Hanging out with the Persians in Westwood
Crystal G.

Went to Westwood to see my Persian best friend he loves hookah. I am not a big fan of hookah lounges. My days of inhaling smoke in my lungs are over. My request was a healthy restaurant. If you order right the food is delicious and healthy well besides the smoke. I would've given them a complete five stars but my biggest pet peeve is commercials. I don't want to hear your Spotify commercials at your restaurant. Ambience is everything it's just a couple more dollars for a straight vibe..

Chicken Kabob
Mandro E.

Always a solid quick option when I'm in Westwood. Perfect for meeting friends and the food is always delicious. The chicken kebab and steak sandwich are my longtime favorites. Service is always great and everyone's friendly.

Amazing food and excellent service! The kebab is very delicious and flavorful! The person at the front desk was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive

chicken kabob

Ordered through ubereats, since they have a bogo promotion on a couple of their items. I got the chicken kabob and the dolma. It arrived at my door well packaged and warm. The dolma was nice, little bites of rice wrapped in grape leaves that give you a bit of savory, a bit of sour, and bit of freshness. I don't think I'd get it normally at the price point listed on the ubereats app (about $11), but it's not bad. The chicken kabob plate came with some salad, cucumber, a nice bed of rice, and a tomato, as well as a slice of lemon. The chicken was perfectly cooked, plump and juicy, though it could've been a bit more flavorful. The bit of salad was also surprisingly nice with the house dressing. The lemon added a nice bit of contrast to everything. Overall, a bit pricey, but not bad.

Got the lamb koobideh plate and the meat was so so delicious and flavorful. Comes with a half salad that does not skimp either. Fresh spring greens, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and beets!! With a yummy dill yogurt sauce I also used to dip the meat. Big portions I ended up splitting for two meals. PARKING/ metered only

Salmon Kabob
Jessica M.

This place had a nice vibe, decor, and outside eating area. They serve big portions and have a great value during lunch time. Their lunch offers half portions which are still large. The food was fresh and prepared well. Absolutely loved their hummus it's a must have. Service was wonderful staff and helpful, accommodating, and friendly. I would have given this restaurant 5 stars but the flavors were missing from the food I would have liked more seasoning everything was bland in my opinion. They don't offer enough sauces I would love to see more variety.

One of my favorite Persian places on Westwood! Their chicken kabobs are incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the beef kabobs are equally delicious. It's hands down one of the best places for Persian food. Plus, the service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend!

Started ordering to go here a few days ago and I am hooked! Every time I call in for request like extra dressing / fish on side etc. they're super kind and follow it Food is fresh and tasty They aren't stringy with their portions it's a nice amount to get full on. Things they need to improve on- I just wish they would be a bit more generous with the feta cheese on the Greek salad... I feel like it's definitely needs more White dressing has sugar- it's way too sweet and very odd. I'm very confused why they add sugar The Greek dressing is too acidic - very strong. Feels a bit when not proportional. Over all very happy. I hope they'll take my feedback into consideration. Itl rly make things better

Bottle shown for 5 bucks. I got a can
Victoria K.

Ordered online for my husband via Uber Eats. The food was nicely presented but what irritated me was the dessert I ordered. In the picture it was a square cute in half, two triangles. I only received one triangle so HALF. It was placed right in the center of a huge plastic container: it wasn't the delivery driver because it's so wet that it would have been an imprint from the other. It was only the one I lifted. Not cool for almost 8 DOLLARS! Then I ordered a regular bottle of coke like the picture advertised. I got a can FOR 5 DOLLARS. I don't like that. I DO NOT TRUST THEM SO I WILL NEVER ORDER AGAIN

Lamb Shank
Debbie L.

One of our favorite late night spots. The lamb shank is huge and cooked to perfection, and the kebabs are always delicious. Their barley soup is a must order!! The side of sumac puts it over the top. While I do wish the rice was more flavorful, it gets the job done. I've never tried hookah here but have dined in, plus we get takeout at least every other week. It's always poppin' inside though! No matter what day or time.

Huge portions on the chicken kabob (rice, salad) with an equally huge price. First and last bite of chicken lovely, tender, and flavorful. Some might think the breast is too dry, but this is as good as it gets for white meat.

I finally had the chance to stop in for a solo early dinner, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. I ordered the Lule Kabob Combo ($22), which included skewers of minced beef and chicken, rice, veggies, pita, hummus, and a side salad. The highlights of the meal were definitely the salad and the grilled tomato; the pomegranate seeds in the rice were also a nice touch. However, the meats weren't to my taste--the chicken had an odd aftertaste, and while the beef was better, neither really worked for me. Adding the provided sumac and lemon helped, but I wouldn't order the kebabs again. Additionally, the hummus lacked creaminess, and the pita tasted like it was mass-produced rather than fresh. On the positive side, the portion sizes are very generous for the price point, and I left feeling full. I also have to mention that the patio is adorable and very "Instagrammable," so it's a great spot if you're looking for a photo-friendly environment. A quick note for future visitors: they are currently having issues with their card reader and are requesting cash or Zelle. It felt a little unusual to be rung up on a register only to pay via Zelle, but it wasn't a major deal. While I appreciated the atmosphere and value, the food itself just wasn't for me, so I likely won't be returning.

The plate also came with hummus and pita, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hummus was smooth, rich, and perfect with the warm pita. Hermon helped recommend our food, cooked it, and even served us. She was so kind and made the whole experience feel really personal. She also offered us complimentary baklava, which was amazing. It had the most soft, chewy texture with just enough sweetness. When I asked her what the secret ingredient was, she just smiled and said she couldn't spoil it so you'll have to try it for yourself! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

One thing you absolutely cannot skip is the edamame hummus. I had never even heard of edamame hummus before coming here, and now I can't believe I went so long without trying it.

The only small downside is that the kabobs do not come with pita bread. And, When I ordered the steak kabob, a waiter asked me how I wanted the meat cooked, and I requested it well-done but asked him not to over-char it. However, some parts of the meat came out too charred, so I had to cut those parts off before eating it.
