Armenian Khachapuri- eggs were cooked overdone. :(
ChicagoFoodie S.

I came back and tried their tea, Armenian Khachapuri, and the Gata bread. Everything was Great, however, I did ask for the eggs to be over-easy which were cooked overdone... So the Armenian Khachapuri wasn't as good and it could have been.

Vegetarian kachapuri
Beshoy E.

My all time favorite breakfast place. I have been here so many times. The staff working there know me. Their food is outstanding! My wife and I have been here so many times when we are in the area. Kachapuri is a must have. I use to get the regular one and now I get the vegetarian one. Both are amazing! I highly recommend and will always return

Persian bakery with excellent service and a beautiful, tranquil interior of - you guessed it - pink orchids! I love the orange-flavored Bundt cake with walnuts and raisins. Though not a raisin fan, there aren't many. The cake is fresh, moist and not overly sweet. Got my picky mom one for Mother's Day and she loved it. It's 15, and the smaller version is loaf shaped. The round flat bread spinach, onion and mushroom pizza, $3, was delicious and light. The Cappuccino cake lacked flavor but had a good chocolate shell. Other single cake servings and pastries by the pound are available. Also saw challah behind the counter. They sell packages of nuts though prices aren't marked. They also serve sandwiches, salads and soups. There's lots of metered street parking. One day I need to dine inside surrounded by the beautiful, warm flowers.

Knocked the cake out of the park again! We ordered a cake for my daughter and wow, did Pink Orchid deliver! Taste was great, presentation was wow! Thank you for the effort and for making our cake dreams come true!

My friend took me here to try a variety of Persian sweets! We also had the khachapuri which was absolutely delicious and flavorful. There was plenty of searing inside. I really enjoyed their carrot juice which was freshly squeezed with a scoop of ice cream! Parking is street parking and meters were free when we went on Sunday! I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Cappuccino cake
Pedro S.

A year ago, I bought a Napoleon pastry from this place -- it was terrible, even though I specifically asked for something fresh. Today, since I didn't have time, I made the same mistake again and went back there to buy dessert. The cappuccino cake looked good, so I picked it -- but honestly, I just wasted both my time and money. I have no idea how old that cake was; the inside was completely dry, the sponge texture crumbled apart, and the outer cream was a total disaster. Awful. The worst quality cream ever. I'm never going back there again. As for the service , the young lady working there was very polite and kind, but the woman who seemed to be the owner didn't allow her to take my order first. She told her to go clean a table instead, and I had to stand at the counter for about 10 minutes waiting just to get my order.

Absolutely wonderful lively bakery with beautiful treats displayed under the counter. I wanted to try everything. Ultimately we ordered some baklava, a cream puff, two fruit tarts, a Dubai chocolate cake and the woman helping us gave us a free Dubai chocolate donut. The baklava was amazing. Definitely my favorite. The raspberry tart and Dubai chocolate donut were also great. I can't wait to go back and try more delicious Persian desserts.

florentine, biscuit cake, tres leches, strawberry napoleon
Kristen V.

The Pink Orchid has the friendliest staff and a beautiful display of cakes and pastries. With so much to choose from, I'll just have to make another visit here soon. I ordered the strawberry napoleon which was light and creamy. My brother-in-law had the tres leches and florentine. The cake was moist and sweet. A perfect balance of cake and cream. My sister had the biscuit cake which was super cute, but its flavor was just okay. We'll be exploring their other desserts next time! :)

I can't thank this bakery enough for making my bridal shower so sweet and unforgettable! I ordered all of the desserts from here, and not only were they absolutely stunning to look at, but the taste was out of this world. Everyone at my shower was OBSESSED, literally nothing was left by the end of the party because my guests couldn't stop going back for more. I worked directly with Armine, who was so kind, attentive, and wonderful to work with. And when I went to the bakery in person, I was so impressed, the entire team was incredibly professional, welcoming, and truly cared about every detail. Their desserts didn't just taste amazing, they truly added to the beauty and joy of the celebration. This bakery has officially become my go-to for every future event. They made my memories even sweeter, and I'll forever be grateful

Turmeric Braised Chicken - The dish was a bit on the basic end, not a lot of seasoning but you could taste the tumeric. Chicken was tender but slightly on the drier side which was a bit surprising considering it was dark meat (6.5/10) Kofteh Tabrizi - The tomato taste was prominent in the broth but the meatball itself was overly salty. The flavor was one note, I can't see myself ordering this again as I've heard this dish should have more complex flavors so I was disappointed (5.5/10) Kotlet Plate - As you can see from my picture, the kotlet was burnt beyond repair and I could taste the bitterness from the overused oil they used to fry it. I did like the yogurt spread and the pickles that came with it but I did not like the kotlet at all. We didn't bother asking them to replace it (4/10) Mirza Ghasemi w/ Barbari bread - The star of this whole experience was the Mirza Ghasemi, the roasted eggplant and tomato spread came cold and it was the most delicious thing we had. One of my friends vacuumed it right up before the rest of us could have seconds. Bread was a bit dry but it was a great vehicle for the Mirza (8.5/10) Lamb Gheimeh - Lamb was tender and it had some nice spices infused in there but it didn't wow me in any way (7/10) Sholezard - Our waitress brought over some complimentary Ceylon tea with the Sholezard which was kind. This rice dessert was not too sweet. The warmth and saffron ended our meal in a comforting way. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again (7/10) +1 star for the service

It's a great place to order for a crowd, say two senior citizens, their three adult children, and their partners and kids, or some combination thereof. I see the place offers catering, and that makes sense to me. Everything is delicious and easy to share. TehranRo is in Koreatown and is in fact named for a street in Seoul, a street named for Tehran, Iran (there is a corresponding Seoul Street in Tehran). The owner is a Persian guy with evident fondness for Koreans, or at least for my dad, who is a regular at the brick and mortar (my dad goes to like ten restaurants, and TehranRo is one of them). I hope to meet him sometime, as I keep hearing about this cross-cultural bromance. In the meantime, I have very much enjoyed the food at home. The hummus is great, as are the must o khiar and must o mouseir--homemade yogurt mixed with shredded cucumbers and mint (khiar) and shallot (mouseir). The shirazi salad is fresh and zippy, with cucumber, tomato, red onion, scallion, dried mint, and olive oil lime juice dressing. The grilled meats, of course, are the main attraction, and I'd really recommend any and all of the skewers, which you can get a la carte or in various combinations. I love the koobideh, both the beef and lamb and the chicken. Liberally seasoned, with a firm but yielding texture. If ground meat isn't your thing, both the beef and chicken shish kabob are excellent. The beef is marinated filet mignon, the chicken either marinated chicken breast tenderloin or boneless chicken thigh--I definitely prefer the thigh. You can get shishlik too, rack of lamb marinated with a spice blend. I'd also highly recommend the mahicheh, a stewy dish of lamb shank slow-cooked for several hours until it almost slips off the bone, served with white basmati rice topped with saffron. All of the entrées come with rice, naan, and charbroiled jalapeño and tomato. You can upgrade your rice for an extra charge, and I think this is worth doing, especially if you're putting in a bunch of orders. I'm partial to the albalo polo, or cherry rice, and also enjoy the baghali polo, a green rice laced with herbs. If you're craving Persian food near Koreatown, check out TehranRo for dine-in, takeout, or delivery. The food is high quality, and I kind of love the Korean connection.

Spot gives sports bar, and the server came up immediately. We ordered koobideh, rack of lamb and hummus. Koobideh was moist (sorry hate the word) and good flavor. Lamb chops were well done, which isn't my fav (prefer medium to medium rare) but had a nice char. Salad dressing that came with the salads was unique. The acidity was needed. Hummus was probably my favorite thing. Not sure if we would be back, but solid option in ktown if you do want variety.

That personal interaction reminded me of the philosophy behind places like The French Laundry in Yountville, where dining is not simply dining and its more about serving a plate of food the chef, ingredients, story, and hospitality are all part of the unique experience. Of course, this is Persian dining, but that same level of pride and personal attention made our evening feel special. The koobideh was outstanding (eventhough we ordered All Javan Combo to try most of the kababs in menu) for someone who knows the flavors of Tehran, it is very difficult for me to find koobideh in the States that gives me that familiar taste of home. This one did. The meat quality was exceptional, and everything was beautifully prepared. We ended up to ordering some to go koobideh. The torshi was beyond this world, and their homemade mast o moosir and doogh (yogurt drink) were excellent. Everyone was professional and welcoming, but Ali's presentation was what made the experience memorable. If you miss Iran, or simply want to experience genuine Persian food and hospitality, this is the kind of place that brings back that feeling. It wasn't just dinner. It was an experience.

The food itself was delicious…read more We didn't experience the ambiance since we placed a delivery order. However, I have to give this two stars because we ordered two items specifically for several vegetarians in our party: the ghormeh sabzi and the gheimeh. Based on the descriptions provided on Uber Eats, there was no indication whatsoever that either dish contained meat. We had never had Persian food before, so naturally, we relied on the restaurant's own menu descriptions when ordering. What makes this especially frustrating is that the descriptions listed multiple ingredients in each dish while completely omitting the meat. Meat is not a minor garnish or an ingredient customers should be expected to infer--it is a fundamental part of a dish and something customers need to know before ordering, particularly those with dietary restrictions. Worse, one of the vegetarians in our party actually ate some of the food before realizing there was meat in it. They have deliberately maintained a vegetarian diet and would never have knowingly chosen to eat meat, so realizing afterward that they had unknowingly broken that commitment was genuinely upsetting. This could have been avoided by simply including the word "beef" or "meat" in an accurate description of the dish. Everyone had been looking forward to trying the food, but a significant portion of our large order ended up going to waste. Since we ordered late in the evening, the vegetarians in our party were left with essentially nothing to eat and had to settle for chips. The food was genuinely good, which makes this even more disappointing. Accurate menu descriptions are a very basic expectation. Customers should not need prior knowledge of Persian cuisine or have to Google every unfamiliar dish to discover that the restaurant left a major ingredient out of its own description.
