What a delicious hidden gem in Canoga Park. Was craving Persian food but did not want to drive out to Northridge to my other favorite Persian place so did a yelp search and Kababe Grill came up. Did not know what to expect because it's located in a building that only has a kitchen facility. I walked in, went to the kitchen door and was greeted by Fred. sweet, caring man that just wants to make delicious food served with a wonderful smile. Since my son was coming over, I ordered two koobedieh combos (beef and chicken ) and a falafel plate. OMG, so good, so much flavor and huge portions. The rice is perfectly seasoned and fluffy, the skewers were juicy and tasty. The falafel, the best I've ever had! So yelp community, I would be so grateful if you support this small family run business. You will not be disappointed. They also cater, score!! read more

Scrolling through Yelp in Canoga Park thinking, "I want Mediterranean... specifically Persian/Iranian?" Look no further. This spot is takeout only, hidden in what basically feels like a restaurant warehouse, and as you walk down to pick up your food you genuinely start wondering, "Where the hell am I?" Then the aroma hits and suddenly you're floating like a cartoon character following the smell trail. I got the beef koobideh and WOW! Perfectly seasoned, insanely flavorful, fluffy rice, and the shirazi salad absolutely slapped. All this for $15 in 2026 when gas is $6.30. And the service? So kind. The person I called taking my order was sweet, everyone at pickup was welcoming, and I swear someone's grandma was in the kitchen because the food tasted like a warm hug. I don't usually write reviews unless the food is genuinely special, and I definitely don't gatekeep good food. So if you're craving Persian food, place the order now. read more

I'm from the Bay Area, but I was in Canoga Park a couple months ago and found this place. It's a hole-in-the-wall that only offers take-out, but I'm glad I got food here rather than drive all the way to Raffi's in Glendale! The chicken koobideh was flavorful and juicy. In fact, it was the juiciest koobideh I've ever had. The price was very reasonable at only around $15 (a steal for LA!). What I appreciated the most is the kind service. I could tell there was a lot of positive energy there. I'll be back whenever I'm in the area. In the meantime, I'm wishing them all the best and much success. Shukriya and merci! read more

The Kababe Grill is an excellent choice for good Persian Kabobs. They are still here at The Kitchen complex on Owensmouth. You can only get stuff to go (like the other outlets here) and like at their original location on Devonshire, they live up to their reputation. It is all halal meat and they make their kabobs moist and juicy. My favorite is the beef koobideh and I always get it with their grilled onions, tomato and jalapeno. Like all the small places here, they operate from only a room or two, proving that you do not need a big place to prepare and present succulent and delicious ethnic food. This time, the kebab could have been better if it had more spices. Anyway maybe the next visit. The service here is always top notch, warm, welcoming and friendly. read more

I don't know how I have lived in the valley my entire life and just recently tried kababe but I'm so grateful I did. This is the best Persian restaurant I have been to in a long time. The meat is absolutely delicious and tender, the vegetables are fresh and full flavor, everything down to the garlic sauce screams excellence. Service is quick and the staff is extremely friendly . I could not recommend this place more. read more

We called ahead to place our order for a party of 5, and Fred was absolutely wonderful! He was friendly, patient, and super helpful in helping us figure out what to order. We went with the family package, and it was a lot of delicious food! It included 2 beef koobideh, 2 chicken koobideh, 1 chicken breast, grilled vegetables, rice, salad, hummus, bread and sauces. Everything came together as a great variety for the whole family to enjoy. The meat was flavorful and grilled nicely, and having all the sides and extras included made it a really convenient option for a group. Overall, we had a great experience with Kababe Grill and would definitely order from them again. Great food, generous portions, and excellent customer service! read more

I usually don't write reviews right away unless I have an exceptionally good or bad experience, and unfortunately, this place fell into the latter category. I ordered the Soltani, which was priced fairly for what it is, but the quality was far below expectations. The meat was poor quality, and the rice was honestly gross. When I arrived to pick up my order, it took about 10 minutes for the staff to even notice I was there, which was very frustrating. I had read some good reviews and thought this place would be decent, but it was way below what I anticipated, actually, it was just terrible. I definitely won't be giving this place another chance. I know good Persian kebabs, and this wasn't it. Very disappointed. read more

One of the tenderest and juiciest koobideh beef and chicken skewers I've ever had. I ordered a plate with one chicken skewer and one beef skewer of koobideh. The plate comes with nicely cooked basmati rice, a pepper, a grilled tomato and some grilled onions. The meat, I must say, was just WOW! With the first bite, that juicy, marinated chicken and beef ground meat did the trick. Perfectly spiced and so tender, it falls apart in your mouth and you just can't wait for your next bite! Definitely a must try for any koobideh fan. The service was friendly and the place has a cool Mediterranean vibe about it with some ancient-esque wall art and with some fun Armenian music playing (Shazammed it for accuracy). Will def come back for more! read more

My date and I were craving Persian food, so she recommended we stop in to try one of her favorite restaurants in the area, Kababe Grill. Located next to the LA Fitness in a nondescript strip mall in Northridge, you'll instantly notice the wonderfully welcoming and family owned business upon entry. Colorful walls, lighting surround tables and booths for guests to enjoy whether dining in, or grabbing to go. We were greeted by a friendly woman who asked where we would like to sit, and we chose one of the side booths. The place was empty when we arrived on a Wednesday night around 6:30pm (they close at 8pm). We decided to go with a few appetizers: The Beans and the Shirazi Salad. Both were served fresh and packed with flavor. The Beans were a first for me and were deliciously layered with seasoning. The Shirazi Salad was quite tasty, beautifully diced tomato, onion, cucumber mixed in olive oil, & lemon juice. An excellent pallet cleanse for the main event, which in our case was the Chicken Koobideh and Ghormeh Sabzi. Looking over the whole menu, there are a ton of options and the prices are very reasonable, with most appetizers under $10 and entrees around $20. The plates were very generous in portion size. The Chicken Koobideh came with two skewers of excellently grilled chicken in traditional onion and peppered seasoning. The chicken was presented on a bed of saffron rice, served with onion, tomato, jalapeño, and zucchini. I was able to snag a piece of the chicken and let me tell you, it melts in your mouth. It was absolutely amazing - I have had Koobideh before, but this was next level. The Ghormeh Sabzi was served in a medium bowl, accompanied by a large portion of saffron rice and onion. This version of traditional Iranian stew was quite delicious, and had a lot of flavor, however, I thought it needed a little bit more lime to help it stand out a tad more. Both entrees came with lots of lavash bread and butter. The restrooms were clean and well-stocked. Plenty of parking in the strip mall as well, especially during peak dinner times. I am a fan of Kababe Grill, not only for the amazing chef-inspired cuisine, but also as a small, family-owned business that takes pride in what they serve their community. Go check them out! read more

Delicious food and excellent customer service from beginning to end. We had our child's birthday lunch here with 23 people on a Saturday. As always their kabobs are grilled, flavorful and both beef and chicken are tender not overcooked. The basmati rice is so good. Thank you to Georgie for taking care of us. We can't wait to come back and eat here again. read more

To start, you need to try their beef Koob which is 2 skewers of beef koobideh. Served with rice, onion, tomato, onion, jalapeno, zucchini, bread, butter, lemon, & garlic sauce. The flavors are on point and truly delicious. Their H/H koob is another great option as it is 1 skewer beef/chicken Served with rice, onion, tomato, onion, jalapeno, zucchini, bread, butter, lemon, & garlic sauce. The flavors equally jump start those tastebuds into another level. The options are plenty and you will not be disappointed. The staff is super helpful and will answer any of your questions. read more

Quality food taste really good in decent prices. The owner is very nice and I would definitely recommend to try it.

This restaurant was so good when it first opened but I was disappointed the past few times. Prices have gone up, portion sizes have gotten smaller. The meat taste and quality is good but the rice was cold and raw on our last take out order. The lavash bread provided on the side was so small it was comical. read more

The food was delicious and sizable for the price. It is only a to-go place and it's a little intimidating to go to at first but definitely worth it! We got the chicken and beef koobideh and they were soo good. read more

Friendly service and the food was very delicious, this is a hole in wall spot and it's only to go but trust me you get your moneys worth here and more. I am not from this area. I live almost 70 miles away, but I would definitely come out here again, just to have their kebabs. read more

This is a nice restaurant here in the valley. Not crowded at all which makes you wonder, but the food was good. Nice size helpings for sure! Took awhile to get our food but maybe that's because they prepare it that way, because there was no one else in the establishment when we were there. Service is just ok. Not very attentive but again maybe they are allowing you to enjoy your food? I had to go ask for a to-go box and ask how to pay. Ambiance was nice. Music in the background playing. $$ 1/2 read more

Needed a post workout protein meal. And since this place is right next door to the gym, a good koobideh was in order. Was trying to go a bit low carb on it so opted for a wrap. Food: 2-stars. Unfortunately, the wrap was pretty small for the price. Typically, even if I'm hungry and already took a couple bites, then I'd take a photo of the meal. But basically two bites ate most of the half cut wrap. That's how small the portion was. The flavors were okay. Just couldn't rate it as average since it didn't satisfy what I needed it to for the price point. Service: 4-stars. It was made to order. Quick enough. Straightforward order and pickup process. Ambiance: 3-stars. Decently lit restaurant without it being too bright. Looks like they'd be able to accommodate larger parties. read more

Food is amazing. Staff are friendly. We came a few days ago with the kids and will be coming back soon. This is a gem!

Been wanting to try this place forever seeing all the ads on Instagram and finally had a chance last weekend. To start off with, we were happy that the place now offers halal meat always a win! The owner here is super nice and friendly. While waiting for the food he brought our daughter 2 apple juices which was super sweet. Came and asked us how the food was after we received it and also gave us a $5 off for the visit. Definitely a great guy! As far as the food. We got an order of the mixed koobideh and 2 orders of the barg w/ koobideh. The koobideh was amazing! Super soft and juicy just as the claims in the ads. I loved it! The barg on the other hand, mine was a bit tough but my husbands was soft. The rice is a bit different than your normal Persian restaurants, but I didn't mind it much. I think due to the portion sizes compared to bigger Persian restaurants the prices were competitive and could have been a little less. Despite it all, I loved the customer service and definitely recommend going out to support this business! read more

Food is okay. Service owner worse. First dined in last year, meat was good but shirazi salad a joke. Small portions with giant onion pieces no taste. Just ordered take out. Spent almost $100 which I don't mind spending more if quality is good. Received a Greek Salad with GOAT cheese and THOUSAND ISLAND dressing. No other dressing on top of greens. Rice portion soooo little covered by the meat, but as you can see in my photos when removing the veggies, no rice under. When contacted the restaurant to let them know of my concerns was told by Fred, the owner... "we've been in business for five years and no complaints". I guess if you're looking for mediocre food, go here but if you want real Middles Eastern/Persian food.. do not go there. Stick to the other local places which have great customer service and take good comments and criticism to better their restaurant. read more

I think I found a Go-To!!! I was just running errands up at REI and realized I was hungry...I happened upon this place because it just a few doors down. And OMG, I'm so glad I did! Honestly, I was just expecting a quick carry-out experience, but it almost felt like a full dining experience. The lady at the counter was so nice and brought everything out to my table outside--yes, there's a good amount of outdoor seating. I never had to ask for anything. She brought everything I needed. And it all came out within a few minutes. To top it off the food was excellent--such good flavor in everything! I had the Beef Koobideh and Salad Shirazi, which turned out to be too much food for me in one sitting--yay for leftovers!! But it all tasted great. The beef was very tender and came with a proportionate amount of rice and grilled vegetables. I also ordered falafel take-out, so I look forward to trying that later! There's both indoor and outdoor seating. There's no issue with parking because it's in a shopping center. With great service and tasty food, I'm definitely coming back to try more menu items. read more
