    Chel S.

    I've been to this restaurant twice now. The first time I thought it's okay. After going again, though, I have to say the food just isn't that great. The service could use some improvement, and this is the second time they've forgotten the salad and lavash. The flavors aren't very strong, and overall the dishes feel a bit underwhelming. I do think this place has potential, but something always seems to miss the mark. Maybe the lunch special just isn't their strong suit.

    The Soltani kabob

    Ok for non Iranians who have never tasted real chelo Kabab this may be ok . But for Iranians , not even close. I tasted the following. Tadig with two kind of stew. The rice portion was good. The Ghormehdabzi ( green stew) was acceptable. The Ghaimeh (brown stew) was sub par. ( don't tried it) . The main dish Soltani Kabab which includes Kobideh and Barg beef Kabab. As the food arrived I knew the problem. The Kobideh mix included baking soda, the meat puffed up like a sasuage. It was terrible , really . The Barg was prepared ok, too much meat tenderizer to mask poor meat quality. For $37 I think you could do better. This was my first and last time at this place.

    Kabob village is one of my family's frequent spots. Portions are large enough to share between two people and pretty tasty. Though, many times we've gone and they've been out of items, even around 11 am. They provide free tea and bread to snack on with your order which is a plus!

    No where in LA the luleh kabob taste as good as this... literally, mouth-watering, succulent, melt-in-your-mouth luleh kabob. The server, Kamiar, was friendly and very accommodating. The lunch special portions were healthy balanced with zereshk polo (extra $3.00 well woth it) impeccable luleh kabob, bar-b-q tomato and pepper, and salad with fresh ingredients of Persian cucumber, lettuce, tomato and red onions topped with citrus dressing, included with self served Persian tea. All these reasonably priced... an epic experience of luleh kabob, forgot to mention about freshly baked bread, and flavorful kashk badenjan, with crispy onions, ambiance was welcoming as with comfortable seats

    Delicious food and friendly service. The complimentary tea is great.

    Not sure about the hype here at all! Expensive, mediocre taste, dirty floors, tables, chairs, entry doors, yawning and tired looking workers. No interest to really cater to you and make you feel special. So why go there if they don't care to see you or have you. Bottom line, typical one and done! So many other options around. I had Koobideh and the smallest portion of Kashko-badmjune (eggplant dip) for $28!!! A take out order, and the order sat there waiting for me to go back up the cashier 10-15 minutes after order was ready with me sitting there 10 feet away alone with only 2 other customers inside. Like I said tired staff and disinterested. Highly disappointed.

    This is our 3rd time here...food is very good here, and the people that take our order are very kind!! Portion sizes are fantastic!! This one is in Westfield Topanga The Village!!

    If you are dining solo, just one beef or chicken kabob will be enough (includes rice or half rice/half salad)!!! If you are not dining solo, just go for one of the family platters as it only comes out to $3 more for wayyyy more items. That being said, the food here is great, everything tastes good, but don't forget to purchase a sauce on the side because just having the meat & rice gets dry. The reason I'm docking 2 stars is because the TV menu screens transition so quickly it is literally possible to read and you have to spend 5+ minutes just trying to understand the menu. Another issue I had is the water cups are so small I had to get up so many times to refill my lil cup. Other than these fixable issues, the restaurant itself is nice and clean and the staff is helpful with the menu. Oh, and beware of a 3.5% CC processing fee!

    Chicken kabob lunch

    First time here and the location is nice and the food! It's really clean inside and cute spot to dine in. The lady I believe may be the owner is really sweet and was very nice to us since it was our first time and we wanted to know what was good to order. The prices are great and you get a lot of food. We came for the lunch special, which is only $11.99. The best deal for middle eastern food with good quality, in the valley. The chicken breast Kabob was super tasty! Juicy and tender. The salad dressing was very good and flavory as well. The cucumber yogurt was very good and thick! Overall, I will be back I like the customer service and the food is so delicious! I like the spot where it is right across from Topanga mall, and right next to joey's PARKING: you have to pay for parking for every 90 minutes!

Turmeric Braised Chicken - The dish was a bit on the basic end, not a lot of seasoning but you could taste the tumeric. Chicken was tender but slightly on the drier side which was a bit surprising considering it was dark meat (6.5/10) Kofteh Tabrizi - The tomato taste was prominent in the broth but the meatball itself was overly salty. The flavor was one note, I can't see myself ordering this again as I've heard this dish should have more complex flavors so I was disappointed (5.5/10) Kotlet Plate - As you can see from my picture, the kotlet was burnt beyond repair and I could taste the bitterness from the overused oil they used to fry it. I did like the yogurt spread and the pickles that came with it but I did not like the kotlet at all. We didn't bother asking them to replace it (4/10) Mirza Ghasemi w/ Barbari bread - The star of this whole experience was the Mirza Ghasemi, the roasted eggplant and tomato spread came cold and it was the most delicious thing we had. One of my friends vacuumed it right up before the rest of us could have seconds. Bread was a bit dry but it was a great vehicle for the Mirza (8.5/10) Lamb Gheimeh - Lamb was tender and it had some nice spices infused in there but it didn't wow me in any way (7/10) Sholezard - Our waitress brought over some complimentary Ceylon tea with the Sholezard which was kind. This rice dessert was not too sweet. The warmth and saffron ended our meal in a comforting way. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again (7/10) +1 star for the service

Almost every time I order, the food takes much longer than expected, and when you ask about the status, the employees can come across as passive-aggressive rather than helpful. I've also picked up orders here as a delivery driver, and the same issue happens consistently...the orders are rarely ready on time. Delivery platforms provide an expected pickup time, and that information is communicated to the customer. When Toranj runs significantly behind, it doesn't just affect their order; it affects the entire delivery route. I've had situations where waiting for a Toranj order caused my other deliveries to be delayed as well. Everything gets pushed back, including this order, and ultimately the delivery driver can receive negative feedback or remarks on their account for delays that were completely outside their control. That can directly affect a driver's earnings and performance. Overall, the food and atmosphere are good, but the efficiency and communication need serious improvement. If Toranj can't consistently keep up with delivery orders, I honestly think it would be better not to offer delivery through third-party platforms until they can figure out a more efficient system. At the very least, they should be upfront about realistic preparation times so customers and drivers can properly manage expectations.

    The food itself was delicious…read more We didn't experience the ambiance since we placed a delivery order. However, I have to give this two stars because we ordered two items specifically for several vegetarians in our party: the ghormeh sabzi and the gheimeh. Based on the descriptions provided on Uber Eats, there was no indication whatsoever that either dish contained meat. We had never had Persian food before, so naturally, we relied on the restaurant's own menu descriptions when ordering. What makes this especially frustrating is that the descriptions listed multiple ingredients in each dish while completely omitting the meat. Meat is not a minor garnish or an ingredient customers should be expected to infer--it is a fundamental part of a dish and something customers need to know before ordering, particularly those with dietary restrictions. Worse, one of the vegetarians in our party actually ate some of the food before realizing there was meat in it. They have deliberately maintained a vegetarian diet and would never have knowingly chosen to eat meat, so realizing afterward that they had unknowingly broken that commitment was genuinely upsetting. This could have been avoided by simply including the word "beef" or "meat" in an accurate description of the dish. Everyone had been looking forward to trying the food, but a significant portion of our large order ended up going to waste. Since we ordered late in the evening, the vegetarians in our party were left with essentially nothing to eat and had to settle for chips. The food was genuinely good, which makes this even more disappointing. Accurate menu descriptions are a very basic expectation. Customers should not need prior knowledge of Persian cuisine or have to Google every unfamiliar dish to discover that the restaurant left a major ingredient out of its own description.
