Owner George Bisili creates the standout dishes using his family’s traditional recipes, always ensuring fresh ingredients are used in abundance.

Sharing these beloved, reasonably priced foods throughout San Luis Obispo County was George’s motivation for starting the truck, and he’s stayed true to his motivators. Kabob House has quickly become a favorite for locals who welcome the new dining option along the short strip of California coastline that makes up San Simeon, a town called home by fewer than 500 residents.

Savory, richly spiced meals like plates of falafel (smashed chickpea fritters) or the beef and chicken shawarma (a classic dish of seasoned meats placed vertically on a spit and slow-roasted), come with an assortment of sides: rice, vegetables or, a personal favorite, the incredibly flavorful tzatziki (strained yogurt and cucumbers, olive oil, garlic, salt, lemon juice and an assortment of green herbs). To contrast the tzatziki is the delicate, whipped texture of the hummus, a spread made from ground chickpeas and sesame seeds, lemon, garlic and olive oil. Here, it is always homemade.
