ShahSeptember 18, 2017You literally can't go wrong. Probably the best Persian food in the country. The Mast Moosir (yogurt with shallots) and Ikra (eggplant w/ tomato sauce) were real highlights.
Probably the best Persian restaurant in the US. Mast musir and kashke bademjun are a must with any food. Didn’t like rack of lamb (not sure about the name)
Mohammed Abu HajarAugust 22, 2020Its well known Armenian Resturant serving Grilled kebab and Meat, the Hummus and Taboula was great the beef cube was a bit dry but the kebab was juicy but has less flavour same for the boghula rice
Jonny AhdoutAugust 23, 2014Some of the best persian food and persian kabob in LA. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Their beef is particularly good. Just get everything.
Tarah FeinbergOctober 10, 2018Amazing Persian food, massive servings, tons of space, very family and group friendly. Try the different types of rices and the lentil starter, in addition to the kabobs of course.
Trina UnzickerSeptember 26, 2013Try your kabob (barg is my fave) with Albaloo Polo (rice mixed with dark cherries). It's $2 more to sub this for the usual basmati, but it's excellent. Or, try 1/2 cherry 1/2 regular for $1 more.
Starry KitchenOctober 4, 2015Dood... DOOOOOOOD combine the Ikra (eggplant dip) w/ the Yoghurt+Shallot dip w/ a lil onion.. A lil basil.. And holy SHIIIIIIT that mother fucker's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD in yo mouf! 😝😂😝
Michelle SJune 8, 2016Portions are huge which makes up for the prices. Make sure to order one of the yogurts and tomato/cucumber salads to accompany your entree.
Nilüfer özmekikJuly 25, 2018Sultan Kabob and eggplant dish were too die for. Portions are so big and delicious. You may share them. The place located in garden and it’s cozy and lovely.
Kyle PichaApril 2, 2019Favorite kabobs in Glendale! I heard about this place through theskedge.com recently and I'm so happy I did! It's definitely not cheap food, but they aren't going for that. Their decor inside is nice.
Rupert BerringtonNovember 3, 2015Excellent food. A little too much so I had to get a box to take home. I had Lamb Kabob medium well with chili pepper, green pepper, onions and a tomato.
Michelle Arnaiz-Dela RosaApril 6, 2015Omg! Best Mediterranean food I've ever had. Place is super nice and comfy. A little bit pricey but definitely worth it.
NikuJuly 27, 2015One of the best Persian food spots in LA, hands down. The only thing is it's valet only ($3)- Mohammed Abu HajarFebruary 7, 2017Wow Tasty Food order the following Kashk O'Badenmjan & Mast Moosir, kabab Kobidah, and Rack of lamb
- Michelle SJune 8, 2016Food was ok but not as good as reviews claim and I wasn't impressed.Filet kabobs were tender but lacked any seasoning. Eggplant appetizer was bland. Gelato trio was awesome. Service was amazing.
SadeemOctober 10, 2016Amaaaaaaazing food , it's the best Iranian Resturant in town .. everything was delicious... the meat too tender I would come here everyday
Ericka Castro-TuiaJune 28, 2013Food is awesome and people watching is almost as good :) Chicken barg & cucumber yogurt dip are my faves but you can't go wrong with anything here.
Aria RoyOctober 7, 2020Best Persian food- get the hummus and you can’t got wrong with the kebab plates (chicken soltani is my favorite)
Omar LeyanoDecember 19, 2016They have the best rack of lamb. Make sure to try the sultani kabob too. Hummus is good and kashk is great.- Sandy CJune 15, 2014Even the cheapest kabob, $13 for the Luleh, is amazing! You will definitely have leftovers. Eat the meat with lavash and basil
Jey TiourchiApril 11, 2019Tonight, Raffi’s turned into Ruffi’s. There was amazingly no more kubideh (ground chicken/meat). The chicken was like a chicharron and meat salty. The best part of my $75 meal was my “to go” tea.
Nahal TagDecember 27, 2011Sit outdoor, it is so beautiful. And definitely try the barg, their meat is very juicy. Some of the best persian food I have ever had!
Al Shaima Al MadaniMarch 22, 2016Awesome Persian food highly recommend and better to reserve before you go
Kevin HartApril 10, 2016Persian/Armenian kabobs yum, dope ass dank ass outdoor courtyard seating, and yogurt soda (bleh 😝)
DarrylDecember 1, 2013Don't forget to order a side of the barb kabob with the lamb kabob as the main course!
Gladys MFebruary 1, 2014One of the best Kabobs ever if not the best. Their filet mignon is so tender & tasty.
Melanie CalNovember 16, 2015The chicken kabob was amazing 😩 and the atmosphere is perfect for a date ☺️
Atoussa KSeptember 6, 2013One of the best kabab i ever tested ! Great persian food. The place is beautiful !
Ibrahim MANovember 23, 2011Try Sultani beef kabab with Yoghurt and cucumber on the side. Finish off with a very relaxing tea with mint.
Adel AlSNovember 13, 2015Whatever grilled meat / chicken they serve is 10/10.. Try their hommus too ..
Raffi’s kabob has the best kabobs in the freakin world. Amazing.
Husain KurwaFebruary 19, 2012One of the most bomb Persian spots I've been too, the tadik ghormeh sabzi was a unique treat
Igor ChysiukMay 5, 2012Servings are enormous! We split kabob and could barely finish it together. Service is ok. Food is delicious!
Ms. EmNovember 6, 2012Expect quantity... Plus quality! The meat on the lamb shank melted off the bones. Good luck finishing your plate off!
HoomanJuly 22, 2012They have good quality food, but very expensive. Expect to pay $22 for a Soltani Kabob at lunch. Try Shamshiri Grille if you want something good but cheaper.
