I recently visited Noon O Kabab with a colleague and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the chicken kebabs, which were cooked to perfection—not dry at all. The flavors were spot on, and the presentation was appealing. It’s great to have … More

Amazing restaurant. I can honestly say this is the best meal I’ve had in several weeks. I had the chenjeh kabab. The sirloin was done to perfection. Our server, Helen, was courteous and knowledgeable. The owner and the staff greeted us warmly. I will definitely be back. More

Noon O Kabab is a fantastically run restaurant and it's always a treat dining here! The staff is extremely welcoming, and service is attentive throughout the meal. Portions are generous (e.g. entrees are easily big enough for 2 hungry people) and the food is consistently of a very high quality. It's located right by the Highwood Metra station (UP-N line) so it's a top pick for me when visiting from the city. Lots of delicious options for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

I am a little late to posting my review, but I still wanted to share it! I visited Noon O Kabab of Highwood on شب یلد Yalda Night and it was so special. I was greeted with such friendly staff and they served me the most delicious food. I had a comforting lentil soup, dolmas, and ghormeh sabzi with dill rice. The portions were incredible and I was excited to take some home. The staff was so hospitable and warm, so true to Persian nature. I loved my experience and I cannot wait to come back.
