Iranian Restaurants near Burbank, CA

“My aunt, daughter, and I popped into this place for lunch on our way home. The food was delicious with a good portion size. My daughter and I shared the chicken and beef combo plate and still had quite a bit to take home with us. Food has really good flavor and the owner was so nice. I’m definitely saving this place for the next time I’m driving through the area.“

“Great place and an excellent service. Very delicious food at affordable prices.“

“Here’s an example of a glowing review for Vala Kitchen:

Five Stars! ?????
Vala Kitchen is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is warm, modern, and inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home.

The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a perfect balance of fresh, flavorful, and innovative dishes. I was blown away by the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in presentation. Every bite was an explosion of flavor!

Whether you’re in for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, Vala Kitchen exceeds expectations. I can’t recommend this place enough and will absolutely be returning soon“

“I think that their food is delicious. Time to time when i am around that area i have to go and eat there. Their food is great . I will realy recomend every one to go and try the food.“

“As a Persian American, I am so glad I found this place. It offers something I’ve been wishing for my whole life, modernized Persian food. Traditional is unbeatable, but I’ve always wondered what it would be like if people took those recipes and updated them. Azizam offers that. I came specially for the kuku sandwich and it was excellent, simple and very fresh. Same with the shallot yoghurt and Kipteh. We also tried the secanjaben spritz which if you like those flavors you will love. I really love this whole concept and would love to see more dishes! The ambience is friendly and warm. Highly recommend.“

“The sweetest most kind hearted people here. Definitely recommend for some yummy authentic Persian pizza! The food was great but what made it even better was the people who served and took care of us. If we weren’t from out of town, we would be regulars here for sure. Please come give them a visit and try their delicious and comforting food! They don’t just have pizza! Sandwiches and other yummy cuisines from Iran are included in the menu here too. I had an amazing time, and you would too!“

“Super delicious food/desserts, fast service, very friendly staff, clean and one of the few places that’s open till late night.“

“This place is a mom and pop restaurant, and the owner is a wonderful charming man who makes the best sandwiches. The food is clean and very delicious. The fries and fry dip, cheeseburger, mushroom cheeseburger, the olivier salad, and homemade pomegranate juice are must haves. In this age of low quality fast food, these places are rare gems. The food takes time to prepare, but quality takes time.“

“Food this good could only be made with a mother's love! Sogol's plate is a great business run by great women and I would definitely recommend their to-go orders for busy students as the ordering and pick-up process were super easy. I ordered the Kotlet sandwich and it was super flavorful. You will not be disappointed and the portions were quite filling. Can't wait to order more amazing meals in the future!“

“First time coming here and the food was fantastic. I honestly can’t wait to try their other offerings. Located on the east side of Glendale Ave, just north of the freeway. Small parking lot, but street parking is also available. Outdoor seating is also available. The lamb shank was calling to me and I absolutely enjoyed every bite. Substituted for a different rice as well.“

“We decided to give them a try and were absolutely delighted by their service and quality of food. They took our order just before their closing and we picked up the order in 25 minutes. We ordered chicken koobideh, chicken thigh, and beef koobideh wraps (fries on the side) and they all were extremely delicious with generous portions. They also have ready to go food and their cucumber yogurt and olivieh salad were very good and tasty. We'll be back for sure. Thank you to the team at Aiden's. Keep up the good work and consistency.“

“Muy deliciosa comida el lugar muy limpio y acogedor tienen muchos platillos diferentes la comida muy fresca te la cocinan cuando la ordenas y muy rapido gracias farid lo recomiendo definitivamente yo regresare las veces k pueda la carne muy buena calidad t muy fresca bendiciones“

“Kaban Persian Cuisine is, without a doubt, one of the finest dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with exceptional hospitality. The owner is incredibly friendly, warm, and genuinely dedicated to making every guest feel at home. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure your visit is nothing short of perfect.

The atmosphere is equally impressive. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, offering a cozy yet elegant vibe with plenty of seating. It’s a place where you can relax, enjoy the ambiance, and look forward to an unforgettable meal.

And then there’s the food—oh, the food! Kaban Persian Cuisine absolutely knocks it out of the park. Every dish is prepared with the highest quality ingredients, served fresh, and arrives at your table piping hot. The portions are generous, and the value is unbeatable. You truly get more than your money’s worth here.

My personal favorite is the beef kubideh—it’s a masterpiece. The meat is perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked to perfection every single time. But honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Whether it’s the tender, flavorful kebabs, the fluffy and fragrant rice, the freshly baked noon (bread), or the perfectly grilled veggies, every bite is a testament to the skill and passion that goes into the cooking.

This is, hands down, my favorite restaurant. Kaban Persian Cuisine sets the gold standard for Persian food. If you’re looking for a place that offers outstanding service, a welcoming atmosphere, and the most delicious Persian cuisine you’ll ever taste, this is it. I cannot recommend it enough. Do yourself a favor and try it—you’ll be hooked!“

“I'm at a loss for words, but I'll try my best. Food? Amazing! Perfect amount of seasoning and the portions are huge! And this is coming from a big dude. For the appetizers, my favorites were the Kashk E'bademjan (Eggplant Delight), Potato Salad, and the Hummus! They have more selections, but this is what I was able to try. I hear all are great! For the Entrees, ALL OF THEIR KABOBS ARE FIRE (MMM MMMM YUMMY). I had a sample of most them and in the islands, we would say "broke da mouf kine", which translates to, the food is *beep beep* GOOD! If you've never had Persian Food, or you love it, this is the restaurant for you! Drinks? I love Korean Soju and Cass beer, so yeah, +10 points from me. They do carry various Wines and Beers though...and of course your choice of Soda Pop. Atmosphere? It' gives you a Kewl Kids Vibe; a classy place where you can be yourself with family and friends and just enjoy each others company. You have your choice of Indoor and Outdoor dinning which is amazing. There's also a private room upstairs that can hold 20 people for a meal and karaoke (there is a fee to reserve, but very much worth it). Staff? We were greeted at the door as if we were coming home. Pasha and his staff go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met. Their suggestions on meal and drink pairings are spot on. I can't thank Pasha and the crew for making our group outing a success. Overall? I'll be going back and I hope that you add this restaurant to your list of 'go to' places to dine at. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. (Unless your attitude stinks or you're not willing to try new food ‍) Pasha again, thank you so much for the hospitality. I already told Fatemeh that I'll be coming back again. سپاسگزارم“

“Todo muy rico y caliente 🔥 buen servicio“

“Loved it, amazing food and service was phenomenal. I will definitely go back.“

“Taste of Tehran was my first time eating at a restaurant in Tehrangeles, and it was an awesome choice. This was definitely one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I've been to in LA. Everything was so great. And yes, I ate a lot of food on the first day here. I started off with some of the stews that included gormeh sabzi, the gheyme, and ash reshteh, which were all very tasty. The surprise hit to me was the Lentil Quinoa Salad. Seriously, one of the best salads I've ever had. It was sweet, refreshing, and savory all at the same time. No words to describe. And then the meats: the koobideh and soltani plate, just fabulous, along with that lentil rice. I can honestly say that Persians make the best rice out of all Middle Eastern countries! Even the barberry rice was amazing. Never had a rice this sweet and fruity before! Overall, an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Don't be fooled by the looks of this place. It looks like a quick, over the counter order type of restaurant, but the food is top notch. Even Anthony Bourdain has been here! I shot a Youtube video of my experience here, which you can see on my Youtube channel, Rockstar Eater.“

“todo está súper rico de verda selos recomindo yummy 😋“

“My first time in Los Angeles, last time I had food with quality and taste was in Iran! Best Persian food in Los Angeles for sure!! Make sure you get the rice and the juicy chicken! Their Baklava was so good too!!“

“First time there and has a good experience 👍“

“Very impressed with Javan! Service was so helpful and friendly, especially our server Victor. The food was outstanding and so fresh. The combination of flavors in the Alex salad was absolutely outstanding. Our vegetarian Koobideh was delicious. The hummus and babaganoush were perfect. Thank you - we will be back!“

“Holy Moly! Really good charcoal-fired kebabs at a really good value. This Mom and Pop place is clean, welcoming and offers high-quality food. The steak kebab was amazingly tender and flavorful and the Spicy Chicken breast and regular Chicken breast kebabs were equally delicious. We ordered the platter which includes perfectly prepared rice, creamy hummus, lavash bread, and a large green bbq’d pepper and tomato. The kebabs and vegetables are cooked over a charcoal fire, which adds to the wonderful flavor. The owners are personal and friendly and have pride in their business. The restaurant is located in a small center and not visible from the road. There are a few tables, but it is primarily take-out orders. I will definitely be back to try the Lula kebabs and the red bean salad.

Parking: Plenty of parking in retail center parking lot.“

“?Love this spot the food always so good and their meats are so flavorful and tender Shirazi salad is my favs the roasted tomato and jalapeño too plus that one special sauce that has spices and a tangy lemon taste goes real good on everything ? trust me this place is so worth it ?“

“Have you ever entered a business and immediately feel like you just walked into your home where family is waiting to greet you? That was the very feeling I had when I stopped by the NoHo Cafe today. I knew the food was good as I used the delivery service before. Today I decided to visit the Cafe and I promise I’ll continue going frequently. The food is delicious but what won me over was the welcome and love you experience when you walk in the door. The staff is amazing... the Cafe has a very “welcome home” atmosphere. The complimentary cup of soup is AWESOME. I sat at a corner table allowing me to do what I love...watch people. As I enjoyed my delicious first meal of 2020 I watched as every person who entered was treated with care and joy. Just like being home the staff will keep checking to see if the food is ok and if you need anything. The NoHo Cafe is a place I recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy a good meal and to experience a “welcome home” feeling. Thank you NoHo Cafe for starting my 2020 with a reminder of the importance of kindness.“

“The Lule kabob is very juicy and tender! Full of flavor! Very friendly staff, ready to take your order. Catering services are excellent too. They are closed Sundays, but they may cater food for special events on Sundays is you ask!“

“The wine bar you wish you could stumble upon every night! Great Persian food- you can tell they use fresh farmers market produce. And arguably the best natural wine list in town. This spot is a real gem. Get the Nazkhatoun (eggplant dip) w/ feta, Ghormeh Sabzi or the Fesenjan - both delicious stews. And their tarts for dessert are excellent.

Vegetarian options: Nazkhatoun (eggplant dip) w/ feta, Ghormeh Sabzi, shallot dip, Shirazi salad (cherry tomatoes and cucumber), cucumber dip

Parking: Their parking lot is just south of the restaurant on the corner of Virgil and Melrose“

Their shish kabob, chicken, and lule is the best from the many we have tried over the last five years.

“York Kabob deserves high praise for their exceptional customer service. Despite the initial oversight of forgetting to include the stew in my order, they promptly rectified the situation by delivering two kinds of stew to my doorstep at no extra charge. Their attentiveness and willingness to make things right left a lasting positive impression. The food itself is delicious, with fresh ingredients and perfectly marinated kabobs cooked to order. York Kabob's commitment to customer satisfaction is truly commendable, making them a standout restaurant in this area

Vegetarian options: Ghormeh Sabzi“

“Service was great, food selections were many, food portions was huge, food quality amazing! Outdoor seating arrangements was proper, huge screen playing selective live music songs was enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“The best koobideh I have ever tried!! Delicious food with an amazing price.“

“I got catering for a 200 person wedding. We got numerous of their Persian menu items and the tray passed. All of our guests loved it and thought it was the best Persian food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Their service and presentation was flawless. We had zero regrets utilizing them and for any other function we will definitely hire them again“

“Shaherzad is a standout spot in the heart of Westwood's Persian Square -- authentic, flavorful, and always welcoming. The food is consistently excellent, from their juicy kabobs and aromatic stews to the freshly baked bread that comes straight from the oven. You can truly taste the care and tradition in every bite.

The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive servers who make you feel like part of the family. The location is ideal -- right by UCLA and surrounded by the rich culture of Persian Square.

One of the highlights: live Persian music with a singer every Saturday night! It's a beautiful way to enjoy the culture while dining, but make sure to book a reservation in advance, as it tends to fill up quickly.

If you're looking for an unforgettable Persian dining experience in LA, Shaherzad should be at the top of your list.“

“A++++++++++++++++++++++++“

“Great place to spent with family and friends 🌹🙏🏻“

“I had one of the best lunches of my life at Tehran Restaurant in LA—an experience I'll never forget! The food was absolutely exceptional, perfectly prepared and full of authentic flavors. Ms. Simin, the lovely owner, made me feel like a VIP with her warm and attentive service. I truly loved every moment and can't wait to visit again soon. Thank you for such a memorable dining experience!“

“Excellent food here. Plate of raw onion and basil set out first. Our Soltani Kabob and Luleh Kabob plates were enormous. We probably should've just split one. They were both delicious. Meats were tender and flavorful. Rice was awesome. The fresh bread was warm, and great. Service was good. The restaurant is in a 3 store corner mall, so the parking is really tight (lot is shared by a liquor store, a pizza place, a bar, and the restaurant). The inside is fairly basic but nice old photographs on the wall. Highly recommend.“

“I love the kabab kobideh with sangak and reyhon. Kabab was juice and we enjoyed it. Just I leave 65 miles away. I wish I close by so I can go every weekend. How lucky the people leaving close by🥰“

“This is a quick stop to get some Mediterranean food large portions child friendly I do recommend“

“Everything was FRESH and FRESHLY- MADE, TASTY, and DELICIOUS at Sherman Oaks Kabob Village. Even the pita bread is made fresh from scratch. Nothing is pre-cooked, processed, or from packages. It was a bit of a wait (20 minutes), but it's worth having everything cooked while you are there. The spiced tea is freshly-brewed and wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised to have such a nice meal in such a small strip mall restaurant. It was my first time there but I am sure I will be back soon to try other dishes.

Parking: Parking in a strip mall with a lot of other restaurants and businesses depends on what time and day you are there.“

“One of my top favorite Mediterranean places to go. My go to is the Lamb Gyro Plate with the Dolma's. The serving size is worth the price. It's super tasty and amazing service.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to get through the door. Super easy“
