Best Kebab and Tikka in San Diego and El Cajon — Sinbad Mediterranean Cuisine

Tikka and kebab are where the charcoal grill does the talking, and at Sinbad, that grill runs constantly. Our Chicken Tikka comes as two full skewers served over rice with a side of your choice and garlic sauce and flatbread. Our Beef Tikka is the same two-skewer portion, finished with grilled onions and tomatoes instead, served with flatbread.

Both are grilled to order, never pre-cooked and reheated, which is what gives them the char and smokiness that a lot of “kebab” in San Diego is missing. It’s a straightforward dish done right — quality meat, real charcoal grilling, and sides that actually complement it instead of filling the plate.

For anyone comparing kebab and tikka spots across San Diego and El Cajon, this is grilled the traditional way, every time, not mass-prepped ahead of service.
