Iranian Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“This place is excellent! One of the best Persian restaurants in Los Angeles ! Wow! I was blown away by the great food. Service and decor was amazing as well.“

“One of my favorite spots in LA!

I’m always craving their mazeh plate (especially in the sweltering summer, it’s so refreshing and tasty). I swear their smashed olives made the world stop the first time I tried them. Im OBSESSED with their torshi! I legit think about it several times a week.

Honestly everything is good- chicken, potatoes, sandwiches. Barbari bread is out of this world and I always get a few extra slices.

Great beverages too- albaloo spritz and Al’s Palmer are yummy and refreshing.

They have several desserts I’ve been meaning to try but the ferni and sholezard are too good I can’t not order them lol.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming and the perfect casual spot to catch up with friends.“

“When I first found out I could get my favorite Persian soup — the dreamy herby barley packed ASH-E-JO — delivered from Little Tehran up to my place in hills via DOORDASH, I was excited. The soup was everything I hoped for. I just ordered it again tonight. Hooray for LAZIZ GRILL and @doordash“

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

“authentic food, not sure if they still are making pizzas theirs is the best“

“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!!“

“If you’re looking for a place with good food, great service & it’s owned by actual humans who operate it every day.

Definitely check this place out, the food is fantastic, portions are very generous & flavor is on point!

Thank you for such a lovely meal“

“excellent food, affordable menu“

“Food this good could only be made with a mother's love! Sogol's plate is a great business run by great women and I would definitely recommend their to-go orders for busy students as the ordering and pick-up process were super easy. I ordered the Kotlet sandwich and it was super flavorful. You will not be disappointed and the portions were quite filling. Can't wait to order more amazing meals in the future!“

“rica comida , se las recomiendo“

“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!“

“Super delicious food/desserts, fast service, very friendly staff, clean and one of the few places that’s open till late night.“

“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.“

“the food at this place is exquisite, fresh tasty and hot, the presentation of the plate is faboluse, serve on their luxury dinnerware and silverware, the food being served at this place is so much advance in so many aspects compare to high end restaurants on mediterranean cuisine. unfortunately the service is not welcoming and friendly to the exeptiong of a nice gentleman that assited us the other day. but I will not stop comming because the food is incredible. thank you.“

“I'm at a loss for words, but I'll try my best. Food? Amazing! Perfect amount of seasoning and the portions are huge! And this is coming from a big dude. For the appetizers, my favorites were the Kashk E'bademjan (Eggplant Delight), Potato Salad, and the Hummus! They have more selections, but this is what I was able to try. I hear all are great! For the Entrees, ALL OF THEIR KABOBS ARE FIRE (MMM MMMM YUMMY). I had a sample of most them and in the islands, we would say "broke da mouf kine", which translates to, the food is *beep beep* GOOD! If you've never had Persian Food, or you love it, this is the restaurant for you! Drinks? I love Korean Soju and Cass beer, so yeah, +10 points from me. They do carry various Wines and Beers though...and of course your choice of Soda Pop. Atmosphere? It' gives you a Kewl Kids Vibe; a classy place where you can be yourself with family and friends and just enjoy each others company. You have your choice of Indoor and Outdoor dinning which is amazing. There's also a private room upstairs that can hold 20 people for a meal and karaoke (there is a fee to reserve, but very much worth it). Staff? We were greeted at the door as if we were coming home. Pasha and his staff go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met. Their suggestions on meal and drink pairings are spot on. I can't thank Pasha and the crew for making our group outing a success. Overall? I'll be going back and I hope that you add this restaurant to your list of 'go to' places to dine at. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. (Unless your attitude stinks or you're not willing to try new food ‍) Pasha again, thank you so much for the hospitality. I already told Fatemeh that I'll be coming back again. سپاسگزارم“

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

“Came in for a quick wrap to go and blown away by the outstanding customer service. The employee who was the most helpful was Daphne. She walked my son and I through the items we were interested in. Our overall purchase was based on her description and we were not let down. Ended up with a chicken Luleh wrap with hummus and the chicken combo. Both were great choices!! We will definitely be back!!“

“I tried the beef shawarma plate here for lunch and it was delicious. Some places the flavor shifts are you dive into the plate, but this plate had a very consistent and satisfying taste. The staff is busy. The place has a very busy vibe to it with just a few people here.“

“I had a delightful Iranian breakfast at Cafe de Alley in Los Angeles. The owner is a very friendly gentleman who made my experience truly special. The food was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my visit. I highly recommend this cafe and will definitely be returning!“

“Hello: With my apology to the owner and staff of Darya Restaurant in Santa Monica I wrote a bad review about 12 days ago. It was my misunderstanding to write a bad review. In fact, It is a good restaurant (5 Star) with excellent, well made, good ambiance, and delicious food and a vast array of dishes on the menu. I must say that their portions are generous in comparison to prices. I ask people to give them a try at least once and see for themselves. I think they are going to be hooked. All branches are good and the Orange county branch has a great ambiance! Thank you Ms. Darya and your staff for your efforts. I will see you again, indeed. Wish you all the best to come!

“I ordered sushi from Red Fish Kitchen for my birthday, and it was absolutely amazing! Everything was incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and tasted delicious. The quality of the fish was outstanding, and every roll was full of flavor. It made my birthday meal feel extra special. I’ll definitely be ordering from here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality sushi!“

“This is a quick stop to get some Mediterranean food large portions child friendly I do recommend“

“The owner is a very nice guy and the staff are very friendly and amazing. Really good kebabs and Persian food. The hummus is super delicious. I would highly recommend giving this place a try. The only thing I wish is that they would sell alcohol.“

“The best koobideh I have ever tried!! Delicious food with an amazing price.“

“It’s a beautiful place to enjoy Masis kabob good food,and good customers service kind and friendly keep up an good a“

“I love the kabab kobideh with sangak and reyhon. Kabab was juice and we enjoyed it. Just I leave 65 miles away. I wish I close by so I can go every weekend. How lucky the people leaving close by🥰“

“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.“

“Today I visited another Persian restaurant in a different city, and naturally I compared it to yours. It reminded me that your restaurant truly deserves a second review.

I can’t wait to return to Los Angeles and dine at your restaurant again. Your food, quality, and hospitality are truly unforgettable.“

“Es muy rica la comida, la recomiendo mucho“

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

“The food is great, we order it often! But the delivery guys ALWAYS REFUSES to come bring our food to our office. Why are we tipping for delivery to not be done properly? It’s so annoying I’ve called the restaurant to bring it up but he literally always makes us go downstairs.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Kolah Farangi! The service was absolutely amazing. The waiters were constantly checking in on us, making sure we were happy, comfortable, and had everything we needed. You could truly feel that they cared about making our experience special.

And of course, the food was absolutely fantastic—fresh, tasty, delicious, and generously portioned! We even had plenty of leftovers to take home, which is always a wonderful bonus. 😋

The owner, Robert, is incredibly personable, welcoming, and accommodating. I had my friend’s surprise party here, and Robert went above and beyond to make everything easy and enjoyable for us. I truly appreciated his kindness and flexibility.

The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portions. And the ambience is wonderful! There’s such a warm, inviting atmosphere with a beautiful Persian-home feeling that makes you feel comfortable and welcomed from the moment you walk in.

Overall, I highly recommend Kolah Farangi for the delicious food, wonderful service, welcoming atmosphere, and especially the personal care they put into making their guests feel at home. I can’t wait to come back! ❤“
