We ordered beef kabob, and combo chicken and beef. The food didn’t have any spices, and the meat tasted fishy. The salad tasted like store brand, not fresh, and I didn’t like the soup.

It’s my first time getting food here. We ordered at the counter and it only took 15 minutes for the food to be ready. We ordered chicken kebob with salad, shish kebob with fries and lamb fillet with barley soup. The basmati rice was plentiful, the vegetables nicely roasted and the barley soup was satisfying. The meats are tender but under seasoned compared to other places like Pardis, Sahara and Raif’s. Maybe, that’s the reason packets of sumac came with the food.

Meat dishes (lamb and chicken Koobideh) were quite delicious. Rice and Hummus were excellent! French Fries were fresh, crispy and extremely popular at all the tables around us.

lovely people serving up generous portions of authentic Persian dishes. Freshly made quality and toasty. If it were in my town I would eat there every week.

I got food poisoning here. I’ve been sick for over 24 hours now. I should have known because their meat smelled really bad and must have been old and expired. Threw the rest of it away. Do not eat there.

One of the best persian restaurants in LA, and maybe the best in Pasadena, mostly I think serving Pasadena City College students, since it’s right in front of the college and have nice choice of healthy and affordable lunch menu. The decoration, paintings, table/chair, and the food feel like old Tehran (some refer to as good days) restaurants. Kabobs are not spicy, always fresh, and properly cooked (persian style). Ghormesabzi with Tahdig, mast o musir is must. I usually get stuck right there and can’t eat anything more (right now by writing it I want to go and geab a full plate of it ). Most of the waiters and the chef are persian. The kabab chef (the tall tiny elder man) reminds you the grandpa in the tv series “khaneye sabz” in Iran.
