Bag of Pita
Eva L.

Ordered takeout. The pita bread was very dry and would not recommend, but $6 was not bad for the amount. The hummus was $8 and was good but not neccesary. The combination platter was the highlight! The meats were all delicious, juicy and flavorful! The rice was really good too.

Returned here but ate at the cafe area. It's been a long time since I've eaten here. The food was ok. But not like I remembered. The cafe felt rushed and the food didn't seem as hot. The parking is still hard. They have a lot but you would have to be real lucky. The ambiance is loud as it's a small area so it was hard to talk. But I'll come back again.

Noon O Kabab offers a more causal seating area and a sit-down service area. They have an expansive menu. Service was a little bit slow. The portions themselves are pretty large. However, all the food was bland. The rice was okay and the roti/pita was also pretty flavorless.

CHENJEH & JOUJEH
Ariel B.

The best Persian food in Chicago. Sitting down in this beautifully decorated restaurant is a pleasure, but the carryout service is just as quick and flavorful. I never come to the side of town without stopping here for a filling meal. The portions are huge and delicious and reasonably priced. The steak and chicken kebabs are always cooked perfectly and juicy. I locks the dill rice and fresh cheese and vegetables given with meals. The service here is always warm and friendly.

Lamb Kabab & Koubideh
Joseph S.

This was kind of pricey. It was almost $35 for this and a diet coke can. When I came in, the hostess was about to seat us then a man came and said something to her and they said the wait was 30 minutes or we could go to the back casual section. When we got back there it is a bit hard to navigate considering there are so many tables and chairs. The food was okay but I think the rice needed more seasoning and the lamb kebab needed something. I was fine with this meal but it definitely could've been better. Hence the 3 stars.

Noon O Kabab never disappoints! The food was absolutely outstanding. The chicken kabob was incredibly juicy and flavorful, the beef was tender and perfectly grilled, and the koobideh was seasoned just right. The saffron and dill rice was fluffy and aromatic, and the grilled tomatoes, fresh basil, onions, and lemon completed the meal perfectly. Every bite tasted fresh and authentic. The portions were generous, the service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming. If you're looking for authentic Persian cuisine in Chicago, Noon O Kabab is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back!

The kababs here at noon have a great smoky flavor from the grill, and the hummus we started with was excellent. The Koobideh (ground beef) and Chenjeh (ribeye) kababs are incredibly juicy, tender, and infused with deep, smoky flavors from the open flame grill. Paired with their fluffy, aromatic saffron and dill rice, every single bite feels authentic and high quality. The portions are massive you easily get enough for two meals and they include all the traditional extras like fresh pita! It's a beautiful dining room with a beautiful ambiance plenty of seating. My problem is with the service it's always so slow! Other than that 100% recommend!!

It was nice inside. Our server was great. The food was good. But think I prefer the other location.

Tadig [Large]
Sheyenne H.

Has been my go to for years. The lamb shank is my favourite but alao the half and half dill rice. Kabob is unbeatable. The chicken is so soft and tender I thought it was salmon lol. A gem in the neighbourhood.

Half and half rice
Sahand S.

Still the best kabob in Chicago. You can't go wrong ordering anything. We have ate there, ordered to go and done catering, and each time they are consistently good.

Lina W.

Every dishe we ordered was fresh and tasty. The squab was juicy and well seasoned. The dips were super flavorful and went perfect with the veggie sticks and pita. Portions are MASSIVE. I don't know how anyone can finish their entree here. Folks all seem to leave fully satisfied and with leftoversI can see why this place is often busy and is a local favorite. Service is attentive and kind. There was a mess up with our drink order but it was quickly rectified without any defensiveness or fuss from either side. On-site parking is limited but there's plenty of paid metered street parking.

Chicken kabob dill rice
Betty U.

Feeling good & hopeful about the Bears vs Packers game so had to order from my favorite Persian restaurant @noonokabab to kick up the heat and excitement! Superb chicken and lamb kebabs, lamb shank, dill rice (oh yes!), fresh hummus, pita bread, and cucumber salad. So what if this is just for two? Can never go wrong with this kind of tasty leftovers. And we were rewarded with a miraculous @chicagobears wild card win!! GOOO BEARS!!

Arash R.

I have been coming to noon for over 10 years now. It continues to be one of the best Persian restaurants in the Chicago area with amazing tahdig and koubideh. Recently I tried the fesenjoon which was disappointing and kabab barg was underwhelming overall. Service has continued to improve over the years and they take good care of their patrons. Ambiance is great for large groups and to have a fun meal with family. Highly recommended for some great Koubideh and one of the few places in city to offer Tahdig (can be better). Don't forgot to try the saffron ice cream if your A1c is below 6 :)

I first tried Ema back in 2022 when I visited Chicago for the first time to attend the Northcoast…read morefestival. For some reason, I overlooked reviewing it then, but I never forgot it, so I was ecstatic when I found out my company's annual offsite team dinner would be hosted at Ema. Our group of 35 was pretty large, so we were split up amongst several tables, but it was nice getting to chat in smaller groups. Our drink orders were taken not long after we were seated, and the food and bevvies started to arrive in short order. I got to try way more during my business trip than I did 4 years ago, but regardless, I noted the quality of food that was served remained consistent over the years. Highlights for me included the salmon, Greek village spread, pita bread, chocolate torte, and honey cake. The salmon was so mild and tender, the Greek village spread taster local and refreshing, and the pita bread was seasoned to perfection and hands down the best I've ever had. The desserts were a surprisingly delicious end to the meal. I didn't think I could stomach more food, but somehow I rallied. I don't even like chocolate that well, but the chocolate torte really hit the spot, and the honey cake was a new-to-me decadent dessert. It reminded me of the flavor of honey grahams but in cake form. I've never had anything quite like it and am really glad I got to try it. Coming back to Ema after 4 years was better than I expected. I love Mediterranean food, and after 5 total trips to Chicago, I must say Ema is so far my favorite restaurant here. I'm not easy to please, but Ema serves up some of the best this city has to offer.

The food is good, but I don't like that the portions have gotten smaller with the price staying the same. I've added pictures to show the difference.

It's your typical kind of ambiance for a place like this--clean but not at all sterile. A welcome quiet spot in the chaos of Wicker. Aside from the delicious, comforting food, the service is incredible. It is rare to find spots like these nowadays and I sincerely hope the CAVA heads (don't get me wrong, I love CAVA!) try this out, too. We were accidentally charged for two orders of dolma when we ordered one, but I didn't realize. The person who took the order--wearing a propellor hat, by the way (hello whimsy!)--walked over to our table to let us know and asked if we'd like a refund and apologized. This already took me by surprise, so while I was fine without it, I said "sure." Next thing I know, they walk over with still two orders of dolma and the refund. I looked for a tip jar to put it back but couldn't find one. It was such an act of kindness and generosity. The kind of small interaction that reminds you of what being human is all about. Any time I'm in Wicker, I will try and stop at this place. Reminds me so much of Bulgaria and the "" I'd always beg for as a kid. 10/10 -- please support this independent restaurant!

The restaurant commands a sense of scale and elegance that immediately impresses. The interior is impeccably designed and spotlessly clean, featuring sophisticated private seating areas, beautifully arranged tables, and an extraordinary collection of fine wines lining the walls. The hospitality was top-tier from the moment I arrived attentive, polished, and effortlessly gracious. To start, I ordered the "Fire and Smoke" cocktail, which arrived artfully crafted, perfectly balanced, and thoroughly sensational. For my main course, I selected one of my absolute favorites: the Spanish Octopus. When the dish was served, the aroma alone was divine, and the execution proved to be an absolute culinary triumph tender, exquisitely seasoned, and full of rich, sophisticated flavor. Between the immaculate environment, vibrant atmosphere, superb libations, and flawless service, The Purple Pig earns full marks from me. A quintessential destination I shall most certainly be returning

It took her a while to acknowledge me standing there, and when she finally asked how she could help, I mentioned I had a reservation and began giving my name. She cut me off with, 'Please wait, I'm very busy.' After another five minutes, she finally took my name and asked my family and me to step fully outside, saying someone would come get us. We were finally seated fifteen minutes later--only after watching another party of three walk in without a reservation and get seated immediately. The appetizers and entrees were good, and our waiter was attentive, even apologizing for the rough start at the host stand. Things seemed to be turning around until we tried to order dessert. Despite being more than forty minutes from closing, our waiter returned to tell us, 'The chef refuses to make any more desserts.' This was that rare restaurant visit where the food itself was solid, but we won't be back. The service made it abundantly clear that our presence was an inconvenience.
