Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
These 20 reviews do not converge on a single verdict. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 5.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.
No one in this corpus comments on value for money at all. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (19 of 20). Of the 20 rated reviews, 19 sit at four stars or better and 1 at two or below.
On the health side, the most recent DBPR inspection returned a C (76/100) with 2 intermediate and 15 basic violations — middling, much like the reviews. The visit behind that grade was April 28, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. That puts it ahead of 14% of graded kitchens in Orange County. For specifics, the last inspection cited cross-contamination and in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.
This is a listing where the two measures each tell half the story. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

Edit: 06/20/2026 The service was unbelievable while I was having breakfast at this cafe. The food was fantastic and the amenities were great. I want to shout out Mohammad and the others for the phenomenal service and the refreshing watermelon they had. If you like Middle Eastern Food, this is the place for you. 🥙

The food here is great, but the true star is the service. The waiter was courteous and happened to be preparing the same meal my sister had ordered. He actually made sure that one just freshly made was given to my sister so she didn't have to wait. He didn't need to do that but he went above and beyond with the service, places like this deserve a lot of customers. As for the food I ordered the mixed tandoor platter. It was not only well spiced, but when they said grilled they meant it. This place brought me meat with excellent an excellent char and I truly believe this spot is a hidden gem.

We had an exceptional experience here at Kabsah! The lamb haneeth was incredibly tender and delicious. We had salad, lamb soup and fahsah as well and all were excellent. Next time we’re visiting Orlando we will have to make sure this is a mandatory stop again. Thank you for taking care of us Mohamed!
