I love going to Farsi cafe. Delirious food, great service and fast delivery, highly recommended read more

I have to say... Farsi has to have one of the best bhargs I've had in a long time. The meat is flavorful and soft just as it should be. The mast o mousir was spot on... not too salty like other places we've tried in Westwood. Very happy with our visit. read more

I took my friend here for his birthday, and we had Sani kebab, which is steak kebab, and it was really really delicious. Occasionally, I order from them. I get green rice with Lima or fava beans and the ground beef kebab which my dog loves it when I share it with him, very, very good and the portion is great for the price, I usually have enough for lunch the next day if I order dinner. I also like a dish called TAH - CHIN which is rice with yogurt and chicken baked in a sort of pie or cake very delicious. The people that work at this café are super, super accommodating and nice, so I definitely say that this is a great place if you want to eat Persian food and do you want to vibe some good people! read more

We've dined in several times and order through uber eats at least a few times a month. The kabob and appetizers are consistently good. I frequently order family meals for up to eight people and there are never any errors in our order. Prices are very reasonable to begin with and, when they have b1g1 deals, I almost feel guilty. Farsi Cafe is definitely a staple in our house. read more

Came here for a dinner with family based on a recommendation. We ordered a bunch of items from the menu, all food options were great. I got the beef soltanti kabob dish, which is a mix of their kubideh and barg kabobs. I also had the Salad Shirazi and Kashk O Bademjan appetizers we ordered. As someone who eats Persian cuisine a lot I enjoyed everything. Wait staff was attentive and helpful given how large our group was. I liked the vibe of the restaurant as well, gives you the feel of Persian culture I experienced in other places. read more

Undercooked chicken, no flavor in food, very slow service. Save your money and appetite for somewhere else.

Best Persian food in LA! Not to be missed. Service is also great. Must try for sure! The ghormeh sabzi was super fresh.

Hit or miss. Hit or miss. How about not putting old lol is polo in an order when it's old! Like why at $40 a plate do you guys suck so much. The only reason I order here is because two times out of three times it's fresh. Then the third time you really know how to screw your customers over. How about throwing away the kabob after you burn it instead of sticking in in the Uber Eats order. Ridiculous. How about making sure the bademjoon stew has come together and cooked before you send it out. read more

Farsi Cafe - Uncooked eggplant bademjoon stew Disgusting. Just say you don't have it! - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Guess this place has gone downhill. I've had some pretty good meals here in the past, but today I ordered the lunch special, chicken kabob with shirazi subbed for rice. I picked the "juicy" option, but let me tell you that this was the blandest, driest chicken I've ever tasted. There were three pieces, I had to toss the third one, and only ate the first two due to limited lunch break and starvation factors. And don't get me started on the shirazi. They just included a small container of not fresh (bottled) lemon juice on the side. Like seriously guys, you couldn't season the shirazi? If you wanna spend almost $30 with tip and get three dry pieces of bland chicken and unseasoned shirazi, then this is the place, I guess. read more

My go to Persian spot when I find myself back in the city of angels. I live in OC full time now, and it is so difficult to find quality Persian cuisine where I live, so when I'm in LA, Farsi cafe always satisfies my Persian food cravings. The saffron tahdig is amazing- the texture is perfect and it's not hard like other places, so I don't feel like I'm going to break one of my teeth when I eat it. The Gormeh Sabzi is to die for... the lamb is so tender and falls apart in your mouth and it goes perfectly with all of the ingredients in the stew. I also love the yogurt dip served with lavash. It's such a refreshing appetizer & the perfect snack for a hot summer day in Los Angeles. Highly recommend Farsi cafe if you enjoy Persian food. read more

Great place to get takeout for families-- we order a Beef Kobideh with an extra skewer of meat and a Chicken Kobideh also with an extra skewer, they came in two huge containers and the food was enough to feed four adults. Great tasting and very tender meats too! I'd recommend the ground meat (beef or chicken) versus the chucks of meat as the ground ones are much more flavorful. Just one note about their peppers -- do not try unless you are a black belt of spicy food eater; they can kill! ; ) read more

We have dined at the Farsi cafe several times, and the food and ambiance has always being superb. In fact my husband loves celebrating his birthday there for several years. Also, when we have office events we order food from the cafe. We highly recommend this place the food is always freshly prepared and the quality never changes. read more

I was at Farsi cafe the other day with my family, I do care about service , the service was fantastic and the food was incredible, I would suggest who ever want to have good Persian food try Farsi cafe !!!! read more

I used to get Farsi Cafe delivered all the time when Uber Eats was first starting out. It was super convenient because parking tends to be tough on Westwood Boulevard. However I hadn't eaten the food in years so I decided to come here with family for dinner the day after Thanksgiving. We miraculously found a metered spot that was open right by the restaurant. Upon entering we were given several choices for seating and decided on one by the door. There was live music which was nice and the restaurant was pretty full. Our menus were given right away and we started to browse the different selections. I ended up ordering the boneless thigh kebob with half rice and half shirazi salad. My partner got the kobideh combination with half rice and half green salad. Other family members orders different dishes but I forgot what everyone got. We were all pleased with the food and the fantastic service. Drinks were constantly refilled and we were often asked if we needed anything. The reason they lost a star is due to their high prices. I don't remember them always being this expensive and there are lots of similar places that are less costly. Also our waitress disappeared to help other tables after taking our order but the kind gentleman that brought out our food noticed and thats who kept checking up on us. Overall a good experience and would definitely come often if the prices were a bit lower or they offered some sort of discount offers. read more

This place has amazing food. We use them for office party ! Looking forward for our next gathering !

My husband and I walked into Farsi Cafe at lunch time and it was completely empty. We were told to sit where we wanted to and we then proceeded to wait 10 minutes for anyone to come to our table while there were at least 4 employees rotating in and out of the dining room; and making it worse, several of them made direct eye contact with us and yet never said anything. After placing our order, it took another 15 minutes just to receive our waters and sodas. The food, when it finally arrived, was good but not amazing; definitely not worth the price. My husband used to be a huge promoter for this restaurant but will now not return due to the bad service. read more

MOST DISGUSTING SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. SMELLY FISH. I have been going here for 10 years but after the customer service I received, NEVER AGAIN. I ordered a grilled white fish to go, which is on their menu, when I got the order it was fried white fish. I called to let them know they got the order wrong and the so called "manager" said oh we don't even have a grill. Then I asked why they wouldn't have just told me that. The manager is by far the most low grade, low class unprofessional person I have ever encountered in hospitality. He accused me of lying. I have better things to do then fight w Farsi cafe on Christmas Eve. He basically said even though I ordered the grilled fish and they gave me the fried fish, he wouldn't refund me bc they don't have a grill and I was not told that over the phone. Not to mention it was the most smelly, no flavor piece of fish I've had. It looks nothing like the photo they have on there site. Save your money and go to taste of Tehran across the street for better quality food And the owner/staff are one of a kind. read more

Food was very delicious! Chicken kebab is one of my favorite Mediterranean foods and I have to say Farsi Cafe has met my expectations super delicious I highly recommend this restaurant :) read more

I have been to Farsi Cafe a few times. Love the Khourmeh Sabzi plates and Beef Kobediah sandwiches which are so good. Place is less expensive ,and you get bigger portions of food for your bang for your buck. Good menu choices, and the place is nice with good music here. I will be back for more. read more

You gotta love this place and especially the Fesenjun. What I would recommend to anyone. The absolute best fesenjun I ever had was in Iran and this place is close. Not sure if pomegranate paste even exists here. Thank you for the experience read more

Food was fresh and absolutely tasty. I highly recommend Tauchin which is my favorite dish now. Chicken tender kabob was cooked to perfection. Juicy and full of flavor. Their hummus is number one in town. Our host is explained to us that their hummus is made from scratch at the restaurant. In addition to the great quality of food, the restaurant ambience is welcoming and relaxing. I will definitely return to this place soon to enjoy some more healthy and fresh Mediterranean food. read more

Their chicken tender kabob is amazing. It's very juicy and flavorful. The best in town. Definitely will be returning to this amazing restaurant. read more

Service was slow. Food was NOT good. I got the fesenjoon ~ $22, which was pretty salty. My daughter got the gheymeh bademjoon, ~ $22, which she ended up adding some somagh to, to make it a little tasty. The worst part was the bill. There was an added two dollars because I wanted mine with no chicken (vegetarian) So, I asked them, you take the chicken out, and add to the price?? He said, well, we gave you more stew. it's extra because the stew is more expensive and fresh. I guess the chicken wasn't fresh??!! read more

Very expensive, mediocre food, terrble atmospher. I requested a shishlik/barg chelakabab, substituting white rice with bvgatarian loobia polo, no drinks it cost me $47 and the meat was chewy. read more

The koobideh was ass. It was too powdery. The service here is pretty weak as well. I would not be visiting again.

If it weren't for Dine LA restaurant week, I would probably never come here. The prices are ridiculously high!!! It sounds like they recently raised their prices too... If you want a kabob plate, you're looking at close to $20... For a $15 lunch through the Dine LA menu (which is a steal if you do a menu comparison), you get to choose an appetizer and an entree. Although the selection is limited, they have all of the popular dishes on the Dine LA menu. If you want dessert, it'll run you another $4. I opted for hummus and the ground beef kabob. I was hoping to order the shish kabob but they "ran out" for the day..whatever that means. The hummus was decent but the house pita bread was pretty weak. It was super thin; I was hoping for something a little bit more doughy. Meanwhile, the ground beef kabob was ok. I didn't think it was anything spectacular. It was a tad juicy and the meat was decent. They give you a ton of saffron rice which I don't think anyone can finish. I probably wouldn't come back because I don't think the food is worth the non-Dine LA price. read more

This will probably be my last review of Farsi Cafe The food is good, but their new menu with their new ridiculously high prices on top of an ignorant server (who may be related to an owner, or not), that makes claims how a vegetarian version of a sauce costs more than a meat version of the same sauce, and other things will keep me from come back here I don't want to get into details, BUT Farsi Cafe is not what it used to be- Caveat Emptor! read more

I'm Persian so when I tell you I know Persian food. The food was alright. I'm a vegetarian so it can be hard to find a good vegetarian Persian spot. I ordered the gourmet sabzi and it was good. Not the best; very oily. The ash reshteh was good, but for me it could've used more kashk. read more

A big NO- NO for me because this place is not what it used to be. I wasn't able to eat my food because it was awful and I believe That I wasted my time going there but I didn't know it became so bad. read more

The food here is delicious. Things that are good here: Appetizer-hummus, marinated olives, yogurt blended with eggplant and herbs (Nax Khaton), Yogurt blended with cucumbers and dill, Tahdig (crispy rice). Any of these with their super thin bread (lavash) is good. Main entree: I had the chicken kabob which is pounded chicken breast served with a grilled tomato, serrano pepper, basmati rice topped with safron. Its ground chicken except with no skewer stick.Its light and plenty of leftovers depending on size. A half order is one long stick of chicken and 2 skewers is a full order. I had this with half rice and half a shirazi salad. Someone I work with cut me a big piece of their ground beef and I decided that the beef tastes way better than my chicken. I'm going to make sure I do a combination order next time! Stew: I had 2 one was good and the other was okay. 1. Gheymeh- yummy! It had chunks of beef cooked in split peas, tomatoes, and topped with crispy skinny fries. I would get this again. Very shareable. 2. Ghormeh Sabzi- Its sauteed herbs like spinach and parsley served with red kidney beans. It was alright to me. It had a lot of oil in it. read more

FOOD POISONING My family and I dined there on Sunday. Within a few hours we were all vomiting and super sick. The next day I called to let the restaurant know and I asked to speak to the manager or owner. Jonathan, one of the waiters said that he was the shift lead and that he was in charged. When I told him, he had zero concern and told me that the food didn't smell bad and that we ate it. I told him that I wanted to only speak to the owner or manager. He was very dismissive and rude. On Tuesday I called again and they had me call back several times. The last time I called in the afternoon, Jonathan came on the phone. He told me that he had called every single customer that was there on Sunday and that no one else got sick. He was super condescending, dismissive and told me in his words that the owner was too busy to talk to me and the manager wasn't there. He didn't care that we were sick, zero concern or apology. I told him to please have the owner call me and he said that the owner wouldn't because we probably drank something that made us sick elsewhere. To be clear, we eat Persian food weekly. It's my toddlers favorite food and he was the one that requested having Persian food that night. We have our regular restaurant, Darya, which we have been going to for years, well before my son was even born. We have tried pretty much every restaurant in the area too. This was the first time we tried this restaurant. To me what made everything worse was the rudeness from Jonathan who is just the waiter clamming to be in charged. Zero concern and honestly not even an "I'm sorry you all got sick or anything". My husband and son are still not 100% and until yesterday Tuesday they were both still sick. I had to take my son to the doctor as well since he is just a toddler. I do. Not recommend this place to anyone. More than anything, customer service is terrible and there are much better restaurants to dine at. Don't waste your money or time here. If the owner reads this, I'm still waiting g for you to call me. Jonathan has my information. read more
