    Baklava.

    Glendale, CA - Great food, ambiance and service. Highly recommend the chicken and lamb chops. Juicy and flavorful. The yogurt and cucumber dip was also very good with the pita. I was hoping there would be more saffron in the rice. The rice was mostly white. Nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it, tablecloth and proper setting. I love how they round tables for easy food sharing. Plenty of parking in their private lot. I liked it but just not sure if the price justified it. The food was delicious but I wouldn't say it's anything unique that I couldn't get in other more affordable Persian restaurants. It was a very nice evening nonetheless with some friends that I haven't seen for a while!

    **1-Star Review: Total Rip-Off - Bug Crawling on My Onion at Pardis! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!** I placed an order from Pardis today expecting decent quality for the insane five-star restaurant prices they're charging--$30+ entrees and everything marked up like it's fine dining. The food itself was actually okay, decent flavor and not bad overall... until I spotted it. A disgusting bug was sitting right on top of the onion in my dish. Not hidden in sauce, not "maybe it's seasoning"--clearly visible, legs and all, just chilling on the fresh onion like it owned the place. I nearly threw up on the spot. For that kind of money, I expect spotless hygiene, not a pest-infested surprise that ruins the entire meal. This isn't a minor oops--this is straight-up negligence. I'm still grossed out hours later. I've already started a chargeback with my bank and I'm filing a report with the health department first thing tomorrow. Save your money. Pardis is charging luxury prices for food that comes with free bugs. Hard pass. Never again. 0/10. Stay far away.

    Great location with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating--clean, tastefully decorated and inviting especially if your hosting a large group as they have a room that seats twenty people. The quality of the food at this wonderful restaurant matches its ambiance, offering an excellent Persian dining experience. We were warmly greeted and promptly served for lunch. The menu features many classic Persian staples including appetizers, kabobs, stews and rice dishes. What sets Pardis apart are the lesser known yet incredibly flavorful options, such as Zeytoon Parvardeh (a tangy and savory appetizer made of olives, pomegranate, walnuts, and herbs), Tahchin (a saffron and yogurt rice cake with chicken), and Chicken Torsh (grilled chicken marinated in walnut purée and pomegranate sauce). Complimentary hot homemade bread was served with herbs and onion. From the start, we were impressed with their bread as it was warm and delicious. For appetizers we ordered Tahdig (crispy rice) with two of the most popular stews: ghormeh sabzi and ghaymeh. Both stews were slightly tangy, which we loved. The tahdig was perfectly crispy and complemented the pronounced flavors of the stews beautifully. We also tried the Koobideh skewers, which came with rice, grilled tomato and pepper. These large ground beef skewers were juicy, tender, and served hot. The Shish Kabob was also tender and juicy, though it lacked the depth of flavor I had hoped for. The highlight, however was the Chicken Torsh--perhaps the juiciest grilled chicken I've ever had. The pomegranate sauce adds a bright, sour note while the walnuts add a rich earthy undertone. It was outstanding!! Don't forget to try the house doogh (a yogurt and mint drink); it is served icy cold and is fantastic. Can't wait to return on a Monday or Wednesday when their Tahchin is served.

    We are glad to have discovered this place in our neighborhood. Pardi's is a clean elegant space and they have a lot of options for dining and can accept large groups. We will come back!

    Had an amazing experience at Pardis! The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. Huge shoutout to Aryan for the incredible service -- super funny, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customers and keeping the vibe positive. Definitely one of the best Persian dining experiences I've had. Highly recommend!

    Polo Zereshk Chicken Barg

    Pardis is my new fave persian restaurant. Tops Raffi's for sure. We had never been and were recommended to go here by someone for a birthday party. We came on a Saturday night and they had the entire table set up and ready for us. The service was good and they brought everything that we asked for. I had never seen before as an option at a persian restaurant - chicken barg. Naturally, I had to order it and asked for zereshk polo for my rice. They put SOOO much zereshk (see photo). I loooved their food. Mast o Moosir was also delicious. Salad Shirazi could've used some salt. Overall, the restaurant was beautiful and food was fantastic. I'd totally come back.

    The presented our food family style upon request.

    This is a nice upscale Persian restaurant. "Bob" our server provided outstanding dinner service through our entire meal. Food was good, we ordered 4 mains and 3 appetizers for our party of 5. Since we were sharing they asked if we'd like the dishes served family style. We ordered: Mast Moosir - this was very light and could have used more shallots. Kashk e Bademjan - they serve it with a healthy sprinkling of fried caramelized onions on top. Not the best I've ever had but good. Zeytoon Parvardeh - this is the BEST of this dish that I've ever eaten. The got this one RIGHT, highly recommend! Koobideh- really light and fluffy, very juicy with good flavor. Not overly charred like some other places. Chicken Barg - juicy white meat chicken with a nice light char. Zereshk Polo - they sprinkled the barberries over one corner of the rice and called it a day. This will probably sound pettily weird but I MIGHT have enjoyed it more if they had mixed it. There's a small parking lot adjacent to the restaurant. There's a back patio but it was too California cold to even try it. I'll be back in the spring to sit on that patio and enjoy other dishes.

    Does the single chicken barg come with rice and condiments?

    Chicken barg comes with rice, a roasted tomato, a roasted pepper, bread (made there), and a bag with onion, mint/ basil, butter, plus sumac.

    Is the meat halal?

    We couldn't find information on their menu or website that says if their food is halal or kosher. So, I would say no to be on the safer side.

Since it was my first time here I asked the person working at the front ( you have to order up front where they then give you a number) some questions regarding the menu. They were supper attentive and friendly. After I ordered I sat outside to people watch which was honestly really nice. Reminded me of Paris. My food came promptly thus after. The Tumeric braised chicken is amaaazzzinggg the chicken is so juicy and falls off the bone. The rice has some sort of crunchiness to it that compliments the entire flavor profile of the dish. The eggplant dip reminded me of the one my grandmother makes, dipped with the chicken made my meal feel really nostalgic. I've been back four times since and never regret it. One of those meals that just makes you feel really good after!

I found this Kabab place which I wanted a non chain restaurant and when we got there, it was perfect. A small family owned restaurant and I would bet that he was the owner. I knew exactly what I wanted and went with the Combo plate of Beef Shish Kabab and Beef Luleh with basmati rice and the Pork Kabab which are actually pork ribs. Really good flavor and pretty tender. I don't find pork dishes to often at Kabab places. It's the main reason I wanted to try this place. The older gentleman was great. He took our order, prepared and cooked our order, and served our order. We ordered the Irka which is an eggplant dip, and he gave us complimentary cucumber yogurt and potato salad.
