Oh, my! The best chicken kabob and pastries

I tried chicken kabob plate and chicken wrap here! Liked it. Ambiance is good but the service seems to be slow!

Naseem's is located in Sorrento Valley across from Qualcomm in a little center with a few restaurants on Pacific Heights Blvd. We first discovered her food when I was pregnant with our son nearly 6 years ago and our doctor's office was located nearby. Soon, it became a RAGING MANDATORY REQUIREMENT that I get her delicious lamb koobideh (ground meat kebab) every time we went to the doctor. Or sometimes Stephen would be forced to make the drive from Escondido even without any appointments because.... you know...cravings 😂
When our son was born I would joke that he's my little koobideh and pretend to eat his cheeks ❤

Naseem and her little cafe will always be so special to our little family. She is such a warm, kind person and you can see how hard she is working and you can just taste and feel the love she puts in to her food. Simple menu of kebab served with rice plates or in a wrap, and it's some of the best around town (don't need no fancy downtown $40 kebab when this is perfection!!) She serves tea and coffee, and if you're lucky to get your hands on them before they sell out, she makes amazing fresh baked cream puffs too! We'll have to show you guys next time if we can get there early enough!

This restaurant is managed by the Nowroozi family. They are quite nice and friendly. The food quality is the best from natural and fresh ingredients. They offer varieties of Kabob and Stews. You can pick kabobs in different format like in wrap, with rice and salad, or with spring salad.
The taste of the food are amazing and it has already the required sides. Thus, you don't need to pay extra for the sides. It is the best place to have a quick but healthy and delicious food during your working days. I usually call Naseem for pre-ordering whenever I start walking to that restaurant. When I arrived there, my yummy meal is ready on the table! As a result, I can come back to my work very quickly with lots of energy.
Friday is the day for treating myself with Naseem's baking and pastries. Their Persian style hot tea along with Naseem's Cream Puff is the best combination for refreshing yourselves during afternoon.
Thank you Nowroozi family for establishing such a successful restaurant.

Fantastic lamb kabob plate! Small restaurant, super helpful staff and we definitely liked the outside seating. They have an extensive menu that’s worth asking about if you stop in. This restaurant is close to a lot of nice places to stop in and check out. Highly recommend.

This is a lovely little restaurant with unique Persian food, great coffee, fantastic service, and a lovely atmosphere.

I love the wraps but the Persian stews are also very good. Try the cream puffs and order a latte for coffee time, it will not disappoint.

Post pandemic they are starting to be open later, I think dinner hours are there now.

Great place for a quick bite or sit down and have a conversation around good food. Lamb kobideh was great. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The service was quick and the portions were also good. It was fresh. They also have a spicy sauce on the side, which was great. Would definitely recommend it for lunch.

Whenever I come here I'll usually get the beef kebab plate. It comes with salad and rice. They give you pretty good portions here. The beef kabob is flavored really well and taste delicious. Everything comes out hot and tasty. Some other dishes I like here are the chicken wrap, vegetarian stew, and our chicken skewers. Everything I had here tasted great. I had the pleasure to meet Naseem on one of my visits. She is very nice and friendly. We had a little chit chat about how she opened up the restaurant and it was a very interesting story. Service here is always good and the staff is always willing to help. They're tucked away in a business Mall complex with plenty of parking. Lunch time does get busy around these areas so plan ahead.
