Ordered ghormeh sabzi for takeout. It was quite possibly one of the worst tasting ghormeh sabzi I've ever had. I will not order from them again but it was really bad. The tadik was awful too. Should be a crime to sell this dish as food.

My name is Mickey and I'm a black domestic shorthair cat from Australia. I was told by other cats that have been out here on holiday that this is the BEST Persian restaurant in California and I have to say I am not disappointed in any way!! The food was great and the atmosphere here is awesome and I really appreciated that the staff treated me with respect even though I'm a cat. I will be recommending this place to all my feline friends that much I can promise!!

I made a reservation 2 weeks in advance for New Year’s Eve. I received a confirmation text, provided my credit card information, and explicitly agreed to a $20 per person no-show fee if I failed to show up without notice. A day before 12/31/25, I was asked to reconfirm my reservation by text. I confirmed and received a thank-you response. At that point, there should have been zero ambiguity.
Despite all of that, when my guests and I arrived on New Year’s Eve, the restaurant was overcrowded and fully booked, and we were told that our table had been given to someone else. After pushing back, staff checked their system and confirmed that my reservation was valid. Yet there was still “no table available.”
What followed was 25 minutes of confusion, excuses, and embarrassment. The main manager was “on vacation,” and staff members acting as managers had no explanation, and no solution; just informal apologies. We were told the owner rearranged tables and reservations, which frankly confirms that this was a management failure, not a guest issue.
To make matters worse, they attempted to bring tables in from outside, wipe them down on the spot, and seat us by the entrance door in a high-traffic area, which was completely inappropriate, especially on a rainy New Year’s Eve. I refused, as anyone would.
During all of this, I was left standing with my guests, including a disabled person, visibly frustrated, having to explain a situation that was entirely the restaurant’s fault. It was embarrassing and uncomfortable, and it set a terrible tone for what should have been a planned celebration.
Only after 25 minutes of arguing did a table finally open up. It was not the table I reserved, but at that point, with heavy rain and no realistic option to go elsewhere, we took it simply to avoid further discomfort for my guests. The owner later instructed staff to apply a 20% discount, which does not undo the stress, delay, or lack of professionalism we experienced.
If a restaurant is willing to charge customers for not honoring a reservation, it should be held to the same standard. Confirmed reservations, especially on major holidays, should mean something. This was a complete breakdown in booking integrity, communication, and management accountability.
I strongly caution others to think twice about trusting a reservation here, especially on important occasions.

Glendale, CA - Great food, ambiance and service. Highly recommend the chicken and lamb chops. Juicy and flavorful. The yogurt and cucumber dip was also very good with the pita. I was hoping there would be more saffron in the rice. The rice was mostly white.

Nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it, tablecloth and proper setting. I love how they round tables for easy food sharing.

Plenty of parking in their private lot.

I liked it but just not sure if the price justified it. The food was delicious but I wouldn’t say it’s anything unique that I couldn’t get in other more affordable Persian restaurants. It was a very nice evening nonetheless with some friends that I haven’t seen for a while!

Yesterday I did order for takeout for six people 2 beef koobide ,2 shish kabob and 2 chicken and I did pay premium price for fresh food but what I’ve got instead was few hours old, warmed up,bone dry ,low quality foods it was awful.
The bottom line is if you walk to any corner street kabobery you gone have far superior experience than here don’t waste your time and money. Success must be earned not to be given.

First time dining here on this visit to Los Angeles. Everyone loved the hummus appetizer with bread and Sabzi (mint leaves and red onions sprinkled with sumac). The Soltani Kabab and lamb skewer were flavorful and delicious; however, the chicken Soltani was rather bland and flavorless. To the restaurant's credit, they gave us another order of Soltani Kabab because we didn't like the chicken Soltani. Our server Ali provided friendly but slow service throughout our meal. A very good dining experience overall; however, I would dine here again if in the area.

This place used to be amazing but unfortunately like many other Persian restaurants, they have slipped in quality and care severely and paying the premium it cost isn’t worth it anymore. Their rice literally taste like cardboard. Their kabob is inconsistent and the service is too. I hope they fix their ways but unfortunately idk if I’ll find out cause I won’t be going back.

Pardis never fails us for its quality of the food and service! It is hands down my favorite persian restaurant! We had a great time, it felt like home!
Bob is the sweetest server I've ever met in my life! It is like Pardis is his home, and he's hosting us!
The food is 20/10, service 20/10, the atmosphere is 20/10, managment 20/10, can't recommend enough!
