I was searching my app for an affordable mediterranean spot and this place came out so I gave it a try. I thought their food was good because it had a good rating online and their food looked good in the pictures but I was wrong because their food wasn't good, it was actually super great! The cashier, manager, and server were super nice and attentive and it costed me about almost only $30 for two skewers, salad, and hummus.“

“We’ve been ordering food from here for the past two years, and they’ve never let us down. The food is incredibly delicious, and the service is outstanding. Their ghorme sabzi is amazing, and their kotlet is the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this place for any gathering if you want to host with style and great taste!“

“Dining at Kourosh was a pleasant experience. The menu is extensive with both flavor & affordable pricing. The best time to come is during lunch hours. I did forget to take photos of the food but I can guarantee it looked & tasted great. Kourosh doesn't play around. They have a beautiful interior of the restaurant with music that elevates the experience. I had a wonderful time speaking with Mary; their manager. Who provided excellent service & a warm atmosphere. You won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be back for more.

Vegetarian options: On the photos posted with the review you may clearly see which dishes are labeled vegetarian.

Parking: The restaurant is located in a sizeable plaza. Plenty of parking can be found & there is a residential area nearby that could be used for parking in case of a busy lot. Otherwise, the lot is more than sufficient.“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“If you’re a fan of authentic Persian cuisine, especially Koobideh kebab, look no further — this restaurant serves the absolute best koobideh in the area. Perfectly grilled, juicy, and full of flavor, their koobideh is cooked to perfection every single time. You can tell right away that they use high-quality meat and traditional spices, staying true to the original Persian recipe.

But it’s not just the kebab that stands out — the rice (chelow) is absolutely delicious. Light, fluffy, and aromatic, it complements the kebab beautifully. The salad is fresh and crisp, adding a refreshing balance to the richness of the main dish.

The interior of the restaurant is truly impressive — beautifully designed, clean, and full of character. It creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes the dining experience even more enjoyable, whether you’re there with family, friends, or on your own.

I highly recommend this place to anyone who’s craving authentic, high-quality koobideh kebab in a setting that’s both cozy and elegant. Once you try it, you’ll keep coming back — it’s that good!“

“My favorite Lebanese place in the valley. Hands down!“

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

“Exceptional bakery. Beautiful packaging for an elegant gift“

“excellent food, affordable menu“

“The owner is one of a kind, not only is the food the best quality and Persian cuisine in westwood, but the owners attentiveness to detail is also extraordinary. The workers and owner have never missed a detail in any of my orders while always being diligent regarding the timing of my take out orders. My favorite is the sangak pizza and juicy chicken kabob. Can’t go wrong with those. I only do take out so I’ve never dined in but the sauces they offer for the salad and pizza are also great. Definitely try them out for your next dine in or takeout experience.

Also, the owner waited for me to pick up my order after closing time since I was running late. Really the best.“

“The outside look of this restaurant does not represent the Inside. Very lovely décor inside. Lunch was pretty busy but service is great. Food does not take long.
I had Ghormeh Sabzi. The stew as its described, is different from my understanding. Basically had one type of herb and meat plus the sauce. The sauce taste very strong. I cannot describe the flavor.
The prices are not bad. Very reasonable.
Stick with the Kabobs.“

“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.“

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

“I recently visited Vanak restaurant, and it was a pleasant experience. The place is cozy, with a relaxed atmosphere perfect for a casual meal. The staff was very friendly and quick to take our orders.

My son ordered Joojeh Kabsb, which was juicy and flavorful, served with a side of rice. I ordered Abgoosht, and I loved how fresh and well-seasoned it was. It reminded me my childhood traditional abgoosht places in Tehran.

The prices were reasonable, and the portions were just right. Overall, Vanak is a great spot for a quick and tasty meal. I’ll 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!“

“Delicious!!!!! I want to try everything on the menu!!! Order the Adas rice, amazing!!“

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

“this place by far has one of the best Kebab plates ever growing up eating kabobs it was very hard to find original here in the states very few places can make it as good as this place does the chef here is as original as it gets juicy and tender and full of flavor I love this spot it is gem in the neighborhood great place in San Fernando Valley I've had the lamb shank also and they're filet mignon skewers are delicious in the portions if you're not super hungry you're going to have some food for later on humongous“

“Technically a small grocery store with kitchen. Their meat samosas are to-die for. They have goat, beef, chicken, or potato. They also have what we would call baked empanadas and stuffed puff pastry as well, but our family craves the samosas. Kitchen is on-site and also offers typical Northern-India / Pakistani fare that is mostly ordered "to go" and by the "from there" people, so it must be authentic and region-specific. Chutney for sure is - very different from Anarbagh and very spicy hot-and-sour for the average American taste, so be warned. Everything except samosas/empanadas/pastry is cooked to order - no hot lamps there.“

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

“Consistency for 25+ years. The food has all the flavors w zero short cuts. Fresh made to order. Giant portions served family style. Delicious mouth watering tender chicken with a saffron pillow rice. What else can you ask for?

Try the best in west valley. Try orchid kabob. Tell them Paul sent you 😊“

“The lunch special is a really good deal as the food is always hot and delicious. The long grain basmati rice is extremely soft and so delicious. The boneless chicken kabobs are super juicy and cooked to perfection. We also tried the ghormeh sabzi and the gheyme and they were both very good!!! one of my favorite hidden gems on the west side of the valley. The owner is very kind and sweet as the food is made with love.“

“Small kitchen serving authentic persian food. Owner makes the food himself. It is a take away place. No dine in. The food is very authentic and generous amount. Would definitely recommend if you want to try Persian food specially if it's for a group of people. Would try again.“

“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!“

“Mr. Barani is a loving and kind person, and with excellent management, they have created a great atmosphere for artists and dear compatriots. I hope they are always successful. May God protect them

Mr. Barani is a kind-hearted person who has created an excellent space for artists and customers, with a wonderful atmosphere, high-quality food, and exceptional service. I highly recommend that you experience Safir at least once.“

“Sushi was delicious! Highly recommend the hand rolls! The crispy rice was okay, but other then that the food was great! Definitely going back! They have tables outside so I ate there thinking it was dine in but seems like the tables are there to just stop and eat your to-go orders really quick. Not really a server around but the guy who helped me order was very friendly.“
