    Koobideh Kabob
    Michael Y.

    Great experience here. Servers were quite nice and the koobideh was juicy and boneless chicken had a good char, yet still very tender. Raffi's is the closest comparison I can compare to and it competes very well + no wait when I went!

    Koobideh Combination Tahdig + Combination of 3 Stews

    A staple in my household. Never fails to satisfy 10/10 Neda is wonderful, as well as the entire staff + amazing prices!

    Dessert!

    Enjoyed outstanding Persian cuisine in a welcoming and accommodating atmosphere. We were seated outdoors which felt like a private dining experience. We started with shared appetizers of delicious hummus, eggplant, dolmeh and a yogurt cucumber sauce. For dinner my partner and I shared a scrumptious Sadaf combination #3 which included succulent and uniquely marinated rack of lamb ribs, juicy and flavorful chicken and steak. We highly recommend the Sadaf salad as an upgrade for a small price which includes dates, olives, fresh walnuts and feta. Wine available by the glass and bottle. The Persian ice cream with pistachio and rose water was a divine close to our evening. Some limited street parking available and a lot next to the restaurant.

    Rack of Lamb

    Best Persian food in LA. Totally upto par with food in Iran. The lamb is definitely a standout. Have not found better! Definitely try to street park. Their parking lot is expensive.

    Juicy Chicken with sadaf salad!

    Went back for the lunch experience. The chicken was not as amazing as the first time. I still like their salad. The chicken lunch special including tip was about $32. It was a large portion. The service was challenging. Our server would forget things and appeared to be distracted. He was on his phone most of the time. It's a charming restaurant but service today was a miss. The food was still pretty good not great.

    Combination of 3 Stews Lunch

    Fresh cooked meals, wide menu variety, & a great service. This place is good. Only reason it lost stars is because i've have better Persian food before. But I still really enjoyed my food. I ordered the combination 3 stews which comes with fesenjun, ghormesabzi, & one other bean stew that I forgot the name of. It was pretty good. Fesenjun is my favorite persian food but I've have better ones many times. The meat inside it wasn't very tender.

    Combination of 3 Stews, all delicious - 5 stars!

    I'm not too familiar with Persian food, but after dining here last weekend I'd definitely like to try more! This restaurant is cozy, chic, and the customer service was excellent!! Below is what we tried: Hummus - 4 1/2 Stars. This tahini hummus was the perfect consistency and rich in flavor. Definitely get this was a side of pita to scoop it up with, though would have been better if the pita was warm. One order is a portion big enough for 4 people. Juicy Chicken - 5 stars! Cooked perfectly, the name does it justice -- this was juicy, rich in flavor and delicious. Beet Salad - 4 stars. The beets were good, could have used a bit more feta and walnuts. (Personal preference) Plain Tahdig - 3 1/2 stars. My buddy liked this, I thought it tasted a bit stale. This is basically crispy rice that pairs well with stews. Combination of 3 Stews - 5 stars. This was excellent! Each stew was robust and rich in flavor and excellent with rice or the leftover pita from the hummus. I unfortunately can't tell you what all the stews were, but I want them again! All in all, this is a solid spot for classic Persian dishes in an intimate environment.

    Juicy Chicken + Shirazi Salad
    Jono M.

    There is no greater joy than a restaurant achieving what it has promised and Sadaf did just that during my visit. I ordered the Juicy Chicken but little did I know I'd be served the juiciest, and perfectly flavored chicken breast I've had in my life. To make matters even more impressive, the Shirazi Salad was fresh, bright, and I took the liberty of dipping the last bits of my chicken in the citrusy juice--what an absolute treat. Visit them for your next professional meeting, date, or catch-up with your best friend. It's a classy space with a super attentive staff, and at a shockingly reasonable price for BH. Enjoy!

    Truly the best Persian restaurant in all of LA! Possibly even the entire country! My husband and I…read morehave been reugulars here for over 5 years since we moved to the area. We always enjoy coming here and being welcomed with open arms by all of the wonderful staff. The food is always delicious and fresh! A few years back I had my Birthday party here with around 20 people. We rented out the entire patio for the party, had two dedicated waiters and were able to set up a family style dinner no problem! They are always accommodating and professional. Thank you to all of the incredible waiters, managers, food runners, bussers, chefs!

    Ok now i know why its 4 stars. Food is delicious but I called to make reservation because i have 2…read moreseniors w me to be accommodated the person who picked up the phone said we don't take reservations unless its for a big party. As i push my moms wheelchair and ask if we can sit by a table which is next to window and has enough space to maneuver her chair, " he says this is reserved!!!" My blood already beginning to boil. Then they squeeze us to the end corner where my mom is sitting diagonally and i have to get up move the chairs adjacent to our table to make her chair fit at the table so she can eat comfortably. This setting could have been ready for us so my parents don't feel uncomfortable and the party of 5 is feeling welcomed. Now i know why this place is stock on 4 stars. Maybe it even deserves 3.

    Sunnin has an incredible menu, and it's easy to see why they've been a local favorite for so many…read moreyears. The flavors are authentic, vibrant, and consistently delicious. They've also done a great job evolving with the times, offering plenty of clearly marked vegan options along with choices for other dietary needs, including gluten-free. Everything we ordered was excellent. The grape leaves were fantastic, the eggplant dishes were so flavorful, and the portions were very generous. The foul (bean dish) was delicious, and when we asked if they could add a little extra to it, they were happy to accommodate us. The service was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. And don't skip dessert--the baklava is some of the best we've ever had. I understand they've recently changed how they make it, and the result is outstanding. It's wonderful to see a restaurant that has stood the test of time while continuing to evolve. We can't wait to return and explore more of the menu.

Being so close to a zillion restaurants at my feet, my friend's "significant" said let's do some Mediterranean food tonight. I put my thumbs-up and it was unanimous: Sunnin Lebanese Cafe on Westwood Blvd. and Santa Monica Blvd. it was. Well, I never heard of this place, but I said "let's Go"! When we pulled up to this strip mall entrance that was overflowing with human beings wanting a table at very happy this very we had a RESY. We ordered: * Hummus of course - which was delicious * Babaganouj - which was creamy and extremely dippicle [sic] * Beef Kafta Kebab - just lovely * Taboulah Salad - that was excellent * Fool or Ful depending on what Mideast country - was deepened with fava beans * Alamaza Lebanese beer that paired perfectly with our dinner. The staff here were friendly, helpful and accommodating. I've been gone from Los Angeles close to five years now, and every time I come back, I get a nice surprise like I did at Sunnin.
