    The food was good and the back patio is cute but unfortunately there were too many mosquitos and we had to go inside. The inside space is very small. We enjoyed the food but thought some of the items are pricey for what they are.

    Yum! Went with my friend today and we had a great time eating sambusas, falafel sandwiches, and ash reshteh. Excellent service and friendly staff brought everything to the table and extra plates, utensils and condiments. Paper or reusable plates offered for dine in, yet I wish there was a non-styrofoam compostable option for take out as we had to get some since we didn't finish our food. I will also bring my reusable water bottle next time I dine in since there are only plastic waters available for purchase. Hopefully in the future, customers can opt in for purified water and reusable cup if dining in as an alternative to plastic.

    I really wanted to try this place and give them five stars because of the all the hype. Unfortunately, it disappointed me. There is an online ordering fee of $1.99 Not sure for what. They don't have the option for pay in store when ordering online. Food is ok, you can find similar or better quality in other similar restaurants. Place needs some remodeling to make it look modern. Also, they automatically add the tip to the bill. At least in my case that's what they did. I wasn't that impressed by the food and experience.

    Most delicious "ashe reshte " in a beautiful rainy day. The atmosphere was very cozy , service was excellent

    Delicious veggie sandwich!
    Amy H.

    Was craving a sandwich, so I stopped in. Very cozy, family-owned cafe that specializes in sandwiches and pizza. Asked them if they could make me a veggie sandwich, and they made me a super delicious and colorful one with the exact ingredients I wanted. They even added black olives and fresh herbs to take it over the top! Really enjoyed my lunch, will be coming back soon to this super friendly and welcoming spot.

    Shocking Almost non existent side french fries.

    First time here, and I really wanted to give 5 stars and support the business, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The food was very basic and not particularly enjoyable. We ordered a side of French fries, but as you can see in the photo, the portion was nearly nonexistent, which is the main reason for my 2-star rating. As for the ambiance, it could use some improvement. To put it politely, the TV was playing content that felt inappropriate for a dining establishment, with videos featuring minimal clothing and themes that didn't suit the environment. For the record, I'm not conservative, but it was a bit excessive for a place like this. On a positive note, the service was excellent and very attentive.

    Persian Delux ............... Outside

    Today we went to Denj Resturant, we tried the persian delux pizza it was very good I liked the crust very crispy and wasnt oily which is my favorite , 100% recommend you wont regret it.

They use the best ingredients and they care for the quality of food that they serve. I appreciated this especially since many cafes don't care and try to just do whatever with no thought behind it. They have several seating available for large parties and a ton of food choices for the long hours they are open. Can't wait to go back and try some other dishes during lunch or for a late night snack since they are open late.

It had to be new; when I lived in the area five years ago, it simply didn't exist. I'm a firm believer in supporting local businesses, so I made a spontaneous U-turn and decided to see what this place was all about. Serendipity, it turns out, has excellent taste! First impressions were strong. A generous parking lot, a welcoming outdoor patio, and the kind of calm confidence that suggests a place run with intention. Inside, I was greeted by a young cashier who was warm, sweet, and effortlessly professional. The pastry and cake display immediately pulled me in, but curiosity led me to ask about breakfast. She walked me through an impressively wide menu, and my eyes locked onto the ajarski--beautifully described as a boat-shaped dough crowned with cheese and two large eggs. I asked her to add protein, and I chose to go with bacon. A double espresso sealed the deal. The interior is spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with large windows framing Foothill Boulevard and the rolling Tujunga hills beyond. I took a seat facing the window, soaking in the view as the city moved quietly outside. The espresso arrived first--rich, full-bodied, and perfectly textured, not the watered-down imitation too often passed off as a "double." Then came the ajarski. Let me be clear: I've traveled extensively and eaten ajarski in many corners of the world. What landed on my table here was on another level. Every detail was dialed in. The cheese melted luxuriously, the bacon was savory perfection, and the dough--golden, airy, and baked at just the right temperature--delivered depth of flavor with every bite. This wasn't just good; it was intentional cooking, executed with care and pride. I lingered, enjoying the ambiance, the food, and the attentive service. The tip was more than deserved. This place is professionally run, thoughtfully curated, and genuinely uplifting. It put a smile on my face and gave me the kind of energy that carries you through the rest of the day. Highly recommended. A true neighborhood gem--and one I'll be returning to often.

The employee asked if I wanted everything on it and I said yes. I was going to ask for veggies so I'm glad that the every topping question was asked. The sandwich was pretty filling. The bread was a little crunchy. The veggies spilled out of the first half of the sandwich I ate, which was understandable since it was pretty full. I like that the sandwich had a kick to it, it's because of the jalapeño and maybe the capocollo. My total was $18.71 which I thought was fair. It's cozy inside. Lighting was bright, artificial lights were on. I ordered at 1:09 pm. The sandwich was done at 1:17 pm. They were working on multiple orders. A few customers were inside. There were three tables inside. Newspaper clippings were placed on the walls along with certificates and decorations. Bars were on windows. Shades or curtains were placed on other windows. Cannoli were no longer in the fridges. I went here years ago so I noticed the small changes. Smells of food wafted through the deli. Menus were placed at the top of the wall. It's great that they take Apple Pay. I had to move my phone around to make sure the system processed my card but it worked. I think they updated their POS system. Both the employee and Mary told me have a good day and I thanked them both.

I went at 5:30pm on a Thursday when there was no wait.  A pleasant bearded man with limited English comprehension but more than enough to take an order told me 10 minutes when I ordered the lamb. He threaded pieces of lamb brined in what looks like salt & red paprika powder on to a metal skewer.  Then put the lamb meat over smoldering mesquite charcoal which infused a very delicate smokiness. Meat is moist with a good meaty chaw. Lamb was mild & didn't have gaminess.  Biggest Lavash flatbread that was leathery, extremely thin, airy yet had strong enough tensile strength to hold the inside food without breaking open.  He placed the lamb, chopped cilantro, thin sliced onions, squirt of possibly herbed aïoli. Then he rolled the Lavash like a Sushi roll.  Portion is rather large and would make for a more than decent meal. There is a slight pleasant burn from chiles that slowly sneaks up on you. Includes a drink. I chose Classic Coke in a 7oz can.  Definitely a 4 star street food experience which may hark back to Yerevan. Open from 5pm-2am. It would make for a great late night snack.
