Little hole in the wall spot for all Persian style fast-food lovers. The flavors are very close to their original ones in Iran. The owner/cook is very friendly and welcoming and makes sure to meet your requests. Upon checking in on Yelp I noticed they offer free soft drink but when I tried to claim it the owner said that should be from the previous business owner and not them and they do not honor that but he was very professional to not charge me for my drink anyways. I got the German Sausage with Cheese sandwich which was so tasty. He uses an interesting technique for melting the cheese which basically is broiling it in a small sheet pan. I will definitely come back when I am in the area. read more

World Cafe - German Sausage with Cheese Sandwich - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Glendale, California

Great customer service, delicious sandwiches the food is always fresh and tasty I would definitely recommend this place

This is by far my favorite Persian sandwich shop! If I could give it 10 stars, I would! If I could take all of my friends here, I would, or I would tell them to go themselves, and bring back some for me! We were craving Persian sandwiches one night and searched for Persian sandwich on yelp, this place came up with all 5 star reviews! Called and ordered for pick up. Got there 15 mins later, and booom, true love between us and the sandwiches :X We got the sosis (sausage) sandwich with mushrooms and cheese, the cheeseburger, and the roast beef sandwich. All three were beyond delicious, and not comparable with what we had gotten before from other similar sandwich shops like Attari, Cafe Glace etc. We got so excited that we forgot to take pictures to share on here, sorry! To those who have been looking for the amazing taste of traditional Persian Sandwiches, this is your place, look no further! read more

Such a surprisingly good meal in a hidden gem. Really great fries and a super nice server.

Went here for a late night grub with friends. The workers were nice and the food was great. However, they said the free drink with the Yelp check-in was not valid anymore even though it is active on this app. They said "it expired 10 years ago" LOL Anyway, they still gave us complimentary canned soda for showing that they still had the Yelp check-in offer on Yelp. read more

Very cool couple who work here.... Who make Excellent Persian style sandwiches!!!! Definitely worth the backtrack from house! Recommend.

Wow.... $19 for a sandwich and fries? Too expensive. Rather to pay $16 for Jersey Mike's

We absolutely love this place. It's a tiny hole in the wall next to a laundromat. The sandwiches are big enough for two moderately hungry people and they're so delicious. We have tried most of their sandwiches and our favorite is the German sausage and mushroom sandwich. The owners are so sweet, they really make you feel like you are in a family joint. They're so generous with their fries. There is a little patio area for sitting down but overall it's a small spot and people get their food to go. Such a great place and great people! read more

I love this place The sandwiches & all other foods are tasty I recommend this place to everyone that enjoys tasty quality food. read more

Raffi (the owner) has been in this business for decades. I have had a chance to try his sandwiches both here in the US and his home country, where his recipes originate. Though thousands of miles of distance between the two businesses, the gourmet sandwiches great taste has reminded unchanged. He makes the food with passion and genuinely cares for the customers. God bless his business. read more

In short: This cozy little cafe churns out some serious big eats with home-made sauces that you won't find anywhere else. The portions are ridiculously generous, huge burgers and over-sized sandwiches that you probably won't be able to finish. My Keto friendly recommendation is their imported cheese-bratwurst sausage. It's like nothing else in Glendale. Juicy and bursting with flavor, it's the real deal prepared right. I told the owner to prepare it sans carbs and he delivered, serving the brat on a bed of roasted mushrooms, bell peppers and mozzarella. It was awesome! Also don't miss their homemade torshi aka pickles, giardiniera style w caluflower and mixed greens. As a side it's the best for their wurst - sorry, I couldn't help myself. If you're craving a burger, they make a pretty mean one here. Huge patties loaded with toppings. One thing to note, seating is limited inside, but they do have an outdoor patio with area heaters they can fire up on request. read more

Hidden gem. This one-man show is great. Scratch-made burgers, sandwiches, and random specialties -- came here with some friends and everything was good. I looked over the counter at one point and noticed that the cheese for the burgers was being baked to perfection on a specialized cheese melter. I got to watch him slide it onto my burger. End result: see photo. Hnnnnng. Highly recommend the homemade aioli for the fries. Good stuff. Turkish coffee was good. Everything was good. 11/10, will make a point to stop by again. read more
