    Koobideh

    I recently visited Pardis in Glendale and had an absolutely incredible experience. Everything from the ambiance to the food was spot on. The Venue: The space is beautiful, immaculately clean, and the tables and chairs give it a genuinely elevated feel. They have a fantastic "outdoor" seating area in the back. I say "outdoor" because it's completely covered, meaning you get a great breeze while staying completely protected from the sun during the day or the draft on a chilly evening. They even had a TV set up back there for the World Cup matches, which was an awesome touch. The Service: The customer service here is top-notch. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I had a few questions about the menu, and they were happy to walk me through the items with genuine enthusiasm--I never felt rushed or like I was annoying them. I also had a chance to chat with Arman (who I believe is the owner), and he could not have been more pleasant or hospitable. The Food: Absolutely amazing. I like to test a place on the basics first, because if a restaurant can't nail the fundamentals, they can't nail anything. Pardis crushed it. The hummus and pita were perfect--the pita was uniquely crispy and flaky. The Koobideh kebab was spectacular: incredibly moist and juicy without being undercooked. Accompanied by great rice and perfectly grilled tomato and pepper sides, it was a flawless meal. Highly recommend Pardis if you're looking for fantastic food and a welcoming, upscale yet comfortable atmosphere. I'd definitely come back for myself or if I'm entertaining guests from out of town.

    I had not been here for a few years , and I had heard the quality went down over the years but I guess they have a new management now so we decided to give it a try on last Saturday night. We ordered Kashk Bademjan for the appetizer and it was delicious but a bit cold. We ordered one soltani, and one lamb chop to share for 3 of us. I was so impressed by the quality of their food. Specially the lamb chop and the koobideh was my most favorite. Koobideh was so close to what we have in Iran and this is so hard to find in LA! We really enjoyed everything here and the service was good too. We sat in the patio and it was really nice . I really hope the quality stays like this

    Such a great restaurant with great food and service. Aryan B was such a lovely waiter. So on top of things, so welcoming, & so kind. We will definitely be back here with our family.

    I'm a little late making this review but wanted to make sure they got their praise. I came here for Mother's Day with my boyfriend and mom and the service off the bat was amazing. They were so welcoming and they were very accommodating with my pup. This is a great spot for date night or family dinner. The food exceeded my expectations. You can tell they take pride in their cooking and use high quality ingredients. I'll definitely be coming back!

    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.

    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.

You are welcomed with basket of pita served with accompaniment of butter, radish, raw onion and mint. I always have to resist eating too much pita cause it's so good! We always order the cornish chicken kabab and beef soltani. The chicken is marinated so well with yogurt and spices and charred to perfection. Each piece of chicken is sooo tender (yes even the breast!) If you don't know what to order get this!! It is my favorite on the menu.

TLDR: Hear me out, if you have any doubt about chicken being less superior to beef or other meat. TRY the chicken thigh here. It makes justice for chickens (I still need to try their beef or lamb tho) I was running errands in Glendale today and I was starving and looking for lunch spots around. Turns out Mini Kabob was 3 mins walk away, it was a no brainer, my feet just took me there. Didn't expect to go there, so didn't order ahead but I'm fine with waiting. After last time's magnificent chicken thigh, I was determined to try their other entrees. However, Armen said the chicken thigh is the best seller out of their entrees- well, time for a round 2 I guess? This time I'm eating the entree at the spot and I just gotta say- IT SLAPS!! I'm genuinely not a big fan of chicken, because when you can choose beef why chicken? But this chicken is so juicy, so tender, so heavenly. Yummy!! The garlic sauce is great but the hummus and the fresh lavash, h o l y - f. Last time it was already so good even as a leftover, and eating it right at the spot is just transcending. I also tried their Armenian pear soda, it's delicious and refreshing with the heat right now in summer. I left with my tummy happy and their service is always great, they get busy but still no attitude, no bs, gives the right recommendations. Even this is like a take out restaurant, it still surpasses most of the kabob restaurant. Without doubt I'm coming back again after their break, please be there. I love you mini kabob

Chicken was tender but slightly on the drier side which was a bit surprising considering it was dark meat (6.5/10) Kofteh Tabrizi - The tomato taste was prominent in the broth but the meatball itself was overly salty. The flavor was one note, I can't see myself ordering this again as I've heard this dish should have more complex flavors so I was disappointed (5.5/10) Kotlet Plate - As you can see from my picture, the kotlet was burnt beyond repair and I could taste the bitterness from the overused oil they used to fry it.
