The food is always so fresh, flavorful, and delicious! You get so much food for the price! The falafel is life changing, the salmon is perfectly tender and cooked, and the saffron ice cream is divine! Jelena, my server, was so friendly and attentive, and she made my dine-in experience really wonderful. She's fantastic! The ambiance inside is also so special and the two sided formal dining area/casual dining area makes for a perfect date night, friend hang out, or quick lunch vibe! read more

I have always loved the food here. It is very good. Be it the casual dining or fine dining options. Recently, we had book a party at another restaurant down Kedzie for 25 people. The owner of that place, we so unwelcoming and rude, we just couldn't stay there. Our guests were just starting to arrive. So, I had to find another place like ASAP. Where to go? Who to call? And Noon O Kabab was the first place that popped into my mind... duh. I called and explained our predicament. They said, "No problem, give us 30 minutes." Done! We went there. The table was set. The service was wonderful, and the food was so very good. An evening that started off horribly ended up being a most memorable and enjoyable evening for all 25 of us. This is true customer service Noon O Kabab style! Thank you so much! خیلی ممنون (with the help of google translate) read more

Feeling good & hopeful about the Bears vs Packers game so had to order from my favorite Persian restaurant @noonokabab to kick up the heat and excitement! Superb chicken and lamb kebabs, lamb shank, dill rice (oh yes!), fresh hummus, pita bread, and cucumber salad. So what if this is just for two? Can never go wrong with this kind of tasty leftovers. And we were rewarded with a miraculous @chicagobears wild card win!! GOOO BEARS!! read more

Every dishe we ordered was fresh and tasty. The squab was juicy and well seasoned. The dips were super flavorful and went perfect with the veggie sticks and pita. Portions are MASSIVE. I don't know how anyone can finish their entree here. Folks all seem to leave fully satisfied and with leftoversI can see why this place is often busy and is a local favorite. Service is attentive and kind. There was a mess up with our drink order but it was quickly rectified without any defensiveness or fuss from either side. On-site parking is limited but there's plenty of paid metered street parking. read more

I have been coming to noon for over 10 years now. It continues to be one of the best Persian restaurants in the Chicago area with amazing tahdig and koubideh. Recently I tried the fesenjoon which was disappointing and kabab barg was underwhelming overall. Service has continued to improve over the years and they take good care of their patrons. Ambiance is great for large groups and to have a fun meal with family. Highly recommended for some great Koubideh and one of the few places in city to offer Tahdig (can be better). Don't forgot to try the saffron ice cream if your A1c is below 6 :) read more

I had a lovely dine-in experience! Jelena, our server, was excellent and attentive. She seemed to come by right as we needed her without us having to ask. Noon O is always delicious, but dining in their beautiful full service dining room is always a delight. The decor is very elegant and I like the acoustics in the circular room. You cannot go wrong with this menu, but the salmon skewer was delicious. I love both the ground beef and the filet. Please do not miss the falafel or skip dessert! The saffron ice cream is so elegant and delicious. Not too sweet! read more

The best Persian food I've had. The steak and chicken kabobs along with the dill rice are amazing and always cooked to perfection! I love ordering the hummus and babaganoush as appetizers as well Service is friendly. Ive personally never ate in the restaurant, I just order ahead a pick up. read more

The food is delicious. I recommend the ribeye kebab and the chicken kebab. The meats are cooked very well. The ribeye and chicken we ordered were well-seasoned and juicy! I also recommend the hummus and the persian fries. The portion sizes are very generous, especially the rice. We had plenty of leftovers. The service is good. And the ambiance is elevated. I really liked all of the artwork and draping inside. This would be somewhere you can come for a special occasion, date night, or just whenever you're craving it! read more

Noon O Kabab - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Some friends recommended this restaurant. The food was beyond delicious and service was great. I ordered the salmon kabob with a mixture of white rice and dill rice. The sides were excellent. I can't wait to return. You have to be at least of party of two to sit in the main dining room. I sat in the take out area which is huge and nice. They bring your food to the table. Great price. My intention was to save some of the food, but I had to eat it all. it was the best tasting salmon ever. read more

Noon O Kabab - Salmon kabob with white rice and dill rice. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Had an amazing visit with my family. We ordered a family platter with some extra lamb and shrimp kababs. It was served with white and dill rice, humus, pita, vegetables, and the works. The service was well above par. Our server was very friendly and welcoming. She provided exceptional guidance to aid in ensuring everyone (party of 8) was able to get a protein of choice. This restaurant has two sides. One side has a more elevated ambiance for those looking into a more formal/romantic evening. The other side is more casual. Regardless of the side picked formal attire was not required. The food here I found was not only delicious but was definitely authentic. The humus hands down some of the best I've had. All the food was amazing and I definitely recommend anyone to give them a try. read more

Delicious Persian cuisine with extra large portions. You will have a lot of leftovers. The Koubideh was so juicy and tasty. It can get busy, so get comfy, order lots, and stay a while; enjoy the ambiance. You have a choice of sitting on a quick dining side or a more traditional restaurant, I suggest the restaurant side! read more

Dined here for a post-workshop dinner. There were plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, and I appreciated that they were marked specifically in the menu. This made it more convenient for me to find items I could eat. The shirinpolo and fesanjun were delicious and flavourful. The bread was very fresh. Service was excellent, and the server did a great job of explaining what the dishes were going to be like when I was placing my order. The portion sizes are enormous, and I was happy to take the leftovers home in a doggy-bag, which lasted me two whole meals the following day. The ambience is lovely, with gorgeous murals on the walls. The restroom was also clean. This restaurant is a solid option for people who have never tried Persian food before. read more

Very disappointing experience. We visited with our children and friends expecting a pleasant, family-friendly meal, but the customer service was terrible. The manager was rude, dismissive, and openly disrespectful, especially towards women being verbally abusive. It was embarrassing and upsetting to witness that kind of behavior in front of our kids and guests. No one should be made to feel uncomfortable while simply trying to enjoy a meal. A manager should lead with professionalism and respect, but that was completely lacking here. We will not be returning ! Ever again ! read more

very nice place for family dinner. Persian cuisine is amazing. Service is the best! No doubt, will be visit them more

I always go into the restaurant with my family and the meals were generally good. Today we ordered two meals and hummus to be delivered. When we got it, it had no rice and when we called to question where our rice was and we were told it does not come with rice..... It was not a stipulated on the menu when we were placing the order. Our total was over $80 and basically we got four skewers of beef and lamb. I was totally disappointed and I don't know if I will return to the restaurant. They put the food in a huge aluminum tray with a piece of pita under the skewers..... when we eat in the restaurant. It always comes with rice so I don't know how they can sell a meal or call it a meal with what we received.....SHAME ON YOU NOON O KABOB. You lost a good customer.!!!! read more

Overall was a good experience! Apparently my family raves about this place so I thought I'd give it a shot! The portions are huge! The food took longer than expected apparently... I like how there's two different seating areas as well. I did wish the steak was more flavorful. read more

I will say I don't usually give five stars but I've eaten here so many times both dine in and take out. I will say each time the food is consistent. My four year old loves it and asks for noon o kabab regularly. The chicken koobisdeh is so good and portion sizes are wonderful for a family. read more

The place was slow but it was a Monday. I was visiting a friend (Dr Amish Shah chiropractor) and there are plenty of middle eastern restaurants in the NOVA DC area where I live but Noon O Kabab has to be one of the best I've ever had. The decor is almost banquet hall like making the place feel less intimate but once we ordered. The bread, sauce, veggie amouse bouche was tart, refreshing, umami and fresh (from what I could tell). Once we ordered the presentation of food was not only grand but tasting it, I've never had ground lamb, ground chicken, grilled lamb and beef kebab that tender and flavorful. It didn't taste Persian, Afghani possibly, definitely not Uyghur but it doesn't matter because it was delicious. From what my friend told me this area has many kebab restaurants but he recommended Noon O kabab and I'm happier for it. read more

I've been eating Noon O Kabab for over 20 years now. The food is not the issue of this post. Today my wife placed an order from Noon O Kabab's website. The order was through the site, so it was not delivered via DoorDash or any other third party delivery site. After roughly an hour, my wife received a phone call from an agitated delivery driver attempting to communicate with her. He spoke only Spanish, absolutely no English. Neither my wife nor I speak Spanish. We guessed that the reason for his call was he was outside with our food. But when we looked outside he was not there. Over the course of the next half-hour, we received further calls from him, and attempted to call the restaurant to report there was a problem. The woman who answered the phone said, "Oh that sounds like Juan." We could not determine if he was lost or what the problem was. Finally, Noon O Kabab's delivery driver showed up. He left his car running with the driver side door open in the middle of the street. I went out on the porch and asked him what had happened, which was pointless as he couldn't speak English and I can't speak Spanish. So I took the food from him, took the receipt, told him to get off our porch. During all this he pushed my arm, I guess thinking he'd been treated rudely. He refused to leave. He remained on the porch, knocking on the door and ringing our doorbell, demanding a further discussion. Keep in mind we'd already paid for the food, and even tipped, via credit card, so he was not waiting to be paid. We opened the door and resumed the overall conversation, which, again, was pointless given the complete language barrier. But basically, he was trying to claim that I hit him. This is completely ridiculous; I'm not a physically combative person and wouldn't attempt to hit a stranger. And, again, he did make contact with me. I told him, again, to leave. He would not. He started calling Noon O Kabab, for what I'm not sure, as I did the same thing. But then he decided to leave, hastily, and as he did I followed him to his car to get a picture of his license plate. As I did so I saw a woman in his backseat and a small child not in any kind of car seat and not wearing a seatbelt. My following made him panic and he jumped in his car and sped away, running a stop sign. I'm including a picture of the driver. His car was a blue Honda Civic, license plate EC 64087. I called Noon O Kabab and reported all this to them and they seemed to take the matter very seriously. But I'm posting this here to let people know it's not safe to order from Noon O Kabab anymore. They might send someone like this, who speaks no English, can't find your house, becomes very combative when confronted in any way, and even endangers the people in his car and anyone on the street when he's driving. read more

I was disappointed with my recent visit. The kabob tasted awful and the quality was very low. The environment is beautiful, but the food and price aren't worth it even $1. I do not recommend this place. read more

It was my first time taking out from the restaurant. The portions were big! I had 2 skewers of ground sirloin and sirloin prime. The ground sirloin tasted a bit off to me. The other sirloin was very good. The rice was good. The side salads were good. A spinach salad was good. In general I thought the beef lacked a great taste. read more

I have eaten Persian food up and down the West Coast and East Coast, from LA's legendary Rafi's Place to Shamshiri and every must-try spot in Washington, D.C. So when I was in Chicago, I had to find out if this city could hang with the best. Enter Noon O Kabab--and let me tell you, this place is not just good, it's legit. If you think Persian food is just another spin on Mediterranean cuisine, think again. Persian food is next-level: it's bold, it's refined, and it's packed with layers of flavor that are nothing like what you get with Greek or Lebanese dishes. And Noon O Kabab? This spot delivers the goods. First off, the koobideh. I've had koobideh all over--beef and lamb kabobs so good they make you rethink life--but Noon O Kabab might just have the best. This koobideh is juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned with just enough char to make you forget every average kabob you've ever eaten. I'm calling it now: this is the koobideh you compare all others to. Then there's the tahdig with Ghormeh Sabzi--a must-order. Tahdig, for the uninitiated, is crispy saffron rice, and when topped with Ghormeh Sabzi, a slow-cooked herb stew with tender meat and a tangy kick, it becomes a textural and flavor bomb. This is Persian comfort food at its peak. Forget mac and cheese--this is the dish that hits your soul. I also had the Kashk Bademjan, a smoky, eggplant-based appetizer with whey and fried onions. It's solid--rich and flavorful--but I've had better. That said, it's still a great starter if you're new to Persian food, and it gives you a sense of the balance of earthy and savory flavors that Persian cuisine nails so well. But here's the thing: Persian food isn't just about kabobs and rice. It's about dining as an experience--flavors that pull from thousands of years of history and hospitality that makes you feel like royalty. Noon O Kabab embodies that vibe. From the gorgeously designed dining space to the staff that treats you like family, it's a place where you're not just eating--you're getting a taste of a culture. If you're in Chicago and you haven't tried Persian food, this is where you start. Noon O Kabab doesn't just hold its own against the greats--it's bringing the Persian food game to Chicago in a way that will blow your mind. Trust me, you need this in your life. Go for the koobideh, stay for the tahdig, and leave knowing you've discovered something special. read more

It's time for another glowing review! My dad loves the lamb shank, my mom loves the koobideh but that's old news-- this is about the service. After an 11th hour cancellation of our order by Reza's , I turned in desperation to Noon O Kabob. We called them directly and ordered. I had thought that they were too far for my parents to be in range for delivery, but it wasn't an issue. I had a complete meltdown trying to locate the credit card and then (I have low vision) I couldn't even find the phone! It all worked out. Patient and compassionate-- Noon O Kabob saved Noruz for my parents. read more

Went there 2 more times - both to the "nicer" side. (bleep)ing incredible food. Apologies for coarse language, but Noon O Kabab has cemented itself as my 1st or 2nd favorite restaurant in the city. I straight up can't wait to go back. Everything we had was spectacular. Service is good, ambiance is nice, we walked in on Saturday at 5 and were seated immediately. They don't take reservations (except for big parties). Prices are reasonable. I always get the fesenjan - it's one of my favorite dishes, few places serve it, and they do it justice. Fesenjan is not the prettiest dish (which is part of why I like it, it's a sleeper), but the flavor is very unusual and brilliant. read more

The gold standard in delicious authentic Persian food. It's been a while since I've sat in their beautiful dining room but I order the koubideh combo from here at least once a month. They never disappoint! The service here is always very pleasant and consistent. My orders are always ready quickly and on time. The food is always warm when I get home and the taste is always consistent and amazing. Definitely recommend and if you are ever entertaining Persian people from out of town their jaws will drop once they try this food. Highly recommend read more

Noon O Kabab - Koubideh Combo - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Saved this gem for Father's Day but I also ordered via Door Dash the week prior for science! But in all seriousness, EAT HERE & be sure to wear your eating pants. The meats are cooked to perfection, the rice is heavenly & there are so many options to choose from. Veggie, seafood, & meats from chicken/beef/lamb. There is something for everyone. Portions are generous & you won't leave hungry. You might leave with leftovers. I promise the food reheats well! So far, I've tried the Ground Beef Koubideh, Soltani, & Lamb Combo. All delicious & outstanding. There's a fine dining side & another side for take out & casual seating. Parking lot is small & I recommend coming early as it gets busy shortly after opening. I'll definitely be back as the menu's extensive & service was stellar. I've enjoyed both meals & fine dining today was wonderful for a special occasion! read more

Hands-down, the best Mediterranean food I've had in my lifetime. What a great experience in a beautiful space. The restaurant was extremely busy so my husband and I sat at the bar. I have to say I will never eat anywhere else in that restaurant we had such a great experience! The staff, the quality of food was hands-down, the best. I will definitely make this go to when I'm in the mood for something different and extraordinary. Victoria waited on us and made some excellent recommendations for the appetizers which we loved. She was kind and patient with all her recommendations which were excellent. What a great place in the city of Chicago I just wish I would've found it sooner. We will definitely put this on our rotation high on our list. Give it a try, especially if you've never had Persian food. read more

I don't have much to add that hasn't been said elsewhere. Extensive menu, tasty food, huge portions (= value for money), pleasant service, nice ambiance and easy parking. I had a combination kebab platter with chicken and lamb, subbing salad for rice, and would gladly get the same again, though the serving size was so substantial that I'll probably just order a single skewer next time (with a slight preference for the chicken over the lamb). That said, there are a few other dishes I'd also like to try. Either way, I'm making it a point to return the next time I'm in the Chicago area... read more

Overall Thoughts: This is a popular Persian restaurant in Albany Park that was crowded even at 3pm on Sunday. You order at the counter and the food comes out quickly. The food was for the most part delicious with large portions, though some elements were a bit lacking in flavor. The prices were reasonable for the portions (~$25 pp for my group of 3). My favorite dish was the joujeh koubideh (chicken breast ground, seasoned, and charbroiled) and if I'm ever back, I'll have to get more dishes with that, as well as try more of the bastani flavors. Food I tried: - Kash-Kebademjan (4.4/5): This was tasty! The smokey, roasted eggplant flavors were robust, and paired with the copious amounts of quality olive oil, was very savory. I wish the pita that came with it were warmed up / toasted though. - Lamb Shank Plate (4.1/5): The lamb shank was very tender and fell off the bone, but overall the stew itself was missing some flavor. The rice could've also been more flavorful. I liked the crispy texture of this pita, but it wasn't very conducive to eating it with the rice/lamb. - Shrimp and Joujeh Koubideh Plate (4.7/5): Favorite item we ordered all because of the joujeh koubideh, which was SO good... literally some of the tastiest, juiciest chicken I've ever had. Highly recommend any dish containing the joujeh koubideh. Same critique around the rice and pita. - Saffron Bastani (4.4/5): A staple Persian dessert, I was glad to have tried this. The texture is similar to gelato and the flavor had strong floral notes. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.4/5 Food: 4.4/5 Ambience: 4.5/5 Service: N/A Overall Value: 4.5/5 read more

Couldn't even take a picture I scarfed this food DOWN! I was hesitant about the delivery prices at first but the portions are HUGE and so worth it! I've never had Persian food before and I'm blown away ! The red sauce, garlic and tahini mixed together created some insane flavors! & The lamb was so tender which was shocking for delivery! Wow wow ! This would be great for catering for an office or event truthfully! This is high quality down home food!! I can't wait to go into the actual restaurant! I haven't been impressed by a delivery like this in a while ! read more

Ordered for delivery. Everything arrived in perfect condition and was very delicious. Highlights were beef koobideh, shallot yogurt, and eggplant dip with crispy onions. Marinated olives were a little too sweet and masked the olive flavor. Highly recommend! read more
