Absolutely lucked out on my last business trip to Westlake Village finding Lava Kitchen. The staff was absolutely amazing and the food authentic and delicious. Beautiful and intimate dining space. Portions were fantastic. Highly recommend the sultani with filet and ground beef. Easily enough to feed 2. Look forward to returning on my next trip back.

Great Persian cuisine in the Westlake Village area, and if not the best in the area. The food, service, and atmosphere were all amazing. Pretty much every dish here is delicious. I highly recommend the cherry rice here.

A must-visit! Lava Kitchen is a true gem. The food is absolutely delicious, and you can taste the care and passion in every dish. The stews are particularly incredible rich and flavorful. I had the chicken pomegranate walnut stew, and it was a revelation. It's clear they use fresh ingredients and authentic recipes. Beyond the amazing food, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. This is a place where you'll leave feeling completely satisfied and already planning your next visit. Highly recommend!

I came here with my family to celebrate a birthday on 6/4/25. The restaurant is a little on the smaller side, about a 21 person capacity, but it is very nicely decorated and you are not close to other diners. The acoustics were also very nice, it was easy to hear the rest of my party in a normal conversational volume. I would recommend making a reservation if you are going there with a group.

But enough about that, on to the important stuff.

The waitress was so attentive, super nice, and a joy to be around. She took great care of us and helped out with some special dietary needs.

There were three of us there, two of us split the hummus while the third got the Mediterranean salad. The hummus was delicious, but the salad stole the show! I wish I had gotten a picture of it. Finely chopped veggies in a cucumber bowl. It's a thing of beauty.

For our mains we each got a Kabob plate. We had the Chicken Kabob with cubed chicken, the house special the flattened chicken kabob, and the steak kabob. We each enjoyed our meal very much. I loved the seasoning on mine, the saffron rice was fantastic and the grilled tomato was delicious. We each cleaned our plate.

We were very happy with the portion size, the taste, and the value. It was our first time there and we'll be back for sure. I'm looking forward to trying out their lunch specials.

Absolutely delicious! Our whole family loved everything. The salmon, chicken, and beef were all really well marinated, juicy, and flavorful. The eggplant dip is also a must!
