Farsi Cafe opened in 2011 on Westwood Blvd, Los Angeles. It is one of our favorite Persian eateries. We just love everything about it. The prices are fair for the great food they serve.
The place is comfortable and not so huge. It is just perfect. It is always clean. I love the interior, it has some cool art and a very welcoming vibe to it.
The service is just perfect. They know the menu so well and can help those who need to learn about Persian food. The staff is kind and they will make sure you are happy. You are never rushed out.
Farsi Cafe Serves authentic Persian cuisine—kebabs, stews, and you can get great away dishes. They have the best rice.
All of their food is great. We love all the lamb and chicken items. Their kebabs are great, no matter what type you get. They have great salads and you must try their traditional bread. And get a stew. It is so comforting.
All of it is great. You will be happy.

Im a doordash driver, I don’t like when people say I need to wait 5 monre minutes and I get my order but later I get it after 10-15 minutes. So this is why 1 star, don’t lie pls:)

This is overall a very decent and nice Persian restaurant. The atmosphere seems clean/pretty. The Gheimeh Stew was very delicious. The portion size was very generous. The Kabob Dishes, however, are not always consistent. They could be dry and lack in that classic restaurant flavor one would expect.
The To-Go-Warm-At-Home options seem nicely packed and convenient, although I have never tried them myself. They look like a good option to take home should we choose to dine at the restaurant next time.
The staff was okay for the most part with the exception of a couple of ladies. It would be a much better and pleasant experience if they smiled more and did not come across as unfriendly. Also, when the guests are done dining, don't stand on top of their heads when it is time to pay and make a selection for a tip amount. One of the women who was assigned to our table (glasses, short, very bleached hair) made it extremely uncomfortable by not knowing basic etiquette and allowing us to pay for the table in a more calm and comfortable manner. She stood there the whole time and rushed the payment process. Also, when asking a question about the bill, she had a really bad attitude and turned really mean. Did not like that one bit.
All in all, the rest of the dining experience was not too bad and we will return again provided their staff is friendlier and has better etiquette/manners when it is time to pay for the table.

Farsi Cafe is one of the more authentic Persian restaurants in Westwood, offering traditional dishes that are not always easy to find in LA. On this visit, the order was Abgoosht (Dizi), a classic slow-cooked Persian stew that’s both hearty and comforting.
The dish came out beautifully presented in the traditional style. The broth (the first part of Abgoosht) was rich and flavorful, with deep notes of tomato, lamb, and spices. Fresh bread was served alongside, perfect for tearing into pieces and soaking in the broth—a delicious and nostalgic experience for anyone familiar with this dish.
The second part—the mashed ingredients of beef, beans, potato, and tomato—was served separately, accompanied by fresh herbs and torshi (pickled vegetables). The flavors were spot on, with the slow cooking allowing everything to blend into a hearty, satisfying mixture. The portion size was generous, easily filling, and ideal for someone craving a traditional Persian meal.
The restaurant itself has a modern yet relaxed ambiance, with warm lighting and a clean, inviting setup. Service was polite and attentive, with staff checking in to explain the traditional way to enjoy Abgoosht, which was a nice touch.
Overall, Farsi Cafe delivers an authentic taste of Persian home-style cooking. If you’re looking to try something beyond the usual kabobs, Abgoosht is highly recommended—it’s a dish that captures the heart of Persian cuisine and is done very well here.

I have been there couple of times before food was great and excellent but after about 8 month we went there and new faces and food was not that great. Kobideh tasted so diffrent . Chicken Cornish was burnt and we were on the rush we finished and left not really happy with the food. I dont think I would go back there again.

Their chicken barg is so delicious, the juiciest chicken bursting with flavor! The Kobideh..,, outstanding! The hummus is phenomenal, i will lick the plate clean if no one is looking🤣. You can taste the freshness and love they put into it.

Kobideh kabab absolutely horrible, definitely not Iranian authentic kobideh. If you’re Iranian you don’t want to go there. These guys maybe can sell these kababs to non Iranian customers and they wouldn’t taste the difference. Very very bad experience, my first and last time to go to Farsi cafe.
