Everything we ordered was DELICIOUS! Service was fast & the new owner is very sweet! Highly recommend

Showed up on a Thursday evening and absolutely loved the service as well as the food. My coworker and I ordered a salmon Greek salad + chicken shawarma wrap combo. Everything tasted fresh. They made sure to separate my beets and salmon from my salad to keep it from getting wilted. Their lemon mint and balsamic dressing are both delicious + paired well with the Greek salad. Although I ordered carry out, I will definitely return back. The restaurant has a minimalist layout with plenty of seating which is perfect for a date, family outing or a quality lunch break while you're at work. I appreciate Sam for hosting and Armin for managing a wonderful experience. I'll be back soon! read more

**DIDN'T FEEL GOOD AFTER THE MEAL** We ordered a basic Chicken Kabob Plate and hummus for pickup. Pickup was a mess. Arrived during the assigned time window, and the kitchen clearly had no idea about our order. Somehow it wasn't in their system, so had to make it on the spot, while waiting. Twenty minutes later, finally got the food. At that point, ordering ahead felt completely pointless. Chicken Kabob Plate - $21.99 The chicken was juicy, almost too soft. Given that the kitchen rushed the order because we were waiting, it raised some concern about whether the meals were fully cooked. The sides were decent, though, the rice was nice and fluffy. Hummus - $9 Generous portion and nicely textured. Thick, creamy. The food itself tasted fine, but both my husband and I had the worst stomach ache afterward. Could be a coincidence, but it definitely didn't inspire confidence. Between the pickup confusion, long wait, and how we felt after eating, the overall experience was disappointing.

My mom and I were looking for a place for lunch and just happened to walk by Naab Mediterranean Cafe on Fairfax. We decided to stop in as the menu looked good and the place is really clean, modern and welcoming. We were immediately greeted by an incredibly nice guy behind the counter who seated us right away. We decided to order the Addas Polo rice to share, as well as 2 wraps - a Chicken Shawarma wrap and a Lamb Koobideh wrap. The wraps each came with a side salad, which were fresh and crispy, and had such a delicious dressing that was amazing. The rice was so flavorful with the mix of lentils, raisins, dates and onion. The portion was definitely shareable, and I would highly recommend trying it if you go. The wraps were equally as delicious and fresh, and we ended up taking home some of the rice and 1/2 of our wraps each. I am so happy to have stumbled upon Naab as I will definitely be ordering from there again soon!! (As a side note, when I asked my mom what she would like to order for dinner, she said, "why don't we order from that same Mediterranean cafe where we had lunch?" Enough said - great staff, great food, and overall 5 out of 5 experience. read more

Naab Restaurant - Kevin combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have ordered from them multiple times through DoorDash, but this was my first time at the restaurant. The place was very quiet. I personally did not like the interior design of the restaurant, while the ceiling looked more modern, the sitting area was old and very uncomfortable without any design character. The food is actually okay here, the jooje kabob is very juicy and their koobide is well made, however when i received my plate there was a long hair on the very top of my rice and into the tomato that killed my appetite. Eventhough i liked their food, this was enough for me to never order from them again. read more

Honestly for almost $20 and not getting a salad and roasted tomato with my dish is WACK AND NOT WORTH THE MONEY. I asked for a falafel DINNER PLATE and I only received the falafel, bread, rice and hummus. There was no salad or roasted tomato. When I called the restaurant and let them know, they said they don't give you the tomato and salad unless you ask for it?!?!? What kind of sh*t is that? Also, what kind of restaurant are you if you are serving a $17-$20 plate and it doesn't even come with a tomato and salad? Never coming here again and telling all my friends not to come here. I'm a food journalist too. DO BETTER. The hummus was good. I'll give you that. read more

Newly opened Persian restaurant that's worth checking out! I visited this restaurant on a Friday for lunch. Walking-in, my friend and I were the only other patrons at the restaurant. The interior is clean, but not really decorated at all. It was empty, but it could be because it is newly opened. The servers were very and nice and super accommodating. They brought us our menus, food, and check relatively quickly and easily which I appreciated. As we got seated, we were given a complimentary flatbread with butter appetizer. It was okay, I wish the bread was warm and fresh. It felt like it came straight from the package. However, adding the butter and red table spice added more flavor to the flatbread. I ended up ordering the combo kabob and it was great! It came with a beef and chicken kabobs, seasoned rice, and a roasted tomato and pepper. The kabobs were so big and juicy! They were delicious and seasoned well. There was also a lemon slice to squeeze on them which added a nice tangy and refreshing flavor to the meat. The rice was also seasoned well and was soft and flavorful. The veggies were charred well and were juicy and flavorful. For $25, it is a bit pricey for basic middle eastern food, but the portion size was huge so it was worth it. When paying for the bill, we were able to split the check by item which was nice. They also accept Apple Pay. Overall, a great Persian restaurant in the Melrose area. Would recommend for anyone craving middle eastern food in this area. read more

Had dinner delivered. The chicken kabobs were delicious. Moist and with so much flavor. The beef barque was tender and seasoned beautifully. The cherry rice was perfect. The humus is one of the best we have had. Door dash delivered our food and they were quick. read more

What's in their salad dressing?! It's so simple and so delish! Naan never misses and their prices and portions are fair.

Naab Restaurant - Lentil Soup - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

​I am extremely disappointed with my experience here. My brother and I ordered the Kashke Bademjan, and the food was clearly not fresh. It tasted old and, unfortunately, we both ended up with severe food poisoning. My brother was sick all night, and I was throwing up as well. This restaurant might look nice on the outside, but the food quality is dangerous. Please be careful before eating here. I will not be returning. read more

Simple dishes executed so well when it came to flavors. The taste was just delicious. I ordered the chicken kebab platter. The order came with one, very large kebob a nice portion of rice, a grilled pepper and a grilled tomato. I also added a side salad. All was simple and perfect. The price was also very fair. Customer service was accommodating, knowledgeable and very much welcoming. Naab Restaurant is nothing fancy - they're straight to the point if you're looking for a great meal. read more

Really great food and prices, but have ordered twice and items from Door Dash Delivery were missing. Not sure I'll order again.

The tabbouleh had couscous as a filler. Not authentic. I ordered chicken skewers and brown rice and hummus. I had to add spice as it was all bland. read more

Surprisingly. Turn my opinion around. I was going to go to Canters saw this place open at I walked into this place at 9p.m. It started out a little ruff when I walked in they was a table of 3 that was seated and order. I was greeted right away 2nd person in the restaurant and sat down, I first order hot tea and water. I knew what I wanted to try right away waited about 5 minutes to make my order while waiting a nother gentleman sat down definitely Persian the person went to set up his table and right away took his order then walks to me I said " really, really I came in before this person and you take his order before me" he said no, no. Not knowing i understand and speak the language as well. Yes I am an white American. Then he took my order. I ordered humous and yogurt with cucumber and koobideh with lamp. I thought this place would be just ok. But surprisingly very good everything was very fresh. From the side dishes to the main dishes that was served very hot. The portions are nice size. The Ambiance is fresh and modern. I am definitely coming back and try other dish items here. If your in this area a definitely come to soft music playing in the background. up. I need to add they do clean-up all of the shakers at the table extra credit for that. I am happy that everything turned out very well in the end I try not to give bad reviews here on YELP, unless warranted.. read more

very odd and rude experience at the Fairfax location with a tall gentleman in his 40's with long hair who I just asked if the falafel was in fact vegan, his reply was very uncomfortable and starting blabbering about plastics?? and clearly he didn't know nor wanted to speak to us, he litter walked away still blabbering...so we just walked out. I've never really gotten such an angry response to such a simple a question. read more

Best baklava I have ever had!!!

I will come back here just for this. My husband ordered the lamb shank and I got the gheimeh. read more

The chicken wrap was delicious and juicy very nice. The was good the person working at the front counter was really kind.

Feels like we found a hidden gem! Very fair prices for such huge portions, not often the case for LA. Get the tadig (crispy rice that comes with two stews), 10/10. The chicken kabob was great (not dry at all), and so was the falafel wrap (though I wouldn't have minded some sauce). Really friendly service as well. We're already excited to come back and try other menu items! read more

Just opened in the Fairfax district. Food was delicious; chicken and beef dishes tender and juicy. Waiter was great- helpful, nice, smiling. I celebrated my birthday there and they were very accommodating. It was clean, food fresh, and service great! Parking was a little difficult but we parked on side streets. We ate between 3 and 5. I will definitely return to eat here. Happy it was closer then the Westside! read more

Wow, blown away by the food here, and the service was so kind and lovely too. We shared the mezeh plate - kashk bademjan, hummus, mast o khiar, and salad shirazi were SO DELICIOUS - but the sleeper hit was the falafel!! I don't usually care for falafel, but theirs was light and fluffy with perfectly crispy crust, maybe the best I've ever had?? Chicken kabab was juicy and tender with yummy lightly charred edges. Can't wait to go back! read more

Will have to try again. Love the idea of Persian food in Fairfax. The customer service is warm etc. But the food was just not that good for us. The chicken wrap had very little chicken in it. Was small in comparison to what you get elsewhere. Stews we had over the crispy rice were not for us. Seemed too oily. The cucumber salad was fine. Will try again. It was first few days of their opening. But not impressed overall. read more
