This review is long overdue. I've been coming here for 8+ years and I come back because the food is amazing and the staff is exceptional. Portions are big and everything I have ordered is exceptional. My favorite is the kornish hen but the ground beef and ground chicken kebabs are great as well. I like to order for the table and share. They also have a cute garden with lush trees which is great to sit outside. I have also ordered catering for a party and it was a huge hit. My fiancé and her family are Persian and they gave it 2 thumbs up! Highly recommend! read more

Came on a Saturday early afternoon. Parking right in front! Looks like this lace has been here for a while! Walked in and the place has nice indoor seating and a back area for seating as well! The ambiance looks very family oriented. The lady behind the counter was friendly and offered good suggestions! I got the Beef Saltani shiskabab and a yogurt soda drink. As I waited everyone here was quite friendly to talk to! Will I come back again, yes! read more

Arthur's Garden - #09 Chicken Koobideh and #04 Beef Koobideh - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Hidden hole in the wall authentic Persian restaurant in Downtown LA serving all the classic dishes.

Arturo Junior and Senior are the absolute dream team with their authentic food. Truly the most amazing and tender combination rice plate. I came with my dad and boyfriend, and it was my boyfriend's first time eating Persian food and he couldn't even choose which dish was tastiest since everything was top tier. We got their two kebab combo with the beef and skinless chicken which was a nice bright orange and all dark meat! Juicy and flavorful are understatements and we were such a fan of the rice. Extra points for great pita bread and salad with diced persian cucumbers. Our favorite parts of the restaurant are Arturo and his impeccable service and passion for the food! read more

Service is great and food is super yummyThere is also an outdoor patio which is a plus for me.

After too many cold lunches for so long, a bulb went off in my head when I had to go drop off something at a customer today. I could get some Arthur's since just off the path! Been so long since the Covid heights, but good to see the place is running well. I remembered there was 2 parking in front of the restaurant for pick ups and that made it very easy to get the food and go. Order took about 15 mins to be ready. Very filling and it made for a great Friday lunch to have hot food instead of my usual cold lunches day in day out, lol. Now I know I have kabob option if need to make some deliveries in this direction, hopefully I don't forget or get lazy like I've become to not move from office for lunch. Always seem to be eating the chicken kabobs. Snapped a pic of the menu and noticed they have Ghormeh Sabzi! Gotta try that since I loved it when I ate multiple servings at a wedding once. But there was some meat in that one and this menu says vegetarian so maybe it doesn't have any meat? Or maybe I need to get the Gheimeh (beef stew)? But Gheimeh doesn't seem like it's the parsley stew base like the Ghormeh Sabzi, will have to clarify next time if I want to try:) read more

The most amazing Persian food of my life. My client ordered me a feast. We dined together in his office in DNTN LA. Then I got to take it all home and eat for days. There was... - Their Tahdig with two kinds of stews, toppings, OMG so good! - Beef Koobideh - Gormeh Sabzi - Barberry Rice (Zeresk Polo) - The most outstanding lentil soup - A fresh and generous salad - Green rice - JouJeh Kebab (chicken) - The grilled veggies were phenomenal Absolutely amazing. read more

This Best is Deliciius!!!! Best Persian Food in DTLA. Arthur the chef is the best. Try it and find out

From outside doesn't look like much but they have a beautiful garden that makes you feel like you're in Iran! Can't believe a Gem like this place exist in downtown. The food is one of the better Persian foods I've had. Price point is amazing. Can't go wrong. I eat here at least twice a week read more

Finally my overdue review to my favorite Persian food restaurant in Los Angeles. I try to make it a habit to drop by and eat at this place whenever I'm around the area. My favorite plate to order is the Beef Koobideh and my wife's favorite plate is the Grilled Salmon Kabob. And for my to go order, I always get the Shish Kabob (Filet Mignon Kabob) which is always tender, juicy and good. The price is very reasonable and the portions are big. Shout out to the very friendly family, Felicia, Alma and not but not least Arturo who manages the place. Good food and great people what else can you ask for. Can wait to drop by and have a good meal again one of this days. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Rey & Evelyn Garcia 4G Apparel, Inc. read more

Not only is the food delicious, but the service and friendliness of the staff goes way beyond any expectations anyone should have at a restaurant. This a small shack like building on the corner and I was hesitant to enter because of the location/looks, however I'm so happy I got over my ego to eat here. The server took my order happily even though he was busy. He checked on me while I was eating, offered me to stay and eat it fresh and not in my car... they have a cute outdoor seating area. Please support this business if you can! Such great Iranian food, coming from an Iranian woman! read more

Wonderful family restaurant. Good food, little outdoor garden in downtown LA. Simple. Lovely. Good Persian food especially for price point and being close to DTLA. Amazing people who run it. Love going there. Highly recommended. read more

Fresh, great value! We've been ordering Arthur's Garden during COVID and it's comforting and delicious. Try their tadig, better than most I've had in the area. TIP: Order extra dressing and eat it like Halal Guys white sauce with your food! You won't regret it :) read more

I loved my Koobideh plate, all day, baby! I ordered two weeks ago, over-da-phone, at 9:30am and had my plate waiting for me during my meal period. The rice was hot and the koobideh was glistening in its own juices. I also got a side of pita, with a salad to refresh the mouth, mmmmmaaa-Booyyyyy. I will be back real soon, paisanos! After my vacation to La Isla de Encanto, coño. read more

The combo never disappoints. Meat is always grilled to perfection. The rice is super fluffy. The salad is fresh and crisp. Ive been ordering from here for the last 5 years and never have I ever gotten terrible service or bad food. Every one is super nice and the food is always good. read more

This is the new menu 2018 Prices have been adjusted,since it has been the same for the las 9 years. Hope everyone enjoys read more

Probably in my top 3 favorite Persian restaurants. I can't believe how tasty and juice their beef koobideh and barg was! The tadig was so crispy and delicious it was so obvious that it was from a full pot of race rather than rice burning in oil like other places. Persian restaurant owned and operated by Hispanics. 10/10 read more

One of my favorite healthy meals that always satisfies a big appetite! Staff is friendly and the ambience is offers a perfect spot to stop and eat. read more

Great hole in the wall spot for great quality affordable Armenian food. Great tasting kabobs and skewers. Eat your food in a nice patio with many plants. Hidden gem. read more

They try really hard for a very small kitchen but using decent recipes. Take the advice of others, if you're not into having a relaxing wait for your meal (the garden actually is quite nice on days that it's not too hot outside) do just call ahead and let them know at least 20 minutes before arrival. We get a combination luleh plate, which is sort of off-menu and called a "protein plate", which is one beef luleh and one chicken luleh. Tried the substitute Albalou Polo (sour cherry rice) but it comes out actually much sweeter than it probably should (would make a good pairing with roast duck or roast pork, for example.) And usually I would order a Zereshk Polo (barberry rice) instead, but that's not available here. Mixed green salad provided with the plates is nice and refreshing, and as with many Persian establishments, they are generous with portions (you could probably split a plate with two as a light meal easily.) I can see where if there are more than about 5 tables filled in the restaurant, the staffing becomes immediately inadequate, but such is the nature of a small bistro sized restaurant. For the area, it's a nice change of pace from the regular fare, and equally because the rents are going up in the bordering Arts District, the prices have had to go up - probably more than people in South Bay would be used to for the same fare. I think if ordering what you like, and noting the small variances in what you can expect recipe-wise, this is a fine establishment bringing otherwise exotic foods into the mix of the growing DTLA/Arts District offerings. read more

This place is great! The staff is very friendly! Love the Cornish kabob. Food is always perfectly seasoned and very tender. I call ahead to make sure I get my order in time since they're always very busy and it may take a while for your food to be made. I'm not complaining, the longer wait time just means the food is fresh. That's why I'm more than happy to call ahead. Keep up the great work, Arthur's Garden! read more

I drove past this place on a zig-zagging drive through LA to avoid traffic. "Aurthurs Garden - Home of Fine Persian and Mexican Food". I thought, "Ha, what an interesting combination!" I made a mental note to bring back some of my Persian friends for the true test. Well, we went, and not only did I think the food was great, but the true Iranians also thought is was great! They said it was authentic (both of them have only been in the states for about a year). The restaurant is owned by Persians, with the cooks and staff being Mexican, but they are definitely trained well in the art of Persian cooking. (We did not try anything from the Mexican part of the menu.) The ambiance is minimal, it kind of feels like a Mom & Pop Fast Food restaurant, but it did have a side patio, which we could not enjoy on that rainy day. Street parking. If you're looking for somewhere new and different to have lunch near downtown, this is the spot. I hope it's still there! I kind of thought, "How will anyone find this place?", which is why I'm taking the time to add it. It deserves to be known. read more

READ THIS BEFORE GOING TO THE RESTAURANT! CALL and ORDER IN ADVANCE! Or you will be waiting 30-1hour for food. Call about 30 mins-1 hour in advance and let them know the time of your arrival ;). They will have your food ready! Food 4/5 stars! They have cook with fresh ingredients! It did not change my life but it's certainly really good. Huge portions, it was enough for my lunch and dinner. My personal favorite is the #8 cronish hen kabab. I have been trying to avoid rice because of diet but the rice here is a bomb, I love the rice! Ambience: 4/5 have inside and outside patio, outside patio is nice :) Service 2.5/5 stars I have been here twice. First time I left this place annoyed because I was waiting for my food 40 mins! I was hungry and cranky. My second time I ordered 1hour in advance for pick up and was happy that my food was ready by the time I arrived :)). I left my card the first time I ate there. The owner was nice enough to keep my credit card safe for a day :). I am thankful for being a honest business. But I think the business would do so much better with better service. Also i would recommend changing the time on your menu... The hours of operation is listed 7am-4pm Mon-Fri on the menu. Average 3.5 stars :) read more

Their tarchin rice is amazing! Everything else I tried was good too. A tad expensive from the other places but i guess worth it. Food is very fresh. I really liked their pretty garden outside. It didnt feel like I was in downtown LA. read more

Good place to eat Kabob locally... food is very good but service can be slow due to popularity at lunchtime... Best on menu: - Cornish Hen - Ground Beef - Ground Chicken All have great flavor. Tender and juicy.... I never eat the rice but just ask for extra veggies!!! Perfect read more

I drive by pass this place almost everyday on my way to work and wondered if it was good. The advertise fine Persian and Mexican food...? Anyhow lucky for me I left my lunch at home and didn't feel much like driving or putting thought into where I would eat so I went for it. I broke down and ordered the chicken hen kabob, hummus, and shirazi salad. It was fresh. It was tasty and it was fresh. I will defiantly order from there again! By the way the only Mexican food is breakfast =) read more

CALL FIRST! This restaurant is probably a victim of their own success. They get really busy so you might have to wait more than 1+ Hour if you don't call. All their dishes are great. Their Chicken Soltani is juicy and flavorful combined nicely grilled vegetables and fluffy rice. Yum read more

I saw how busy this place gets for lunch so I tried to get ahead of it. I called 45 minutes ahead. Showed up and they are running around frantically filling huge orders for delivery. Mine was not ready so I sat down to wait. It only took them a few minutes and my food was piping hot. Definitely key to order ahead and have some patience. THis is a small place with big demand. The food is fantastic. The service is great, considering their demand. Overall a great place for take out, as long as you don't have a super strict schedule to stick to. I absolutely loved everything I had. The chicken and the beef were fantastic. All the sauces were great. I'll be back for sure! read more

Excellent delicious food, the waitress was very nice with a good customer service, the chef was amazing. The food is a 10 plus. Definitely everything cooked and prepared authentic Persian food. read more

Arthur's Garden - CHICKEN KABOB The most delicious and juiciest chicken ever. Love it - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Love this restaurant. Best Persian food you can get. We've been going since their opening, we usually get the beef kabob. Quality of food is great and they have maintained it consistent throughout all these years. Proce is reasonable and portions are generous. I can eat everyday and won't get tired of it. So glad they made it through Covid. read more

Not an authentic tasting persian place. The outdoor seating is very nice. The rice is too moist and soggy. The chicken texture tasted off and the seasoning didn't give it a special taste. I was eating it to get full but there was no pleasure in eating it. Don't go if your looking for yummy persian food. read more

Food is amazing but they always took more than hour to give you your food and if you stands in front of the cashier to pay or order food they just ignore you, they are not lazy people don't got me wrong they are hard workers but a think it is too much for them and the kitchen is too small read more
