What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Kabab Café appeared in the episode "Feast of the Middle East," which featured the restaurant's Egyptian and Middle Eastern grilled dishes. Kabab Café is a restaurant on Steinway Street in Astoria, Queens, according to a Yelp business listing. That Yelp listing, updated 2026-07, showed 111 photos and 237 reviews with hours of Tuesday through Saturday 1pm to 9pm and Monday closed, and gave no indication the restaurant had closed. The listing also pointed to the restaurant's own ordering and reservation site at kabab-cafe.wa-cafe.com. No second independent source was checked for this record, so the current-open determination rests on the single, recently updated Yelp listing.
