Iranian Restaurants near La Crescenta Montrose, CA

“Food here was excellent! This was my first time trying Armenian food and gosh it was super good ! Service was good and the time to wait for food was pretty quick as well! The food itself is absolutely delicious. The place itself is a little small but regardless very clean and subtle. Highly recommend this place !“

“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.“

“Lets see, where do I begin the SUPERLATIVE Impressions I got from this Sweet, Wholesome, Amazingly Mouthwatering Little Restaurant named "Mediterranean Grill". Now dont be fooled by its simple name. They have a lot of Soul and Heart: Charming, Quaint Location with plenty of Parking. Scrumptiously DELICIOUS, flavorful food; FRESH, Quality Ingredients. The Cleanliness of the whole Place is comforting, with a great flow of Feng Shui lol including the spotless Restroom. Coz you know Girls gotta go several times haha and Finally, the Piece the Resistance lol Management and Service. EDDIE the Manager slash Owner (Im assuming lol) is Such a Great and Pure Hearted Man of God. A Great Leader. With the most Positive, Welcoming, engaging, Kind Attitude to All the customers. I saw him delegating Tasks to his Employees and hes very well Respected. His ELEGANCE in professionalism and the attention to Detail is Exceptional. When I told Him how I wanted my Food in a certain way, he made it to grand PERFECTION. He even made sure to ask me "Did we get it Right, Miss? Do You like it?" To which I answered I LOVE IT. And I Love him, and I love this Place. And lemme tell You, as this is a very BOLD CLAIM to make, but Hey Im a Bold Woman. And I can say it with great CONFIDENCE, this is the best Mediterranean Place in all of Pasadena, perhaps even Los Angeles. Better than Raffi's in Glendale lol Yea I said it. Better than Zankous Chicken, and def Better than Cafe X20 . And trust me all these other places aforementioned are all Good! But "Mediterranean Grill" trumps All of them. You know the Saying "YOU COME for the FOOD, but you Come Back for the SERVICE" well it doesnt get any True-er and better than this wonderful, full of food Dopamine, Satisfying Food, and positive Aura place. Why? Coz Im DEF coming back. And if I cant make it, Im def ordering for Delivery.“

“Visit was Birthday treat from daughter, who ordered for us inside while I waited at one of the couple of tables outside. We ate outside (had doggie with us), so can't speak for Service or Atmosphere. I can say that my meal (Lamb, rice, salad, babaganoush, pitta) was hot and delicious. Would absolutely go again and recommend.Parking: Small parking lot, and next door to cafe on one side and Laundromat on other so parking could be an issue. Side streets had plenty of spaces.“

“Very surprised by the quality. Ordered the ground chicken kebab (koobideh) and the white meat chicken kebab. The flavor and quality was great. Getting chicken Koobideh to be flavorful is an uphill battle since it’s just ground chicken. This was beautifully seasoned, charred and juicy. Generous portions of beautifully cooked rice with salad and grilled vegetables and pita bread round it all out for a very competitive price in this inflation age. I wish there was an M Grill closer to where I live in Joshua Tree.“

“Pardis is a great Glendale option for Persian Food. The ambiance is inviting, the interior is modern clean, and the tables are spacious. The food and service are good, and the menu choices are plenty. The tadig and ghorme sabzi are a must. When you are craving Persian Food, Pardis is a good choice!“

“The service is off the charts. The gentleman at the counter must be getting paid in gold because he went above and beyond! I came in with my mom to grab a quick bite before heading home and this place did not disappoint. Although a bit hesitant as there weren't many people inside, the food was absolutely delicious. The chicken kabobs and beef koobideh plates were just fire. It's a bit off route for us, but you bet we'll be back! So good.“

“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.“

“The best and most authentic Mediterranean food I've ever tasted. The hummus was better than any other I have tried. The stew with crispy rice was so flavorful and unique, and all of the starting dishes came out within 5 minutes of ordering. The wait staff really helped each other out and it was very romantic to have the indoor patio. I would bring family here, friends, and anybody else that lives in the area should definitely try this place. Amazing food.“

“Order the beef flap and chicken thigh. This place knows how to cook it to perfection. Also thier rice is absolutely delicious. Imean, you might say it's just rice, but this place elevates it to superstar status. It's so buttery and fluffy. Perfection! Served with a simple grilled tomato and peppers and a slice of lavash bread to round it all off. The staff is friendly and the food is hot and ready pretty quickly. Plenty of easy parking in thier lot. Easy in and out.“

“This is a delicious option, in a cozy place, no crowd and great service by the owner.Food is so tasty, beef is really good (both: ground and tender beef), you have to try the cucumber yogurt and hummus.This place is an amazing choice in a town full of traditional restaurants with this type of food.Highly recommended!“

“Amazing sandwiches, very tiny store but they make the best sandwiches and sides, at this time we ordered onion rings and it was super yummy, crispy and melt in your mouth, if I could , the owner is super friendly, welcoming and helpful, and their food is like homemade, exactly the taste of motherland, definitely gonna go back and recommend to everyone!“

“Slash Pizza is my new go to. Just discovered this place and I absolutely love it! I get pizza here every Sunday night. My favorite is classic cheese or Italian sausage. The XL pizza is a great value for the price! The staff is always friendly with great service. If you're looking for a new pizza place like I was check out Slash Pizza.“

“Have to say this easily was one of the best Persian restaurants I've dined at. Nothing fancy, but the food speaks volumes to its quality! The Beef barg was butter soft and tasty. Their fresh baked bread is to die for. The staff were all smiles and very kind & and accommodating.“

“Stopped by for a quick lunch bite.Great customer service and also such a tasty meal ordered a lamb chops plate and a side of hummus. There was only 3 lamb chops, :( wished there was more since they were delicious however we'll come back for more lol We recommend this one ? the dish came with all the condiments“

“I live right around the corner and I crave this place everytime I pass by. The kabobs are fabulous. Perfectly cooked. The rice is perfect. Huge portions. Very recommend. I see a few bad reviews here and I feel like we ate at very different restaurants.“

“Kurosh was a great find, a small place but very good food and friendly service. We had the chicken breast grilled wrap and the ground beef wrap. Both items were served right from the grill , vegetables were fresh and the sauces they mix with the wrap were super good! Prices were reasonable. The flavor of the meats was really good. I highly recommend this place for a great, fresh, and healthy meal!“

“I recently dined at this fantastic Persian restaurant, Shamshiri, and was thoroughly impressed. The menu boasts a wide variety of authentic Persian dishes, including the flavorful Ahe-E-Must, Ash-E-Joe, and the renowned Ash-E-Reshteh. For vegetarian diners, there are plenty of delectable entrée options available that are sure to satisfy.Shamshiri is a welcoming family restaurant known for its generous portion sizes that are perfect for sharing. In addition to their regular menu, they offer daily specials and lunch specials, adding even more variety to the dining experience.The food itself was a delightful culinary experience, bursting with flavor in every bite. The entrees, which range from $16.99 to about $20.00 per plate on average, offer great value for the quality and portion sizes provided. The service was top-notch, with attentive and efficient staff ensuring a pleasant dining experience.The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, with ample space for guests to enjoy their meal al fresco. An added bonus is that they welcome pets in the outdoor seating area, making it a great spot for pet owners to dine with their furry companions.Overall, Shamshiri is a gem of a restaurant that excels in both its cuisine and service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy delicious Persian fare in a warm and inviting setting at a reasonable price point.Vegetarian options: They offer 6 to 8 vegetarian dishes on their menu.Parking: Plenty of parking behind the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: They do have a kid menu.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant does have a wheelchair wramp.“

“Food is always great, each and every option is good, I come here at least 2 or 3 times a month, sometimes more, but today the regular staff wasn't there and they were kind of confused ? , but maybe they're new, I saw just new faces only one or two regulars.Anyways you can't go wrong with the food here!“
