Rawan AlazzamAugust 12, 2016The shesh kabab is Super tasty and the rice is light, their portions is big so share, the spicy sauce is good. The appetizers isn't that good keep on the main course.- Ilusha ZaritskiyAugust 16, 2014The shish kabob is the single most delicious red meat dish in LA. It is tender, seasoned just right and melts in your mouth...if made medium rare. Get the house tea, and sprinkle the powder on rice.

Hanyae_December 29, 2014TAHCHIN with chicken (tue, wed, thu) new experience & very good one loved it. Rice is mixed with egg & yogurt, crispy outside soft inside ♡
Justin OrdovezaMay 24, 2020The beef koobideh is excellent it’s large enough for two meals. They bake their own bread. They serve beer and wine. There’s only metered street parking.
maximus the rulerDecember 21, 2014Love this place. Some of my Persian friends tell me it's not the best in WW, but having tried them all, I somehow disagree. But what do I know.
Abdulaziz AliAugust 14, 2019One of the best Iranian restaurants i ever tried, highly recommended especially the lamb and chatchini
Raffi AryehJuly 31, 2012The LAMB KOOBIDEH with Cherry Rice (Albalu Polo)!!!!! Takes me back 35 years when Iran was Considered the Paris of the Middle east....- AbdulrahmanAugust 25, 2019One of the best Persian restaurant. I like lamb shank & chicken Shamshiri👌🏼
Jessica BrownJune 27, 2018Love the chicken koobideh, and was surprised they had vegan gormeh sabzi. Yum!
Rachel KMay 11, 2015Many vegetarian and vegan options including falafel, stews, curries and vegetable kabobs.
Darius Delaunay-DriquertJanuary 12, 2014My family staple when it comes to eat persian food in LA. Love their veggie ghormeh sabzi!!- Hanyae_August 25, 2014I ordered chicken shamshiri. The plate is huge for me but the food was really really tasty.
- Salem AlnuaimiAugust 12, 2014The best Persian food in LA. Good service but problem with parking space
Make sure you ask for the secret homemade hot sauce for your koobideh.
Christina AnwarSeptember 29, 2014Koobideh, Barg, chicken kebab, Tadik, lavash and butter and rice and butter
Abdulaziz AlammarAugust 20, 2014Loved the lamb with bone .. It served with rice.. Saffron rice is the best
Nour El RefaiNovember 5, 2014Very good Persian food. I ordered Shish Kabob and it was tasty. Service was fine.
Love the chicken kubideh but ask for a special side of their delish shirin polo which is rige with orange peals and pistachios.
- Blow MeAugust 19, 2011The portions are insanely huge...also you HAVE to try the cherry rice, it's amazing!!!
