Amazing service great food and the hookah is delicious and high quality. Omar provides the best service in the whole restaurant!

I've been visiting this restaurant for more than 3 years, and it never disappoints! The food is always delicious, the music creates such a beautiful atmosphere, and the tea is honestly the best! I also want to give a special shoutout to Omer, who is truly the best worker there! His kindness, excellent service, and welcoming attitude make every visit even more enjoyable. He always makes you feel comfortable and well taken care of. Amazing food, great music and wonderful service. This place will always be one of my favorite spots. Highly recommend! read more

I had a great experience at Kahramana. The atmosphere is lively, with live music, indoor hookah, and plenty of TVs to watch while you relax. The drinks are made fresh, and everything we ordered was delicious. It is a little on the expensive side, with drinks costing around $15, so it's a good idea to come prepared if you plan to order food, drinks, and hookah. Overall, the food, fresh drinks, and enjoyable atmosphere made it well worth the visit. read more

Kahramana Restaurant - Restaurant - Middle Eastern Near Me - Upland, California

Had such a great experience at Kahramana! The service was amazing, the hookah was really good, and the food was even better. We ordered the chicken tikka sandwich, a burger, cordon bleu, and the pineapple mocktail served inside an actual pineapple. everything was delicious! Omar was an awesome server and gave us the best recommendations. He was super helpful and made the whole experience even better. He also told us they have live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights. The vibes were vibing. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Omar was amazing genuinely makes the experience great every single time. Food was 10/10 Not a single thing was dry or missing flavour. The grilled meat platter was great especially the chicken read more

We were issued a gift card at an event when we tried to pay with the gift card they said it was expired when we tried to speak with the owner, he became irate and put his hands on my husband. I have never seen anyone behave in this manner, especially with customers. Needless to say, we called law enforcement and we're issued a case number. I had been to this place many times and did not have an issue. Obviously the owner had a bad day. read more

This place is total 5 stars. Clean and all the food we ordered are so yummy. Even rice and potatoes wedge are yummy.will be back again to try everything else.Omar the server is also very nice and courteous. Definitely recommend this place. read more

This was my first time here, and overall I really enjoyed it. I was actually just looking for a hookah place. The place is huge, the food and tea were really good and honestly the hookah service was one of the best I've had. They check on it regularly and really take care of you. The only thing that bothered me was the seating. There were plenty of empty tables but we were told some were reserved and were given a different table. After sitting there for a couple of hours, those "reserved" tables were still empty. It kind of feels like regular customers or people they know get priority. That might be a little frustrating for someone coming for the first time. Other than that, I had a great time and really enjoyed the place. read more

Just perfect service and amusement. What a beautiful place. First time İ came to here and İ love it. Foods, hookah and everything. Workers Manager Omer thank u read more

I have been here twice and have enjoyed their food. The first time was for a graduation party and had the family feast. Their beef kabob is the best however, the chicken in my opinion is OK. Their appetizer are really good as well. The second time we went was for an event the restaurant had hosted. I think beef kabob was better but I felt it was very expensive for what they had offered. It was barely any food and they charged $65 per person plus additional tips and other things. I may or may not consider attending events because it costed $100 per person when it was supposed to be $65. Considering less food this time and more costly. Service is always good and ambience. read more

Great food, really enjoyed it. Also shout out the amazing service from Omar, recommending Kahramana to all my family and friends!!

Food was fresh and delicious. Service was excellent! The entire staff was very attentive, especially our waiter Omar. We tried the eggplant dip, mama soup with chicken tekka and rice. This was our first time and we will most definitely be coming back to try the rest of the food and also the hookah! read more

Kahramana Restaurant - Small Iraqi Tea pot and eggplant dip. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Upland, California

So, this is my first trip to this Persian banquet/event restaurant and it's amazing to be inside this hall of cultural accomplishments...I just wish all the dishes were up to the decoration levels. I heard their falafels were the best so we had to try those...and they looked beautiful...but, unfortunately, they were rather under-seasoned and the yellow/orange dipping sauce to me was completely inedible. Luckily, the chicken shawarma with the hummus was lots better and served with terrific tasty freshly-made pita in a beautiful basket. The chicken was rather dry (maybe that's just the style) but very-well seasoned and great hummus that did itself proud. I wasn't impressed that they tack on a $5 plastic bottle of Crystal Geyser table-side water to every bill. I also wasn't impressed that the DJ was pumping very loud music into the hall prior to dancing...I mean, why do I need to shout across the table during dinner? Service was fine and was happy we were able to flag down another server to get an alternative dipping sauce to enhance the falafels (a rather thick tahini). The chicken shawarma was large enough to split and I highly recommend that delicious dish. In the local falafel competition, especially compared to Le Chef's, looks like Kahramana needs to up its game. read more

I was there with my family last night. Everything seemed fine towards the end of the night. I saw the owner of the restaurant fighting with a customer and actually striking him. I told my wife let's go. We did not want to be caught in the middle of some fight where it may be dangerous. Unfortunately, I will never return there. I don't want my family to be put in danger so sad. read more

Amazing food and service! We had a friend visiting from out of the area and decided to come here for a late lunch. We arrived just after opening and had the place to ourselves. Service by Omer was perfect and the food was even better! The Spicy Hummus was my fav along with the Falafel and Boorak. This was the best Falafel we have ever had. I had the Chicken Tikka sandwich and the others had Chicken Sharwarma and Beef Kababs. Everything had superb flavorings and we all loved everything. Large portions gave us lunch for the next day. Will definitely be our "go to" Mediterranean restaurant. read more

We didn't even get to try the food. We arrived around 8:15 p.m. and were told all the nice tables were reserved, or maybe we just didn't look like we met the VIP standard. We asked if we could move and were told no, so we simply left. If empty tables are more important than paying customers, that's certainly one way to run a restaurant. Not the first impression we were hoping for. read more

We order lamb chap and chicken tandoori the lamp chaps arrive in 10min but we wait for one hour to get chicken tandoori and the server was not good they at least they should tell to the customer to how long it take if they don't have ready let the customer know but the food was delicious and good and the place is very clean read more

I like the new chef and reduced prices Service and hookah are great 1-The new grilled chicken is so good and moist 2- finally their koftah is not red inside 3- tabouleh and salads were good My problem with this place it was over priced now I noticed their prices more reasonable Overall recommend this place read more

What a cool place. Our party shared several appetizers & mixed grills. Everything was delicious. We sat on the patio & really enjoyed the vibe. Service was friendly. read more

Last time I ordered the butter fish سمك زبيدي I can't talk enough about the taste. No spices at all, only pinch of salt exactly the way fish should be cooked. The smell and the taste were amazing. This restaurant had the best Iraqi food. Every time we go we are amazed. read more

The ambiance was decent the restaurant was clean, and music was playing. The food was average for the price. The meat was slightly overcooked, the rice was served warm. Prices felt a bit high for the overall quality. When we asked for a cup of water, we were given bottled water and charged for it without being informed beforehand. Service was underwhelming. After placing our order, no one checked on our table, and I had to flag down servers who were walking by, despite the restaurant not being busy. Based on our experience and other reviews, poor service seems to be a recurring issue. Unfortunately, it appears the restaurant does not take customer feedback seriously or make efforts to address these concerns. This was my first time and last time I come to this restaurant. read more

2 stars for Lisa the waitress that made the night be a little bit better after multiple issues. Pros: large space and plenty of parking spaces. They sing happy birthday and will bring candles with your cake. $35 fee but it's worth provided while the singer sings happy birthday. The sign says your name and happy birthday. Important items that need to be addressed my the owner and managemen Cons: The service needs to be looked at and organized. They only had two waitresses on a Saturday and t they took 45 min to take our order. When we arrived we stood in the lobby waiting for 20 min before the waitress approached us to ask if we had a reservation. We were dissatisfied and over heard another party saying they were extremely unorganized and that they had brought a cake and needed it placed in the fridge. Also the waitresses kept running through the restaurant. It shows they feel overwhelmed and actually unprofessional and unsafe. After they finally took our order the waitress didn't have the order tablet so she took our order in her phone. When the food came out it was all incorrect. We kept getting other people orders and that took another 30 min to figured out. We wanted a glass of wine and they denied us ordered per order. They only wanted to sale a bottle for $75 for wine. It was not worth it since we didn't all care for the wine. They also have arrowhead large water bottles on tables and no extra water is provided or refills. The water was just warm and no ice is provided. Unless you pay for a bucket of ice. Very unusual and not really ideal. We felt like the poor two waitress were trying their best. However between the wait for just an order and food we arrived at 8 and ate dinner at 10 pm. All in all the food was good. However the lack of operations and organization at this establishment is very poor and needs immediate improvement. I have a feeling that this may be a reflection of why is was not that busy for a Friday night. Just wanted to warn others and ensure you all make note before visiting this location. read more

We visited this restaurant today for Easter as a family, and overall we had a good experience. The food was delicious, everything tasted fresh, and the place was clean and well kept. We truly enjoyed our meal. At the beginning, we were a bit disappointed with the owner. When we called to make a reservation, he didn't inform us about the set menu--even when we asked--which made things confusing when we arrived. It didn't feel very welcoming at first, and we almost decided to leave. However, we chose to stay and not let that ruin our Easter, and we're glad we did. Our waiter, Alla, completely changed our experience. He was kind, respectful, and very attentive. He made us feel comfortable and took great care of us throughout the meal. And the party was very fun the singer the guy who played the dj was very sweet Because of him, our visit turned into a positive one. He truly stood out and made our day better. Thank you, Alaa علاء for your excellent service! read more

Been here for the first time with friends. Food was ok, one thing i liked was the spicy hummus and pita. Ambience was ok. Few things i want to mention, on saturdays they have a cover charge of $15 or a minimum charge of $55 per person. We were told about it after getting seated. Waitress was very rude. Not a good service no one checked on us or asked if we need anything the entire time. Had to ask multiple waiters to bring us check and the waitress who hosted us was not responsive. We asked for a reciept but she never gave us one and made a disgust feeling face for asking. Overall bad experience and never going here no don't recommend. read more

This is my 3rd time went with a family group of 4 to a watch FIFA soccer game and have dinner walked in said to be seated anywhere and no server showed up for the whole game time over 2 hours just one person asking if we wanted hookah not even ask if we need drinks or water not even taking an order from us completely ignored the whole time. Tried to bring any of the servers attention but no luck at all in front of us 2 large parties started yelling asking for the manager having same issue not being served at all after 2 hours and when the game was over a host came in to collect a payment of $35 per person at table. He worst experience ever bad management and crew ever disappointing with the misleading information and ignorance of management read more

This place is amazing! I love it. The service can be spotty if busy but they are friendly. The food is some of the best I've had. The pita is home made. I'd skip the extra rice. The pita is huge. Such a special place. read more

If I could give this place a ZERO star I would. Very unorganised the food was decent other than that expect slow/bad service. You have about 6 servers walking around doing the bare minimum. The lady server is very rude not even sure who our server was because no one really helped just the intro. They didn't come and check up on us if we needed drinks or just anything. I will not return to this establishment. I can't imagine this place on a busy night with this type of service. There was probably 4 tables in total and you still receive awful service. read more

Positively amazing! The portions are definitely intended to be eaten family style. The combination of fresh, high quality ingredients and perfectly spiced food in the beautiful, clean environment makes this a place you should definitely check out! The severs were kind, attentive and helpful! read more

Went on a tripple date last weekend and the food and service was great. We didn't partake in Hookah, but we did order a lot of delicious, shareable food. Our group was a mix of meat eaters and vegetarians, and everyone had plenty to choose from. Will be coming back again very soon! read more

I love coming to this restaurant. The food is delicious here. You can't go wrong in their wide selection of middle eastern food. I tend to get the hummus just because they give you this huge piece of bread to eat with the hummus. I normally sit in the semi outdoor patio as you can indulge in some hookah. The best time to come to this place is on Tuesday through Thursday where the standard hookah is half price. read more

This is my first time experiencing Kahramana! Came here with my two friends for an Iftar dinner -- and I'm so pleased to say, that it was such an amazing experience all around (food and the service)! The food was so delicious! Every dish complement it's self very well! Our waiter was Omar (Turkish) -- he was extremely nice/funny! He definitely made our experience even more pleasant by his attentiveness and quick service! Happy that my friends suggested this spot & brought me here! I'm definitely going to be returning & bring my parents and siblings here to try it! read more

Save your money and don't come here unless your Arabic then they'll treat you with respect I came here with my wife for dinner we ordered everything was going well until I noticed that everyone around us was getting food and service and we were left waiting they would bring one item at a time then wait 30 mins for bread or rice it was ridiculous on top of everything the owner was just sitting at a table with friends drinking and smoking not giving a shit that his customers are not getting served FUCK this place read more
