Calm atmosphere to eat and get away from the busy city traffic. Especially before or after a universal studio day next door. The manager makes the tastiest dishes. A great and convenient stop in and out of Hollywood. read more

We ordered food to go. It all looked good. When we got home we open the packaging. The bread was moldy. I called and he said that he gets the bread delivered every other day. And that he just takes it out of the oven and puts it in the bag. I would have left it at that, but there are other reviews from months ago that said the bread was moldy. Not cool. Care a little bit that you are not giving out bad food to your customers. read more

Great local small Persian restaurant. This is your "hole in the wall" restaurant that has great service and fresh food directly from the burners! Authentic food with all the right spices and flavors.

Kaban Persian Restaurant - Lamb Chops with a beef kabob skewer - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We ordered hummus and pita, chicken kebab and eggplant skewers. Hummus was good, chicken and rice was also good. I was so excited about the eggplant skewers however I didn't quite expect the lentils in it and it was so citrusy since they put a whole lime in it. Not my taste but other than that everything was ok. Fast service. read more

The owner was able to keep his place open after closing. We were trying to catch a flight and had no problem staying late. The quality of the food was amazing. We have had a terrible experience with Persian restaurants while in LA. Im glad we found Kaban and will definitely make it a point to stop by every time im in town. read more

enjoyed a great meal with the family. Tasty hummus as a starter ( beautiful flavor). The kabobs (chicken, lamb and beef) were tasty - massive serves. Service was friendly and the place has lovely photos. Highly recommended read more

This place is great and has super friendly staff. I got the ghormeh sabzi which came with rice that was to die for! I'm incredibly picky with sabzi because I love it so much and have been spoiled with great home cooking, so even though it was excellent and I definitely recommend, I personally have to give the 4/5 for others like me. I will be coming back. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Food is still so bomb here. I have to give more slack to the owner, he literally is a one man shop , doing the order, cooking, and waiting. This place is criminally under-rated read more

Fantastic food, large portions, reasonable pricing. No one on the shop but us, we don't understand - visit this restaurant!

Do you want the freshest food with the finest ingredients may to order? This is your place! Even the rice was cooked to perfection. The Persian salad was fresh cut and brimming with fresh flavors. My steak kebabs were cooked to perfection and the veggies were perfectly roasted. Will definitely stop back here again when I'm in this part of town. This is a five-star restaurant! read more

Excellent authentic Persian cuisine. Each dish made from scratch. Best take out option in Studio City & Hollywood Hills neighborhoods

Located at a busy shopping center in studio city area. so parking is a bit challenging but the good food made it worth it. Had lunch with a clinet and he even went for second Round order and he finished both plates! Haha score for me since I picked the place. Small and clean restaurant. Food portion was good for lunch special. I also ordered the Mast Moosir. Which was very tasty. For main course, I got Beef koobideh with half shirazi salad and half rice. I left nothing behind! Haha The owner was very friendly and takes pride in his work. Also had a good sense of humor. Pricing was reasonable. Will be back. Thank you read more

Yum.....yum...yum! So glad I found this delicious gem in the valley. It's a small quaint restaurant with lots of cute paintings and pictures around. It's like a one man show but he takes care of business! The servings are huge and the food was really really good. I tried the chicken with half salad and half zereshk polo and the rice was amazing!! We also had the Barg with rice and it was high quality meat and so so good. I'm not sure if they have Tachin here but I'm definitely coming back and checking if they do. But there food is real good. If your in the area and want some good authentic Persian food then this is your place. read more

I checked out this restaurant for dinner and here is my feedback: Chicken kabob was tasty and great, however too expensive for what it is Koobideh:not that good, didn't taste like it has meet and it was very salty Rice: was ok, not too bad Service and cleanliness: was just ok and not impressive. At this point, I won't recommend this till I give it another shot and see if I see improvement. read more

Let me start my review by saying that this was NOT the best Persian food that I've had, nor was it the best restaurant that I have been to. I walk in, and there was no one on a Friday/mid day 5:30pm. to be exact! Sat down and ordered beef koobideh kabob with rice and shirazi salad. Like I said, food was good, but not great. Nice, big portions, but that's how it is usually if you walk in to any other Persian restaurants. VERY BLAND!!!!!! Bread was old/stale. Owner Masoud was very PRETENTIOUS, but pretending to be civil and nice with everyone. However, just because I was dining alone and were from almost the same country as he was, I did NOT get the same service, attention and respect just like the other folks did when they walked in a bit after me. When my check arrived I have noticed that he charged me $24.86, when my meal was only $16.50. I called him over so he can explain why was I over charged?? His response was that they charge for everything. I noticed that he is not talking about tax. He automatically charged gratuity, and my salad which he did NOT mention to me if you get half rice, half salad, then it is an extra charge. Why would he charge gratuity 18% w/out my knowledge, and when he is the owner of the restaurant doing multiple tasks?? Taking orders over the phone,taking orders inside the restaurant, cooking the food, hosting and entertaining his customers with his broken English and dry sense of humor. Place was cozy, clean, nice and not welcoming!! I don't think I will return. I've been ignored, and will return to my favorite Persion restaurants: SHIRAZ, in (GLENDALE and SHERMAN OAKS), MASIS KEBOB inside the mall in Sherman Oaks, KASHCOOL KITCHEN and few others that I know! I just wanted to give this place a try since it was closer to home.... and I did! I guess there is a first time for everything. read more

This was such a gem of a restaurant that my friends found on Yelp! We were going to a show nearby and this place was not only delicious, the service was super friendly. I feel like I am eating at my own uncle's restaurant! The four of us arrived on a weekend evening around 5pm and we were able to be seated right away. I opted for the Persian hot tea and the tea set up was super cute. There was a little pot of sugar cubes as well as sugar in the raw packets. The tea was warming and soothing, exactly what I was looking for. The food was a bit more difficult to order since I don't normally eat Persian food. Luckily, I had Yelp pictures to help me decide. We decided to each pick a different entree so that we can try different dishes. You also get your choice of rice or salad. The cucumber salad was tart, tangy, and refreshing. However, I also have to have rice with my meats so thankfully you are able to do a half rice half salad option. The price is very reasonable for the amount of food that you get, and it really seems like the food is just cooked with love. Even though it is a bit of a drive for me, it was an excellent place to stop in for a meal. read more

Such a pleasant surprise! I was in the area and I saw this on Yelp. Cute decor, chill music in the background and amazing food the lunch specials are also a great value! read more

There's a reason for the 5 stars all over for this restaurant. I've been to a good amount of Persian restaurants in LA and Kaban tops them all. Very friendly service, clean and attentive. The food was VERY good and like any other Persian place, large dishes are served. Homemade grainy hummus that is very surprising! Warm eggplant appetizer was killer as well as he Fatush salad. Lamb chops where amazing. Super tender and made to perfection as well as beef kebabs. Don't go, run! Enjoy yourself read more

Kaban Persian Restaurant - Small and cozy. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I don't who is voting for this place with 4 or 5 stars. We were visiting from out of town and coming back from Universal Studio. I looked for Kabob place and this place had good reviews. Small place with one guy working there. Food is not that great. The meat was tough. Maybe because it was end of the day and he was gonna close soon. read more

The place is cozy and nice. The staff were also nice. We had mast o khiar and soltani beef kabob. Masto khiar was good. The breads were old and kind of stale. The rice was kind of smelly(by itself)even though there was a saffron mix on top there was still some smell with the rice. The koobideh was absolutely tasteless! The barg was ok except for being tasteless. We added salt pepper and sumac so we could finish it. It was kind of overpriced for the quality. read more

Finally we already ate lunch with my family at Kaban Persian Restaurant. I would like to shared my experienced in this restaurant: First the FOOD TASTE- the foods are so delicious and authentic taste. They have a lot of sides like salads. My favorite is beef koobideh it's so juicy and tasty. The Brest chicken OMG it's so tender. They will serve salmon soon and I can't wait to try that. Second the SERVICES - they are so friendly even the owner, they are so sweet. The chef did really good job for making the best kabob. The restaurant very neat and clean. I love their small chandeliers looks classy even the furniture. We will definitely come back again and again every time we go to universal studios Hollywood. I will recommend this restaurant you will enjoy your dine there. read more

Overpriced and poor quality. The Kabab place close by my home which recently closed down had far better food at almost half the price. I ordered a beef sultani, eggplant appetizer, and shallot yogurt. The koobideh kabab was dry and not worth having again. The filet part was decent. However, the rice was oily and poor quality. A restaurant charging this much should be serving fluffy, longer Basmati rice. The eggplant appetizer was also too oily. I ordered delivery and the oily problem was apparent as soon as I peaked in the bag. The white styrofoam food containers were all oily on the outside. Suffice to say, I paid approximately $90 for a delivery order (excluding tip), and I feel like I got bad fast food kabab. I don't think any of the people giving this restaurant high ratings have ever dined at a good quality Persian restaurant. For those of you actually taking the time to read reviews, and are not being misled by the average rating the way I was, I recommend you try dining elsewhere. read more

Great location for a fresh and healthy restaurant. I waited months for this restaurant to open due to months of construction and planning. But I have to say; it was absolutely worth the wait. The food was delicious and better then I expected!! I can't wait to come back and try the other dishes they have.. read more

Amazing food. This place is truly authentic and the owner was amazing with his service. Will definitely come back here when in town again.

The food is delicious and made fresh daily. The chicken and beef was fresh, juicy and flavorful. Kaban has become my go-to favorite for Mediterranean and Persian cuisine. The owner clearly takes a great deal of pride in his restaurant and he maintains a clean and cozy dining room and the kitchen is by far one of the cleanest kitchens I've ever seen in a restaurant. But it's the food that is the star of the show at Kaban. Try this place the next time you're hosting a gathering at home or an office lunch. Kaban has my highest recommendation. read more

Appetizers were very good But the main course - kabobs were mediocre at best. Bit overcooked and salty with not much to speak about. Being Persian myself, Persian kabob should have a much better taste, considering the price. read more

We had ordered take out including two bargs kababs and two chicken kababs. The quality of the meat and rice was one of the worst I've tried. The food was actually bitter and was just terrible. read more

I was there a couple days ago and ordered the lamb chop kabob and chicken kabob. I received about six or seven pieces of lamb but it was it was all bone. I expected some bone but not that much. I couldn't even take a bite because it was mostly bone. From what I can nibble around the bone, the meat was undercooked and was way too salty. I basically paid $23 dollars to gnaw on bone. The chicken however, was good and moist. Just to clarify, i don't have an issue with the bone but there was hardly any meat on these pieces and it felt like the owner was trying to cut corners by serving bones pieces and passing it off as lamb chops. Very disappointed..... read more

Very very very good koobideh. Chef takes pride in his food. Will return or take out. Inside is a bit small, but koobideh you gotta eat right off the skewer. read more
