This place is delicious! We were invited over for a family gathering lunch event after a baptism. We were a pretty big party of at least 30-50 people and where we sat was an outside patio, very spacious and nicely decorated. Our server bob as well as other co-workers handled the service top notch and were very accommodating to us and all the attendees. The party portions are huge, almost like platers coming with different choices of meats, veggies & rice. If anyone is looking for great service & big family platters, this place is a great choice to try. read more

Best persian food in LA! Great koobideh, chicken with bone and barg. The bread was unbelievable and the kashk bademjoon! Bob did a very good job and was very welcoming, attentive and fun! Will be back. read more

Food is delicious!! Bob was our server and he was kind and very welcoming. Great customer service. The restaurant is very clean. We will definitely be going back. read more

Excellent service. Great place to entertain or take a date. Our first time here. We ordered the lamb chops with rice, the lamb shank dish, their special soup, and an eggplant appetizer. Portions were generous. Everything was top notch. Did I mention the house bread was amazing too? Our waiter was also attentive and pleasant. The restaurant ambience was classy but understated, not so busy and crazy like Raffis. Can't wait to be back! read more

The food is so good, and I love Bob. I recommend getting Bob's special drink. Service was great. Highly recommend.

We had placed an order on New Year's Eve for 8:00 pick up , the food was not ready till 9:45 , there were several angry customers with me in the store. When we got back the order was not complete and the food quality / quantity was beyond unacceptable for our now hungry guests We called the following day to speak to the manager they were avoiding the calls , they finally gave us a date and time to come in person and speak to the manager. When we went at the designated time the person who said he was the manager avoided all questioning and told us to come back next week when the " general main manager" is available. Beyond unprofessional and unacceptable read more

We had a very nice lunch here. Staff members are very pleasant and the food is fantastic. I'm not from the area and I was visiting friends. I'll certainly recommend going back when I'm in the area again. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Pardis - Our Friends 30th Birthday Party! - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Glendale, California

One of the best persian restaurant experiences we have had, and we are a half persian family so we are comparing it to persian homecoming. This is also a beautiful restaurant and a really wonderful patio and garden area for great outdoor eating. The bread and beef koobideh and barg is some of the best we have had, really quality meat. The staff were so caring and nice, the best! read more

Unfortunately, this restaurant is not consistent. They keep changing the quality of their meets. It is a big hit or miss.

Growing up in Glendale I've tried plenty of Mediterranean food from all over but here at Pardis has to be one of my top 3 choices! First off, their portions are huge and price is reasonable for the amount of food they give you. Secondly, you can taste the quality and care in their food. Kabobs were all juicy and flavorful. I ordered their veggie plater and it came with falafel along with other amazing veggie sides. Their house made salad dressing is out of this world! Lastly, what made our experience so memorable was our server Bob. He is very tentative and makes sure you're satisfied and happy with their product. Thank goodness for Bob as he is the best host I have ever encountered with! I'll definitely be coming back when I'm in town! read more

I have dined here many times and I often order the lentil soup when I'm not feeling well and pick it up. I love whitefish entree their bread and their cocktails. It's so nice to have a full bar in that neighborhood. read more

We love Pardis. There is nothing bad about this place. Food always cooked in perfection. Nice service and the ambiance is great

Great service but terrible food. We were so disappointed, and the food was cold. This was our Christmas gathering. We will never go there again. read more

Everything great, food delicious, service good, prices nice BUT indoor smell of cleaning solution kills it..

Pardis was a great experience, especially on New Years! The waiters showed the upmost respect no question about it. However parking was scarce, fair to say it was very busy, regardless parking was a minor issue. The restaurant itself was quite neat and clean, very tidy. Now the food was absolutely mouthwatering, every ingredient and spice was on point. Overall very impressed. Will definitely be returning. read more

My son's home from college for the summer. A since I had COVID on Father's Day he wanted to take his grandpa out to lunch today. I thought he'd want to go somewhere closer to home. Nope, he wanted to go to Pardis. He said, "Mom, I know it's far, but the food is SO GOOD!" I said "Okay!" We went to pick up my dad and we were off to Glendale. We got there a little after 1pm. The parking lot near the fish market was packed, but I was able to find a spot. We went to the back patio but the entry was closed. I could see a few people dining through the gate. We walked around to the front door. I'd never been inside the dining room before. It was nice! They had a fully stocked bar, a private dining room, and several tables with & without booths. All tables donned white linen table cloths. Nice! My "HANGRY" son wanted to sit at a booth! He knew what he wanted and couldn't wait. Our server came over and got our drink order. My son and dad had a Sprite and I had an ice tea. My son also ordered a lentil soup. The bread arrived and the plate with butter, basil, and red onion. While we were waiting, some random tall blonde lady appeared and asked us what brought us to the restaurant. "FOOD!" I told her that my son wanted to come, as we'd been here several time in the last year + but we usually eat on the back patio. No! We do not live near Glendale and we past several Middle Eastern restaurant on our way here, but my son LOVES their Lamb Shank. I'm not sure who this lady was and why she inquired about our dining choice. Maybe because we were "OBVIOUSLY NOT" MIDDLE EASTERN and since were were AFRICAN AMERICAN, she had to know WHY we wanted to spend our time and money there. She was nice and commented about my son's Lakers t-shirt and how she used to see them at the Forum! As quietly as she appeared, she quietly disappeared. Never saw her again throughout our entire dining time there. There was however an OLDER Middle Eastern lady who was sitting at a table near us, she STARED at us the ENTIRE time she was there. It kinda made my son UNCOMFORTABLE, as it did not BOTHER me! I told him that whatever she has in her mind that is causing her not to enjoy her meal is "HER PROBLEM!" Don't let her RUDE OGLING ruin his meal! He is a GOOD LOOKING young man and my dad is a handsome fella! Perhaps she was SMITTEN by their LOOKS! I'm 57 years old, my dad is 83, and my son is 20. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and my parents are from Louisiana. My parents ALWAYS taught us to be open minded with other cultures and their food. They had FRIENDS from all types of cultures. The potluck parties of the 70's & 80's were some of the best culinary experiences! We were EXPOSED to so many things growing up! I have taught my son the same. So, if you want a good meal and have the money to pay for it! GO GET IT! You can GO ANYWHERE! We started with appetizers trio with Yogurt, Hummus, and Picked Veggies! My dad and son had the Lamb Shank with rice. My dad had a side salad. I had the Salmon Kebab with Rice. My son RAVED about his Lentil Soup. He said is was very HEARTY and THICK! It wasn't watered down like you find at most places. My dad had no MERCY on his lamb shank. There was NOTHING left on his bone. He enjoyed the rice and salad too! My son ate half of his lamb shank. After having the soup, bread, and appetizers, it filled him up. My salmon was cooked perfect. I love when the salmon skin is CRISPY. Delicious! My son and I took home a doggie bag and my dad's plate was CLEANED! Great meal and again we'll worth the drive of 6 freeways (405/10/110/5/2/134). We'll be back! read more

Our server, Bob, was the key to our very enjoyable evening. We were not in a hurry, and he gave us all the time we needed. Even made some great recomendations, since we hadn't dined there before. Our drink order was a little different than expected, but still okay. I'll layt that on the bartender. Good food. Great service. Will definitely go back again. read more

I was definitely surprised by how great this restaurant is! I'm a bit late to review but definitely worth the review. On Mother's Day, my mother in law was craving lule kabob, we struck out with Raffis as they were all sold out for the day, we found this location on Yelp and WOW!!! Their service is amazing, their kabob is delicious and their prices are great!!! We have been coming back here regularly for dine in and takeout! We rave about this restaurant to our friends and family and always order their family combo special. It's perfect for a little gathering and you definitely get what you pay for. Everyone is always pleased and satisfied! Glad to have found our favorite kabob restaurant! read more

This was our second time at Paradis. The first time was a quick lunch at 4 o'clock on a Sunday and the place was empty and service and food were great. Today, we had a reservation for seven people at 1:30 and we were placed in their private room. We ordered some appetizers and those arrived fairly quickly. We placed our order 15 min after seating and our food did not arrive till 2:30. Our waiter had stated that the food would take 25-30 minutes but he disappeared for a while and finally when we asked where the food was, he said it was almost ready. The food arrived and the rice was nice and hot but it was obvious that the kabob had been sitting there for a while as the meats and the tomatoes were cold. I mentioned this to the waiter, and all he offered was an apology. Thor food was great albeit cold, but service could have been better and cold kabob is never anything to brag about. read more

Pardis - a large platter of food on a wooden table - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Glendale, California

Well where do I begin all I have to say very disappointing the food was undercooked the manager came by to ask how was the food I told him it's undercooked he just looked at me and said I am sorry. Do something about it I will not go back to this place. read more

1st of all do not attempt to order "zereshk polo & morgh" it's a whole Cornish hen fried and placed whole on the plate (disgusting) with yellowish rice & minimal zereshk !!! prepared very unprofessionally , that's not representative of the actual food , the rice was dry & cold and butter would not even melt . . . lamp chops : they just looked liked lamp chops , cold & uncooked , not marinated at all . . . . the sabzi polo which comes with Salmon is not made with fresh greens , it tastes like the packaged dried up kind. Absolute disaster. . . . everything is over priced , environment is cold & unfriendly. DO NOT waste your money read more

This is the most authentic Persian restaurant I have been to! This is legit! They have sour beef, kaleh pacheh, all the staples that you don't normally find at restaurants. Everything we had was delicious and service was right on. You can ask for your food to be brought out family style (rice separate from the meat) or as individual plates. I am so excited to have good Persian food in Glendale again as some of the other popular restaurants in the area have become overpriced for very mediocre in authentic food. I can't wait to come back here! read more

Absolutely dreadful experience. Waited an eternity for our food to arrive, and when it finally did, it was lukewarm at best. Save your time and money folks. This place clearly has no regard for customer satisfaction or punctuality. Bad spot don't come here very wack read more

Pardis - Soltani Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Glendale, California

This was the 2nd time I had been here. I will be going for the 3rd time. Our server must have been new (she got lost for a long while). The portions are huge. The flavors on most of the dishes we ordered were spot on. One of the persons in our party ordered the lamb shank it needed more flavor perhaps salt. Atmosphere was great...outdoor and indoor seating. Thank you for playing the music softly so your patrons can have a conversation during dinner and yet hear the music. read more

The thinly sliced filet mignon is absolutely delicious here (Barg kabob), seasoned nicely without it being too salty. It pairs really with the generous amounts of zereshk rice, with grilled onions and peppers to add that nice clean and savory taste. The hummus also have pristine taste, especially when paired with their Persian flatbread. Add sumac seasoning as needed and it's a nutritious and satisfying meal! read more

Beautiful atmosphere, helpful and welcoming staff. We brought our 60lb American Staffordshire Terrior and the staff was so accommodating to him. They start by serving you In-House fresh baked bread with butter, herbs, n onion on the side. We then ordered the Ashe as our appetizer which is one of the best I have had. Lastly the Koobideh literally melts in your mouth and the servings are more than enough to satisfy your hunger. Will definitely be coming back! I would skip the cheesecake though but other than that all the Persian Food was delicious. read more

I feel bad their grand opening was slap bang in the middle of this blasted pandemic, but I'm sorry, everything here is absolutely terrible. Like jarringly bad! Except the bread - the bread is somehow amazing and I could eat that all day long - but I have visited twice and ordered a huge variety of dishes and they have all been painfully bland - there is no flavor to any of it - none. To add insult to injury, they have also gone out of their way to get rid of all texture - as if the food is prepped for the toothless. Every ingredient is blended to within an inch of its life - I'm talking pulverized, making it all mushy and kind of gross. So, no taste, no feel - what's left?! Looks? I guess the dishes mostly look the part but it's very clear the chef has no clue how to make Persian food. Service on the other hand is fairly neglectful - there are long waits even when there are very few customers, and if you request something from anyone other than your own server you get ignored. It's like they've all just given up on life. I have no idea how they got so many high ratings - perhaps from friends and family trying to support the business. Trust me, I'm not that picky when it comes to food, so for me to say this place sucks, it must REALLY suck! read more

I was really excited to try this place after reading the reviews and was really disappointed. We ordered the tahdig, the ikra, an order of the veggie kebob and the shirazi salad. The shirazi and the ikra were both very good. Lots of great flavor in both. But the tahdig and veggie kebob were incredibly disappointing. We ordered the tahdig with beef stew and there wasn't a single piece of beef in our order. Plus the rice was so stale and chewy it wasn't even edible. We just scooped the stew off of the top and didn't eat the rice. The veggie kebob was just absurdly overpriced. $20 for four pieces of zucchini and four mushrooms??? Legitimately made me upset when I opened the takeout container and realized how much of a rip off it was. Oh, and they werent even seasoned. $20 for four pieces of bland zucchini and four bland mushrooms. Two stars instead of one because of how good the ikra and shirazi were but we'd absolutely never eat here again. read more

the service and ambience are fair, the appetizers were not appealing or appetizing, the Ikra way too salty, Masto Khiyar had virtually no cucumbers in it, and the olives covered in walnut pomegranate paste was so so. The main courses were again only fair. If a restaurant is average does that make it deserve four stars? I don't think so. OK I could give it at 3.5 at best. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Persian food, so it's got to be really high-quality or outstanding for me to Give it a four or five. I don't have the childhood memories so these aromas or certain tastes don't illicit positive memories, I think that's what's going on here all my friends grew up on this stuff and they're like oh my gosh it's so delicious but really it was not. read more
