I ordered a lunch special that was supposed to be $12 and it ended up being a total of $17... so false prices are advertised. I had to wait 25 minutes for my to go order and when I had enough and finally went up to check on my food, it was sitting right behind the cashier all along. So I waited for nothing and they waisted my time while traveling in Chicago. Not going back read more

Delicious Persian food. I loved the tomato lentil soup made even better with mint. The babaghanouj was fresh. Our kabobs were terrific with saffron rice and grilled veggies. We loved the open windows on a nice night and the ceiling fans. Bathroom doors are also 2/3 solid and 1/3 open, is ventilation a concern in Iranian culture? All the moving air felt great and the vibe in the restaurant was warm and welcoming which was just so nice to be in the mix of it all. read more

One of the best Persian restaurants in the city. I've ordered from them several times and gone in person. Whether to go or in person, the portions are generous. The food is wonderful. Everything from the kabobs to hummus and cucumber salad is exceptional. The owner was there and checked in on us, which I appreciated. The staff is professional and polite. Note: you must order at the front after being seated. I did not know this and was sitting for 20 minutes before a friendly staff member told me. I didn't mind at all and it was worth it. read more

I happen to like the food. Seems that all middle eastern restaurants are open in chicago. I guess this would explain my weekly sampling of different turkish coffees lol. Anyways...I went with the lamb loin and asked them to sub the rice for salad which they did do...I feel like the lamb should be seasoned better at a Persian place. The owner I think owns the other place across the street noon a kabob and I recall having lamb that was nice and juicy. My friend asked for bbq sauce for his chicken skewers but were told they dont have any. Our waitress was helpful and told me my baklava would be on the house. She also included something else in the dessert but I was not sure what it was only that it was crispy and had a honey flavor.. It was not clear of the tea would be sweet or not when I asked ...you know kind of like beduin style. I asked random people and they said they liked the tea but you can only make it sweet if you add sugar...ok I have my answer read more

If you want amazing food, come here. Service was impeccable. Owner was walking around making sure everyone was set and happy. Ambiance was relaxing. I am speechless. Try this place and let the food speak for itself!! If you ever had Kabob in your life, no you haven't come to Kabobi read more

From start to finish the food and service was excellent. The staff and the owner were very friendly and welcoming. You can taste the food was fresh, the quality of the meat and fish was excellent. The price and the portions are very generous. If you're in the area and can't decide on what to get, you've got to come and try this. read more

While I've eaten my way through a lot of Chicago restaurants, I've reviewed very few. This is because I'm a part-time grinch and because I don't feel compelled to leave a review unless I've had either an exceptionally good or bad experience. It makes me very happy to say that dining at Kabobi has been an exceptionally good experience. Not once but at least three times (maybe four). If you haven't been here yet, get a group of family & friends together and go. The Family Platters here are simply amazing and I promise you'll have a memorable meal (unless you are even more grinchy than I). read more

Food was amazing service was amazing and prices are so good lovely inviernen hardly recommend for any gath

The first time I went there, I got the lamb shank and the rice with dates and stuff. The lamb shank had no flavor and came in a bland tomato soup. The second time I ordered delivery. It took over an hour to receive and literally everything tasted like salt. The falafel - salt. Tabouli which is made of almost entirely fresh parsley - all I could taste was salt. Chicken kabob -salt. All of it was so salty, it was literally inedible I've learned my lesson and am never going back. Take my advice and never try it in the first place. read more

The food is great and the atmosphere is very lively. When you walk in, you can either sit down and look at the menu or order right away at the counter. Either way, you will have to order at the counter. A waiter will not come and take your order at the table. However, the wait staff will bring you napkins, utensils, and drinks. They are very friendly. All of their servings are massive and are meant to be shared. My fiancé and I love their saffron butter chicken with dill rice and their lamb platters. Any meat you get is cooked wonderfully and the meat is so soft. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Best Persian food in town! If you're looking for a fun night out with family or to celebrate an event this is the place to go. The food is always good and the service is on point. Pro tip try the pistachio saffron ice cream read more

Yum! Went with a friend who was feeling Mediterranean food, so through other referrals we decided to go here! The entrance is cute when you walk in and you can either be seated or order at the front. We decided to order at the front and were seated after. The dining room is this huge room to the side and it was pretty busy! I decided to get the mixed grill with boneless chicken and beef kabob. I decided on the regular rice. For some reason I couldn't wrap my mind around getting rice with fruit in it, but they had plenty of options! Took about 15 minutes to get our food, and it was a lot! It's served on top of bread with the meat on one side and the huge serving of rice on the other. The rice was delicious and fluffy. Had a very nice flavor, and you could definetely taste the butter. The chicken was deliciously seasoned and moist! It was my favorite of the meal. The ground beef had a decent flavor as well. Was still good, but not as good as the chicken. I'd def go back! read more

The best kababs I've ever had. They were cooked to perfection and super juicy and soft 10/10. We got the balabaloo rice (rice with caramalized onions and sour cherry) and it was also really good. Service and ambiance was average but I'm definitely going back. I recommend the chicken koobideh, beef koobideh, lamb and filet mignon for kababs and their balabaloo rice read more

Absolutely delicious food and very attentive servers! Came as a party of 4, all of our dishes came very quickly. The portions here are HUGE. Will definitely be coming back read more

We came all the way from Michigan and Kabobi was so worth it! The food was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The koobideh was juicy, the rice perfectly fluffy, and the portions generous. Warm hospitality and great vibes made it feel like home. Highly recommend! read more

The place is always the best. If I could only eat from one restaurant in Chicago this would be it. The food is always well seasoned and well cooked and the price is reasonable and the portions huge. read more

Its such a authentic great Irani restaurant with highest quality Kebobs. Totally recommended!

We did a take out here on our way back from the zoo! We order ahead....the lunch combo #5 (ground beef and ground chicken skewer) and lunch #1(all beef)! It came with a cucumber salad and the dill rice. After I arrived at the restaurant, my order was all ready and I just pay and I was out of there! Easy! The meat was kinda dry but I did like the dill rice! The pita was good and it comes with one for each lunch order. Service was great! read more

Food is AMAZING! Delivery service is beyond awful. I was furious at the delivery person - especially after adding a good tip to my order. He would not bring my food up to my apartment, because he said that there was no where to park. I told him to leave the food with the door person. Yet after I put on shoes, got the elevator and walked down the hallway between buildings- when I get there he is still in the lobby!!. I said to him, and I'll say to you - if he was still in my lobby in the time I took me to come to the lobby, then he had time and he should have earned his tip by bringing my food upstairs to my apartment! (I'm aware that he works for the restaurant, not GrubHub. I order from here quite a bit because I love the food. But this type of bad service can kill my desire to keep ordering from them. It was very disappointing last night!! read more

If you come to CHICAGO you have to go to Kabobi, the Dil rice with a melting beef kababs, make an amazing combination, and on top of that you have the butter that's given to you, which can end your cravings. With family or friends Kabobi is amazing. It's service is super fast, and food is super delicious. Prices are suitable for all, from working college students, to families looking to have an amazing dinner. Sn. Don't forget to get the red sauceeee read more

Delicious! Excellent service and ample portions. You'll take home enough for another meal. Try the kebab combo.

The food was fabulous. Every kabob we tried was nice, succulent and tender with just the right amount of spices (not overbearing). The owner was very cordial and attentive and was consistently seen directing the servers to make our dinner more special. We liked the culinary experience so delightful that we are planning to engage Kabobi for our daughter's wedding event. read more

It's a great Persian-Mediterranean restaurant. The food is delicious and full of authentic flavors. The manager is a really nice person. I couldn't be more satisfied. Also, there is some parking available nearby, so parking is not much of a concern. read more

Best butter chicken ever? Um, yes! But that's just the start of things here. All the grilled meats are insane - in a great way. Fresh, flavorful and always cooked to order. And if you like rice, you're in luck. Because every dish here is served with approximately 9 pounds of it. Lunch specials are definitely the way to go. But maybe not for the reasons you'd immediately imagine. It's not about price or portion. It's about presentation and variety. Lunch specials are served with an amazing sampler of hummus, Persian salad, grilled tomato, pita bread and your choice of rice. Now, the same entree at dinner? Only comes with the rice. So, you're not getting all those delicious little extras that add up to a really well rounded out meal. Dine-in, because you're going to want use that entire bottle of housemade hot sauce. And spring for the side of garlic sauce - it pair's beautifully with the hot sauce and goes good on everything they serve. read more

Always delicious! The dinner servings are huge and easily feed two people. Lots of vegetarian options and meat options. The dinning room is really big and usually it is easy to get a table. read more

Delicious food! Try something new because all their dishes are good. The lunch special prices are very reasonable.

I definitely recommend this to any one who is in awe of Persian foods specifically all types of kebabs. Specifically all people from Lorestan, Iran, who are kebab experts, you'll love this restaurant . The admission and welcoming was fantastic. Food quality was amazing. I recommend Sultani (medium cooked), its super delicious. The owner and the service staff are very friendly and lovely. I am from Kuhdasht Iran, where kebab is the number one favourite food among people. I can say that the kebab here was authentic and super delicious. read more

Excellent food in very good portions. Servers are very respectful and friendly. Highly recommended.

I love seeing places like this. No frills type of food serving a cuisine that hasn't been watered down or altered for the American palate. The menu is huge, just like their portions. We ordered the lamb biryani, beef filet mignon shish kabob and dolmas, and had 2 meals worth of leftovers the next day. The beef was flavorful, while the lamb was so tender. The rice was fluffy and the hummus was creamy and delicious. I can even rave about their grilled onions and tomatoes! This is for sure a staple in our catalog of restaurants whenever we don't feel like cooking :p read more

The service was incredible and really quick for lunch on a Friday. The portions were very large! I will say that the meal overall was slightly too dry for kabab... though the taste was fantastic. I believe I had gotten kafta/ground beef. I will definitely eat here again because the meat was of really great quality. read more
