hole in the wall but very clean and quiet inside. I went here for lunch and the service was a bit slower since there was one lady working there (possibly manager? owner? couldn't tell). Their stuffed grapes with sour yogurt dipping sauce was awesome. My date and I shared two entrees as well. I ordered the lamb kabob and found it to be on the moist and tender side (but not super succulent). The lady ordered some sort of beer stew dish that was delish. The warm and hearty soup went really well with their flavored rice. read more

Yikes - hate to go against the flow on this one but what a disappointing meal. Arrived on Monday at approx. 4:00pm for dinner. The owner(?) was standing on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant smoking. He did wash his hands before he escorted us to a table but still - yucky yucky. My husband and I were the only diners. There was a table full of dirty dishes next to us that was eventually cleared but the old food/dirty dishes had obviously been there for some time. The menus were filthy as was the sticky floor. Lentil soup was great as was the yoghurt/garlic dip but the wine we requested was not available and ditto for the dessert. Won't be back! read more

I love this place. We pick up food here often and it's never disappointing. The rice is amazing and the chicken dishes are my favorite. The dishes are huge and can feed at least 2 people. It's a nice relaxing place to eat in too, but we usually take it home. read more

Their portion size was enormous. I ordered the beef Kabob and chicken kabob and that could have very well feed two people happily.

So disappointed...I want the same meal "to go" that I have when I eat there. So if I pay the same price...why can't I get my salads too?? I spent $75 for 4 entrees and 1 appetizer but no salad? My waitress asked the owner for an exception but he said no. They just lost 4 customers!!! read more

I always heard many good things about this place, and finally had the pleasure of try it out for myself for the first time last night. I must say this is one of the best middle eastern restaurants I've been to all over SoCal. It's true the food is A1 and they have great variety of food and appetizers on their menu. We ordered the dolma and the soltani dish. The dolma come with top quality lebni (yogurt) and for the soltani dish you get to customize which two type of kabobs you want. I got the chicken filet and koobideh. So tender and juicy! Amazing amazing amazing!!! I was craving kabob so bad and I must say satisfaction guaranteed. I'm a happy customer and will always return to them for my kabob cravings. So happy they're close to home and even if you're not in the area I promise you it's worth the drive. Everything was great from service to time of wait to the quality of food. Thank you Olive Branch!!! read more

Terrible restaruant ! The food was extremly plain, service was slow, decor was treacherous. Very overpriced for the overall quality food and service. I would not recommend this establishment !!!!!! read more

This place has the worse customer service I've ever experienced in my life! I went here one evening for the first time and stood there for 15 mins and no one offered to assist me. They saw me and kept walking past. They were not busy at all. It felt a little prejudice because they were helping others who did not appear to be of the same descent as myself. Then I looked up and there was a sign above the cash register that read "We have the right to refuse anyone service." So that was my cue to leave. When I left out someone was coming in who again was not of my descent and I saw them help them. I would not recommend this place to anyone! The rudest place I've ever been. This place deserves 0 stars but Yelp will not let you post without selecting at least one star. read more

Oh my goodness. Where to start with this place. I was introduced to it by my nina Onie. I was like 8 or 9. I fell in love with it. Been ordering and going there ever since. My fiancée and I love it. Great quality, great prices, great service! The ambience is very nice . They play nice music and I think weekends they have a live musician. Their portions are big so it's recommended to Share if your not a big eater. But, if your appetite is a big one the plate of kebabs and rice would be good. I always order the exotic berry rice that comes with chicken kebabs, which is fantastic! Enough about rating it. It is a must go to spot ! I totally recommend it ! read more

This is an EXCELLENT Persian restaurant. The service is excellent if you are dining in and the pick up service is equally efficient. It's pricier than Sevan Chicken but has better selection and is well worth the extra money. My boyfriend and I went there for dinner and finished eating just before they had a live band play some Persian music. I highly recommend this place! read more

Couldn't say enough good things about this place. The service is not the quickest but always friendly. The food is excellent though. The orange rice, the cherry rice, the lamb, beef, Cornish hen kabob, the cucumber yogurt dip, eggplant caramelized onion dip, the feta, olive, tomato appetizer with pita bread, mint, onion, radishes, etc. I love eating here. read more

Ate my Christmas Eve dinner here. I was so happy I did. Very nicely decorated and food was great. I highly recommend this place.

I love this place. The Persian food their is the best in the area. The mast o musir is the best anywhere.

Food is OK. Not my favorite, but if I'm in the neighborhood...why not! There is a good selection of kabobs and other dishes. Prices are above average. Service is good. On some nights there is live music. Food portions are just right unlike other places, where they stuff rice on your plate. read more

Tasty stews, ok kabobs, homey atmosphere, portions became smaller & smaller over the years and prices went up, we appreciate the innovative tofu ghormeh sabzy. Their eggplant kash-o Bademjoon was tasty. Deserts are nice as well. I went there 2.5 years ago and hope the quality hasn't gone further down. read more

I only give it 4 stars for the dated look of the restaurant, other than that the food is really good and the lady who served us was very sweet. read more

This restaurant is a neighborhood gem. Nice staff and very good food.

Their Tah-dig stews are unbelievable. I recommend their ghormeh Sabzi and fesenjoon stews. Their prices are ok but good choice for weekend lunch or dinner. read more

Still decent food and it is the only choice around here for Persian but it is always hot in their it has flies like crazy the current owner has ruined the decor from the last owner and the two younger employees one big guy and one female could care less to work it is as if their parents are forcing them too not going back ever very sad read more

Best Mediterranean food in the area. Never disappointed. Their Chicken Kebab is always my go to. Great place. Give them a try.

A good Persian restaurant. They have really good ghormey sabzi, zereshk polo, beef barg, beef koobideh, and ashe reshteh soup. I also like the fact that they are diet friendly, although I really love their rice, they offer a salad substitute to go with their meats (which is a good change of pace from time-to-time). My only complaint is that their boneless chicken kabob was really dry and flavorless when I tried it. read more

my friend and i decided to go here for our girls night out. The place was really clean and our waiter was really nice and friendly.the food was awesome i got the barg and my friend got the chicken breast . we were both veryyy pleased with olive branch. We will definitely go there again ! read more
