of the food made up for it. Overall, a good experience & I would come back again.'

Absolutely amazing experience! The charcoal chicken was perfectly grilled-juicy, flavorful, & cooked to perfection with that authentic smoky taste. The kebab was good but next time i will change the toppings.
Without a doubt one of the best places for charcoal chicken & kebabs. Highly recommended-we'll definitely be coming back!
