    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!

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

    A friend has been recommending Naab - so glad I went!!! Fantastic food, quality, presentation, quantity, price, service...!!! Wow!!!

    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.

    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.

    Middle Eastern restaurant in downtown LA. I didn't realize this was the sister restaurant of…read moreBestia. Overall, I enjoyed every dish we got. I would consider reordering everything we got. Definitely on our list of restaurants to visit again when we're in the area. Ordered: - Hummus Duck 'Nduja - First off, we need to take a moment for the blistered pita. That stuff was soooooo yummy might be my favorite pita I ever consumed. Hummus was also good, nice balance of flavors that complimented each other well. - Grilled Octopus - Had a good amount of chew and wasn't too chewy. Dill flavor was a bit on the strong side but I don't mind it. - Potato Flatbread - Very light and also good. - Slow Roast Lamb Neck Shawarma - Soooo tender fell off the bone so nicely. My favorite dishes were the lamb neck shawarma and the blistered pita. Family style restaurant. We were recommended to order 2 spreads, 3 appetizers, and 1 entree for 3 people. We ended up doing 1 spread, 2 appetizers, and 1 entree and I'm very happy with our decision. We were soooo full after our meal. I think if we did the 2 spread and 3 appetizers as recommend we wouldn't be able to eat the entree at all. Seems like a really popular celebration restaurant (saw many graduations). We did make a reservation and I would recommend doing that. All tables were filled when we were there, not sure how the walk in situation is. Music is a bit loud inside the restaurant but I don't think it was as bad as Bestia. The outside patio was good though in my opinion. I didn't feel like i was yelling across the table to talk on the patio.

    The food is still stellar - updating to state that the new-to-me-menu items (peach salad, smoked…read moretrout, chicken tagine and whole lamb rack) are all superb. The tagine in particular was a pleasant surprise; I almost never order chicken, I can cook it plenty fine at home. However: this dish was a revelation (the olives transform during the braise - so creamy/delicious). The only nit to pick: Bavel please change up the playlist; I enjoy Bad Bunny as much as the next person, but the same 4 songs were on repeat all night long.

Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
