It’s by far one of our favorite restaurants in the city and in California! Family owned, warm atmosphere, and friendly staff delivering amazing Persian food. We have been to many restaurants and have experienced really great Persian cruises and I have to stay Lavash is on the top of our list, even internationally! Highly recommend!

Doesn’t feel like authentic Persian place since the crew are all non-Persian and even the design has nothing to do with Persian tradition but a painting of Manghal with Kabab’s grilled on top of it.

Barg was really good if you add a bit of salt (8.5/10)
Koobideh was 7/10 since the proportion of beef was more than it should’ve been.

great atmosphere, super friendly staff. The food is decent. But not the greatest koobide it’s not professionally hand crafted as it should. It tastes pretty good tho. The 3 star is because of the price to portion ratio. the portion size compared to price is not great value. but 16 bucks for tahdig is just ridiculous.
