Service was stellar. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. We went to Noon on a recommendation from friends. Did not disappoint. Husband and I shared the Noon mixed grill and had the eggplant appetizer. Both were delicious. Great experience and quality food. Will definitely be going back. read more

Noon Café is a family-owned Persian/Iranian eatery in a plaza called Totem Square with plenty of parking. Noon Café is a casual family diner offering traditional grilled kababs (aka kebab), appetizers, sandwiches, and pizzas - all Persian/Iranian style. The interior is basic, decorated with photos of Iranian landmarks (I assume). Currently, they have a memorial due to the ongoing war. (Peace to all...) Service is warm and friendly. Be sure to ask questions if the dish names are unfamiliar. The Food: Soltani, $32.99 - 4 Stars Soltani includes one skewer of Koobideh (ground beef) and one skew of Barg (flank steak). Both are well-seasoned with excellent flavor. We ordered the flank steak medium rare, but it was medium with no pink inside. The steak was tolerable, not as tender as it could have be. This dish was served with rice per the menu. After I saw another table has their kabab served with a bread, I asked the server. She said other than rice, there is a choice of Persian bread (flat bread with sesame) and salad. Curious that wasn't in the menu nor did she say it. Not a dealbreaker. Her reply did raise my eyebrow. Zaboon, $16.99 - 3 Stars Menu: Veal tongue, simmered and fried, tomato, pickles, parsley Based on the description, the texture completely threw me off. The meat is mushy to the point of spreadable. The flavor is light with minimum seasoning. I applied hot sauce liberally to the sandwich. Portion size is large. I ate only half. Fries, $6.99 - 3 Stars Menu: Golden and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside Some pieces aren't crispy enough. Some pieces are too thick such that the inside has the potato gritty texture. The sauce is a house-created flavor. We like the sauce more than we like the fries. The food is closer to 3.5 Stars. I like the family vibe and am rounding up to 4 Stars for the overall rating. read more

Food :5/5 Ambiance : 5/5 Service :5/5 We actually came across Noon Cafe by accident while looking for another nearby restaurant where we were supposed to meet someone. When we realized we were at the wrong place, we informed the staff. They were incredibly polite and friendly and didn't show any irritation at all. They kindly said it was no problem and were very understanding. While we were there, we took a look at the menu and decided we should come back and try the food another time. A couple of months later, we returned to give it a try. We ordered the non-mixed grill, and it was absolutely delicious. The beef was cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The chicken was also excellent. The rice was perfectly cooked, and when we added the butter, it tasted amazing. They also had a special Persian spice that elevated the flavor to another level. The service was warm and welcoming. Our server took the time to explain how Persian food is traditionally enjoyed and described the purpose of each ingredient. We followed his suggestions, and the experience was even more enjoyable. The ambiance was simple and modern, and the place was very clean and well maintained. Definitely a must-try. read more

I ordered the mix platter and salad Shiraz for my parents who live in the area. They received it on time, and they also received the note I included in the DoorDash order.

We happen to have dinner here accidentally after the Brazilian restaurant next door was closed for a private event. It was definitely meant to be because we had an amazing experience. You can tell it's family owned and our waiter took the time to describe the dishes and recommend some. He even gave us samples of a drink we were inquiring about.. such top notch service! The portions were generous and affordable! My beef skewer plate was only $16! Fries were amazing and greek salad was delicious. Don't forget the baklava for dessert! Best baklava I've ever had and you can tell it's homemade. Highly recommend this place! read more

I'd say depending on what you order, your experience at Noon Cafe could be just okay or stellar, but I was lucky to come with a group of friends and was able to try a ton off the menu. Pulled up on a Thursday night at 7PM and the restaurant only had 1-2 other parties seated. Zaboon Sandwich (4.5/5): This would absolutely be my go-to order - the tongue is so tender and perfectly seasoned. Bread is the perfect ratio of carbs Persian Pizza (1.75/5): I don't think this one is great, think like a not super nice frozen combo pizza energy, but with beef hot dogs. If that's your vibe, you'll love it, but wasn't what I was looking for. Koobideh (4/5): Well seasoned ground meat blend. I thought the rice and veg was fairly standard fair. The rice in the dolmas were a bit soft for me, but was actually nicely balanced in flavor (I've had some really sour dolmas in my time). Roasted tomato was a nice touch though! Barg (4.25/5): Steak is actually perfectly cooked, super tender and juicy. Didn't come with a ton of protein, but came with the standard sides and was delicious, especially with a hit of acid from the lime wedges. Knafeh (1.5/5): In spite of the name, this is not knafeh, which was a big disappointment as I LOVE knafeh. This is just pistachio with kataifi, which isn't bad, but I was looking for a warm, crispy disk stuffed with cheese. read more

Service was very friendly, no issues with that. We paid at the front at the end. I don't know if I got unlucky/went on an off day. All the other reviews said the food was good, but I was rather disappointed. We tried the noon mix grill for $43, which came with a lot of white rice with some yellow rice sprinkled on top. The meat was surprisingly bland and overcooked. I expected it to taste better for this price. The $8 hummus and pita were just ok too. read more

Great place to get Persian food in Kirkland! Their beef skewer was my favorite thing that I had but everything as a whole was really good including the chicken and the rice. Pizza was OK, something that I would skip on next time. The service was pretty good. Overall, I highly recommend and would come back. read more

We heard a lot about this place so we decided to try it for lunch. The waiter was very nice and knowledgeable, he told us the significance of each dish and how it was supposed to be eaten. The place itself is quiet. We were the only one there so it wasn't busy at all. We ordered: - zamboon (tongue sandwich) --- good portion, love the bread, it was light, soft inside, but crispy outside. The meat was juicy and soft. I wish it had more flavors though. The dish also had a nice presentation as well. - koobideh platter - 1 skewer of beef, rice, taziki sauce and a roasted tomato --- the rice was very aromatic, the butter helped balance it out. The meat was very tender and juicy. I love how it goes well with the raw onion and the basil. Overall, it was a pretty good place to eat. Portions was good for the price. read more

Great burger! Must try! I have tried their sandwiches before too! Very good! This time I got it I was a little shocked at the Shirazi salad thst I paid $10 for! I get jt, it's a chopped salad but $10 for a tiny side size? They could do better about serving size or reduce the price! It's more like a $6 salad and not worth $10z read more

I absolutely loved my first experience here at noon café. I came here with two other friends and we ordered three things to share. We got the Persian pizza, the hamburger, and the sosis bandari (sausage) sandwich. I was absolutely transported back to Tehran where I had delicious Persian pizza. It was a nice throwback to a nostalgic time for me. The sausage sandwich was delicious, the bread was perfect and not too thick or crunchy. The burger was good. Our server, I believe was the owner and he was incredible. His service was prompt, he explained what items were popular, greeted as very kindly, and overall made our experience very lovely. I highly recommend anyone visit noon café, especially if they love Persian food. I will definitely be coming back to try some other foods. read more

Had takeout food from this restaurant. The hummus and the fries were solid. However, I wasn't a fan of the pizza - it was very blend and the cheese was too heavy overpowering everything else. The beef tongue sandwich was OK - the texture was more like a ground meat, and though had too much of moisture from the meat making it not crispy, but mushy - not for me read more

I've been low-key obsessed with this place for weeks (maybe months?) thanks to DoorDash--but honey, going in person? Game changer. The food? Even better fresh. The vibes? Immaculate. The staff greeted me with the kind of warm, smiling faces that make you feel like a regular, even if it's your first time walking in. It's a charming little spot that seriously delivers--both to your door and to your soul. I'll definitely be back for another bite of heaven. read more

We are from California and visiting Seattle and decided to try persian food. California in known to have good persian food but I must say this was the best authentic persian food we had.

I used to rave about this place, specifically about their breakfast tray. I visited again recently, and they have removed that from the menu, instead splitting it up into two options, sweet or savory. Neither of them come with any protein, so you're just paying $16 for bread and dips. We ordered the omelette instead, which was actually sunny side up eggs. Service was unhelpful. read more

Service was great and food was delicious! All the meat skewers were great and very family friendly atmosphere.

We moved here from SoCal less than two years ago and have tried Persian food in town. The kabobs of those famous restaurants were disappointing. We stopped to order the kababob. Here, we always order bandari and tongue sandwiches, which are very good, and the staff is welcoming. Today, we ordered their mixed grill kabob, and I can tell you it is the best Persian kabob in the greater Seattle area. read more

My family and I stopped by for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was fairly busy but we were greeted immediately. They have a large menu, and I opted to order the Vaziri (one skewer of koobideh and one skewer of chicken). Service was friendly and our food arrived within a timely manner. The meal was presented very nicely with good portion sizes. The chicken and beef were cooked well. I liked how the meal came with a side of yogurt. One drawback was the tomato, which I think could have been roasted a little longer, but this wasn't a big deal. Overall, this is a nice spot for Persian food especially if you live near Redmond or Kirkland. In the future I want to try their sandwiches and Persian pizzas. read more

My family and I just enjoyed our lunch at Noon Cafe. My 4 year old was craving pizza after church and I was craving Persian food so this was the perfect place to try! We ordered the baklava to start since our 4 year old and 1 year old needed some distraction before lunch and that was plated beautifully and absolutely delicious! Then we ordered the veggie pizza and the chicken kabob and hummus and it all exceeded our expectation! On top of everything being delicious the service was top notch! The staff were extremely accommodating and interactive with our kids which made us feel very welcomed since we don't go out much with our kids because they can be a handful to be around when we eat in public. The place was nicely decorated with plants and kept clean and they were putting fresh flowers which made the ambiance so nice to be around! We will definitely be returning here! Our new favorite Persian food spot for sure! read more

I really like this place, been there 3 times already. My favorite is the beets salad. I had the beef and chicken kebab plates before which comes with rice and a grilled tomato but this time I ordered the chicken skewer only (no rice), and it was pretty big which is good because prices are a bit high for a hall-in-the-wall type of establishment. I paid $39 ($46 with tip), for a small Persian tea, 2 chicken skewers, and the beet and greens salad. The service was very attentive. Definitely a place I will go back to. read more

Amazing food but super slow service! I would have given it a five stars if we were not starving patiently for our order. I would not dine in again but probably go grocery shopping and place an online order!

The Soltani chicken was mix of juicy chicken kabab & the softest beef kabab i have ever had! it comes with rice, grilled tomatoes and lots of basil leaves. its like a whole basil plant without the roots. friendly staff, hopefully they hire more or find a way to speed up their kitchen! this restaurant is new & very neat! with plenty of parking options read more

Service - 2/5. The server/front cashier is nice, but it took more than 30 minutes to get food. Some people left because of the long wait. My boyfriend even said he would never come back here ever again, but his opinion changed after eating their food. This can be possibly resolved by hiring more people in the kitchen. Ambiance -3/5. It's a casual dining place. I'd give a better rating if they kept a place a bit cleaner. Our tables, chairs, and floor had grease stains and I almost slipped even though I was wearing tennis shoes. Food - 4/5. Chicken and koobideh were savory and cooked to the perfection. Price - 3.5/5. It's a bit over priced, but these over priced food became a norm now. The bill for 2 kebab (chicken & kubideh) plates came out to be $82 (after tax and tip) for lunch. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch here and would come back here again. We might call in to place our orders before we head out there though. read more

We came here specifically for the veal tongue sandwich and it was very good! More than adequate volume on top of a well made and seasoned pulled tongue nestled inside a fresh baguette soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. We tried two different pizzas on a return visit but we were not as impressed. Cafe was not crowded in the early evening and service was attentive. Plenty of tables and chairs for a comfortable dining environment. Go for the sandwiches. read more

I had a late afternoon sennin-so shiatsu session in Kirkland and was looking for something substantial for a late lunch/early dinner (4/23/23). Using my trusty Yelp app, I decided to seek out Noon Cafe located in Kirkland's Totem Lake area. I enjoy Persian cuisine, so I looked forward to seeing their spin with starters, sandwiches, and pizza. Noon Cafe was easy to locate using surface streets and proximate to I-405. Convenient and spacious shared parking lot at Totem Square, I found a spot right out front. First impression upon entering was clean, orderly, sleek with ample indoor seating. Their menu had a selection of nibbles like chips & cheese or fries, soups, salads, and a burger but you can tell their forte are with their pizza and sandwich selections. I veered from the Mortadella that originally caught my eye and wasn't as adventurous to try Zaboon (veal tongue) or Maghz (brain) separately or as a combo. I ended up ordering the Bandari sandwich to go ($15.90). This is served warm with sliced fried beef sausages, fried onions, parsley, pickles, and their special spicy sauce. I opted for that, but one can request cheese and/or mushrooms for an additional charge. After a brief wait, I was handed a fairly hefty takeout box from the friendly counter person. Omg, the tantalizing scents that was wafting from that box driving home to Shoreline! Once I arrived home and opened the box, I was amazed at the expertly wrapped, huge sandwich. Easily one sandwich could feed two or three people. It traveled well, unwrapped it, and dug in with that first bite. My Yelp tag line mentions dazzling flavors and wow did Noon Cafe deliver! All the contents held together and melded well. Fantastic! I shared this with The Homie and he too deemed the Bandari as tasty. I brought the leftovers the next day to work and surprisingly tasted even better. That combination of ingredients and what comprises their special spicy sauce really makes this unique, delicious find. Always satisfying to visit a spot for the first time and end up with an amazing, memorable experience. Noon Cafe - a worthy detour for delicious food with a Persian spin. read more

We went there for dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant was busy, but we easily found a table for our group. We ordered two sandwiches and the Persian pizza. It took about 15 min for the pizza to be ready, the sandwiches came out faster. The food was good overall, and my friends said that they tasted close to what you find in Iran, especially the pizza. Overall we enjoyed our experience. read more

So I would be very careful when eating here. We had ordered food to go for our office and unfortunately those who ate the pizza got very sick. One of us contacted the restaurant to let them know and they honestly couldn't care less it seemed. Their response on the phone was "yeah so?" & "maybe they just don't react well to the pizza". A bit concerning so just be cautious. It was only those who ate the pizza that got sick. We understand mistakes happen but their lack of concern is what is more alarming. read more

Food was great and they gave me free samples which was a nice surprise. I would come back

Low quality food, over priced, uninteresting ambience, limited service, and disappointing overall. I was excited that they have added kabob to the menu, and ordered their bakhtiary kabob, which was supposed to be a skewer of chicken kabob and a skewer of chenjeh according to the menu. However, it ended up being a single skewer of half chicken and half chenjeh! Very small portion of kabob and mostly rice! For $36 it was very underwhelming, especially compared to other cafes in the area offering the same kind of food. If I knew it's a single skewer, I wouldn't have ordered this dish. The menu was deceiving for sure. I tried their pizza too, but the crust was sweet and dry, and the toppings were very heavy. For the same price, I've had much higher quality pizza with incredibly better ingredients elsewhere! Not to mention their yogurt drink had an unexpectedly fizzy taste, which was not described on the lable. It was unclear if it is self service or not. There was a server, but she only took the order and didn't bring utensils, plates or cups. They didn't even use compostable cups! All plastic! The ambiences was not interesting either, no artwork, no decoration. All in all, I don't plan to go back and don't recommend this place. read more
