Mediterranean Kebab House | Our Story

From Our Family Kitchen to Yours

Mediterranean Kebab House was built on scratch-made recipes, open-flame cooking, and the kind of hospitality that makes strangers feel like regulars. This is how a family kitchen became Rochester's favorite table.

Owner Rona rooted Mediterranean Kebab House in the culinary traditions of Turkey, the Mediterranean, and Afghanistan. She brought those heritages to Rochester with one mission: cook the way families always have — from scratch, with care.

Kebabs are kissed by open flame until the outside chars and the inside stays tender. The hummus is ground fresh, the bread arrives warm — Chef Simon runs a kitchen where traditional technique is simply how dinner gets made.

Guests have called Rona "the momma you need in your life" — she remembers names, asks about your day, and plates portions generous enough to mean it. That warmth isn't a strategy; it's just who she is.

West Henrietta Road earned its loyal following one plate at a time, and a second home on Maiden Lane followed — driven entirely by word of mouth. Today, both kitchens keep generous hours, because Rochester night owls deserve a great meal too.
