ShahSeptember 18, 2017You literally can't go wrong. Probably the best Persian food in the country. The Mast Moosir (yogurt with shallots) and Ikra (eggplant w/ tomato sauce) were real highlights.

Probably the best Persian restaurant in the US. Mast musir and kashke bademjun are a must with any food. Didn’t like rack of lamb (not sure about the name)

Mohammed Abu HajarAugust 22, 2020Its well known Armenian Resturant serving Grilled kebab and Meat, the Hummus and Taboula was great the beef cube was a bit dry but the kebab was juicy but has less flavour same for the boghula rice

Jonny AhdoutAugust 23, 2014Some of the best persian food and persian kabob in LA. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Their beef is particularly good. Just get everything.

Michelle SJune 8, 2016Portions are huge which makes up for the prices. Make sure to order one of the yogurts and tomato/cucumber salads to accompany your entree.Upvote1Downvote
Trina UnzickerSeptember 26, 2013Try your kabob (barg is my fave) with Albaloo Polo (rice mixed with dark cherries). It's $2 more to sub this for the usual basmati, but it's excellent. Or, try 1/2 cherry 1/2 regular for $1 more.Upvote1Downvote
Nilufer OzmekikJuly 25, 2018Sultan Kabob and eggplant dish were too die for. Portions are so big and delicious. You may share them. The place located in garden and it’s cozy and lovely.UpvoteDownvote

Kyle PichaApril 2, 2019Favorite kabobs in Glendale! I heard about this place through theskedge.com recently and I'm so happy I did! It's definitely not cheap food, but they aren't going for that. Their decor inside is nice.UpvoteDownvote
NikuJuly 27, 2015One of the best Persian food spots in LA, hands down. The only thing is it's valet only ($3)Upvote1Downvote
SadeemOctober 10, 2016Amaaaaaaazing food , it's the best Iranian Resturant in town .. everything was delicious... the meat too tender I would come here everydayUpvoteDownvote
Rupert BerringtonNovember 3, 2015Excellent food. A little too much so I had to get a box to take home. I had Lamb Kabob medium well with chili pepper, green pepper, onions and a tomato.UpvoteDownvote
Jey TiourchiApril 11, 2019Tonight, Raffi’s turned into Ruffi’s. There was amazingly no more kubideh (ground chicken/meat). The chicken was like a chicharron and meat salty. The best part of my $75 meal was my “to go” tea.UpvoteDownvote
Aria RoyOctober 7, 2020Best Persian food- get the hummus and you can’t got wrong with the kebab plates (chicken soltani is my favorite)UpvoteDownvote- Michelle SJune 8, 2016Food was ok but not as good as reviews claim and I wasn't impressed.Filet kabobs were tender but lacked any seasoning. Eggplant appetizer was bland. Gelato trio was awesome. Service was amazing.
