What People Are Saying About Puran's Restaurant
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Puran's is relatively unknown, and its loyal customers want to keep it hush-hush to sustain the easygoing elegance. Tables spill out onto the sidewalk, lending the candlelit space an airy, Parisian feel. The menu sweeps the globe, melding flavors from Greece, Italy, Mexico and beyond. The Firecracker appetizer's pepper-cream sauce ignites shrimp served with baguette slices. Seasoning is manipulated in peppercorn steak and herb-grilled chicken entrees. Desserts include tiramisu and berry tarts.

My favorite neighborhood restaurant
by Kate202
I'm devastated. Another victim of the economy. Puran's had two locations. One on La Brea and the other on Hillhurst in Los Feliz. The La Brea location is in my neighborhood and one of my favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, it just CLOSED.
I still strongly recommend going to Hillhurst. They have terrific food. I'm particularly partial to the dover sole special, which they will make anytime -- even if it's not listed that day. Oh and for a city where the bread at restaurants is not worth eating 90% of the time -- their bread and dip is fabulous.
- Pros: great organic food

A favorite
by brelash
Great, fresh food, friendly service. We always bring our own wine for a minimal corkage fee. I've never had a bad dish, but especially like the warm goat cheese salad and the spicy penne.
- Pros: Food, service, ambience
- Cons: Parking

Puran - great atmosphere, great food
by Vtgrl79
Very simple as far as decor goes. Not pretentious. Food is fantastic. Wine is reasonably priced. Not overcrowded or filled with "cool Hollywood Crowds" which is great. Really enjoyed my first time experience here!
