Iranian Restaurants near Culver City, CA

“Good good food. The tabolue was my fav I came back for seconds then thirds lol. The service was dope asl too. Mind u this the mall. Xavier Alejandro P was my server btw. I’m shouting him out bc if he didn’t let me sample the taboule I wouldn’t have ate here.“

“This place is excellent! One of the best Persian restaurants in Los Angeles ! Wow! I was blown away by the great food. Service and decor was amazing as well.“

“We tried the beef tongue sandwich with crushed green olive, and it was fantastic. The beef tongue was tender and flavorful, and the crushed green olives added a really nice fresh, slightly briny touch that made the sandwich feel unique and well balanced. Every bite tasted fresh and satisfying.

The vibe of the place is great, and the owners are super friendly, which makes the whole experience feel even more welcoming. It’s the kind of spot where you feel comfortable right away. The only downside was the parking, which can be a bit tricky around the area. Still, the great food and warm atmosphere definitely make it worth the visit.“

“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.“

“This place is DIVINE. I’d put it in the top 10 restaurants I’ve ever tried. Truly an incredible experience from the culinary aspect to the service to every attention to detail. The seating is a few tables outside, they brought us complimentary persian tea. Every meal is individually wrapped with cute, themed stickers and decor, which had a special touch. Definitely some of the best persian food I’ve ever had. I’m not a big tahchin person but you MUST get it here. The kabob plates came with salad shirazi as well. Also very affordable for the amount of food we got. Cannot wait to come back here!“

Guests always tell me how delicious the food. If you want delicious quality persian food to have at home or for your event this place is the place!“

“authentic food, not sure if they still are making pizzas theirs is the best“

“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!“

“Nayeb Kabob on 1300 S. Los Angeles Street is a true gem if you’re looking for authentic Persian food done right. The flavors are rich, well-balanced, and clearly made with care—everything tastes fresh, perfectly seasoned, and true to traditional Persian cooking. From the tender, juicy kabobs to the fragrant rice and sides, the menu offers a comforting, home-style quality that’s hard to find.

The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions you get, making it an excellent value. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. You can tell the team genuinely cares about their food and their customers.

While the atmosphere is more simple and casual and could use some upgrades, the food more than makes up for it. During our visit, they were unfortunately out of a few menu items, but even with limited options, what we ordered was outstanding and left us wanting to come back to try more.

If you’re a fan of Persian cuisine—or want to experience it for the first time—this place is absolutely worth visiting. Authentic flavors, great portions, and solid service make Nayeb Kabob a spot I’d gladly return to again and again.“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“Had a fantastic dinner at the warm and welcoming Didar Kitchen.

Located conveniently on Ventura Blvd, a block from Van Nuys, with easy free parking in back, Didar offers delicious Persian food at reasonable prices. Everything is fresh and house-made.

The Zereshk Polo is rice cooked with barberries (they taste like tart cherries). FANTASTIC!!! The serving is large enough for at least two people.

Their Tadig is DELECTABLE crispy rice from the bottom of the pan, with two different aromatic and savory stews on it--so good!

The atmosphere is simple and comfortable, a place to eat, socialize and enjoy your meal.

This food is authentic, fresh, delicious. The owner is so charming and kind that it's a place you'll want to go to again and again.“
