Rice House of Kabob
About
Rice House of Kabob sits on Biscayne Boulevard in the northern part of North Miami, offering Mediterranean and Persian style grilled kabob plates in a corridor otherwise dominated by pizza and Asian restaurants. The name describes the format directly: grilled meats served over seasoned rice, a simple and consistent concept.
Typical menu items include chicken, beef, and koobideh kabobs, served with saffron rice, grilled tomato, and flatbread, along with hummus, salads, and other Mediterranean sides. It is a straightforward, protein-forward menu built for a filling lunch or dinner rather than small plates grazing, appealing to diners who want a full plate without ordering several separate dishes.
The setting is casual counter or quick-service style, common for kabob shops in South Florida, with the bulk of business likely coming from takeout orders by residents and workers along Biscayne Boulevard. It offers a lighter, grilled alternative to the fried and cheese-heavy options nearby on the same stretch of road.
Grilled kabob plates tend to hold up well for delivery and takeout in a way that fried food or pizza sometimes does not, which may explain why this format has found a niche on a corridor otherwise built around pizza and quick-fried options.
A plate of mixed kabob with saffron rice and grilled tomato is generally the default order for first-time customers at a shop like this, giving a sense of the kitchen’s grilling and seasoning before trying more specific cuts or stews on a return visit.
Customers looking for a lighter dinner than pizza or fried Caribbean food, without giving up a filling protein-and-rice plate, often gravitate toward a kabob restaurant like this one, which fills a specific niche among its heavier neighbors on Biscayne Boulevard.
A side of hummus or baba ghanoush ordered alongside a kabob plate is a common way to round out the meal at a Mediterranean restaurant like this, giving diners a bit of variety beyond the grilled meat and rice at the center of the plate.
Persian and Mediterranean kabob restaurants remain a fairly specific niche within North Miami’s food scene, and a shop like Rice House of Kabob gives the city a grilled, protein-forward option that stands apart from the pizza, sushi, and Caribbean food that otherwise dominates much of Biscayne Boulevard.
Rice House of Kabob is independently owned, adding Mediterranean and Persian flavors to the food options available along Biscayne Boulevard in North Miami, and it serves as a reliable choice for grilled kabob plates in the northern part of the city.
