My husband and I were having a craving for Mediterranean food. We have passed this restaurant on Ventura on a daily basis for the 8 years. We decided yo give them a try to order for delivery. I called the restaurant to ask a couple of questions. Jocilen was very helpful. I decided to order through DoorDash. Everything arrived packaged nicely and very warm ready. And on top of that, was fresh and delicious! We both ordered the chicken kabob plates. We are now new customers at Naab Mediterranean! read more

Naab Mediterranean - Chicken Kabob Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been to a few different Naab Cafe locations, and I had to share my experience with this one. The food is still decent, but it's not consistent at all. The fries are completely different from the Westwood location, and this spot doesn't offer the bone in chicken that Westwood has. Even the taste of the ground beef and the chicken shish kebab is very different from what I've had at better locations. We also went to the location near The Grove in Los Angeles, and that was different too. Honestly, it feels like they don't care about this location because nothing matches. If this is supposed to be a franchise, everything on the menu should be consistent, but it's not. At this point, it feels like a completely different restaurant. The biggest issue, though, is the temperature. Every time I walk in, it feels like a freezer. It's extremely uncomfortable to sit and eat, especially when it's already cold outside. I keep hoping it'll be different, but it never is. this one really needs to fix the AC and be more consistent. Heads up if you're going to any location expecting the same exact taste or texture of the chicken kebab, ground beef, sandwich bread, fries, or sides, it's not going to be the same. Everything is noticeably different, both in taste and texture, and even the menu items themselves are not consistent across locations. read more

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! read more

Naab Mediterranean - Steak Filet plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Naab Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

They have a small parking area in the front The inside is large and has about 14-15 tables Service is great and the staff was really nice Now on to the food. I ordered the falafel plate and a chicken shawarma wrap. The falafels were crispy and tasted decent. The chicken wrap was delicious. Perfectly seasoned chicken and massive portion size. They basically gave 2 wraps for only $16 Probably one of the better shawarmas iv had in the LA area read more

The service is terrible just terrible, it's starts with the manager not being around in a Sunday to see what's happening! If you have an open establishment there must be manager available on duty to assist. My first time ordering from here, the experience was so terrible I wouldn't go back. Service 0 stars, I placed an order for a cambo plate and Siri salad, I'm not sure what the young man on the phone heard (he said his name is Lenin) at the time of pick up my husband walked out with 3 plates when I just ordered A CAMBO PLATE. When I went back inside to speak to him to clarify the incorrect issue, he was speaking over me, he stare that's what I ordered and I was given a hard time and extremely rude attitude from Jocelin the other employee. Clearly he didn't give me the total while I was in the phone otherwise I would have questioned why it's $70 for A CAMBO PLATE AND SUDE SALD SHIRAZI. He's a kid, not trained well, has no listening skills or perfectionism; Jocelin just as bad and she's likely a key holder or supervisor but also lacks customer service and has a VERY DISRESPECTFUL ATTITUDE. After 5-7 min of back and forth I was given my refund in the plates I didn't order, when it could have been taken care of before all the back and forth and the waisted time. I'm all about ordering from non chain places so small businesses can be supported, but never agin from here. A note for tue manager and owner, train your staff to listen and ALWAYS GIVE THE TOTAL when it's placed or would abound a lot of the hassle. read more

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. read more

Diego was Amazing excellent servise as always. He actually listens when you place an order. He definitely needs a raise.

The absolute best mediterranean food. Always consistent, always superb service. I love everything about Naab.

Jocelyn the cashier is a very friendly and humble girl. Every time I go to eat there she is always so helpful and very nice. She treats customers with respect. Also the food is amazing. And the cooks do an amazing job as well. read more

The food is good but it is over priced. The best thing to get is the chicken shawarma wrap. Additionally if you get the entree they will place an excessive amount of rice and at that point you are just paying for rice. read more

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.

I picked up some food from here and it was very good quality. The person that took my order on the phone was very helpful. The food was ready in about 15 minutes. I got the chicken kebab with rice and both were delicious. Their other dishes looked good as well. They have a small parking on the side of the restaurant. read more

The grilled chicken was perfect. Such a grill master works here. My salad hit all the right marks- the leaves were fresh and crisp, the fixings fit the genre. The dressing (which he put on the side- how classy)- awesome, authentic. I tried the lentil soup, and absolutely loved their take on that- the flavors really come through on their own with the appropriate vegetables, and it wasn't overly salted. It's not greasy either. It's just right. The hummus- I was thinking- how good will it be? Some of the best hummus I've had in LA. I would place this Mediterranean spot in my top 3 in the valley, after tonight. It's casual inside, but nice. Nothing tacky, nothing fancy. It's ambient at night, not bright, not dark. Great choice and our first time tonight - it was 9:15pm and we were hungry - and the places we already knew had closed way too early. These guys stay open til 10 which is reasonable for everyone! My Yelp partner tried the falafel plate and he really dug in and enjoyed it. Especially good food!!! read more

Whoever is in that kitchen deserves to be paid well. That was easily the best Mediterranean dish I've had in a long time. The food was excellent. You've officially become my new favorite restaurant, and the combo kabob is worth every penny. read more

A simple no frills eatery with a very Mediterranean menu closer to Persian cuisine. The chicken kabob was fantastic and I don't like chicken!!! Their plates are served with hummus, salad and rice. The beef was good and the Koobideh (minced) beef was tasty except they over cooked it. The pita bread was fresh and the Falafel was very good as well. The price is very reasonable and they have a water container if you don't want a bottled beverage. Definitely a place to go back to. read more

Great food at good price. I love their chicken Kabob with Hummus. Chicken was fresh with Basmati rice and salad. I highly recommend then. read more

The food is so fresh. They have several vegan options. The falafels are not greasy. They're not dry. The hummus is nice and creamy. The dip for the falafel is even vegan. The gentlemen in the front explained the difference of the two salads. The atmosphere is nice clean. Bathrooms are clean. The price is not bad. It's not overcharging for the amount of food you get very satisfied with.Naan Mediterranean. Bring one to Santa Clarita and Victorville. read more

Great place. A nice location to hang out and enjoy great Persian food and hooka. Highly recommend.

I had the veggie combo. The eggplant was my favorite. In addition I had freshly pressed carrot juice. That really hit the spot. The lentil soup was boring. My husband throughly enjoyed his salmon meal with fluffy rice. And salad. I could tell he liked it because he wasn't talking. Just digging in. I appreciated there was a parking spot out front! The chairs are very uncomfortable wooden and hard. I definitely see this is a carry out restaurant. The quality is good and the value decent. The portions are good as well. I recommend this place. It was hubby's birthday and he chose well. read more

Since Naab is across the street from my office building, I thought to give it a try. Good move. Naab has plenty of seating and well-lit nice ambiance. Service was very good. They have a diversified menu of plates, salads, wraps and side. I had the lamb gyro wrap with a side of salad. The sandwich was very tasty and the portion was excellent. Had enough for lunch the next day. Love Mediterranean food and this place is a find. read more

Best Mediterranean food! Super fresh, good portion, super tasty! Simply delicious! 100% recommended

This place has solid Mediterranean Food. I got the Shish Kabob and Chicken Kabob Combo Plate with Rice and Salad. I also got the Hummus with Pita Bread. Both the Hummus and the Pita Bread were both "thinner" than I am used to and perfer, but it was still very good. The Meats were delicious, and the Rice and Salad are what you would expect. The Service was on point, and the staff was very pleasant. The food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. Served hot and fresh to my knowledge. The ambiance here is basic, but it is well kept. Everything was clean and felt fresh. If you're in the area and craving Mediterranean Food... drop by and give it a try. Enjoy!!! #jsho read more

Awesome spot for lunch (and dinner too I suppose)! I work across the street and come here all the time. The prices justify the more than generous portions, and you're not left feeling like you got lied to. Flavor is amazing, always on point. If you work around the area, order beforehand and go pick up your food because it can get pretty busy during the lunch rush. 5/5. read more

I love the chicken kabob plate! The chicken is so flavorful and cooked well, but still juicy and tender. The grilled onions and veggies are delicious, as is the rice with sumac. The portion size is enough for 2 meals, which I love! Love their tzatziki as well. The baklava is sweet, but good. Great place to order from. Staff is nice and friendly. read more

I have always enjoyed Mediterranean food. I am glad that I have been able to order from here multiple times. I like to get the lamb gyro plate, which comes with ground lamb and beef that is "slowly cooked on a vertical rotisserie" and also includes salad, hummus, and brown rice. This is so good. I would order this often and felt energized after each portion! What I like about this place is how consistently good it is. Upon every order, there is happiness and a satisfied palate! read more

Love the food.... The service leaves something to be desired. I could have cooked the meal I ordered in the time it took to pick it up. And now for the play-by-play as I wait.... I was told it would be ready at 6:56p. When I arrived close to 7:10 it still wasn't ready... "busy" is what I was told. There were three tables with all guests (2-3 per table) eating when I walked in. The order was on the screen by the counter which leads me to believe they just weren't paying attention. One couple had walked in since I've been here and no other to go orders have been placed on the counter in the time I've been here. And now it's 7:24 and I was handed my food without any apology or something to make me not write this other than "enjoy". Three stars = 5 stars for the food only. I give the service one star because zero is not an option. read more

Came here for the first time and ordered takeout for me and my wife. We ordered the chicken schwarma plate and the combo plate (koobideh, chicken and beef kabob). I was pretty disappointed with the taste. I'm not really sure how to describe it other than the fact it didn't taste like anything. There was not a lot of taste, there was no garlic sauce or anything given. The hummus was bland as well. The chicken kebabs was very dry. Not overly charred but yet all i could taste was char and dry meat. The steak was also dry. The Koobideh, texturely was relatively moist and was the most flavorful thing but again the bar was set rather low. We ended with the baklava which was very oddly soggy and overly sweet, so much so we could not eat it. I will say that the portions were reasonable, but again this meal for 2 plates and a baklava was $55+ so I would at least like something that has more taste. read more
