I'm so happy we tried this place - it's Westwood quality without having to drive all the way there. We tried their perfectly made kashkebaddmjoon, combo of chicken and beef shish kebab and chicken koobideh for my son. The food was chef's kiss. We parked in the front meter parking but there's valet available. The service was friendly - our waiter was a younger gentleman. The vibe is like a mixture of casual + fancy. Their restrooms are super duper clean - which I really appreciate as a person with ocd. Will definitely be back! Happy Nowrooz!

I used to go to Javan all the time back in the day when the wife and I lived in the neighborhood…read more After moving down to Westchester, we stopped. Recently, we were curious if our old go-to, Javan, was still any good. So, my wife and I dined there. The beef and chicken koobideh entrees were both excellent- so tender and juicy. This weekend, we have some friends visiting from San Francisco. As SF is a fantastic food town in its own right, we suggested two different food options that are better in L.A. than what you'll find up there: Korean BBQ or Persian food. The wife pushed a return to Javan. Alex, the manager, recommended the All Javan Combo for our party of 5. It includes tzatziki, hummus, salad, and flatbread to start followed by beef and chicken koobideh, chicken kabob, filet, lamb, and choice of rice. We added an eggplant stew with lamb shank and an extra skewer of chicken koobideh. Finished the meal off with hot tea, a sublimely-delicious saffron ice cream (house-made by Alex himself), baklava, and little bites that were like honey churro nubs. After we finished this feast of a meal, my daughter looked up at me and said, "This was one of the best Persian meals I've ever had." I must agree. This was a meal greater than the sum of its parts- food was very, very good and the experience was elevated by the warmth of Alex and his staff. It's rare that a restaurant works this hard to make its guests feel welcome. Free street parking and a full-bar (Alex is happy to whip-up a special cocktail for you). I give Javan my highest recommendation. Please eat here if you're in the mood for Persian food. Bon Appétit!

If you're looking for authentic, high-quality Persian food with excellent customer service, I highly recommend Sadaf Restaurant. We'll definitely be coming back!

The beef koobideh and beef barg were not just disappointing they were concerning. The meat tasted off, like it was either going bad or being mixed with old product. That's not a small issue, that's a serious quality and food safety concern. The Shirazi salad has completely lost its authenticity. Instead of the fresh, bright lime/lemon flavor it should have, it tasted like it was tossed in a bottled dressing. Completely unacceptable for a place that used to do this right. The hummus came with bread that was stale and hard, which just adds to the overall lack of care coming out of the kitchen. And then the pricing charging extra for rice and Shirazi salad on top of already $28 plates is excessive and feels like nickel-and-diming customers. It's honestly disappointing to see how far this place has fallen. Between the drop in food quality, lack of freshness, and inflated pricing, I won't be returning.

There is something wrong with them and they keep banging on each other or something, most of the time when people pass through.

Only negative for us was feeling some pressure to upgrade the sides to our dishes (options to upgrade the salad and rice); we upgraded the rice and didn't necessarily enjoy the upgraded rice with cranberries and think the base options may have been preferable. Really enjoyed the included house salad! If you may know you have a preference for one of the upgrades it may be nice to have the options, otherwise, I would not hesitate to stick with the base which is delicious.
