I believe this place has best Persian food in this side of Los Angeles.5* to food.Kobideh is better than most of sfv Persian restaurants.Lamb shank (comes with bhagali polo) tender and delicious.Only downer is the new hostess who is stoic and rude at times (you’ve been warned)Try saffron and rose cocktailsBut remember to ask price for double shot.

First time visiting this place, it's a moderneusqe Persian restaurant with a nice & inviting ambiance. Foods were delicious, and prices were reasonable, and people working there seemed friendly.

One of the best Persian restaurants we have ever visited. The employee was super friendly and explained to us what we could expect from the dishes. The price was rather higher but worth every cent. We didn't finish our portions, they tasted amazing, the meat was tender and very seasoned, the salad, the nuts...and the vegetables went together really well. We stayed in 1001 Nights for an evening :-)

We ordered our food to take out as always, but this time I was very disappointed. The fillet mignon kabab had a smell and was not properly marinated. The lamb shank tasted awful and was full of fat. The juicy BBQ chicken was supposed to be juicy but it was dry. Beef Koobideh was good and persian salad was good. Our order was over $400 and we had company at home and this order was the main meal. Very disappointed this time and it appears that the quality is going down. Perhaps when they cater the food out, the quality served is not important to the manager or the Chief, as no-one is there to directly complain or refuse the food. Sorry, I will try somewhere else.

Good Persian food. Delicious chicken kabob and beef khoobideh. But the tahdig was too dry and inedible. We had to throw it away. After several phone calls, they still got my catering order wrong. There was no eggplant in my eggplant stew. The food is expensive and at this price, you want it to be perfect. Disappointing.

Went with a group of family and friends on Christmas day. It was full of locals, who were a wee bit loud, but the food and the service was awesome. Delicious food, huge portions, rice was fluffy and tasty, chicken squewers were huge and the salad was fresh. A real winner .Parking: Free parking right behind the restaurant

We stop here for lunch. I ordered Mediterranean salad, which I really like. They brought it right away and salad looked like it was made couple of days ago and they added oil to freshen it. It didn’t have any onion, even it mentions onion in the menu, and as far as I know, it should contain onion. The waiter said that in this location they don’t put an onion in this salad. I didn’t know that recipe depends on the location. Anyway, this old soft salad looked and tasted awful, and I couldn’t eat it. I asked for another salad, but somehow they decided to charge us for both. The lentil soup was OK, not the best. The lamb shank tasted good. We are not going back.

Every time we go there, we are met with unmatched hospitality and the food is great too. Last night, Iman, Alborz and Moha were the highlights. Thank you all.
