“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“Incredible food and service. Our waiters name was Christian; he was personable, kind, and hospitable. The food was mouthwatering and had such unique flavors. HUGE portions and definitely comfort food as they state. Will definitely be returning to check out the new menu each month.“

“Our first time and we will definitely go back!!“

“Great Lebanese taco joint. Vegetarian options. Generous portions. Very satisfying.“

“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.“

“Service was great, food selections were many, food portions was huge, food quality amazing! Outdoor seating arrangements was proper, huge screen playing selective live music songs was enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“Everything was delish!! No doubts, all of it was fabulous!!“

“Great food!

I got the schnitzel plate and it was a very generous portion (more on the pricey side but you do get a lot). I picked my side and got the rice, that was good. You also get a pita.
I really like the meat, the hummus was great. Overall, it was great.

We also got some fries and the mushrooms. The fries unfortunately were a bit soggy but that’s to be expected when ordering - if you don’t eat right away - but still tasty.
The mushrooms - there could be mixed feelings but I love seasoned mushrooms and they had a great one! Very interesting, but I really liked it!“

“My son is in love with your minestrone soup.. Your pizza..and your tiramisu!!“

“Shaherzad is a standout spot in the heart of Westwood's Persian Square -- authentic, flavorful, and always welcoming. The food is consistently excellent, from their juicy kabobs and aromatic stews to the freshly baked bread that comes straight from the oven. You can truly taste the care and tradition in every bite.

The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive servers who make you feel like part of the family. The location is ideal -- right by UCLA and surrounded by the rich culture of Persian Square.

One of the highlights: live Persian music with a singer every Saturday night! It's a beautiful way to enjoy the culture while dining, but make sure to book a reservation in advance, as it tends to fill up quickly.

If you're looking for an unforgettable Persian dining experience in LA, Shaherzad should be at the top of your list.“

“Always a good interaction when coming to Z Falafel. The cooks are such nice guys and always so helpful when I may ask about one of their many options on the menu. I always try to switch up my plate when I come here and not once have I had a disappointing meal from this location. Keep going hard!“

“delicious food in a beautiful setting.“

“Great and Tasty Halal Food in town.“

“Super Deli! 100% recomendado 😋“

“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.“

“Great Chicken 🐔 Kabob plate.“

“This is a wonderful halal Lebanese restaurant in LA, and I highly recommend it. We ordered many dishes, and they were all delicious. The only reason I didn't give it a five-star rating was the twenty-minute wait for a table despite there being many available.“

“Best spot in downtown. Family owned business, great service literally made it feel like I was visiting a family member, eating a home cooked meal. Food was hands down the best Mediterranean food I've ever had, coming from an Armenian that eats this stuff at least twice a week. A must try Mediterranean spot in downtown LA.“

“This used to be the falafel king in Westwood! We were so bummed out when they went out of business. We were going there for decades and missed those chips that they served so now it’s called the falafel queen and one of the employees opened it up and he had all the recipes so it’s worth the drive for sure.“

“A++++++++++++++++++++++++“

“This is the best Mediterranean/Lebanese food in LA. I have not tried a better falafel anywhere in the world yet... Definitely 10 stars!!“

“Clean, fresh and flavorful food - Cornish hen kabob plate and tabouli salad- was quite a nice surprise and delightful experience nestled in the heart of the Garment district.“

“As a Persian American, I am so glad I found this place. It offers something I’ve been wishing for my whole life, modernized Persian food. Traditional is unbeatable, but I’ve always wondered what it would be like if people took those recipes and updated them. Azizam offers that. I came specially for the kuku sandwich and it was excellent, simple and very fresh. Same with the shallot yoghurt and Kipteh. We also tried the secanjaben spritz which if you like those flavors you will love. I really love this whole concept and would love to see more dishes! The ambience is friendly and warm. Highly recommend.“

“The “Fried Chicken Shawarma” sandwich was one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever tasted. It delivered on flavor and the chicken was so crispy. The spicy tahini and charmoula add such great notes that distinguishes it from your ordinary chicken sandwich. This is not your ordinary chicken sandwich.. This one is special.!!!!
Kudos to Chris for your wonderful service and hospitality…“

“This is a hidden gem. The food is good, fresh and healthy. I don't often review but I always get the combo dinner plate here at least every two weeks. Their chicken and beef are tender and just the perfect blend, with the garlic, of course. I highly recommend. See you guys soon!“
