“I'm still thinking about the food we had here. And that was over a week ago! My son is five and he dove into everything, I was surprised. He kept askig for more. Every aspect of our meal was perfect. The mint tea. The meat and hummus. I wish I lived closer, I'd be there at least once a week if I did.“
“I contacted Misah regarding catering for my birthday party for 30 people. From the very start, Misah and his staff were polite, professional, and friendly. My wife took me to the restaurant for lunch to sample the food a couple of days before the party. Misah was very nice in person as well. The food was freshly prepared and very delicious. All the sides were good as well; the lentil soup, cucumber yogurt, and hummus. He offered us free desserts to sample. Their homemade baklava is so good. When they prepare your catering order, they cook the kabob close to your pickup time so that it is hot and fresh when you get home. They use very good quality containers for transporting the food. Our party guests loved the food so much that we barely had any leftovers for the next day. We will definitely eat at Chelo in the future. It is a small hidden gem in Van Nuys.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant. The warm and clean ambiance provided a welcoming atmosphere, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a delicious breakfast. The pricing was affordable and reasonable, offering good value for the quality of the food and service. The owner was not only polite but also added a personal touch to the dining experience. The dishes were impeccably clean, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to hygiene. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone seeking a delightful and satisfying breakfast.Try Kalle Pacheh ?“
“I had heard about Bread Bros. While back and decided to stop by yesterday! They are specialized in making best Persian bread and pastries! I bought BARBARI (بربری) bread (with Saffron) which I had never had before and it's beyond words! They have a special gift for first time buyers so I picked up roulette (رولت) with chocolate inside that I ate it all right away! The owner Mohsen is very kind and courteous and I highly recommend this place!“

“I've driven past this cafe so many times and didn't even realize that there was a hidden gem there! Came in for lunch and was greeted by a sweet woman who took my order. It's definitely a mom and pops joint so you'll feel right at home immediately. I ordered the chicken shawarma with salad and the chicken didn't disappoint! It was tender and flavorful, just what I needed to satisfy my appetite. I do have to say that it's a small spot so there is no restrooms available for customers but if you're getting your car washed, you can use the one there and walk over.“
“I definitely like it here and will return for sure however there are notes based on the two times I've tried the food here:The little fried cakey desserts they have up on the front are very good. Love those.Their sandwiches are one of the better ones I've had from cafés on foothill. They come in soft sandwich baguettes and they're a bit toasted.First time I got:Persian Makhloot Pizza 8/10Hot dog 10/10Cheesy chips 9/10FriesTotalling $66Second time I got:Persian Makhloot 7/10Beef shawarma sandwich 9/10House salad 8/10FriesAnd a SpriteTotalling $63So their pizza is DELICIOUS but I believe they still haven't figured out their oven's temperature because last time the pizza and cheesy chips were overcooked (dried brown mozzarella) and second time I asked them to not let it crisp to that point and they were kind enough to do that but then the center of the crust ended up being uncooked and the bottom of it was stuck to the paper underneath so we ended up having to peel paper pieces from the slices before eating them which was alright but not fun.I have half of it left over so ill warm it up and hopefully it'll fully cook.Fries were unsalted/unseasoned. Had to add that myself.The salad was pretty fresh and a good portion. I could not finish it all in one setting. It did lack flavor and the dressing is just Thousand Island. I added things to it and it turned out amazing. I think something as simple as adding parsley or sprinkling dried oregano on it will go a long wayI really hope they figure out the pizza situation because 1- it's not cheap food so for the price it should be cooked properly and 2- it very much has potential to be perfect.“
“This review is definitely way over due!!!The consistency in the food is just stellar!Every time I come (4th time ) The food is fresh and super tasty .The boneless chicken is so fresh and cooked to perfectionNot overly dry but just the perfect juicy tenderness!!The rice is so yummy too.. But my fav is the hummus by far!!Also the staff is always super friendly and nice!!“
“The food is very delicious- we order from here on UberEats quite often! Their portions are generous too. My only suggestion, I wish the stews were less greasy. We could order more often then ;) I see my cholesterol levels raise if I were to eat such level of grease and oil more often.“

“Update 3/13/23 - I have ordered from them many times since my last order and everything has been consistently fresh and delicious. No mistakes. The koobideh was amazing today and the halim is great too. Updating my review to 5 stars.Update 12/29/22 - this is the 2nd time in a row they did not provide an item I ordered and paid for on a postmates order. I changed my review from 3 stars to 1. There is no point in having good food if you don’t provide the items your customers order. Now I have ghorme sabzi with no rice :(Their food is usually good, but today they did not give me the halim I ordered on postmates :( I was looking forward to trying it since not many Persian restaurants serve it. Bummer.“
“Our family is a regular customer of Asian Spot for more than 20 years. We're getting all our groceries and halal meat from the year 2002 from Asian Spot. Br. Mahmood, his wife, son and all other employees are wonderful and very caring. All of their products are high quality and we are very happy customers. Thank you Asian Spot for your kind service to us.“
“The food was delicious. However the menu prices are incorrect. They did apologized, I thank them for that. The amount of rice was ridiculous small compared to various other Persian restaurants and barely beef in the ghormeh sapsi. Howeverwe do understand everything is more expensive and probably they need to cut expenses. Thank you.“
“My go-to for takeout, but there is an inviting dine-in area with enough space for a few tables. The customer service is consistently swift; my phone orders are ready upon my arrival. The pricing is appropriate, offering generous portions. My usual half-and-half combo (chicken and beef) includes rice, hummus, pita bread, and a refreshing salad. Although I tend to forget to swap the salad for fries, another diner had them on their plate and they looked so yummy. Every element is expertly seasoned, resulting in consistency.“

“First time ordering at the Hub, was greeted with a sweet, enthusiastic young lady who offered to help me since I'd never been before. The ordering process was easy and I waited about 20 min. I ordered the chicken barq plate and it was delicious. Chicken was flavorful, tender and juicy. Rice was also excellent! Definitely will be back, thank you!“
“Excellent service, huge portions, and great taste. Seriously guys, when they bring you a plate of rice, it's enough for 4 people! The chicken was a bit dry, but very tasty and there was plenty of sumac and hot sauce. Yes hot sauce. A huge bottle on every table. A persian restaurant first for me, and very appreciated. Masoumeh was fantastic and took excellent care of us. They do a huge take out business in the first room and set down in the second. We would definitely visit again.“
“I loved the atmosphere, and the service was great, liked the entertainment.But the food was terrible….I called the manager the next day and started with , how great the service was, liked the entertainment but when I told her that the food wasn’t good she got defensive and said I was the only person who didn’t liked the food, we were party of 4 and we ordered different dishes but none of us liked our choices…I didn’t wanted to write a review, that’s why I called first … I believe constructive criticism makes a difference but she wasn’t interested .She apologized though but I didn’t wanted an apology just to give the my honest opinion!“
“Ordered family style kabobs and rice with various side dishes, and everything was great! Tender and juicy meats! Plenty of rice to share! Yogurt with cucumber, yogurt with shallot and shirazi salad are terrific, plus Persian flat bread for dipping. I would definitely go back.Parking: Giant shopping center parkingKid-friendliness: Food for all agesWheelchair accessibility: Easy access“
“The place looks great. The food is absolutely good. The Kabob plates are amazing and are perfect in every aspect. All the food is great.

There are no stairs to the restaurant.“

“3/17/2024 This Persian restaurant has been in business for 17 years.1) The appetizer HUMMUS is so fresh, a 5 star dish; 2) FESENJAN STEW is 5 star, before taking my first bite of FESENJAN STEW (Sauteed ground walnut, cooked in pomegranate sauce and served with steamed basmati rice), I am not sure it will fit my taste. Right after my tasting, a nonstop eating with steamed basmati rice took place.; 3) BAKLAVA (Pastry made with layers of phyllo dough filled with chopped walnut and pistachio and cream) and tea are 5 star; 4) A signature dish, GHORMEH SABZI STEW, is okay.The restaurant is also specializing for catering. I really like a fragrant smell in its clean bathroom.“
“I wanted to give this family owned restaurant a positive feedback! Farideh the owner of this business has succeeded in the Persian food industry 100% I cannot even explain how tasty their food is. I tried their chicken kabob sandwich and I was so amazed of how tasty my meal was. Denj reminds me of home away from home! Those whom have tried Persian food in Iran will definitely understand what I mean by that :D If you are a Persian food lover I recommend this place a million times!“
