The Bottom Line

Kabab Nab is a Persian restaurant in Al Barsha where the strongest draw is grilled meat, especially juicy kubideh, chicken and mixed-grill combinations. You can order a family platter, try Kabab Tabrizi or sesame kabab, and begin with ash or barley soup. The setting is small, warmly decorated and comfortable enough for family dinners, couples and relaxed evenings.

Sharing is the practical move for larger groups. One review says the Mixed Grill Platter for 5 came with kebabs, rice, yoghurt, soup and unlimited bread, with enough food for at least eight people. Complimentary Iranian tea is often part of the experience, and diners also mention Iranian bread, rock candy and desserts such as kunafa or ice cream.

Service is generally described as attentive, quick and helpful with recommendations. There are a few details to watch. Rice portions may feel modest beside the grills, and Qabuli rice received one clear complaint about flavour.

Parking can be challenging when busy, so nearby spaces may be easier to find at quieter times. One review also reported a strong-smelling hamour dish and flies around the food; if choosing fish, check its freshness before ordering. Prices are generally described as affordable, with several sharing options.
