“This might be a new spot for us before we head to LAX for flights!!
Stopped here before flying out for dinner and the food was amazing. We got the beef stew with black lime and a chicken shawarma dish. Both so flavorful and generous portions! Their rice is amazing!! We also got their house drinks, the mint cooler and orange blossom sekanjebin. Very aromatic and refreshing. It was nice to have a good meal on the flight for a snack. Very cute and homey ambiance and cute branding. They have cool totes I dunno if they sell them but the stickers they have on the cups would be great merch!!
I would definitely recommend this place!!“

“An absolutely wonderful dining experience at Orla by Michael Mina! Everything was exceptional, from the food and presentation to the service and overall atmosphere.

We had the lamb chops and the snapper, and both were outstanding… beautifully prepared and full of flavor. And whatever you do, save room for dessert! The Baklava Sundae was absolutely amazing and the perfect way to cap off the meal.

Orla is definitely worth a visit, and I highly recommend it!“

“I love this place and come constantly. The food and service are fabulous. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so beautiful. I really wanted to give five stars, but I just wish the owner would fix the A/C. I feel really bad that the staff have to work in such hot temperatures in the summer, especially the gentleman working the grill. Please fix it for them and I'll be happy to leave another 5-star review :)“

“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’ve been coming to Z Garden for years and it never disappoints. The falafel is absolutely delicious—crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and seriously mouthwatering. The chicken shawarma plates are just as good: savory, flavorful, and always satisfying. Great Mediterranean food, generous plates, and the kind of neighborhood spot I’m always happy to come back to.“

“Food was delicious , menu had so much to choose from“

“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.“

“My Favorite L.A. restaurant by all means. I need to feel the love one puts into their food. And this is the place I feel it the most. Delish, home-style, served with a smile in a kind, friendly way. The one place that I walk into and feels like home. Thank you for you guys“

“The Rotisserie chicken was amazing!! I give it a 10! The spicy coleslaw was really good as well! Glad we decided to order for dinner. Yum! 🙂“

“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 love this place! They are new and hit just the bar spot this area has been needing.“

“Me and my friends wanted to dance and celebrating my friend's birthday. It was an amazing night. The food and service and ambiance was great. Loved the DJ. Loved the Persian music and I wished there was more Persian music. The singer was amazing too. Sooo many birthdays was celebrating there and the way they bring out the candles and the SIGN for birthdays was so unique. I would Go back there again.“

“The lamb chops taste great. The salad and roasted tomato and pepper are all good. I really like the food. Yummy, healthy and balanced. I’m just wondering why I can’t substitute rice with Greek salad for the plate since it’s doable in the app.“

“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 kebab shop has been my long time favorite! I found this place in San Diego and I’m so glad that they have a branch here in Torrance.

I always order the kebab fries and my husband always orders the shawarma wrap.

Their garlic sauce is one of the best I’ve ever tried and it always has me coming back! They have other sauces as well and it pairs so great with anything you order here.

The meat is flavorful, the vegetables are so fresh and their customer service is the best.
You get quick but quality food and nothing beats that especially if you’re short on time.

Check this place out if you’re in the area!“

“My kids and I love this place“

“Combination of new management and new ownership makes it very well and highly recommended. Because of my excellent experience of the Brentwood location, just wanted to see, how is the new location. I'm glad, i had a chance to get another excellent experience one more time here in Beverly ����“

“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.“

“The market is a very pleasant place to be on a Saturday the fruit corner is very good and I buy my best Fuji apples there and best tangerines and peaches. I enjoy the experience a lot. There is a place for kids to run and play and comfortable tables to have a delicious meal bought at the market. I recommend the coffee there too and the bread. Enjoy the experience.“

“Delicious food and quite healthy too…“

“Love the food, service and atmosphere“

“Been coming here for years. Meat always cook to perfection. The chicken Kabob with Jakec and taboule is my usual.“

“the dessert especially the tiramisu can't stop thinking about it ... for 7.99 its already good for 2 person“

“First time eating here. Probably the best falafel I've ever had! Servers are friendly and let you know food will take a bit of time. But it's fresh and carefully prepared so that makes sense! I eat a lot of falafel and this might be the best I've had. Salad is fresh, hummus is creamy, a delicious lunch!“
