Iranian Restaurants near La Crescenta Montrose, CA

“Absolute gem. The pork shawarma combo was delicious; I loved the sauces. Fries were good, but nothing too special. A bit soggy.

When they ask if you want spicy, they're asking if you want jalapeno slices. Do it. It's a mild kick at best.

The couple running this is an older man & woman. They're so cute. Please support their business.“

“We got Kabob Torsh and the Chicken (roll?).
Both were super delicious. The chicken breast was the juiciest breast I’ve ever had. Loved the host and services. Very friendly and welcoming.
The portions were small for us, I recommend three portions for two.“

“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!“

“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.“

“⭐️ World Cafe. Fresh Chicken Sandwiches & Friendly Service

We ordered two sandwiches:
one chicken breast with cheese, and one chicken breast with mushrooms and cheese, plus one order of fries.
Total came to $42.

Everything was very tasty, fresh, and well prepared.
The owner who made the sandwiches was very kind and friendly, which made the experience even better.

The place itself is small and simple, with a small indoor counter and high chairs, and a few outdoor seats next to the laundromat.
The area was clean, calm and pleasant.

Overall a nice local spot with good food and great attitude.
Definitely recommended 👍“

“I visited this restaurant with my boyfriend great service, incredible atmosphere, polite staff, great food and drinks we will definitely come again.من قطعا این رستوران را توصیه می کنم“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We go for the trout and beef koobideh! Fantastic food and warm, friendly service.“

“Food, service, and vibe — all stemming from their kitchen — are absolutely spectacular! This hidden gem blew me away.

The space? Minimalist to the core. No decoration. And by that, I don’t mean bad decoration — I mean bare walls, a handful of tables, and chairs. It’s stripped down, unpretentious, and refreshingly authentic.

But who needs fancy décor when the food, service, and energy radiating from the kitchen are this incredible? Every bite, every interaction, every moment feels alive with passion.

This spot is a must-visit for anyone who values phenomenal flavors and authentic vibes over fancy aesthetics.“

“Forget about the rest. Try the best“

“Das Essen war reichlich und sehr lecker“

“Just left the place and a few bites in and wow, the seasoning and flavor on this Beef Lelu Sandwich are incredible. Tastes super fresh too. The bread is the right amount of fluffy and crunchy. First time here, but I’ll definitely be back.“

“Great food fast and great service“

“I just tried this restaurant for the first time using Uber eats. It is by far the best Persian food I've had in this state. We had started to give up after trying a bunch of them in glendale, in tujunga and other cities. Non of them are good. They are all Overpriced but not eatable.
My friend referred this place to me after she ate at the restaurant. The food was so perfect even though it was a take out. I cant imagine how much better it would be if we ate it there instead of getting it delivered. Thank you for making delicious food. Please dont change anything. Keep up your quality.
I am refering all my friends and family members to you. I started telling everyone I know to eat at your place or order from you.“

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

“Since I was born, kabob has been my favorite food, full stop. I’ve had kabob all over LA County. They charge you $38 at Raffi’s and Pardis for a kabob barg plate, give you the same amount of meat, and fill the plate with rice. Masis Kabobs’ food has no flavor; they don’t marinate their meat correctly and don’t cook their tomato enough, as it’s always mostly raw.
Harry over at Moon Mart Kabob gives you the best kabob, jigar, and abgoosht. If it’s you and a few friends, go over to Moon Mart Kabob, and you’ll realize why it’s so good, in my opinion. He charges you $20 for kabob barg, and he’s such a nice guy that you’ll be really happy eating there and giving him your business—not just because of his niceness, but also because he knows his stuff.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food is absolutely delicious and portions are good. We've been going here for over 10+ years. Quality of the food is top shelf!..A little expensive but they are very generous on their portions so it evens out. You won't be disappointed.“

“The beef and chicken kabobs were excellent. The variety appetizers were good but lacked flare in presentation and taste . Neither nor our guest are fans of their sweet rice.qay too sweet.I would get plain rice. I prefer pilaf Lebanese / Armenian style. Armenian coffee good desserts lacking. Very comfortable AC on a hot early evening“
