Great patio and the food was good along with the hookah. Ordered the beef kebab and khaskh et bademjoun. Kebab was cooked well and juicy. The khashk was lacking in flavor for me tho. Service was outstanding as well read more

Absolutely delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The chicken was incredibly tender and cooked perfectly. I had the quinoa salad with the lemon dressing instead of the balsamic, and it was the perfect combination--light, fresh, and full of flavor. Service was great. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Casual atmosphere indoor seating in a small balcony for outdoor seating. read more

Went to Westwood to see my Persian best friend he loves hookah. I am not a big fan of hookah lounges. My days of inhaling smoke in my lungs are over. My request was a healthy restaurant. If you order right the food is delicious and healthy well besides the smoke. I would've given them a complete five stars but my biggest pet peeve is commercials. I don't want to hear your Spotify commercials at your restaurant. Ambience is everything it's just a couple more dollars for a straight vibe.. read more

We went here after freedom rally for Iran? It was my second time going there. The place needs some Cleaning. Better management prices were steep. The portions were good and our server was awesome. read more

Ordered through ubereats, since they have a bogo promotion on a couple of their items. I got the chicken kabob and the dolma. It arrived at my door well packaged and warm. The dolma was nice, little bites of rice wrapped in grape leaves that give you a bit of savory, a bit of sour, and bit of freshness. I don't think I'd get it normally at the price point listed on the ubereats app (about $11), but it's not bad. The chicken kabob plate came with some salad, cucumber, a nice bed of rice, and a tomato, as well as a slice of lemon. The chicken was perfectly cooked, plump and juicy, though it could've been a bit more flavorful. The bit of salad was also surprisingly nice with the house dressing. The lemon added a nice bit of contrast to everything. Overall, a bit pricey, but not bad. read more

Got the lamb koobideh plate and the meat was so so delicious and flavorful. Comes with a half salad that does not skimp either. Fresh spring greens, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and beets!! With a yummy dill yogurt sauce I also used to dip the meat. Big portions I ended up splitting for two meals. PARKING/ metered only read more

This place had a nice vibe, decor, and outside eating area. They serve big portions and have a great value during lunch time. Their lunch offers half portions which are still large. The food was fresh and prepared well. Absolutely loved their hummus it's a must have. Service was wonderful staff and helpful, accommodating, and friendly. I would have given this restaurant 5 stars but the flavors were missing from the food I would have liked more seasoning everything was bland in my opinion. They don't offer enough sauces I would love to see more variety. read more

Have been coming here since 2012 (14 years ) and it is still one of my favorite places to go too! The service is amazing, the food is great and the vibes are always the best! read more

The back patio is just delightful and has umbrellas to provide shade from the sun. The food was well prepared came out hot and was delicious. I had the chicken kebab with a delicious garden salad and a wonderful salad dressing and the steak fries. Really enjoyed my meal and can't wait to come back. read more

One of my favorite Persian places on Westwood! Their chicken kabobs are incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the beef kabobs are equally delicious. It's hands down one of the best places for Persian food. Plus, the service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Started ordering to go here a few days ago and I am hooked! Every time I call in for request like extra dressing / fish on side etc. they're super kind and follow it Food is fresh and tasty They aren't stringy with their portions it's a nice amount to get full on. Things they need to improve on- I just wish they would be a bit more generous with the feta cheese on the Greek salad... I feel like it's definitely needs more White dressing has sugar- it's way too sweet and very odd. I'm very confused why they add sugar The Greek dressing is too acidic - very strong. Feels a bit when not proportional. Over all very happy. I hope they'll take my feedback into consideration. Itl rly make things better read more

Ordered online for my husband via Uber Eats. The food was nicely presented but what irritated me was the dessert I ordered. In the picture it was a square cute in half, two triangles. I only received one triangle so HALF. It was placed right in the center of a huge plastic container: it wasn't the delivery driver because it's so wet that it would have been an imprint from the other. It was only the one I lifted. Not cool for almost 8 DOLLARS! Then I ordered a regular bottle of coke like the picture advertised. I got a can FOR 5 DOLLARS. I don't like that. I DO NOT TRUST THEM SO I WILL NEVER ORDER AGAIN read more

One of our favorite late night spots. The lamb shank is huge and cooked to perfection, and the kebabs are always delicious. Their barley soup is a must order!! The side of sumac puts it over the top. While I do wish the rice was more flavorful, it gets the job done. I've never tried hookah here but have dined in, plus we get takeout at least every other week. It's always poppin' inside though! No matter what day or time. read more

Naab Cafe is a casual Mediterranean restaurant where you can find classics such as koobideh. They have a more barren inside but pretty nice outdoor area with some wall moss and plenty of seating. Note it is blasting some house music outside. Koobideh has decent cool and flavor, and nicely salted. Rice and salad were fine but the charred tomato was a welcomed add. Staff was very nice read more

I ordered this on a whim as most places were closed. There was a generous 2 for 1 offer as well. I ordered the kabob plate which showed veggies. There were no veggies. The chicken was ok. Not amazing but the best part of the meal. But the rice had no flavor and was undercooked. Sort of tasted like water. Humus bland and grainy. Salad dressing was oddly sweet with a lot of dill. The store-bought pita was unusually thin. I ordered something they called house dough that never came. But there was a weird milk like beverage with no scent that came with my order. I hate to give a bad review but the restaurant should know how bad it was. read more

Last week, I called to ask if the hookah lounge was open, and the person on the phone told me it was. I was so happy to hear that because it had been closed for such a long time. Today, I came excited to enjoy a hookah, but it was closed. The waitress was cold and didn't explain anything. It's really disappointing -- this used to be my favorite place, especially during COVID. But now, it feels unwelcoming and unfriendly. Sadly, I won't be coming back read more

Huge portions on the chicken kabob (rice, salad) with an equally huge price. First and last bite of chicken lovely, tender, and flavorful. Some might think the breast is too dry, but this is as good as it gets for white meat. read more

The Cornish chicken is the best. My friend got a koobideh sandwich with fries and it was really good. The environment is very cozy and friendly. If your looking for a good kabob sandwich, give this place a try read more

I took advantage of a discount to try this Persian spot. The beef koobideh was very moist and tasty. The plate also came with salad and rice, which was pretty good, salad could be a little fresher. Service was a bit awkward. It's counter service so I tipped ahead pretty well and the guy was nice enough but he kept forgetting to bring me water and utensils. There was only one person working upfront and he disappeared in the back for long periods of time so maybe they are short staffed. read more

So good! Large portions. Street metered parking and side street parking. One of the best and moist ones I've had. Would recommend. Sometimes they have deals on door dash. Has about 5 tables. Service was quick read more

Best chicken kabob I have ever had! Servers are nice and extremely fast. Love this place!

This is a great place - good food - and they make their own Sangack bread here, which you can buy extra to go.

Great ambiance in the back where you can smoke hookah and eat. Many were also seen working on their laptops as well. The food is decent for a fast food Mediterranean. I have only tried their lamb shank. Will return for the kebabs. Friendly staff provided great service. read more

Very mid. Had some bogo offers on a food app. Chicken was dry and flavorless, tomato was barely heated and cooked (no char) and rice was oddly bland. Texture fine, but it's like they forgot to season it. Salad dressing yummy, and made chicken more palatable. Fine for discounted price if you're a starving, broke UCLA student. Otherwise, look elsewhere. Plenty of better options on Westwood Blvd. read more

Love this place! Great food and great presentation. Their hummus is so yummy and they actually decorated for XMAS which I love!

Very good hummus. Lots of fresh fruits they would juice right in front of you. Very healthy and tastes fresh but no wait time! Good and very casual green lunch spot. I do wish they gave options for salad dressing because I ordered a vegan meal but if came with yogurt dressing for salad and they didn't tell me that. read more

I had to go for the Lamb Kobediah. I usually do not see it on the menu whenever we come to a Persian restaurant to eat. They made my day. We both got the lamb plate and enjoyed the taste. Outstanding tender well cooked lamb with vegetables and all. Rice is delicious, and the service is good. Would love to come back here again. read more

I've literally have heard about this place for years and never bothered to go until last weekend. We came in on a Friday night around 10 and were seated right away in the outdoor patio section. They close at 12. Hookah 3/5 The first flavor of hookah we ordered was "porteghal khame" which I was expecting to be citrusy but sweet? It was neither and almost tasted burnt. The gentleman working there, Amir Reza, agreed to make us another one with no hesitation which was really nice! We asked for blueberry mint instead since it's a safer option and that one tasted/smelled amazing! However, it took over an hour to really hit compared to the first hookah which was strong since the minute we got it. I'm not sure what they did differently the second time around but the hookah just didn't hit. Ambiance 5/5 I really enjoyed the outdoor seating section. It was small and cozy with almost every table filled! Price 5/5 I'd say $28 for a hookah in Westwood is fairly reasonable since most places charge $30+ now. Service 5/5 This was the highlight of our night! Amir Reza was so attentive and kind. He shared that he's had a long day and has been up since 7 am but still had great energy and was still checking on every table. He changed our hookah head with no hesitation, brought us games to play and a heater(upon request), and was just friendly overall! Overall 5/5 I'd definitely go back here again! read more

We drove from Northridge to get some good Persian food on Saturday night. We ordered kobideh and chicken kabab. The first bite on kobideh kabab was so salty and very dry, we asked the owner and he said if I bring a new one it will be the same, very disappointed we did not eat kobideh, when they bring the bill they charged us fully and extra for tips, we object and he said you have to pay and if you did not like the food you should have said before. We had told them what they responded, they offered $5.00 back. They even charged us for can of coke that we did not open. We retuned $5.00 discount , it was insulting and paid 140.00$ and left. We went to a eat another place and we will not go back to Naab cafe ever. Bad food, bad service insulting customer service. read more

10/10 customer service 10/10 hookah 10/10 food and ambience You cant go wrong with Naab Cafe. This part of Westwood is called Persian Square so you'd find persian restaurants dime a dozen here but Naab stands out due to their food/hookah cafe vibe and seemed really popular with the locals as it got crowded pretty quick. They have a sort of a covered veranda in the back where some tables had clear glass dividers per covid-fashion and others were socially distanced. The service was quick, friendly and super attentive. Even being so popular, they seem to pay attention to all the customers and we loved our server. The hookah ws a special mix he recommended and it was great and smooth. Our food arrived promptly and was plentiful (had leftovers for lunch the next day). Definetly coming here whenever back in town! read more
