We've been going to Furn Saj in Calabasas since they first opened and love that it is closer for us…read morethan the location in Granada Hills. It is definitely one of our favorite local spots. The staff is always incredibly friendly, and we love seeing one of the owners working hard behind the counter - it really shows how much they care about their business and customers. My husband and I hadn't visited since the beginning of the year, so we were pleasantly surprised to see some upgrades during our recent visit. Their dishes are now served on actual plates, complete with beautiful gold-colored silverware. It may seem like a small detail, but it really elevates the dining experience compared to having everything served in paper wrappers. Great decision! The food is consistently delicious, and the restaurant has a large outdoor patio with plenty of space, making it a fantastic location for parties, celebrations, or larger gatherings. We always enjoy our visits and look forward to coming back again soon.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant…read more When I arrived, I observed a kitchen employee lying down on one of the benches and taking a nap in the dining area. This was very unusual and not professional. More concerning, my wife and I ordered a salad, and shortly after eating, both of us developed stomach pain and diarrhea within a few hours. Based on the timing and symptoms, we strongly suspect the food may have been the cause. I contacted the restaurant the next day and spoke with a staff member (name starting with "A"). She took my number and said management would call me back. No one followed up. I called again a few days later, and was told the same thing -- still no response. It has now been about a month with no communication or resolution. Very disappointed with both the food quality and the lack of customer service. I would not recommend.

This time was at the relaxing back patio upstairs. They have a big menu with a lot of good items. We decided on vodka pasta, charred octopus and beet salad as appetizers. For mains we had chef's special prime rib and whole branzino, also truffle fries as side. For desserts we had tiramisu and sorbet. They make very good Vesper martinis here, the mocktail I tried wasn't great though. The service was excellent and very fast. Keep in mind that the food is more of Middle East Mediterranean flavor than Mediterranean European flavor. This place has become our go-to restaurant whenever we are in this area!

Coming first time…read morehere, you have the option of picking your poison on a hot summer afternoon either go deaf sitting inside with human jackhammers packed and loud AF, or swelter in the patio. Opted for the latter to celebrate my sister's birthday. They had some giant fans but they weren't doing much help. We put some drinks in and got 2 ridiculously expensive tiny hamachi crudo plates. Then all of a sudden the fans stopped working. Our waiter informed us that there was no power in the entire restaurant inside or out. Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldnt places like these have back-up generators just in case? Shortly thereafter he came and told us LADWP would arrive in 1 hour which literally means 2 to 3 hours minimum so instead of having our dinner for breakfast we asked to close out our bill (which should have been comped but they did not even deduct anything for the tremendous inconvenience), after just two plates of Hamachi Crudo and four drinks. The bill was presented to me and I figured there's no way all of this costs $240 I said I want to see an itemized receipt they came back with a $160 bill so more shady shit thrown to the shade. Very grudgingly paid but just wanted to get the fuck out of there we went to Il Fornaio nearby and had a lovely meal and service, to salvage my poor sister's birthday. Needless to say but I will, the easiest one and done in my life and I've had quite a bit if you read my reviews. Inexcusable ridiculousness and zero compensation. It was complete chaos as people were canceling left and right and more people were flooding in as the reservations backed up I hope God helped them through the night. It's one thing to lose power unfortunate yes, but to not have a backup generator and then not even take care/compensate your customers is an abysmal excuse for management and a restaurant, not to mention the blatant theft attempt.

I did…read morenot realize that there's a free parking in the back of the building for the restaurant, but I was able to find parking on the street directly in front but that is paid street parking. Good to know for next time to check the back. Upon entering I didn't know what to expect, the restaurant is very clean and was empty at the time of arrival. They have a cute little bar and the staff is very friendly. Instead of ordering at the front, you can sit at your table and the server comes to you. Also, at the end I expected that they would automatically give us the bill, but actually you have to ask for it when you're ready. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma which arrived with rice, garlic sauce, and a fresh salad. I don't know if it's because I was starving, I had been running around all day and hadn't yet eaten a meal, but I was extremely impressed with the food. The chicken was hot and flavorful, I loved the garlic sauce, and the salad was literally fresh and light tasting. Some other people trickled in and then went outside and were playing games and smoking hookah. I don't know if it's standard for the hookah to be outside or not, but I thought that was nice that they did it that way. Overall I thought the food was excellent and I will definitely stop by again!

I had a very disappointing experience at Shirin Restaurant. Before driving there, I called…read morespecifically to ask if they had ghormeh sabzi and tahdig because those were the main reasons I wanted to visit. I was told they had both. However, after I arrived, I was informed that they actually didn't have either item. It was frustrating to make the trip based on incorrect information. To make matters worse, our waiter, who was an older Hispanic man, was rude and dismissive throughout the visit. Instead of trying to help or apologizing for the misinformation, he made the experience feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Good customer service starts with accurate communication and treating guests with respect, and unfortunately this restaurant fell short on both. I hope the restaurant improves its communication with customers and provides better customer service in the future, but based on my experience, I don't plan on returning.

We got the order, but the issue seemed to have connections issues with the establishment, also they didn't even ask for a name to put on the order. We got there and the place is beautiful! We were definitely underdressed even with taking our food to go. Everyone was dressed up and you can tell they try to make this place "approachable high end" which felt nice. The service was friendly and quick. The food is the easily the highlight! Everything was very fresh and packed with a lot of flavor, even the side of rice. With everything together of our meal, the two wraps, the cheese Barek, and the rice came together beautifully. For everything being around $60, it's definitely worth it! I have to say if you are looking for some good Mediterranean food at a decent price, this is a great choice for you!

It is definitely a good deal when you do takeout however, if you go to the restaurant, it would cost about $40 per person, including a drink. We really enjoy their food, we had spoken to alex multiple times regarding ordering. We usually get the beef koobideh and chicken shish kebab. With rice, must o khiar which is the yogurt dip, mushk badenjan as well as garden salad salad The eggplant dip is usually really good however, when we went to the restaurant, it was mediocre. However, the food the salad were really good. We had gotten lunch menu, which comes with soup or salad and a dish of chicken or beef. We had the lentil soup and it was outstanding. The restaurant looks nice and fancy, they have plenty of parking lots. Overall, the service was wonderful, if I am not mistaken, the server name was Jennifer and she was amazing. I would return to the restaurant, however I hope next time the eggplant dip would be better

I was like "what?" And then Alberto the order taker started explaining the difference, but I cut him off. I said I already knew the difference, but they were the first to ever give the option. I was very impressed and I hadn't even had a bite yet. The service was very attentive, warm and wholly professional. The food was very reasonably priced. The portion sizes were hefty. And the best part was how good my food was. My falafel wrap was as good as it gets--but even bigger than that. The house salad that came with the wrap included a delicious dressing. Great little business in a popular shopping center with Dollar Tree and laundromat. I use the laundromat for my big blankets, and now I know where I'll go to kill time and wait. 5 stars.
