    Soltani Kebab
    Michael K.

    With so many Persian restaurants in the valley, choosing one can be tough -- but whether you're a lifelong fan or trying the cuisine for the first time, Nersses is worth a visit. The barg and koobideh were flavorful, the bread was freshly made, and the saffron rice was light and fragrant. Parking in that area of Glendale can be tricky, but Nersses has a small lot, and there's usually street parking close by. Great food, fair prices, and solid service... can't ask for much more than that.

    My Persian friend told me about this restaurant and couldn't stop raving about it. I finally tried it, and he was right! This restaurant serves some delicious and amazing food! For appetizers we had the yogurt and cucumber dip and the eggplant dip. $9 each and it was served with bread, butter, raw onions, and basil. Delightful! My table mate and I wanted the lamb chops, boneless chicken, and luleh kabob (ground beef). The waiter created a dish with these three offerings. All three meats were absolutely delicious! My toes curled it was so good! I orders the yogurt drink with gas. Refreshing. Yogurt and cucumber: B Eggplant: B+ Chicken boneless: A+ Lamb Chops: A+ Ground beef: B+ Service was outstanding: A This is going to be one of my regular places to visit. Delicious!

    Excellent food here. Plate of raw onion and basil set out first. Our Soltani Kabob and Luleh Kabob plates were enormous. We probably should've just split one. They were both delicious. Meats were tender and flavorful. Rice was awesome. The fresh bread was warm, and great. Service was good. The restaurant is in a 3 store corner mall, so the parking is really tight (lot is shared by a liquor store, a pizza place, a bar, and the restaurant). The inside is fairly basic but nice old photographs on the wall. Highly recommend.

    Juicy and flavorful meat and their freshly hot taftan bread with the onion on the table was the perfect pairing. I liked that they gave a lemon to squeeze on my chicken kabob too- made it extra tasty. It's a small, cozy spot in Glendale. Good place to go without any fuss. The food definitely speaks for itself!

    tried a little bit of everything pictured and overall it was a good spot for persian food. i would skip the stews and order the appetizers and kabob. there's a couple parking spots as its in a small shopping center

    One serving

    Hubby picked this place on our way to LA. It's a very small establishment in a very small corner "mall". Luckily, we got the last parking spot on the lot. There was only one table occupied when we walked in around 7pm on a Wednesday. Waiter is friendly and gives us a run down on all the kabobs. Hubby ordered the soup (Dizi) and three kabobs entrees for the 4 of us. They put the kabobs in the middle on a pizza stand. Then, they brought three plates of basmati rice. We then realized they put all three entrees onto one plate. It's shocking to see how small is the serving size of all three combined entrees. For a mom and pop shop setting, they are charging the nice restaurant pricing. Aside from the serving size and pricing, I would say the food does taste pretty good. It's similar to Shalizaar in Belmont, CA that is close to our home. I could only give it three stars as the food, serving size, and ambience do not equate to its high price. I would pass on this.

    The only place with fresh bread in the area... the dizi is amazing on rainy days. Only place I go for Persian from now on.

The combo kabob platter with an upgrade of the filet was absolutely delicious. It's the next night that I'm writing this review but I'm still thinking of the tender meat and when I can go back to have it again. I always highly recommend their bulgur pilaf they do it so well. We also had the chicken shawarma platter. Each of these comes with a choice of a salad or hummus so we'll both got their fattoush salad because it's impeccable. And also ordered their jalapeño salad (it may be off of the menu but they still have it available) as well as their cheese borags. The pomegranate margarita was also amazing. Before I end my review I'd like to mention the beautiful renovation that has taken place since I've last been there. Not only have they spent a lot of money but the design was superb. It's super classy and it fit our date night perfectly. Thank you for having consistency and great quality food. See you soon!

It looks like they probably do a lot of take out. They have a nice outdoor patio area. The menu is large with standard shawarma items, but also the flat bread stuff too. We got a lamb shawarma wrap, a chicken shawarma sandwich and a beef bowl along with a couple of lahmajun and a fresh baguette and baklava. Everything was excellent! The lamb was incredible, very tender and flavorful in a nice lavaosh. The chicken had great seasoning and the fresh bread was so good. Both were very large, like almost too much for one person. The bowl had pickles and great flavors. The lahmajun with cheese was my favorite but both were very good. The workers were friendly and helpful. It was our first time so we were asking questions and they were happy to help. We asked for more sauce and a couple things and they were great.

Any one of these people could've hopped on the second register to help me but no one did. Even an older gentleman who I suspect is an owner. Went behind the counter several times to put kabobs on the grill for him and some friends but couldn't stop for two minutes to take my order. If I can't trust you guys to take my order in a timely manner, why am I spending my hard earned money at your establishment when I have very little time to eat my lunch to begin with?

It's good for small groups, special occasions, or dates. I think it's a bit too pricey for families where young children won't appreciate the quality and cost. I'm giving this a ok rating because of three things I experienced, which might just have been me and doesn't represent other's experience: 1. I ordered the hummus and pita bread appetizer that only came with 4 bite sized pieces of bread. It might have added up to less than half a pita bread. For the price and the amount of hummus it came with, I thought that was a rip off. Just imagine you come here with a party of 4. That would mean each person gets one bite of pita bread and hummus. Ridiculous for anyone who doesn't eat like dwarf hamster. 2. Some food dishes came out fast. Others slow. No consideration for timing of dishes. For a nice restaurant like Monna, I just expected them to have that awareness. I was also surprised the drinks I ordered and water came out after the appetizer despite ordering the drinks first. Must have been a slip on their part. It didn't help that I was especially thirsty. 3. When the server came to my table, he was excellent. Friendly, patient, and professional. But the issue was how infrequently he came around. And they were not busy when I dined here. In fact, I was one of the few customers in the entire restaurant and I had to often wave the server down whenever I wanted to order something or get the check. It makes me wonder how they do on busy nights. I still recommend Monna. They have beautiful interior design and it's in a great part of town. I just had higher expectations.
