“Here’s an example of a glowing review for Vala Kitchen:

Five Stars! ?????
Vala Kitchen is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is warm, modern, and inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home.

The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a perfect balance of fresh, flavorful, and innovative dishes. I was blown away by the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in presentation. Every bite was an explosion of flavor!

Whether you’re in for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, Vala Kitchen exceeds expectations. I can’t recommend this place enough and will absolutely be returning soon“

“The hummus tree was incredible. Some of the best how much I’ve ever had and that says a lot congratulations.“

“Great staff. Great food. Really cozy place to eat. Staff is very polite and take time to make you feel at home here. It's a small dining room but being my second visit here with a group of 8 or more each time we never had any issues.“

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

“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!“

“the absolute best in the valley!! this food tastes like home! going to bring my kindred spirit to try your amazing food, ready @TiecTocc? God bless all! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“My favorite Lebanese place in the valley. Hands down!“

“I love the food is my favorite restaurant“

“Have you ever entered a business and immediately feel like you just walked into your home where family is waiting to greet you? That was the very feeling I had when I stopped by the NoHo Cafe today. I knew the food was good as I used the delivery service before. Today I decided to visit the Cafe and I promise I’ll continue going frequently. The food is delicious but what won me over was the welcome and love you experience when you walk in the door. The staff is amazing... the Cafe has a very “welcome home” atmosphere. The complimentary cup of soup is AWESOME. I sat at a corner table allowing me to do what I love...watch people. As I enjoyed my delicious first meal of 2020 I watched as every person who entered was treated with care and joy. Just like being home the staff will keep checking to see if the food is ok and if you need anything. The NoHo Cafe is a place I recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy a good meal and to experience a “welcome home” feeling. Thank you NoHo Cafe for starting my 2020 with a reminder of the importance of kindness.“

“My aunt, daughter, and I popped into this place for lunch on our way home. The food was delicious with a good portion size. My daughter and I shared the chicken and beef combo plate and still had quite a bit to take home with us. Food has really good flavor and the owner was so nice. I’m definitely saving this place for the next time I’m driving through the area.“

“Exceptional bakery. Beautiful packaging for an elegant gift“

“All……. Everything!!!!!!!!“

“The Lule kabob is very juicy and tender! Full of flavor! Very friendly staff, ready to take your order. Catering services are excellent too. They are closed Sundays, but they may cater food for special events on Sundays is you ask!“

“I recently visited Vanak restaurant, and it was a pleasant experience. The place is cozy, with a relaxed atmosphere perfect for a casual meal. The staff was very friendly and quick to take our orders.

My son ordered Joojeh Kabsb, which was juicy and flavorful, served with a side of rice. I ordered Abgoosht, and I loved how fresh and well-seasoned it was. It reminded me my childhood traditional abgoosht places in Tehran.

The prices were reasonable, and the portions were just right. Overall, Vanak is a great spot for a quick and tasty meal. I’ll definitely be back.“

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

“This restaurant deserves 5 stars. We've already tried various dishes with lamb or kebab skewers, as well as soup and wraps. The food is simply incredible. Everything is freshly prepared, and the meat is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The portions are a good size and the price is fair. All in all, the food is simply mouth-watering.

“I got catering for a 200 person wedding. We got numerous of their Persian menu items and the tray passed. All of our guests loved it and thought it was the best Persian food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Their service and presentation was flawless. We had zero regrets utilizing them and for any other function we will definitely hire them again“

“my first time here, very friendly staff, professional, clean and very tasty food . merc yade tehran rp zende kardin vasam“

“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.“

“Technically a small grocery store with kitchen. Their meat samosas are to-die for. They have goat, beef, chicken, or potato. They also have what we would call baked empanadas and stuffed puff pastry as well, but our family craves the samosas. Kitchen is on-site and also offers typical Northern-India / Pakistani fare that is mostly ordered "to go" and by the "from there" people, so it must be authentic and region-specific. Chutney for sure is - very different from Anarbagh and very spicy hot-and-sour for the average American taste, so be warned. Everything except samosas/empanadas/pastry is cooked to order - no hot lamps there.“

“I had one of the best lunches of my life at Tehran Restaurant in LA—an experience I'll never forget! The food was absolutely exceptional, perfectly prepared and full of authentic flavors. Ms. Simin, the lovely owner, made me feel like a VIP with her warm and attentive service. I truly loved every moment and can't wait to visit again soon. Thank you for such a memorable dining experience!“

“Restaurant is a proud member of the West Valley Warner Center, Chamber of Commerce. It’s a go to Place for monthly mixers event or just to have lunch or dinner with a friend lots of room there’s a stage great food and service. Please let them know Mercy sent you.“

“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🥰“

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