    I'd say TehranRo Grill was one of the most pleasant surprises I've had in a while, trying new places in Koreatown. I visited with my family to celebrate my birthday on a Tuesday evening, and we were seated promptly, with no wait time. Friendly people, cute little space, but it was the bursting flavors that really made this celebratory dinner unforgettable. We got the beef & lamb koobideh, chicken shish kabobs, and shrimp kabobs. My jaw was already on the floor when I saw the portions--but oh my goodness, everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The shrimp were so plump that even my picky choosy mom thoroughly enjoyed them! I actually get kabob cravings quite regularly. And to think all this time, I've been ordering underwhelming deliveries from the mid places when TehranRo Grill is just a short 10-minute drive from home? Damn. I've been missing out. I'll most certainly be returning and trying all of the different options. Can't wait.

    Such a great find. Thanks Yelp!!!! We stopped for dinner on our way to the airport and this place hit the spot. Great service as soon as we arrived through the final check. The food was so flavorful. My favorite was the koobideh kabob. So good. We also got the hummus too for a starter. It was a huge portion and very good. Overall excellent experience and would love to get back soon

    Eggplant Delight (Kashk e Bademjan)
    Stef M.

    Nice little place for dine in, with many tempting appetisers to choose from. We decided to try the eggplant delight, it's served warm and it's delicious! The soltani kabob was okay, not extraordinary. Tahchin was only available on weekends so we ordered this too, the baked rice was crispy on the outside and soft inside with shredded chicken in it sprinkled with barberries on top. The persian tea is just hot black tea, I do like it slightly bitter with no sugar. Service is excellent, definitely a five star. There's valet parking available for $4.

    What a great story.

    Food: This place is Top Notch. 10 out of 10. I am a Persian food Connossieur and this is some of the best I have had. The service is friendly and the food comes out quick and executed to perfection. The vibe inside is modern, clean, and please see my pictures for the backstory of the Korean influence behind this place. You can eat in or I also noticed alot of customers picking up take out orders.

    Hummus

    Food here was delicious! Hummus is a must order!! Large portion but a little expensive. $26 on average. Service is both quick and friendly! Inside is very clean and comfortable overall.

    Koobideh Combination

    Solid Persian/Middle Eastern restaurant in Koreatown! I visited this restaurant for an early Sunday dinner and my experience here was pretty good. Firstly, my friend and I were served an appetizer of flatbread and seasoned raw onions. We also ordered a hummus on the side. The hummus might have to be my favorite thing that we had here. It was so creamy and flavorful. It paired nicely with the onions wrapped up in the flatbread. It also paired well with the upcoming dishes we had. For the main entrée, I ordered the Koobideh Combination and it was good and standard. The minced chicken and beef logs were flavorful and juicy. The rice was fluffy and flavorful. Finally, the veggies were nicely charred and I liked how juicy the tomato was. The portion size was also massive. I had to to-go my leftovers which was good for 2 additional meals. For $23, it was a good value for the amount of food you get. The service was also good and our server was friendly and attentive. The interior was also nicely decorated and mostly clean despite being an older building. Overall, a solid experience here. I've had better Middle Eastern food elsewhere in LA, but this is a good option for an area that has predominantly Korean food options. There were also some Iranian families dining here when I visited, so you know the food is authentic.

    At last! Finally tried TehranRo in K Town. Cute little authentic joint with extremely attentive and kind service. Food is yummy! Ordered a combo plate - chicken and beef were both really tasty but I preferred the chicken. Must try!

    Koobideh,  Chicken Koobideh, and Lamb Shank (Mahicheh)!
    Jason L.

    Vibe: outdoor patio was nice and cozy Service: super friendly, even brought out water for the doggo that was with us! Food: so delicious - big portions, it could easily be 2 meals if I was going home, or you can share with someone. I had the koobideh, so tender!

    This has to be my favorite place in ktown. The food is DELICIOUS. I can eat my whole plate (but I won't feel good doing so lol). My go to dishes are the koobideh combination plate and hummus! I don't know how they get their koobideh to be so tender after being on the grill. Their flatbread for the hummus is addicting. I can eat stacks of it!!! I always leave happy and extremely full. Cannot wait to come back!

    Still amazing. Only wish I lived closer so I can visit them more often. My mom's favorite so brought her here for a nice Friday night dinner. Ordered the beef and chicken shish kabob combo, the chicken kabob and lamb shank. I made my gf order the combo which was delicious and can easily feed two or more. Mom always gets the chicken kabob and I tried the lamb shank which was so tender and tasty. I really liked the beef kabob as well, so the combo works well for us the next time we don't want a ton of leftovers. Also will always order the lamb shank which was amazing. Pro tip: if you don't have a lot of time, order ahead for takeout and you can stop in front for a short time to pick up your food!

I see why I love this place so much after watching the Odyssey too hahah the little lotus they served with the duck MUST be the lotus Charlize Theron has been feeding Matt Damon!

I do not want the food to run out, and it's much like the odyssey, hours later, I woke up to a different day and i still think about how insanely delicious they are! Different server this time, but still the and level of hospitality. Always checking in on us, bringing new utensils and recommending menus.

It's best to make a reservation in advance if you plan to dine here as they are almost always fully at capacity. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. If the weather is not too hot, I recommend sitting outside. Our mistake was choosing the indoors because it gets awfully loud to the point where you can't even hear the server(s) or your own party speak. Truth be told that's the major factor in the minus 1 star as it negatively affected our overall dining experience. 1. Farm Cheese Spread (5/5) The farm cheese was super light and airy. It's seasoned with sumac/fig leaf za'atar, rose petal (mostly for decor than taste) and fresh rosemary. It's served with 2 slices of crispy edged, doughy centered, black sesame bread that's toasted to perfection. 2. Baba Ghanoush (5/5) This is a dip dish made of smoked eggplant, Jimmy Nardello peppers (adds sweetness and smoky flavor), fennel escabeche, dill and olive oil. It's served with sites of fried pita bread. The eggplant was perfectly savory from the grilled onions and non-spicy, smoky flavor of the peppers. The Pita bread is like a fried beignet donut in terms of flavor. Another enjoyable appetizer to share. 3. Oyster Mushroom Kebab (5/5) Amazing smokey, well-charred and juicy mushroom with a nice price tag attached to it, but still worth to enjoy. It's served with avocado-lovage puree and sumac, which paired well with the mushroom flavor. 4. Grilled Octopus (5/5): The octopus tentacles were cooked to perfection - soft & melts in your mouth. It's almost like eating a very soft rice cake with a hint of seafood flavor note. It's served with sides of skordalia potato puree, brocooli, lamb xo sauce and coated in dill to give it a slightly spicy and savory profile. 5. Slow-Roasted Lamb Neck Shawarma (4.5/5) Super tender lamb meat that's also very fatty. It's served with a side of basil-cilantro like sauce, pickled vegetables and tahini sauce which was super creamy and helped to cut the gaminess of the lamb. The dish also comes with a full size laffa bread, which was fresh (made in-house; you can literally see them making it in the background) and pillowy-soft to wrap the lamb meat in. 6. Cherry Sumac & Ricotta cheese pastry (4/5) We ended with a crispy Cherry jam tart. The puff pastry was flaky puff while the cherry jam was tart and sweet. It paired well with their ricotta cheese, which was light and airy and sprinkled with sumac. It also comes with a scoop of Pistachio ice cream that's subtly nutty and floral but was a bit too sweet for our liking. Overall, the food here was good, but the dining environment was too loud for our liking. This place is often compared to Bestia, which we prefer. Fun fact - Bavel and Bestia are owned by the same owners.

There are so many different kebabs to choose from, and I've yet to have one that wasn't delicious. My personal favorites are the steak and the chicken--both are incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. One thing you absolutely cannot skip is the edamame hummus. I had never even heard of edamame hummus before coming here, and now I can't believe I went so long without trying it. It was smooth, fresh, and full of flavor while putting such a unique twist on traditional hummus. It's one of those dishes that completely changes your expectations and has you thinking about it long after you've left the restaurant. On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding. Everyone made us feel genuinely welcome, and the atmosphere was warm, relaxing, and perfect whether you're grabbing a casual lunch or having dinner with friends or family.
