Best Persian Food! And great atmosphere

by picky777

I am very picky about Persian food. But I looove this restaurant. The decor, atmosphere is beautiful. The service is amazing. The food is delicious and they give you VERY big portions. The best items on the menu are: beef kabobs, salmon with polo sabzi, ghorme sabzi, gheymeh with eggplants, lamb shank, and mast khiar. The tadigh is also great. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. I am shocked by the one star review... But I guess some people are haters.

The worst persian food ever

by aria787

The waiter was horrible; he had an attitude and asked me if I had ate food at any of the surrounding restaurants. I said yes I had ate at flame, and he said there food is sh*t right. I was mesmerized, by the rude comment. Anyways, the koobideh was good, but it was not great. For the prices the that this place charges the food should be great. Other then that, we had to flag down our waiter to get refills on our soda, overall I would not come back to this place ever again

• Pros: The manager
• Cons: The prices, and the staff

Very good everything, but strangely empty

by poohbah

We just ate here for the first time and everything was great except that we were almost alone. It was very strange. The food was excellent and the staff was very nice. I thought the decor was pretty interesting and not "cheesy modern" like the previous reviewer. The decor might not be typical of this type of restaurant but it was nice. There was live music on Friday night starting at about 8pm I think - an interesting touch. Parking is easy as long as your car isn't too wide (park behind restaurant but VERY narrow ally)! Overall, it was great but it would have been a lot better if there were more people in the restaurant. If you want good Middle Eastern food with fast service and absolutely no trouble getting a table, try this.

• Pros: Food, service, style
• Cons: Being alone?

Amazing beef koobideh

by agentred

This is a nice restaurant with the friendly waiters working hard to please you. We ate on a Saturday night and a musician was playing live. But most importantly, the beef koobideh was amazing. The shiraz salad was delicious. I also had the pomegranate/walnut chicken with lubia polo, which was just perfect together after a dash of hot sauce. To me personally, the decor is modern but cheesy. The persian calligraphy is stunning.

• Pros: Friendly staff, great food, easy street parking
• Cons: Cheesy modern decor

high quality dinning with great atmosphere and glam

by foodtaster_pro

For once the the decor matches the taste. Not only is this place stylish by so are the colorful traditional plates. Portions are huge and the menu is pages long with all the best middle eastern plates. And when you finish dinner you musssssst try somethign from the desert menu they have a huge desert menu. the food wass delicious and the service was great. My friends are alos fans of the exotice martinis that just got added thier happy hour menu. go with friends for a fun night out in LA

Wow Raffis finally has some competition

by farsiprincess

well I decided to go to this restaurant on valentines day, yet didnt think to make a reservation (because usually you dont have to with persian restaurants) but they were all booked up so I had to settle for a week later. Me and my boyfriend went there and were blown away. The decor and ambiance is nothing I have ever seen in any persian restarant. The service was uncanny, every 15 minutes they made sure we had everything we needed (let me just put in that the restaurant was pretty corwded), I got the boneless chicken and my bf got the beef koobideh, food was great. Everything tasted excellent, the only thing that i wasnt feeling was the house doogh, it had a little too much nanah, other then that WOW!! So i reached the conlcusion that Raffis in glendale finally has some competition........

• Pros: Food, Decor and service
• Cons: Parking

im in love with a place called BARAN

by you_siamak_me

let me just tell you, after eating here, i say to myself, why would i ever go to SHAMSHIRI or DARYA. this is where it is at. fine kabobs, and the decorations, it looks like im eating in the persian version of paris. one of a kind service. and they have really cute hostesses (call me).

anywho, this is one of the finest persian restaurants in the southern california region. and i hope they chain it out to other locations

• Pros: great everything
• Cons: too perfect
