Iranian Restaurants near Burbank, CA

“The Persian pizza is great👌 the beef koobideh kabab is even better and if you want extra healthy food, the chicken breast kebab is juicy, delicious and healthy. The owner Arbi is an amazing person and a great chef. I highly recommend this place.“

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

“We had a wonderful experience at Vala Kitchen! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The ambience was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“O. m. G. A must if you are in silverlake region - def get the mazeh plate - the mirsa ghasemi and the wild shallot yogurt were sooooo good. I got the ash e jo & it was so hearty but light at the same time- did not feel bloated afterwards. Super fast service & hella outside shaded seating, perf for people watching.“

“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!“

“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!“

“World Café is a hidden gem in Glendale! This small, clean, and humble shop is run by an Iranian-Armenian owner with years of experience running a sandwich shop in Isfahan, and you can taste that tradition in every bite.

I ordered the beef tongue, roast beef, and hamburger. The beef tongue and roast beef sandwiches were outstanding — authentic in every way, reminding me of the classic Iranian style with fresh parsley and onions. The bread was soft and fresh, and the portions were just right. These sandwiches transported me straight back to Iran.

The hamburger, while decent, had spices (especially turmeric and salt) that slightly overpowered the flavor compared to the other sandwiches. But given how delicious the roast beef and beef tongue were, I’ll absolutely be back to try more of their specialties.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic, flavorful sandwiches with a touch of Iranian heritage!“

“Really like the food. So tasty! I guess the price matches the quality and taste. Highly recommend to try this restaurant. I ordered the beef (forgot the name). I guess it is the most popular one since all of us ordered the same thing (my first time here).“

“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.“

“Everything was so delicious! The saffron was super fresh in everything, and the mast o khiar was excellent on a hot day. Salmon kabob was cooked to perfection. Such great people with wonderful service! I’ve never felt so at home at a Persian restaurant before.“

“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“

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

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

“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!!“

“Todo muy rico y caliente 🔥 buen servicio“

“The atmosphere at this place is wonderful—warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax. The hookah is excellent, with a variety of flavors. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy good food, great ambiance, and top-notch hookah!“

“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.“

“Probably the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. I tried the chicken kebab—it was delicious. The chicken was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The rice was flavorful. Hummus was amazing. The side salad with the beet dressing added the cherry on top. Will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“I just had the most delicious Armenian BBQ and Ikebir, honestly, it blew me away! The flavors were so fresh and rich, everything was super clean and perfectly prepared. I’ve never tasted anything like it before. It was fast, authentic, and full of love. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re seriously missing out!“

“Highly highly recommend. Awesome food. Great owner. Great servers. Best babaganoush ever!“

“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 está súper rico de verda selos recomindo yummy 😋“

“Forget about the rest. Try the best“

“Great food fast and great service“

“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“

“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!“

“Das Essen war reichlich und sehr lecker“

“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.“

“First time there and has a good experience 👍“

“A++++++++++++++++++++++++“

“My favorite restaurant without a doubt. The food is fantastic, beef barg is the best filet I’ve ever had and I’m here once a week either for dine-in or pickup. They have this amazing soup I love too it’s got amazing broth and the meat and vegetables are smashed on the side. To top of off, the fresh bread is a beautiful touch!“

“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!“

“There are many pizzeria in Glendale and burbank. But if you really want to have the best pizza in town, even I may say in the entire LA, you have to try Slash pizza. Especially the Persian style pizza. Also, the German sausage sandwich is one of a kind. I've been their customer for years, and I've never seen any loss of quality in any of their food.“

“My husband and love this spot food taste delicious service is great we live in Palmdale but drive to this spot no question ask? we known owner for years he’s really nice guy.

Vegetarian options: You can eat vegetables here

Parking: Good parking

Kid-friendliness: Kids can be welcome

“We are so happy we found this place in Glendale.
Their food is authentic and amazingly delicious.
Their shish kabob, chicken, and lule is the best from the many we have tried over the last five years.
The owner, Harry, is such a nice person and it shows in the food he makes.“

“Update 8/25/2025:

I wanted to make an update since some things have changed since I initially wrote my first review. This is still easily one of my top three Mediterranean spots in the area. The flavors are always on point, the portions are generous, and the quality has stayed consistent over time. One thing that has changed, though, is the gradual price increase. The chicken kabob plate, which comes with hummus, pita, rice, and salad, used to be about $17 but is now closer to $20 or more. I feel a little conflicted because for the taste and portion size it still feels worth it. At the same time, if you are bringing a date or ordering for more than one person you should expect to spend a bit more than you might anticipate.“

“Food is really good, good prices, lot of food“

“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“

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

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

“I’ve been living abroad for years, and this is the first time I’ve found an Iranian restaurant that truly feels like home. The food tasted just like real homemade meals — fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the restaurant’s location is super convenient and easy to reach.

I wish I lived in Los Angeles, because I would honestly eat here every single day! Their menu is quite large, and I wish I could try everything, but the portions were generous and I couldn’t finish my plate — otherwise, I would’ve definitely ordered more.

I truly wish them success, and I highly recommend everyone to visit this place!“

“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.

Thank you for such a memorable dining experience!“
