Review brief
What reviews not flagged by Revdict say
Noon O Kabab serves authentic Persian cuisine in a beautifully decorated atmosphere with generous portions and varied seating options, including a formal dining room and a casual area.

J.J (Yelena) took care of me and my mother visited this restaurant for the first time. We’re new to Chicago and could not have found a better place to eat. We got the lamb sweeper with ground beef kabobs, the kasha-E-bademjan, and a waterme...

This place has the most GORGEOUS handmade painted tiles everywhere in the building. Worth it to go for those mosaics alone. The food was delicious, and everyone working was so kind. :) Highly recommend!!

Heard about Noon O Kabab from family friends and reddit. The ambiance is nice, and the servers are quick to help. We had a buffet of lentil soup, hummus, baba ganoush, dolmeh, falafel, chicken joujeh skewer, chicken kebab, koubideh kebab, r...

I've tried Noon o Kabab three different times, hoping it would get better but it never did. The food is so bad. The kebab, Joojeh and Salmon was undercooked, and you could really taste the raw onion in the koobideh. Every time we ate there,...

Great Persian food served family style. Only negative point is the lack of parking.

Fantastic persian food. Fair prices, great service. They are usually busy so parking can be a challenge, but so worth it!

Came here to celebrate my graduation and was super glad we chose this place. They have two separate sides - one where you can dine in as a sit down place and another similar-ish to a fast food place where it’s more casual. The hummus was ge...
