My friend orders from this restaurant all the time and kept recommending the koobideh--which I love--so I finally had to try it for myself. The service was warm, kind, and attentive. We were seated right away and ordered the chicken kabob, beef koobideh, and ghormeh sabzi. The beef koobideh ended up being my favorite, although the chicken kabob was just as delicious. And the bread... wow. Honestly some of the tastiest bread I've ever had from any kabob spot. We took some leftovers to go, and the smell of that bread lingering in my car was absolutely delightful. Definitely a great experience! read more

Nersses Vanak - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendale, California

With so many Persian restaurants in the valley, choosing one can be tough -- but whether you're a lifelong fan or trying the cuisine for the first time, Nersses is worth a visit. The barg and koobideh were flavorful, the bread was freshly made, and the saffron rice was light and fragrant. Parking in that area of Glendale can be tricky, but Nersses has a small lot, and there's usually street parking close by. Great food, fair prices, and solid service... can't ask for much more than that. read more

Nersses Vanak - Soltani Kebab - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendale, California

My Persian friend told me about this restaurant and couldn't stop raving about it. I finally tried it, and he was right! This restaurant serves some delicious and amazing food! For appetizers we had the yogurt and cucumber dip and the eggplant dip. $9 each and it was served with bread, butter, raw onions, and basil. Delightful! My table mate and I wanted the lamb chops, boneless chicken, and luleh kabob (ground beef). The waiter created a dish with these three offerings. All three meats were absolutely delicious! My toes curled it was so good! I orders the yogurt drink with gas. Refreshing. Yogurt and cucumber: B Eggplant: B+ Chicken boneless: A+ Lamb Chops: A+ Ground beef: B+ Service was outstanding: A This is going to be one of my regular places to visit. Delicious! read more

I ordered today unfortunately with this place food was terrible shish kabab was dry & burned and luleh kabab same don't order from here waist money not tasty at all read more

I got the Abgusht and it was a very small portion for the price. The taste was good but not for the small portion. Also no sides to go with it. read more

Excellent food here. Plate of raw onion and basil set out first. Our Soltani Kabob and Luleh Kabob plates were enormous. We probably should've just split one. They were both delicious. Meats were tender and flavorful. Rice was awesome. The fresh bread was warm, and great. Service was good. The restaurant is in a 3 store corner mall, so the parking is really tight (lot is shared by a liquor store, a pizza place, a bar, and the restaurant). The inside is fairly basic but nice old photographs on the wall. Highly recommend. read more

Juicy and flavorful meat and their freshly hot taftan bread with the onion on the table was the perfect pairing. I liked that they gave a lemon to squeeze on my chicken kabob too- made it extra tasty. It's a small, cozy spot in Glendale. Good place to go without any fuss. The food definitely speaks for itself! read more

Hubby picked this place on our way to LA. It's a very small establishment in a very small corner "mall". Luckily, we got the last parking spot on the lot. There was only one table occupied when we walked in around 7pm on a Wednesday. Waiter is friendly and gives us a run down on all the kabobs. Hubby ordered the soup (Dizi) and three kabobs entrees for the 4 of us. They put the kabobs in the middle on a pizza stand. Then, they brought three plates of basmati rice. We then realized they put all three entrees onto one plate. It's shocking to see how small is the serving size of all three combined entrees. For a mom and pop shop setting, they are charging the nice restaurant pricing. Aside from the serving size and pricing, I would say the food does taste pretty good. It's similar to Shalizaar in Belmont, CA that is close to our home. I could only give it three stars as the food, serving size, and ambience do not equate to its high price. I would pass on this. read more

Very disappointing experience at Nerses kabob Shop. An employee named Boshke An was extremely rude and had zero customer service manners. If you don't have the patience to deal with customers, you probably shouldn't be working at the front. Maybe one day someone will teach him what basic customer service looks like. read more

Authenticity!! Family owned, very accommodating to sit you soon as they can. We loved the bread and the soup!! Great delicious entrees and portions for sharing and reasonable pricing. Just wish it wad spacious but they are very mom and pop like treatment. Traditional and don't forget the tea!! read more

This place is amazing. Food. Service. Dizi They bake their own bread !! Friendly people. Delicious food. They have a room for your private parties !!! Once you eat here you are hooked !!!! Everything in menu is made with love in the business for a long long time !!! I saw few actors and singers here. Food is delicious !!! read more

I honestly have no complaints about the food itself. However, every single time I come here, they try to overcharge or add extra charges to the bill. It feels intentional and very dishonest. This kind of behavior is disrespectful and unacceptable. Customers should not have to double-check their bill every visit. Unfortunately, because of this, I will not be returning.Shame on you!!! read more

To be very honest, I wouldn't ever go back! Our first visit here, very unusual place, somewhat mismanaged! There were very peculiar things that happened, ordering was very suggestive, three of the items we wanted, we were told not to order! Can't figure that one out, while other tables were ordering the same things! The appetizer required their freshly made bread, but none was brought, only after we asked multiple times. Then they only brought one for a table of four! Other tables were being served baskets full of bread. Long story short, this place is not the real surprise we expected, but rather a place to avoid! We know what great food and service is, this establishment falls short at all levels. Interesting fact, their bread is rather good. read more

Small place. Parking hard to find but so worth it. Good and fast service. Come here a lot.

As you can see one of the best place in Glendale to eat Persian food, we love this place. They're very clean and welcoming. Very delicious. Best service ever they have the best salads and yogurt. Also, they made the bread at the store. They brought you as warm aa they can Love love Can't be happier read more

I usually order take out from this place. Their service is very professional and polite . And they have high quality and delicious food.

I have been trying their "Ghorme Sabzi", "Gheymeh" and "ab Gusht" and let me tell you that you won't be able to find any other place that makes such an amazing dish. They will never disappoint you! 10/10 read more

Nersses Vanak has kept up the quality of their food for years. My family and I have been a long time customers from Tehran. We contacted the owner to host a small family gathering and he was amazing and so accommodating. we reserved the back room that is beautifully remodeled for our gathering. The food was amazing, the service provided was top notch & we all enjoyed our time. Can't say enough about this establishment ( yes it's way better than Raffis). read more

Amazing. Service is great. Cozy little spot. Everything is delicious but my favorite is their chicken breast pieces. The fresh bread they bring out is so so addicting and yummy. Must try. read more

I've been coming here for decades and the food has always been amazing. One of the best kabob spots of all time

Traditional Persian cuisine like the old establishment back in the old country. Small restaurant with limited number of tables, it was packed, food is very good and service is great. If you like fancy ambience this will not suffice read more

I've only tried the luleh kabob as takeout so far. It was excellent; some of the best I've ever eaten. The staff was extremely friendly even though it was super crowded. It being crowded did mean even just picking up a to-go order took over 30 minutes, though. We got lucky and found a parking space nearby. read more

For authentic Persian kabobs, I highly recommend this establishment. The quality of both the food and customer service is excellent. Their food is delicious and the staff are polite and friendly. read more

Quality service! Food made with love! Positive vibes all around! Chicken was so juicy tea hit the spot, will definitely be back!

We used to be regulars here, but after several dreadful experiences, we've had enough. Our most recent takeout order was an absolute disaster. The wings were burnt beyond recognition, and when we called to address the issue, the staff responded with blatant rudeness, showing no concern for their mistake. Our dine-in experiences have been equally abysmal. On one occasion, we waited over an hour just to place our order, and when the food finally arrived, it was cold and unappetizing. The server seemed indifferent to our complaints, making us feel like we were an inconvenience. Another time, we decided to give them another chance, hoping it was just a one-off bad night. Unfortunately, it was the same story. We had to flag down the server multiple times just to get a glass of water, and our meals took so long to arrive that we were on the verge of walking out. The worst part is that each time we tried to address these issues with the staff, we were met with indifference and even attitude, as if they couldn't care less about their customers. After consistently bad service, long waits, and poor treatment, we won't be returning. With Raffi's Place being that big the servers are attentive. read more

Nersses Vanak is definitely one of the best kabob restaurants in Los Angeles. The place isn't fancy and reminds me of traditional kabob spots in Tehran. The portions are generous, and the food is really good (their koobideh is a must-try). All orders come with fresh, hot baked bread. The service is friendly and super fast. The food quality is way better than overrated restaurants like Raffi's. read more

No ambiance whatsoever. Bright LED lights glare down from the ceiling at night. Food and presentation mediocre, although the bread was good. Waiters were attentive. Bill came to over $80 for 2 people. We were shocked after reading all the outstanding reviews. read more

My dad decided to have us eat here for his birthday yesterday. We were served Naan and the waiter suggested we try the Yogurt Shallot with it. My dad got one of the stews alongside a Luleh Kabob, my mom got the Shish Kabob, my brother got the Barg Kabob, and I got the Chicken Kabob with Bone. I was not a big fan of the chicken or the stew, but enjoyed the other pieces of meat that I tried from each of my family member's plates with the Luleh and Shish Kabob ones being my favorites. The rice that came with the dishes was pretty good and the Yogurt Shallot was really tasty with the Naan. I would definitely come back, but order to-go since the vibe inside the restaurant was a bit overwhelming for me. read more
