Kebab Chefs! - Restaurant Simulator

great game but theres a lot of texts missing, only place holders are here

Full of Gamebreaking Bugs and they already annouce the next Cash-Grab Game.
Seems like Devs dont care about this Game anymore. Watch out so you dont get scammed.

Game has come quite a ways since purchase. I enjoy the regular updates and especially their road map for this year. Assuming they are able to get through all of the things on their list, the playability and enjoyment will skyrocket.

Fun enough as is, glitches and all, but absolutely looking forward to what's to come.

The game is suitable for those who like to role-play the cooking business. You can play alone or with friends. But there is a problem that the game has been out for a year, I hope the publisher will actively fix the game's serious errors such as save games and customer bugs.

There is alot to say about what went wrong with this game. Here are a few of the disappointments.

• Core features of the game like placing objects in the apartment or the kitchen are very buggy and sometimes wont even place
  
• The development goals of the dev team have been missed consistently and the updates that do come out add very little gameplay value
  
[*]The devs, after a long time of very little update info have decided to announce the project they were actually working on the whole time

Crazy complex and challenging, Love it!!

This game is immersive and fun, but when i tried to pour a little soup back into the pot it freaked out. if i look away took fast when placing something it ends up not where i chose it to be. And table snapping is super finicky and annoying, i cant tell where I'm supposed to look for the big tables, it just stays red an occasionally snaps opposite what i want for a split second, its very sensitive.

funn coop game, still buggy but playeble and fun

Don´t and I repeat DO NOT buy this game under any circumstances!

While it started out to be a fun coop game, it´s currently broken beyond repair. For almost a year now, my friends and I can´t finish a single game and every single time they claim to have fixed something, it just breaks even more. I am not even exaggerating! After every patch, we want to believe that it might work now, but no. Since last summer, we still can´t finish a single day after booting it up, without the game crashing for someone, the recipe not working, something getting stuck or some other issues. Literally, NOT A SINGLE DAY! Absolutely disappointing after the fun we had at the start. We give up....

I am beyond disappointed with this game. Multiplayer is so bugged. Every time i pick this up with a friend its unplayable. This is my first bad steam review and i really see so much potential in this game. I really want to love it but its very hard to when every time you try and play its too broken. This isn't a new game, i understand its still early access but i expect some of these problems to be fixed.

Get some friends and play this, it's super fun! As of writing it's still early access and we encountered a few bugs like dishwashing and placing things not working - solved by re-hosting. No game-breaking bugs so far

Solid, well built restaurant sim.

nice game

Thanks for nothing after adding new achievments for a stupid christmas event.
Still no content after the 2024 roadmap was not reached at all.

Too many bugs to properly play this game with friends

I learned how to cook irl (i burned my house)

Apparently when I add the correct items to the chicken soup. And serve. It says in missing lemon juice? I've added the correct water, chicken, chicken broth and lemons.

Fun simple cooking game with support for co-op play. A few weird things here and there but as this genre of games stands, this is surprisingly one of the best available.

its very good i like the thing that you can just go out and buy what you need not like you have it all already. I totally recommend it for others

kebab :)

Hey! Only been playing for an hour or so, but i keep on encountering a glitch. Every time I enter the Blackjack table, I can't exit. It might be a skill issue, but i just cant figure out how to get out. I end up having to just teleport back home, which works, but is annoying.

While I WILL say I think this game is very fun, it is VERY buggy, and I ONLY recommend you play it if you are willing to reset every now and then and suffer through some trial and error with minimal tutorial. I, for the life of me, cannot make soup by following the recipe. Something always separates, usually the butter. I've tried everything. Luckily, I have the option of just not serving soup, which is fine.

The graphics are what I would call the "Cute" range. Not a lot of lagging or clipping, but man, the mechanics in this game REALLY need a workover. Its pretty rough fumbling with items and organizing shelves.

finally a game where i can be carmy and stress myself out over a menu i have full control over, yell at the dish boy for being nosy as i chop my meat, and let my ocd shine without dumb coworkers messing up my system. would say better with friends, but im a control freak and find it soothing to do everything myself

oh man this is so buggy. The phone won't stop ringing (so annoying), the instructions are damn unclear, and the dish-washing near sink takes too many tries to pop up for the option to wash. I kept putting dirty tray basket into the sink again and again, wash option showed up after 5 tries?

I'll ask for refund from steam.

I love this game! It's really fun and goofy with friends!

✔️ The cooking is fun and reminds me of another game called "cooking sim"
✔️ I enjoy the progression you get!
✔️ I enjoy how fun multiplayer can be ( especially playing with people that can't cook )
✔️ Having accessable menu's to be able to make different things are always really nice to have!

❌ There are a LOT of very weird bugs to do with multiplayer that sometimes brick the game in ways that confuse the hell out of me. ( Moving the serving trays sometimes glitches dishes and makes them rot when they aren't existant on others screens )
❌ de-sync issues happen frequently when playing which leaves a LOT of confusion!
❌ Later on in the game you get so much money that unlocking every single item in the game is as simple as cooking 9 dishes in a single day. With four people on your team, that's quite an easy thing to do. Me and my friends went from 14k - 50k in a single day.
❌ A lot of the chef's orders are confusing and left us having to turn to reddit to understand what to do.
❌ The way a lot of the cooking orders are worded confuse me a lot personally. "Cook for 30 seconds" doesn't make sense because the chicken doesn't get cooked at all in that time. If I cook for literally 30 seconds, I get told I am "undercooking". If I took for the full duration I am "overcooking".


overall, I enjoy this game a LOT and I'm really excited for the future updates!!

Kebab Chefs is phenomenal! I've been playing KC for almost a year and always had fun. But the most important
thing is: This game has the best developers. They actually listen to their players. Forget microtransactions,
"balance changes" and "long awaited functions"(Looking at you EA and Ubi) We get updates we want. May it be a large update with new content or a quality of life update where they finally make double doors open in the same direction, they deliver. So to all the devs, thank you folks I love this game!

This game is super neat. The updates are also substantial.

Idee ist nicht schlecht wenn das Game funktioniert.
Tutorial gespielt Softlock.

Items verschwinden manchmal etc. Man merkt das es Early Access ist aber das dass in den ersten paar Minuten auftritt.

Außerdem gibst nen nervigen Sound bug am Anfang. Wo das Telefon dauerhaft klingelt.

I like eating bass. This is about kebabs. A kebab is not a bass.

love kibab and gambling im veri tankful for kibab

I love playing cooking simulator/management games and this one just ain't it ):

This game is cursed. I play for a day, stop playing, then play again, and ohhh—it’s a day (or a few days) ago again. Playing Kebab Simulator feels like being stuck in an endless loop of: Did my game save, or am I going to replay the day(s) again because it didn’t save?

Which is sad because I really enjoy this game. It’s fun, has enough cooking variety, and even lets you gamble—to the great dismay of my girlfriend when I lose everything on a 50k bet. But hey, just take a loan and gamble it all back again, right?

Another fun bug: the toilet room can only be opened once, which is a new issue. How can you use this? Lock the person you’re playing with in the room and go gamble...

To sum it up: it’s a fun game, but not worth full price or your time until they fix the save game issue. Other bugs are not game breaking this one is..........

Ein extrem spanendes Spiel.
Ich finde es toll wie ich in der Küche hart arbeite nur um ein Geld an eine Glubschaugentusi aus dem Paulanergarten zu verlieren.
Ich danke meinem Partner der es nach DEM VERTIEN MAL NICHT HIN BFRKOMMT DIE SCHEISS KEEEKSE RICHTJHFIG ZU BACKEN
müsst ihr wissen

Having lots of fun playing this co-op with my friend! Was a bit slow the first few days, as we only had limited funds and recipes but as the unlocks occurred the fun factor definitely increased.

I love the complexity of the recipes - it was quite surprising!

My only wish is a) we could see the new decorations unlocked more easily and sort them more easily b) More items to decorate with (community added would be cool)!!

I want to like this game, the art style is cozy, the cooking is fun and the gambling is great lol

However starting in 2025 has one big problem: Juan.

After Juan shows up, everything breaks. Sometimes he shows up multiple days in a row to introduce himself, sometimes only with one message, sometimes with all messages, but the gourmet menu pops up at the end and locks all inputs, which only leaves alt f4 for an option.
Now he doesnt show up at all, but we are not able to invite him or unlock his stuff, so we cant progress in the gourmet ladder.

I tried to work around by editing our save file and lets put it like this. Either encrypt your savefiles so no one can edit them or make them properly readable so everyone can.

But right now we have this dumb of information in those files, which is somewhat readable but editing it ends in a inconsistent mess of unlocked stuff and locked stuff that should be unlocked?

Right now the only workaround I know is getting the savefile from someone that already did Juans Quest and play from the day after that to continue.

Please fix this game! I've played the fast food simulator which is also quite funny, but their graphics are kinda soulless, meanwhile your game looks funny and feels funny expect for gamebreaking bugs!

was a great game to play but the amount of times it does not save at all causing you to lose hrs and hrs of progress is not worth it.

Way to bugged. Hard stuck on Day 4, just a black screen during loading.

Refunded

Currently sadly way too many bugs. Save games in multiplayer get corrupted and you have to start over or try and load previous days which doesn't always work.
Small things like the second room in the restaurant is unusable as the door does not open once closed, getting players trapped inside.
While the game mechanics and the variety of dishes are cool, the current technical state of the game is preventing me from having fun with the game.

Future patches could solve this, but it has a long way to go, unfortunately.

This game was unexpectedly entertaining! Learning different tools and techniques for each recipe is extremely fun and satisfying! I think going shopping to purchase ingredients and kitchen utensils made this game more engrossing. Very fun to play with friends but also works nicely as a single player game.

Played the game last year in June, 2023, and it was great. 3 of us in total, almost zero bugs in 3 person coop all the way until the end of the game (at that point in the update cycle) having a fully upgraded and decorated restaurant and patio. Coming back to the game now on Jan 12 2025, we can't even get past day 4. People unable to join, cutting board noises that never go away until you reload, the ringing phone sound in the tutorial would not go away for everyone, bug after bug after bug. On top of that, Juan comes to our restaurant for a second day in a row, and it completely bricks our save.

I'm unsure what these devs have been doing since June outside of the update announcements I've seen, but like so many others have suggested I would highly recommend fixing these bugs, from annoying to game breaking, before you release any more major updates. Game has become unplayable, when usually it's the other way around in Early Access games. Game is buggy at release and gets better. This one started great, and apparently go far worse.

Once at least the game breaking bugs are fix I'll definitely revert my review to Recommended, but until then I would avoid this game.

great concept but the game is terrible to play very laggy/glitchy multiplayer was even worse eventually would not load so became unplayable

Great Game but still too Buggy, when I play with my friend we always get stuck at juan cause either I cant move or my friend wont Load into the Game

Update:
still unplayable, would not recommend buying until they fix the grill bug.
this game is deemed unplayable until you guys fix the grill. It worked for 1 day and broken the second day, again 4 bags of kindling within 5 min....door is now automatic so great job on that.

Cooking in this game is harder than cooking in real life, inability to muti-task seem unrealistic.
__________________________________________________________

unimpressed by this game, the game play is very choppy. Quality of life is 0. Cooking is not fun in this game, but feels like a chore lol. Tutorial is poorly made, had to start over mid way, because the game couldn't detect my completion to the tutorial quest, and it's stuck there won't let me proceed.

Grill is bugged out on day 3, lit for 3 second and keeps going out no matter how many bags of kindling I put in it. How do I play this game if I can't cook? Game play feel very boxed in and trapped. There are only a few things you can do in this game.

I played plenty of other games like fast pace competitive, flashy horror games, cozy games, etc. I never had issue with the graphic making me feel dizzy, but this game specifically....makes me very dizzy with the choppy graphics.. and I think it has a motion blur that you can not turn off? over all very disappointing. The video looked fun but reality hits hard. plays like a 3 dollar game.

Fix the grill or this game is unplayable.

Quality of life:
- Dirty plates needs to stack.
- Doors need to be automatic not having to open it every time you go in and out
- Ability to muti-task, flip the steak while chopping up tomatoes.
- Reach distance need to be further, have to crouch to pick something up from bottom shelf
- Ability to swap between spices/items and not have to keep putting things down to pick things up.
etc etc.........this game has great potential but needs a lot of work.

Not even an hour of playtime yet. Started the game, made my character and opened the restaurant. Everything went good. Until I found the bar. Went to the bank and got a 5k credit. Went all in and got 10k. Went all in again and got 20k. Tried it again with 10k and lost. And then I tried again. And lost again. I am financially responsible. 10/10 would gamble again

Spend 2 hours and still we couldnt make kebab

Why tf do I need to grind to make kebab in a kebab simulator......

I would currently not recommend the game, but wait for the game to leave EA.
The concepts are really good and the foundation is really good. The game has the best unique design ideas of any other simulator game I played and the gameplay loop of cooking food in general is really fun.

However the game is plagued with a lot of annoying bugs:

• The character models have a lot of texture clipping
  
• A lot of items are bugged, like there are some "L" shaped kitchen units that snap on the totally wrong side
  
• Items will randomly be lost in the void, even when you don't touch them or placed them propperly on some shelves
  
• In multiplayer a lot of more items will be lost due to sync issues
  
• The radio will automatically switch on again
  
• You can take some darts with you into other places and they will not go back to the bar
  
• The tutorial can not be finished in multiplayer, there will always be some players where the progress is not counted
  
[*] There is no error handling for example when you get 2 popups at the same time, which can often happen in multiplayer (fix is have someone go to home and back outside to close all popups)

Can't even complete the tutorial on multiplayer cause of bugs

grat game! but a lot of bugs to address.
also.. missing ingredients that are not listed in meals

Whether with friends or alone, it's just fun.

Worth a try. Definitely up there with simulators of restaurants.
