Signature Chicken Kabob Plate
You can taste the marinade in every bite of the chicken kabob plate, a lemon-garlic blend that stays bright without overwhelming the meat. The skewers arrive with perfect char, glistening over a fluffy bed of saffron-tinted rice. A crisp salad and warm pita round out the plate so you can scoop, wrap, and build every bite your way.
Ask for an extra side of their tangy yogurt sauce, then swipe a piece of chicken through it with a bit of rice. The contrast of smoky edges and cool creaminess is exactly what keeps you reaching for another forkful. You will likely notice the grill working nonstop, sending out kabobs that taste consistent visit after visit.
Portions make sharing easy, though leftovers heat up nicely for lunch the next day. If you want variety, add a side of pickled veggies for a bright snap. It is the kind of plate that hits familiar notes while still feeling special enough for a night out, and it truly showcases how Murfreesboro Kabob balances seasoning, texture, and honest grilling.
Lamb Kofta with Rice and Salad
The lamb kofta here is deeply aromatic, shaped into tender logs that stay juicy despite the grill heat. Spices show up in layers rather than volume, so you get cinnamon whispering behind cumin and parsley. Paired with rice that separates into distinct grains, each bite feels clean, balanced, and satisfying.
There is a drizzle of tahini that ties it all together, nutty and light with a lemon lift. You can fold kofta into warm pita, add salad, and create a handheld feast that drips just enough to be fun. The salad brings crunch and brightness, with tomatoes and cucumbers tossed in a restrained vinaigrette.
If lamb is your comfort order, this version is the one to beat. The kitchen respects the meat, never overworking or overcooking it. It makes a strong case for keeping kofta in your regular rotation at Murfreesboro Kabob.
Falafel Plate with Tahini
Falafel can be hit or miss, but here it is textbook: crunchy outside, bright green inside, and fragrant with cilantro and parsley. The center stays moist without turning dense, and the seasoning leans savory with a hint of garlic. Dipped into silky tahini, the chickpea flavor really pops.
Order the plate for a complete meal with salad, hummus, and warm pita. You can build little falafel pockets with tahini and pickles, which adds a sharp, addictive bite. Everything lands hot and freshly fried, so that first crackle when you cut in feels incredibly satisfying.
Vegetarians have plenty to celebrate, but even meat lovers end up snagging extra falafel from the table. It is affordable, filling, and reliably crisp. If you are new to Murfreesboro Kabob, this plate is a friendly introduction that still shows off the kitchen’s attention to detail.
Beef Shawarma Wrap
The beef shawarma wrap is bold and satisfying, stacked with thinly sliced, marinated beef that carries warm spice and gentle char. Garlic sauce adds a creamy kick without drowning the meat. Pickles cut through the richness with a snappy tang that wakes up your palate.
The wrap arrives tightly griddled, so every bite holds together. You get a comforting mix of textures, from crisped edges of flatbread to silky folds of beef. It is easy to eat on the go, but worth sitting down for with extra garlic sauce and a side of fries.
If you love straightforward, no-fuss flavor, this is your move. The portion is generous, and the seasoning keeps it interesting to the last bite. It is the kind of wrap that explains why regulars keep circling back for simple, well-made food that respects the classics.
Mixed Grill Feast
When you want to sample the best of Murfreesboro Kabob, the mixed grill is the way to go. It typically features chicken kabob, lamb kofta, and beef skewers arranged over rice with grilled vegetables. The platter lands at the table like a centerpiece, colorful and inviting for sharing.
Each protein offers a distinct personality: lemony chicken, herb-forward lamb, and beef with smoky depth. You can customize bites with sauces and salad, building different combinations as you go. Passing pieces around the table feels generous and social, perfect for a relaxed night with friends.
It is not just quantity, though. The grill work is precise, creating layered char without losing tenderness. Order this when you want both abundance and balance, and you will quickly see why it earns repeat orders among regulars.
House Hummus with Warm Pita
The hummus here is exceptionally smooth, with a gentle lemon tang and a lush olive oil finish. It is the kind you swipe absentmindedly until the bowl goes quiet, scooping with warm pita that arrives fluffy and hot. A sprinkle of paprika and parsley adds color without overshadowing the chickpeas.
If you want a little heat, ask for a side of chili paste to swirl in. The bowl turns into a personalized dip that balances creamy and bright. It is a simple starter that buys time while the grill works its magic, and it never disappoints.
Sharing is natural, but you might want to order two for the table. This hummus shows restraint and confidence in equal measure. It tells you a lot about the kitchen’s priorities: clean flavors, careful seasoning, and thoughtful textures that keep you dipping nonstop.
Garlic Fries Side
These fries are everything you want next to a wrap or kabob: hot, crisp, and tossed with garlicky goodness. They arrive golden with just enough salt to make the edges sing. Dip them into the house garlic sauce and the savory punch doubles in the best way.
Despite the flavor, they never feel heavy. The texture stays light and snappy, even as the heat steams from the basket. They pair well with shawarma, but also make a fun snack if you are just grabbing something quick.
Order a basket for the table and watch them disappear. The portion is generous enough to share, though solo missions happen. If you are a fan of bold, simple sides done right, these fries do not need dressing up to win you over.
Chicken Shawarma Plate
The chicken shawarma plate brings tender, marinated slices that taste both savory and citrusy. There is a gentle spice profile that never overwhelms, letting the chicken stay the star. Paired with rice, salad, and pickles, it becomes a balanced meal with color and crunch.
Garlic sauce ties everything together, especially when you drag each bite through a generous swipe. Some pieces carry caramelized edges that deliver a soft crackle of char. It is a plate that satisfies without feeling heavy, great for a weekday lunch or easy dinner.
Regulars love how consistent the seasoning stays from visit to visit. You can lean into the tang with extra pickles or mellow it with more rice. However you customize it, the plate shows off the kitchen’s steady hand with marination and slicing.
Vegetarian Combo Sampler
If you like to graze, the vegetarian combo is a treasure trove. Expect hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, tabbouleh, and often dolmas, all arranged so you can mix and match. Each bite offers a different texture and acid level, keeping the plate exciting.
The baba ganoush is smoky and silky, while the tabbouleh pops with lemon and parsley. Falafel adds crunch and warmth, and the dolmas bring herbal rice wrapped snugly in grape leaves. With warm pita on the side, it becomes a complete, filling meal.
It is ideal for sharing or for anyone who wants a break from meat without losing flavor. The freshness is obvious, from the brightness of herbs to the clean finish of the dips. You end up leaving satisfied but not weighed down, which is exactly what makes this combo a go-to.
Baba Ganoush Dip
The baba ganoush leans smoky and plush, with roasted eggplant whipped to a gentle cream. A swirl of olive oil and a sprinkle of herbs lift the sweetness of the vegetable. It is subtle, not bitter, and lets the char flavor linger pleasantly.
Grab a torn piece of pita and scoop deeply to catch those silky ridges. The texture is luxurious without turning heavy, making it easy to snack through an entire bowl. You may find yourself switching between hummus and baba just to chase different highs.
As a starter, it sets a relaxed tone for the meal. The dip plays well with grilled meats later, especially chicken kabob. If you appreciate roasted flavors and thoughtful restraint, this baba ganoush quietly delivers exactly that.
Greek Salad with Feta
The Greek salad is crisp and lively, built on juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and briny olives. Cubes of feta add creamy saltiness that ties the vegetables together. A lemon-forward vinaigrette keeps things fresh and light.
It works perfectly as a stand-alone lunch or as a side next to any grilled plate. The onions are sliced thin for snap without overpowering bites. You can ask for extra feta if you like a richer finish.
It is the kind of salad that resets your palate between bites of kabob or shawarma. Everything tastes clean, and the herbs feel intentional rather than decorative. When you want color, crunch, and balance, this salad hits all the right notes.
Cilantro Garlic Sauce
This cilantro garlic sauce is the secret weapon of many plates here. It is bright, creamy, and intensely fragrant without veering into harshness. A spoonful wakes up grilled meats, sandwiches, and even fries.
The texture is just thick enough to cling to kabob without slipping off. You can streak it across rice or tame it with yogurt if you want a milder ride. It works nicely alongside tahini and garlic sauce, adding a green herbal note.
