Ordered the salmon kebab.. I don't think I've ever had such a more horrible salmon dish before. It was so fishy with no other flavor but fishy & stale. I could not eat it.. disgusting. I had to throw all of it out. The eggplant dish ( appetizer) I ordered was like 90% kashk & 10% eggplant.. not good. Very disappointing & will not be ordering from here again. read more

Get a new owner who is not cheap ! Serve fresh food , and dolly up the place . Prices are very high and service is not great .

Unfortunately went there and saw two cockroaches in the dining room , mentioned to manager and they said there is nothing they can do . Uh. Yea there is , call an exterminator and get rid of them read more

The food is delicious and the owner is super nice and friendly. She even offered us a free side salad. She kept asking us if everything was ok. We did not feel like we were at a restaurant. We felt like we were at a relative's house. I definitely recommend this place. read more

We came here couple of days ago with my wife co-workers to celebrate their birthdays. The food, the atmosphere and everything was amazing. The owner was so nice and she gave us different food to taste as well. I definitely recommend this restaurant for Persian food and will be coming back for sure. read more

Close to five stars, but think there are a couple on the blvd, just a little better. Still, a nice place to pop into and enjoy a meal. The chicken kabob brear, was just a tiny tiny bit overcooked. Still good. read more

I think the Shirazi salad was made 15 days ago. Everything was absolutely disgusting. A literal shed. Everything is old and outdated and terrible. read more

Chairs dirty tables crammed and unfortunately the fact no gloves was used in kitchen and THATS A ABSOLUTE NO ....FOOD IS GOOD FOR NONE PERSIAN THEN I REALIZED THEY OWEN TEHRAN ON WESTWOOD LOCATION WHICH IS THE SAME EXPERIENCE.... read more

I came here after receiving a "buy one entrée, get one free" coupon in the monthly community magazine. The waitress was pleasant until I presented the coupon then her demeanor shifted. She even insisted it was expired, though I had just received the magazine the day before. Only after checking with the manager did they agree to honor it. The food itself was good, but I was slapped with an extra $3 charge per plate for mixing rice and salad--even on the "free" entrée. When I checked their online menu later, I saw the dish already includes rice and salad, so this felt like a retaliatory and dishonest charge for using the coupon. Small businesses deserve support, but not at the expense of misleading customers. If they don't want to honor coupons, they shouldn't send them out. I won't be returning, and others should think twice before going with a coupon in hand. read more

I have been waiting to try Didar since it first opened as I am a big fan of the owner and her restaurants. She is a long time staple in the Persian cuisine community in Los Angeles and Didar is another accomplishment! Located on Ventura Blvd in a busy area of Sherman Oaks and next to lots of retail and bars/lounges. The restaurant itself may be tiny, but has a warmth to it despite its small size. If I had one critique of the inside, it would be the noise level. With a full restaurant, it can get loud enough in there that having a normal conversation with your dinnermate across the table can be difficult. We had a good sampling of the food and it was all super yummy! The tahdig and kashk bandemjaan were gone in sixty seconds and the entree portions were big! I had the beef koobideh and the Cornish hen. The koobideh was super tender and juicy and the chicken was cooked just right. Great spot for a casual Persian eatery read more

Stood for 5 min with noacknowledgement in fro t of two staff members waiting for a pick up order. No greeting. No kindness. They walked passed me at close proximoty and ignored me. read more

Everything was so delicious! The saffron was super fresh in everything, and the mast o khiar was excellent on a hot day. Salmon kabob was cooked to perfection. Such great people with wonderful service! I've never felt so at home at a Persian restaurant before. read more

LOVE the food! I saw this restaurant on Ventura so many times while I was across the street, but always after hours. At last, I tried it and was so happy that it was amazing. The location is small, but it's cute. I went with someone (picky guy) who makes ghorme sabzee all the time, and he gave theirs a 5/5 (wow wow)! We also ordered a koobideh combo plate and it was good. Everything tasted authentic and cooked with love. Can't wait to come back. Service was nice, our waitress was very sweet and attentive. Pricing is very fair, quantity is good, and quality is great. The only part that was a little odd was the ending. When the waitress came to clear some of the dishes from our table, she had dirty dishes from other tables that she set down on our table and walked away - this happened 3 times (plates, cups, and then the cleaning products). We were sitting at the table at the very end, and as she cleaned/sprayed down the tables next to us, she set the products down at our table. Otherwise, definitely a new must try in the area. read more

I will try anything that Saghar makes! Her creations are incredible and her restaurant is one of the best! If you want fresh, delicious, and affordable Persian food come to Didar! My favorites are her traditional meat and chicken dishes, eggplant appetizer, quinoa salad, and her plum and chicken stew! We have it delivered and it's as fresh as can be. read more

The best Persian food in LA. Everything is always fresh and made to order. Service is too notch and very friendly. I have been here multiple times and will continue coming here. read more

definitely do not recommend this place to anyone. First of all, the chairs and tables were so disgusting that you don't even want to sit on them. The cleanliness was very poor. On top of that, the quality of the food was horrible. I have never tasted abgoosht that bad before. The only good thing about this place was the people who worked there they were very nice and polite. Unfortunately, everything else was very disappointing. read more

Wowowowow This is the real deal. Being a foodie I know good Persian food and this is the place. Rami was the nicest sweetest gal. I felt like I was at her home with her family preparing our food. read more

Didar Kitchen - Chicken beef and Kobideh Rice!!!!!! Babah - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Food wasn't bad but it kind of stopped there. Our waitress was very awkward, not warm, never asked if we wanted drinks or let us know that water was self serving (our first time there so we didn't know) a few times my buddy tried to ask for a drink outside of water and she just walked away. Also never came over to see if we wanted anything else which we did but nobody came around until I flagged her down and it's not like it's a big spot nor was it very busy so that shouldn't happen. While the food wasn't bad I still think this place has some work to do in other departments of the restaurant. read more

Just had the best meal and service at Didar with my husband. The food is so fresh & delicious!!! And the owner and servers went above & beyond to take care of us and make us feel welcomed. I'm so happy to have this restaurant in my neighborhood. I can't wait to come back! read more

Didar Kitchen - Chicken Aloo & Beef Koobideh - soooooo good! - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I can't say how excited I am that this restaurant is open! Chef Saghar, who has been featured on Food Network, and runs Taste of Tehran in Westwood has officially landed in the Valley!! The decor: perfectly understated. The energy: chill yet energized. The foooooood: impeccable! Easy parking, friendly service and, if you are lucky, you get a glimpse of Saghar in action! read more

Fantastic food, reasonably priced, fresh and authentic. Lovely service. We came with our Bookclub of 12, they were accommodating and friendly. Will add this restaurant into our casual dinner out rotation! read more

The food was amazing and truly reminded me of my mom's homemade cooking. The chickenaloo was especially delicious. The customer service was excellent too -- everyone was very kind and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious ghorme sabzi for vegans! Friendly service too. Highly recommended for vegans and all who enjoy good atmosphere and food.

Fresh food made with love makes Didar Kitchen my new favorite spot in Sherman Oaks. Do NOT be afraid to dig into the menu. The eggplant appetizers are must gets. Some of the best lamb I've ever had in my life. My favorite thing to do is get a boneless chicken or lamb dish, with a side order of the creamy salad dressing (doesn't come with, gotta ask for extra), and then I use the flat bread (which sometimes does not come automatically with your to go order so you may want to ask for it especially) to make a sort of tortilla. I butter the bread, then put on some meat and rice and dressing. it is the PERFECT bite of food every time. Only recently did I discover their eggplant appetizers and my life got changed forever. My partner loves the lentil dish. Very flavorful while still healthy. Oh by the way, all the servers are incredibly kind and welcoming and fun! read more

Wonderful experience! Great food, friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

This place was absolute disgusting. The food was literally made 20 days ago. Way too overhyped. Literally the place looks like a bathroom. Shirazi salad looks like it was drenched in coleslaw water. read more

Wonderful staff, location, vibes, and food! Thank you guys for making my first experience with Persian cuisine so great.

If anyone's been to taste of Tehran on the west side. This is their new restaurant! They brought us the most epic eggplant dip to try. My husband who doesn't even like eggplant loved it. The koobideh was also delicious. So excited they opened in the valley. It was the most homemade tasting koobideh- wasn't salty wasn't over cooked it was so juicy. We had the most unexpectedly delicious dinner. The restaurant itself was clean and clutter free with a nice open kitchen. Happy to say we won't be going anywhere else for Persian food. We will be back at Didar in no time. read more

Food was great, staff was super nice. I've been to a handful of Persian restaurants and don't think I've actually ever been offered sumac to add. Was a nice touch. The level of hospitality was so genuine. We went in for Mother's Day and they gave her this card. They also gave us some delicious macaroons at the end of the meal. We liked how casual the place was but that the service and food was still solid. Free parking in the back too. read more

I placed a company order today at Didar restaurant and the food was delightful. The kebabs were made to perfection, served hot and tasted scrumptious. Two thumbs up for this place on Ventura Blvd. where there are plenty of Persian restaurants. I chose this place because I visited it prior to placing our company order and it made quite an impression on me... the serving staff was welcoming inviting and friendly especially Saghar. Thank you Didar restaurant and staff for the delicious meals you prepared today !!! Zari read more

Last night was my first time dinning at Didar. It was such a wonderful experience. The service was superb and the food was amazing. As a starter my friend and I shared the Warm Lentil Quinoa Salad which was full of flavor and one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. When I asked our server if they had hummus ( not in the menu ) she was gracious to bring us a complimentary side of it. Fabulous. For our main course we both had the Boneless Chicken with salad and saffron rice. Extremely juicy and well seasoned. We also ordered some Adas Polo to share. Spectacular. The chef stopped by to greet us and was so kind and lovely. She even sent us a sampler of a traditional dish. I highly recommend this restaurant. Experience was incredible. Thank you so much for everything. read more
