Been here for the 2nd time. I called and placed my order, they are only 4 min away from my gym. Got 2 Koobideh dinners. Swapped out normal basmati, and got lentil rice $3 up charge (WORTH IT), and barberry rice $2 upgrade (delightful). I also asked for some Tahdig, they placed some on top of each koobideh dinner. They do Tahdig better! A layer of lavash bread cooked to crispy perfection with a layer of crispy rice under it. Perfectly seasoned. I seriously enjoyed this last night! I also tried for the first time, egg plant dip with stewed tomotoes puree. So tasty!!!! I ate it with lavash, some of the lentil rice and some homemade radish kimchi (LOL). And I also got a full menu. Excited to review it and order more. The portion size is very good, you can split each koobideh dinner into a few meals so it makes the price justifiable. Their food is seriously so delish! I think it is the best Persian food of my entire life!!!

Surenres is a hidden little gem a takeout only kitchen tucked near John Wayne Airport that delivers way above its weight. The food comes out fresh, fast, and flavor forward, perfect for travelers, office crews, or anyone who wants a legit, no nonsense meal without the sit down wait.

Suren needs to be on your list. We ordered the chicken kabob, koobideh, and the lentil pilaf with lamb neck, and every protein was cooked perfectly. The lamb neck was fall-apart tender and packed with depth. The koobideh had that classic smoky char, and the chicken kabob was juicy and well-marinated. The barberry rice with chicken added a bright, slightly tart contrast that balanced everything out. Don't skip the smoked eggplant dip, it's creamy, flavorful, and honestly one of the best sides on the table. Finished with tiramisu which was light but still rich. It's a pick-up style setup (smart kitchen), so it's quick and convenient. Great option when you want something elevated but easy.

Kabab torsh

I'm usually skeptical of higher-priced Iranian restaurants as they rarely justify the premium, and I'll admit I had some initial sticker shock here. However, the quality won me over. One thing I always pay attention to is the rice, which most places treat as an afterthought, but they did a decent job here. I highly recommend the Kabab Torsh (available in lamb or chicken). It's a Northern Iranian specialty that is hard to find at most restaurants. If you're looking for a budget-friendly staple, the local Persian grocers are still your best bet-however if you want premium, Northern-style takeout, this is certainly worth trying.

Persian cookies

This was my first time ordering from this establishment, and I am pleasantly surprised. The food is delicious. I got the Kabab koobideh with somagh polo and it was wonderful. They also were kind enough to add in to cookies. Another cute personal touch was writing "Happy Nawruz" which is happy Persian new year on the bag. 10/10!

First time trying this place, I love koobideh so I was very curious. Ordered via Yelp online and then drove over walked in and picked up. It's like a contactless food lab. I ordered the Vaziri Kabab and it is delicious! The portion is pretty generous, but the kabobs were juicy, flavorful and the rice fluffy. Would recommend and will be coming back.

Very juicy chicken kabob

Well, I think I have a new favorite Persian kabob restaurant! It's pretty far from home, but I…read morecould easily work it into the flight path so to speak, between the Tustin REI and 17th Street in Costa Mesa. Located in a small but busy plaza, HOK is a small, potentially packed restaurant with a few tables outside. About half full mid afternoon on a Saturday, i got a table and quickly made a decision to try the combination plate with a chicken and kubideh kabob, with rice. Next time I'll branch out, but this first sample provided much pleasure and evidence that they can't do anything wrong (except be closed when I'm craving more ;) A few minutes after placing my order the warm flatbread came out with butter. Comparatively, many other Persian restaurants use Lavash sections, so I enjoyed the contrast. The neighboring table of four received their plates one at a time, so I figured the kitchen and grill were probably also fairly constricted like the lobby. Nonetheless, it didn't take long and the generous, colorful portions were a sight to behold! The first thing I noticed was how moist and tender both kabobs were. Not burnt or dry anywhere on either type. That's attributable to the elevated method of grilling, but here the chef has it down to a science. The second observation came later when I didn't feel excessively thirsty, or bloated, ir dehydrated. Some restaurants really brine the meat while marinating, but here it's another level of perfection. Good service and a reasonable price, although the menu prices might be behind current food costs. Still, it was totally worth it. I didn't have a way to keep leftovers in a safe temperature range, so I ate everything. Full, but not stuffed.

Super friendly staff and clean inside. Food: got the…read morechicken kabob, eggplant appetizer and side salad. Was amazing, fresh and authentic. So happy I found this place so I can support local family owned business.

OMG. We were holding out for a proper visit, but we couldn't wait any longer and decided to finally…read moreorder to-go. From what I understand, Aria is the recent addition to the growing Persian Empire of the Super Irvine dynasty. The parents run the grocery store, the daughters run the excellent Irvine Grill restaurant, and Aria Kitchen is their latest experiment. While we didn't order any Mexican fusion food, there were some of those same flavors that really came through. The bone marrow comes with a delicious garlicky olive oil to drizzle on top. The oil has a bit of a kick to it--- chili, maybe? that evokes more of a Mexican flavor profile than an Iranian flavor profile. Some of their fresh Pita dipped in it? Life changing. We liked the kabob--- it's pretty good. However, we're spoiled by their sister restaurant, Irvine Grill. Irvine Grill still takes the crown for our favorite kabob. Aria is still a strong contender, though! The Asheh Reshteh is probably my favorite dish here (if we're talking appetizers, their bone marrow is by far one of the best apps I've had ever). It's hard to find good Asheh Reshteh, because it has to hit that balance of well-stewed but not mushy. This one was excellent. They gave us plenty of Kashk to put on top too! Where Aria shines is in its variety and consistent quality. The food is all fresh and delicious, and the flavor combo (while surprisingly not wholly uncommon----NorCal has a handful of similar Mexican-Iranian fusion spots) is so well-paired. There's a damn good reason that Samin Nosrat opted for Mexico for her show when for geopolitical reasons she was unable to film with Netflix in Iran. Both cuisines love their citrus. I can't wait to visit Aria Kitchen and dine in-restaurant!

They made sure we had everything we needed, and patiently explained the food to us. We ordered our food with half salad and half rice for no additional charge. My mom had the lamb kebabs, which were fork-tender, popping with flavor. They were the best lamb kebabs I've ever had. I had the gheymeh stew. The flavor was less exciting (still good), but the eggplant and beef melted in my mouth. Our rice was topped with a pinkish crispy cracker that tasted like rice. Maybe it was a variation of tahdig. The salad was fresh and came with a nice dressing. We also had some of the house-made yogurt, which was hearty and refreshing. The space was well-lit and the open door kept it well ventilated. Videos of rural Persian cooking played on the TV. The walls were tastefully decorated with maps and photographs giving visitors a taste of Persian culture and history. If we didn't arrive at a lull in foot traffic, the noise might have been overwhelming for my mother, who is sensitive. Overall, we had a great experience and I will definitely be back!

Located on 1st in Santa Ana near Tustin, there's a wrought iron fence around the private lot, and the restaurant is open until 9pm most nights. I was surprised nobody was dining in, and except for a woman waiting for her takeout order to be made, I was the only person for most of the visit. I quickly realized the phone rings often, so most business is ordered ahead, with the option to eat there, in the car, or take home. Clearly, for presentation and likely quantity, I recommend eating there. The host is a nice older gentleman who literally does it all, and is so good it hardly seems like he's working. My Shish kabob plate came out faster than expected, and I was almost as impressed with the salad as the saffron rice and actual kabob, which is tender and amazing by the way. Basically, you pick a drink from the refrigerator, and I let him talk me into trying hummus, and appetizer, which ultimately comes with cut flatbread. His take is less creamy than other restaurants, but the flavors are fresh, without garlic. Don't worry, the salad dressing is a fantastic creamy Italian style. All-in-all, I was enjoying every bite and pretty much ate everything, although I preserved some hummus to eat at home. The price was commiserate with the quality, and I suppose I'll try more when I'm around the area.
