    I placed an order yesterday around 5:30 pm and went to pick it up. The guy who I spoke with on the phone was very nice and helpful. I normally like to eat right then and there, however, since I was in Encino and closeby, I decided to get my food to-go. I ordered their combo plate which came with Beef Koobideh (long ground beef), falafel, and chicken kabob. On the sides I got Salad Shirazi, and hummus. Also, they give you plenty of rice that you can eat for a whole week. Since I didn't dine there, while I was waiting for the food to come out, Ichecked out their restaurant and it had a good vibe to it. It was chill, clean, and mellow. There were a few people inside, but it was not that crowded. As I was leaving, more people were coming in. Generous portions, fair prices. I will definitely drop by this place to have a sit down lunch/ dinner. Last but not least, our food exceeded our expectations!! Sooooo good & fresh.:-) Few parking spaces in the front and few other ones all the way in the back of the alley!

    I've worked just a block away from this restaurant for years and, surprisingly, had never tried it--despite how long they've been around and how busy they always seem. I finally decided to stop in, and I'm so glad I did! Their chicken kabob is absolutely delicious--juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The service is just as impressive, especially from Alex and Jocelyn. They are both friendly, attentive, and can handle multiple tasks effortlessly while still making you feel taken care of. Ever since that first visit, I haven't been able to stop going back. I've tried both the chicken kabob plate and just the skewers on their own to take home for dinner--both are consistently excellent. If you're looking for amazing chicken kabob, this is the place. You won't be disappointed.

    Love naab . Healthy, light, fresh. Chicken kebob!! Only downfall is the parking lot.

    Came here for lunch on a weekday - no wait! Service was fast, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the koobideh with beef and brown rice (one skewer). The portion size was very generous, definitely more than I could finish in one sitting! Personally, the brown rice was a bit harder than what I'm used to at other places. Not sure if it was a bit undercooked or something else. I like getting brown rice to be healthier, but would probably stick to the white rice next time. There are a few parking spots out front, but there's more available in the back. Just a heads-up if you want to go into the back - getting in and out can be a little tight since you have to go through a small alleyway.

    The service at Naab truly deserves six stars: it was far beyond what we expected. You place your order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table, but the hospitality felt like full table service. From the young man who took our order, to the coworker who brought our food (along with complimentary water without us even asking....so thoughtful!), to the team working behind the grill, everyone was warm, welcoming and attentive. They made eye contact, greeted us sincerly and even thanked us as we left. Their kindness made our lunch even more enjoyable and we genuinely appreciated the experience. The food quality matches the price point, and the portions are generous. Each lunch plate came with saffron colored rice, salad, hummus and the entree of our choice. We ordered the beef koobideh, chicken and shish kabob. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. While the meats themselves are average in quality, the seasoning and spices elevate the dishes and bring out great flavor. We also ordered a plate of fries which was served hot and well seasoned. A great lunch spot as service is quick!

    Nice clean flavor on the beef and a nice mild taste on the lamb. Pretty moist and the rice is great. Not much to say here

    Hummus up close and personal

    Im basing this on order to go and not eating there. That said, when the tiny pickles are the leader of the dolmas somethings wrong. 1. The order says it comes with pita bread. Mine was invisible. 2. Itd hsrd to mess up dolmas. They achieved a gold star. Besides being hard, they tasted as though they had been in the fridge or freezer beforehand. They were ice cold. I have no problem with cold dolmas but not ones where it is so obvious these were not made for several hours or the night before. I should add it never says on the to go menu that they are cold to begin with. I recommend saying ice cold. My McDonald's soda was warmer. 2. The Flaffel. I ordered this as well. It comes with hummus, whose flavor profile was a sweet taste of bland with a hint of paprika. Wait, wrong place, because this was missing it too. On the plus side, it was cooler than my frozen dolmas which I plan to use for a new version of popsicles next year. Get your frozen popsicle sticks - dolmas flavor! The flaffles themselves were pretty good. Spicy though. Never had spicy ones. The outside was crisped nicely, and they were warm, a major plus. And the inside was soft. These were very edible. But if you dislike spicy heat level, you will be left eating the tiny pickles. The order came with some weird green sauce which I demurred from tasting. Maybe it was whipped dolmas dressing. Hey another great food idea, they can include. Both items came with greens under them, which didnt make sense.

    Chicken Kabob Plate
    Em B.

    naab mediterranean has delicious food, great portions. Eliseo served my friend and I; we ordered a chicken kabob plate and a vegetable kabob plate. my friend ordered the cucumber juice, i ordered beet juice with ginger, which at first they said they were out of ginger, then they had the ginger but no beet juice. not a big deal at all, but ideally the cashier should know what they have available that day. they did give my friend the extra cucumber juice made instead of throwing it out which was thoughtful. the chicken was delicious and large chunks, large chunks of vegetables, and fresh delicious hummus. the veggies could use some seasoning, they were unseasoned and the chicken could have slightly more seasoning. overall everything was good.

Turmeric Braised Chicken - The dish was a bit on the basic end, not a lot of seasoning but you could taste the tumeric. Chicken was tender but slightly on the drier side which was a bit surprising considering it was dark meat (6.5/10) Kofteh Tabrizi - The tomato taste was prominent in the broth but the meatball itself was overly salty. The flavor was one note, I can't see myself ordering this again as I've heard this dish should have more complex flavors so I was disappointed (5.5/10) Kotlet Plate - As you can see from my picture, the kotlet was burnt beyond repair and I could taste the bitterness from the overused oil they used to fry it. I did like the yogurt spread and the pickles that came with it but I did not like the kotlet at all. We didn't bother asking them to replace it (4/10) Mirza Ghasemi w/ Barbari bread - The star of this whole experience was the Mirza Ghasemi, the roasted eggplant and tomato spread came cold and it was the most delicious thing we had. One of my friends vacuumed it right up before the rest of us could have seconds. Bread was a bit dry but it was a great vehicle for the Mirza (8.5/10) Lamb Gheimeh - Lamb was tender and it had some nice spices infused in there but it didn't wow me in any way (7/10) Sholezard - Our waitress brought over some complimentary Ceylon tea with the Sholezard which was kind. This rice dessert was not too sweet. The warmth and saffron ended our meal in a comforting way. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again (7/10) +1 star for the service

I finally had the chance to stop in for a solo early dinner, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. I ordered the Lule Kabob Combo ($22), which included skewers of minced beef and chicken, rice, veggies, pita, hummus, and a side salad. The highlights of the meal were definitely the salad and the grilled tomato; the pomegranate seeds in the rice were also a nice touch. However, the meats weren't to my taste--the chicken had an odd aftertaste, and while the beef was better, neither really worked for me. Adding the provided sumac and lemon helped, but I wouldn't order the kebabs again. Additionally, the hummus lacked creaminess, and the pita tasted like it was mass-produced rather than fresh. On the positive side, the portion sizes are very generous for the price point, and I left feeling full. I also have to mention that the patio is adorable and very "Instagrammable," so it's a great spot if you're looking for a photo-friendly environment. A quick note for future visitors: they are currently having issues with their card reader and are requesting cash or Zelle. It felt a little unusual to be rung up on a register only to pay via Zelle, but it wasn't a major deal. While I appreciated the atmosphere and value, the food itself just wasn't for me, so I likely won't be returning.

That's why I was excited to bring my girlfriend and her friend here today. Unfortunately, this experience was completely different. Our waiter, Amir, barely checked on our table. His greeting and every interaction with us felt monotone, rushed, and completely lacking any warmth. There wasn't a single smile or welcoming gesture throughout the meal. At one point, I walked to the restroom and, on my way back, saw the same waiter enthusiastically speaking Farsi and providing attentive, friendly service to several other tables. The contrast between how those tables were treated and how we were treated was impossible to ignore. Based on my experiences here, it certainly felt like customers who are Persian or speak Farsi receive a much warmer level of service than those who don't. The food is still good, but service is a big part of the dining experience. I left disappointed, especially after recommending this place to others. Unless you speak Farsi or are Persian expect mediocre to poor service. This shoutout is for you Amir! Hopefully management reads this review.
