I’m visiting my son and his GF in Edmonton and decided to search out Middle Eastern food nearby and Kabsa popped up and had a good overall rating so I decided to give it a try. The atmosphere is clean and inviting and the menu is authentic looking and has a good variety. Being Lebanese I grew up eating this type of food but sadly don’t have much opportunities enjoy it these days so when I find a place that serves good food it brings me back to my childhood and reminds me of family gatherings and dinners at home I ordered the Adana Kebab platter which consists of ground lamb that’s been grilled, served on rice with a fattoush salad, hummus and toum (garlic dip) as well as pita bread. It also came with a bowl of split lentil soup (a personal favourite). The food portion is very generous and the freshness is without question. The tastes were so familiar and reminded me of my mother’s cooking! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and hope to come back again soon

I recently visited Kabsa Restaurant in Edmonton with a friend and had a wonderful experience. We tried the chicken mandi and lamb kebab, which were both very delicious and flavorful. The staff was friendly and the service was excellent. Prices are cheap, and there's plenty of parking available. We were also greeted with complimentary salad and Arabic tea. A great place to enjoy authentic Arabic dishes!

One of my most favorite places to get some healthy food that tastes amazing. I love the lamb mandi as it has a lot of meat and it's so tender and soft that it falls off the bone.

Masha Allah, the food was amazing! I really enjoyed every bite. It reminded me of the Kabsa I used to have in Saudi Arabia—the flavor was exactly the same! Truly an authentic and delicious experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Kabsa offers a fantastic taste of Middle Eastern cuisine, with its flavorful rice dishes that are packed with spices and tender meats. The Kabsa itself is a must-try, with its aromatic blend of seasonings, perfectly cooked rice, and juicy chicken or lamb. The portions are generous, making it a great value for the price. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it a perfect spot for enjoying a comforting, satisfying meal. If you love bold flavors and hearty dishes, Kabsa is definitely worth a visit!
