This place is one of my absolute favorites! The atmosphere, food, and service never disappoint. Big thanks to Bob who took care of us -- he was incredibly kind, lovely, super friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Thank you, Bob! read more

Was looking for Persian/Mediterranean place to take my wife on her birthday. Had in mind a clean slick place with elevated food and great ambiance that not only looked fancy but also had great food and service. This place did not disappoint me it's plenty of seating options and a good size menu. Food was excellent we ordered several dishes including appetizers all dishes were great. The steak and the lamp were my favorite. Parking is ample in lot and along street. Service was top notch our server kept coming around to check on us but not in an annoying manner. They are very friendly anyone who walked by our table asked if we needed anything and they were all willing to help. Definitely a Roth the drive for me. Portions were generous service was top tier food was excellent over all a great experience. read more

The main reason for this review is BOB HE WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The food is always great here. OWNER/MANAGER PLEASE UPDATE YOUR MENU BECAUSE WHATEVER I ASKED FOR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. Customer service was absolutely on point. Lighting was great not too bright the wine that was suggested to us by bob was great and as always food was absolutely delicious. Ambiance is great if you're looking for a chill night or a date night. The place is always clean and all staff are attentive and friendly. read more

-I'll start this off with the amazing service, I asked for too many things, lavash, onions, more lavash, pitcher of Diet Coke, more Diet Coke, pitcher of water, etc etc and everyone was eager to get us what we needed. -The food was amazing, I loved the chicken especially, it was tender and juicy. the Beef Koobideh could've used a little more salt or seasoning inside the meat but overall it was warm, soft and juicy and I added salt and sumac myself so it wasn't a big issue, same with the beef barg. -Interior and exterior design was elegant and upscale, including silverware, plates, bowls, etc. I'll be visiting again soon read more

We dined at Pardis Restaurant a couple of weeks ago and had an excellent experience. The ambiance is great and they have a parking lot in both sides of the building. The Kabab Torsh was particularly great, we got sour cherry rice with that and that was great too. Another wonderful dish was the Gheymeh Bademjan, which was equally delicious and well-prepared. We also had a sultani kabab which was tender and nice. They got a nice selection of wine and liquor as well. I also want mention Shadi, who started working at Pardis just a week ago that time and despite being new, she was fantastic and took great care of us. read more

Pardis - Portion for 6 people - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Glendale, California

We went here with a pretty decent sized group. And that's definitely what I would recommend you doing as well. There's nothing like sitting at the table when the server approaches with huge plates of food for your table to be shared by the group. So much fun... In any case, the food here was very good. I think everyone in the group found at least something they could enjoy. It's pretty standard/par for the course type of Persian food- nothing too special. But still very tasty... not in my top 10, but definitely a qualified contender. Service was also quite good and their outside dining area was very comfortable on a pleasant spring evening. Good times... read more

We love this place because it's always cozy, welcoming, and the food is consistently good. But this specific 5-star review is for our server last night, Bob, who truly went above and beyond. We had friends visiting us from out of state here in California, and he made sure we never felt rushed. Even though it was close to closing time, he created such a comfortable and relaxed environment that we were able to really enjoy our time together. His kindness and attentiveness made the evening extra special. read more

The place is great you can go casual or for a celebration. The food is great. I've been here a couple of times and the food is always great. The service was not as good the last time we were there but we hope the next time we get the male server. read more

The service we received was more than terrible. After being sat down, we waited up around 25-30 minutes to even receive menus and water. This was only after we had actively waived down the waiters for some time. I understand that waiters can be busy, but by the time we had received our menus, two parties that had arrived 10 minutes after us had already been served their appetizers. After another 30 minutes of waiting for our order to be taken, I once again waived down a waiter who shut me down immediately. After seeing that another party that arrived 30 minutes after us had received their appetizers as well, we left. Unfortunately, unless you look "rich" (white), they waiters will not pay any attention to you. The tables around us, filled with white people, had waiters visiting their tables every couple of minutes. Not to mention I had made a reservation to celebrate Valentine's day; they were expecting us, yet chose to ignore us. read more

Food is authentic. The koobideh is top notch. Thank you Bob for the excellent and warm service, appreciate you.

Legit. Everything is so fresh. You can tell they're using top-notch ingredients. We got a variety of kabobs and they were all so tender. The salad shirazi felt garden fresh. I knew this place was good, but on the way out my Persian parents gave a thumbs up to the manager and that's the best endorsement you could possibly get. read more

Food is excellent. Service beyond par. Ambiance elegant and relaxing with soft music. Highly recommended. Will go back and visit again.

Probably one of the worst Kabob dishes I have ever had. The main dish in any Persian restaurant is Soltani which consists of Beef filet kabob and Minced beef koobideh kabob and rice. The beef not only was not filet, it was chewy and disgusting! The koodideh was tasteless and burnt. The rice was just ok. And they charge $35 per plate! Which is higher than any good Persian restaurant. We ordered family style and asked for large plates, they only had desert size plates!!!! The service was good but the food was horrible! One strange thing, it was busy! I did notice most of the customers were not Persian so it may be that they do not know about authentic Persian food. Plus they may be ordering other dishes than the main course. Nice location good ambiance but awful quality. read more

The quality of food keeps going down not the same when they first opened up. They good greedier and cheaper by time. They are soooo cheap that they dont even put bread woth your food. And when you call them nicely and ask why is bread missing they don't accept it, instead they argue with you. So zero star for them read more

Usually the food and service are very good while dining in. However forget about ordering a delivery. They always get the orders wrong and today when I ordered from GrubHub the order that was delivered was missing all the main course items I ordered other than a a side dish of yogurt, Ikra and my drinks. The actual meal was missing. Called the restaurant and they said they gave the full order to the delivery person and basically said "not our problem" Terrible customer service. They just lost a great loyal customer. read more

We spend beautiful & very yummy evening with our friends on Sunday. Service was SPECTACULAR. Ambiance is welcoming & modern, comfortable seating for big parties like ours 9 people. Food was great, fresh, we loved everything !!!! Thank You ,good people of Pardis. After dinner we were so happy enjoying great company, drinking tea & coffee. When I left restaurant, I noticed: I forgot my beautiful hat on the bench. I just called PARDIS & very nice lady told me not to worry, they find it !!!! I am so delighted because of honest workers of this place ! Thank You so very much. read more

We came as a party of 2 with a third to join us later for dessert and wine. I was the first customer to arrive since I came in very shortly after opening. I thought it was a beautiful restaurant. The outdoor patio space was also very nice, especially since our third's dog was allowed. Since we were first, the service was stellar. Douglas gave us good recommendations and we ordered quite a lot. The manager even let us taste 2 wines, which was a good sales tactic. My partner ordered a bottle. All the food was delicious with huge portions. The chicken was the best with great flavor and texture. Maybe only the lamb was more so so. We had plenty of leftovers and then went outside to join our third with the dog. We ordered 3 desserts and our third ordered an appetizer, which I don't remember. All the desserts were good, but I don't remember all the names. One or two were firsts for me. It was also my first time having Armenian wine. The Armenian red was better than the cab or merlot or whatever it was. The manager came and let us taste the white wine while eating dessert and my partner ordered a bottle again! This was one of the best lunches I've had in a while and I thought the prices were very reasonable in a gorgeous setting with easy parking and fantastic service. Will definitely go back! read more

Pardis - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Glendale, California

I had a craving for Persian food and freshly made Persian flatbread; but I didn't feel like driving all the way to West LA. I searched via Yelp for a closer place and found Pardis. All I can say is I can't believe I've never visited this place before. Couldn't believe what I've been missing all this time. Raffi's seems to be the most popular place around here; but IMHO, Pardis is so much better. The ambiance is more modern and upscale than most of its peers. The service was very attentive and friendly. Like Shaherzad and Flame is west LA, Pardis serves piping hot flat bread made freshly on site. Once one tries this bread one will never go back to the prepackaged dry pita most places serve. I also found Ikra here, which is not always offered at other Persian places. It's a combination of mashed charred tomatoes and egg plant. It's a delicious diversion from babaghanoush with the same smoky flavor. It's a perfect spread for the flat bread The chicken koobideh was perfectly grilled and the texture of the ground chicken was smooth and juicy. The chicken kabob was also delicious. We opted for the dark meat and it had a perfectly charred crust and was super tender and juicy. Sorry Flame and Roffi. I've found my mew favorite Persian restaurant. read more

There's a lot of competition for great food here in Glendale, so the great restaurants really shine through. I was really impressed by Pardis. Immediately upon coming in, the first thing I noticed was 1. how bright and nice the place is and 2. how many large group dinner parties seemed to be taking place at once. My sister and I ordered the Soltani Kabob plate ($31) and a side of ikra ($10) to share. It ended up being more than enough for both of us; there were leftovers we took home. It was so delicious! The ikra was recommended by both Yelp and our lovely server, and it was such a delicious, rich flavor with so much depth-- the roasted eggplant flavor really shined through. I've only had the version from a jar before, so it was such an awakening to experience the real deal. I noticed that the "order" option here on Yelp (fulfilled by grubhub) looks way more expensive; for example, the soltani is $6 more. I know that they have to mark up their prices for the huge cut that services like grubhub take, so just wanted to make sure you were all aware. read more

Born and Raised with this type of food, But first time to this place, Parking : plenty , something rare ! In Glendale . Nice and clean Plenty of space to sit inside, patio or the open area where they call it garden. Full bar and as first time customer i was given a cold Armenian loger beer while waiting for my food. Staff is calm and professional Wait time was around 15 20 minutes from the time i paid. Prices are fair compared to similar places (excluding the parking space). I should mention that i have not tasted the food yet ! read more

delicious food, juicy meat, fresh bread, great service. we came here for christmas and bob was spiritful and jolly

Persian food well done for an excellent and great bargain weekend takeout for the lazy folks. The falafel delight was a delicious and fresh/moist combo whereas the Uzun Burun consisted of wonderfully tender sturgeon (a fish that is rarely available in takeouts but could be the result of Padis' next door neighbor Fish King?). Equally great was the fish kabob, whereas the chicken shish kabob was delicious but pretty much comparable to others; the Mast-O-Khiar provided a fresh note. Even though the order was a takeout, I got a quick look at the inside and atmosphere which appeared to be a bit tight but otherwise nice. read more

Went here for dinner over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal! A lot less pretentious than other Armenian food places in town. We sat in the back patio which is really awesome. They have heaters and a fire put. We felt appropriately distanced from other tables. They also have an indoor area and a back patio for large groups. I also liked that you can call in advance to reserve. When we got to the table, a big basket of the yummy flatbread was put out so we had to get hummus. Homemade and delicious... so much better than the store-bought stuff. The waitress also informed us of a wine sale that night going on, so my family and I split a bottle of red for $25 -- which is an amazing deal for a restaurant. We also ordered the Panir-O-Sabzi appetizer which was basically a big block of feta cheese served with walnuts and veggies. So simple but so delicious - especially with the wine! For dinner- my family ordered two plates of the Barg Kabob- which is thinly sliced filet mignon. It was perfectly sliced and seasoned and not too salty like other places I've been to, We had three people in our group and were hungry and two plates was definitely enough. They serve family style here. We saved some room for dessert and the waitress recommended we get rose water ice cream which was really interesting. Definitely tasted the floral notes! Overall this place is a winner and I would definitely go back again. New Glendale favorite! read more

Five Stars...checked all my boxes as a foodie / Middle Eastern Pescatarian that hates traveling more than 5 miles lately unless its court ordered. Food A+ They have STURGEON yall! It was cooked perfectly and the zereshk rice I asked for was delicious. Appetizers are wonderful- we chose the Torshi (pickled veggies), Cucumber Yogurt and Tadig. WONDERFUL vegetarian options. I THINK It was 3 apps for 25 dollars which was a great deal as the portions are large. Location A+ I live in Glendale and for 15 years home base for work is West hollywood-Its such a blessing when a wonderful restaurant opens up near me. I hate traveling to south glendale due to the congestion and lack of parking. PARDIS Is located NORTH Glendale, in a quiet street with ample parking. Lucky for me, less than a mile from where I live! AMBIANCE A- As an interior designer, I LOVED that they shifted more towards transitional/modern keeping in mind this is a middle eastern restaurant. It is a nice change from the older/traditional restaurants that have persian rugs hanging everywhere as decor. lighting was sexy and minimal~ Furniture was modern and comfortable. Bar area is beautifully designed and also a focal point in the restaurant. .....only issue is it was FREEZING. I HATE HATE HATE...did I say HATE?..air conditioning blowing on me. I easily get sick. I switched tables 2x to get away from the direct air and grabbed a jacket. This isnt a prison or an airplane..no reason to keep it at 65 degrees. Seating is EXCELLENT: Indoor, Outdoor, and Private room available. Cant wait to go back! read more
