A shish kabob broiler is a gas charbroiler built for skewered meats and vegetables. Skewers rest across the cooking area just above the heat, so kebab, kofta, souvlaki, chicken tikka and vegetables cook evenly and pick up real chargrilled flavour. Babak Food Equipment offers Royal shish kabob broilers for Persian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and South Asian restaurants, grills and caterers across Vancouver and British Columbia.

Types of shish kabob broilers

Countertop kabob broilers

Countertop units sit on an equipment stand or refrigerated chef base, keeping skewers, marinated meat and the broiler in one compact station.

Wide, high-volume broilers

Wider broilers hold more skewers at once and suit restaurants where kebabs are the core of the menu or where catering orders come in large batches.

Skewer racks and grates

Many kabob broilers can be used with skewer racks for kebabs or a standard grate for burgers, steaks and vegetables, giving one unit two jobs.

How to choose a shish kabob broiler

• Width and skewer count: estimate how many skewers you cook at peak and choose a width that holds them with room to turn.
• Gas type: confirm natural gas or propane and the gas line size at the station.
• Burner controls: independent burner controls let you run hot and cooler zones for different meats.
• Base and height: plan a sturdy stand or chef base at a comfortable working height.
• Hood and cleaning: place the broiler under your exhaust hood and look for a removable drip or grease tray.

Frequently asked questions

What is a shish kabob broiler?

It is a commercial charbroiler set up for skewers. The skewers sit just above the burners so meat and vegetables cook evenly with a chargrilled finish.

Gas or electric – which is better for kebabs?

Most commercial kabob broilers are gas, because a gas shish kabob broiler delivers the high heat and char flavour cooks expect.

Can I cook other foods on a kabob broiler?

Yes. With a standard grate in place, the same broiler can cook burgers, steaks, chicken and grilled vegetables.
