Located about 1.5 miles north of downtown Chandler, Magic Kabob is a great addition to the Chandler ethnic restaurant scene. The restaurant has just opened and I visited on a Sunday afternoon and the grand opening sign was flapping in the breeze. I ordered the Chicken Kafta sandwich lunch special which includes either french fries or soup. I went with the soup which was a tasty crushed lentil. The kafta was wrapped in a thin pita and had a garlic sauce with an assortment of chopped pickles which was excellent. Normally in I think of kafta as a finely ground meat, but in this case there were chucks of marinated chicken.
The restaurant is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner and I will definitely be stopping by again to try some of the entrees like grilled lamb chops or vegetarian ghallaba which is a savory Lebanese stew. For vegetarians there are the usual options for a middle eastern restaurant (tabbouli, fattoush, falafel, stuffed grape leaves, hommous, and baba ghannooj etc) and few specialty items.
