What People Say

Reviewers love the “authentic flavors” and “massive portions” that make Cazba feel like great value. Many guests highlight the koobideh and chicken kebabs as must-tries, and the rice—especially the tahdig—is consistently praised. Diners also appreciate the “quick, friendly service” and the central location that makes it easy to dine and dash to a concert.
