We were asked to wait 15 minutes to be seated due to a kitchen delay, which we understood. Unfortunately, even after we ordered, the food took a long time to arrive and was fairly underwhelming. It also seemed like other guests were receiving more attentive service, which made the experience feel inconsistent. Overall, nothing about the visit stood out in a positive way, and we're not particularly excited about returning. read more

At the time, there were numerous empty tables inside and on the patio. While we were being turned away, and after we left, we observed multiple parties who appeared to be Caucasian being seated. We were the only minority party present. Based on what we witnessed, we were left with the strong impression that we were treated differently. If every table was truly reserved beginning at 7:00 p.m., it is difficult to understand why other parties were still being seated while we were denied service. No explanation beyond "we're fully booked" was provided. Given the seriousness of what we experienced, we intend to formally pursue this matter through the appropriate channels. We also hope management reviews its reservation records and any available surveillance footage from that evening to determine exactly what occurred and ensure that every guest is treated fairly and with respect.

My friends and I were recommended this spot by another friend, and it certainly did not disappoint. We were able to try out their Dine LA menu, and everything about this experience wowed us all. From the moment we arrived, we were immediately greeted by the hostess, who went out of her way to move some reservations around to better seat our party (we had 3 people but were only able to book a reservation for 2). I really appreciated this gesture, as well as the friendly and attentive service we received throughout the evening. We were seated on their beautiful outdoor patio, though it seems like you can't go wrong with either indoor or outdoor seating. Now, onto the FOOD: Caesar Salad: 5/5 Damn, I really wish all Caesar Salads could taste like this. Fresh, crunchy romaine drizzled with a spicy Caesar dressing and topped with toasted breadcrumbs - simple, but done very well. I really liked how tangy the dressing was! Chicken Parm: 5/5 First of all, can we take a moment to appreciate the massive portion? The chicken cutlet was perfectly breaded and fried, and the crispy exterior was nicely contrasted by the velvety, decadent vodka sauce and generous layer of melted cheese. I couldn't finish it all and had to take some of it home, which ended up being a delicious meal the next day. Meyer Lemon Pie: 4/5 I love pie, I love lemons, and I love lemon pie done well. The tartness of the Meyer lemons really shone and cut through the sweetness to create a perfectly balanced dessert. The dollop of whipped cream on top definitely tasted like it was freshly whipped in-house. Although the whipped cream tasted a tad bit salty, I still enjoyed and devoured it all. I just wish the portion were a little bigger since it was so yummy! Parking: There is a small parking lot out front, though it seems to fill up quickly in the evenings/on the weekends. Thankfully, we were able to find street parking pretty easily. My friends and I all raved about our experience here, especially for the $45 Dine LA price tag. I can't wait to come back!

I've ordered from Toranj probably ten times now, which should tell you two things immediately. I…read morelike this place and I'm sufficiently confused by it that I've apparently been conducting a small longitudinal study. This is strictly a delivery review. I haven't eaten inside yet. And for delivery, they do a surprising number of things very well. The food arrives hot. Portions are generous. The hummus and other sides I've tried have generally been good and when that Juicy Chicken earns its name, it is excellent. Tender, deeply flavored, properly grilled, the sort of thing that makes you immediately understand why people love this place. Then you order again. And somehow the same chicken can arrive dry and scorched. The rice that was beautiful last time can be a little too al dente. The grilled vegetables can go from pleasantly blistered to looking like they survived a small structural fire. Look at the photos. I like char. Char is flavor. But there is a point where char becomes carbon and Toranj occasionally crosses the border without showing its passport. That's really my problem here, consistency. When Toranj is good, I think it's very good. The seasoning is there. The portions are unusually generous. The ingredients feel substantial rather than cheap. Even after delivery, there are moments when you open the container and think, damn, they nailed this. But ordering shouldn't feel quite this much like spinning a wheel. Will tonight's chicken be succulent or dry? Will the vegetables be beautifully grilled or cremated? Will the rice be right? At this price point, after this many orders, I shouldn't still be wondering. I also wish the plates were composed a little more generously beyond meat and rice. You get plenty of food, so this isn't a complaint about quantity. It's more that once you want vegetables, hummus, yogurt or something else to round everything out, you start building the meal through additional sides, and the bill climbs pretty quickly. And yet, I'm going to order again. That may be the most useful thing I can say about Toranj. There's a genuinely good restaurant in here. On its best nights, maybe a great neighborhood one. I'm rooting for them because the South Bay could use more places like this and because I've already eaten enough excellent food from this kitchen to know what they're capable of. I just want to stop crossing my fingers before opening the container. 3 stars today. There's a 4 star restaurant sitting right underneath it if they can make Tuesday taste like Saturday.
