Absolutely OBSESSED with this place! I grew up in Iran and been telling my American fiance for 5 years I can't wait to one year take you back to my own country to taste an authentic Persian sandwich! This place is as close as it gets!! I've been living in LA for over a decade and soooo happy I finally found a place that taste like home. Super cheap too! We got the German sausage, kotlet and beef tongue! My parents looooved too and they're harsh critics. Thank you for an amazing experience

Tongue Sandwich. It's wrapped to go, hence the plastic wrap.
Laura C.

Was recommended this place by someone and it did not disappoint, I'm only disappointed that I didn't know about it sooner. I tried the cow tongue sandwich and it was everything I wished for. All the right flavors with the delicious tender tongue meat cooked to perfection. The parsley and onion give it the right texture and the pickles add just the right about of saltiness and the tomatoes is your something fresh. The bread roll is nice a fluffy. Can't wait to try all of the other sandwiches.

Tongue sandwich.
Kaori T.

I was craving a sandwich so I yelped up for a sandwich place in the area and this one popped up. To my delight, everyone was raving about the tongue sandwich (I love tongue, esp if it's cooked well) at this place. Despite the negative and terrible write ups about the man who builds the sandwiches, I decided the idea of a delicious tongue sandwich was worth the risk. For $9, I got myself a very very hefty tongue sandwich with the Persian pickled cucumbers (which I've always preferred over American pickles). The sandwich was delicious, as was the tongue, but I will say that I was very very disappointed with the bread. It tasted like cardboard, but luckily the meat in the inside made up for it. If the bread was better I would probably give this place an extra star. It's a very very small place, maybe with 5 tables inside + outside at most. Don't expect to get the best service, just go in and out. I can't speak for the sandwich maker who is apparently the worst in client service. It wasn't so bad for me (knock on wood), but maybe it was cause I went in prepared and fearing the worst.

This place is a joke. The owner is super rude. Whatever you ask he doesn't have. You should make a reservation for sandwich a day before.

WHEN: Sun Dec 14th @11am…read more We have just arrived to SoCal by car, and before checking into our Airbnb, we figure we swing by this spot located in a ghost kitchen to pick up some lunch. After placing an order on their website, you would park in the back lot where it's free parking, and enter a tempt room of lockers. I wish they included this in the text where you are to CALL THEM to let them know you've arrived so they can bring your order out to you. It's not like the other establishment in this shared kitchen where they just leave it in one of the order cubbies to pick up. So here I am like an idiot just standing and waiting in the empty room for my order. I didn't know until I checked my email and it said to call them in my receipt. Oh well. Anyway, here's what I ordered: BASTURMA BRISKET - $29 Hand Carved Basturma Brisket, Pickled Persian Cucumber, Chaman Spread, and Swiss Cheese. Served in freshly baked pita bread. I know, what kind of sandwich costs nearly $30!? But let me tell you, you are getting both quality and quantity in this bad boy. This reads 2 people, and those 2 will enjoy this thoroughly. Yes, it's a bit on the saltier side, but that's why you have the cucumber to balance it out a bit and the warm and soft pita bread. The brisket was tender and I loved the spread (which you can buy!). It's such a unique take on the common pastrami sandwich. So remember: 1. Order online (no phone calls) 2. Park in the back 3. CALL THEM, letting you know you have arrived. 4. Enter through the big doors (its unlocked) 5. Wait for them to come out to retrieve order. 6. Enjoy!

So delicious, fresh and high quality. Loved the basturma sandwich and will definitely come back…read moreagain. There's decent parking around and there are two seating areas in the parking lot. The only downside is the price, it's pretty pricey considering it's not a restaurant and you're just picking up a sandwich. But it's the beginning of their business so they need the funding so I didn't mind paying for it.

First off, I didn't even try the actual hot food that they service but ambiance and service?!…read more100000000/10. Exceptional. Just that in itself will be bringing my husband and I back. We came here on Christmas Eve hoping to try their sandwiches but to also buy some meat as a white elephant gift. First off we were greeted warmly by the staff - not just the cashier but every staff member working behind the counter. On top of that, they gave us a shot of cognac for my husband and I to try. We decided to try buy some wagyu burger patties for the white elephant (we ended up winning these back during our white elephant - they were excellent!). The patties were juicy, rich, and so tasty! Can't wait to try other cuts! When we checked out, they offered us two small complimentary bottles of champagne and some produce from their refrigerated area. this was so kind of them to do so. This place is like your one stop shop - hot food, butcher, alcoholic drinks, liquor, and other cooking goods like seasonings, caviar, butter etc. Unfortunately they were not serving sandwhiches that day so we didn't get to try but we will definitely be coming back to try! Thanks so much to the staff and Butcher and Booze for treating us like fam.

Amazing cheese Burger, Amazing Philly Cheese steak sandwich, and incredible sushi!…read more A friend of mine has been telling me to come here for a while, today I finally did, and I am left speechless! This place has incredible service 1st of all, I haven't received service this amazing at any steak house! Here they treat you like family! The burger was perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, the bread is fluffy and packed with flavor! Every bite makes you grateful to be here! The burger was so good I had to try the Philly cheesesteak sandwich! Amazingly saucy, the sauce had a nice taste to it, the cheese was perfect not overwhelming nor plain, it is perfectly flavorful! Again, the bread is perfect, not too soft, not hard, perfect! I saw that the chef was making sushi in the back, and I asked if I could try some, the sushi was beyond incredible! Better than most sushi spots, I asked how they got the sushi to taste so buttery and flavorful, they told me their fish is NEVER frozen, it is purchased early morning fresh and served the same day! The sushi was buttery, tender, fresh! I came here casually to try a burger, and I left blown away with my experience here! MUST try this spot! Amazing food, amazing service, and incredibly clean!
