    Tehran plate with side of salad and rice(comes with order)
    Lyna K.

    Experience: Came here on a Sat early evening. No reservations, just walk up. We were seated outside, then once a party left we took the table inside by the window. Small space but cozy. There were people there. The food came out pretty quickly, music was lively inside. Cute location, I liked the cafe style set up. First time trying Persian food. Was fun being in this enclave. It's a good location and next to many other bakeries, shops, etc. Food: Ordered 3 small plates (roasted eggplant dip, hummus, and pickled veggies), tahdig with 2 stews, and the Tehran plate special, which came with a plate or rice and a salad. Everything was very very tasty. From the dips to the stews, rice, and juicy meets. Very fresh, seasoned well, good flavor, a great dinner meal. Service: It was more of an order at the counter experience, not much interaction, but didn't mind it. Parking: Metered parking on Westwood, on a Saturday evening, plenty of open spaces. Ended up parking in a neighborhood 2 minutes from the restaurant, very easy and convenient. Verdict: Fun date night idea and location. Would def recommend the cuisine to anyone, can't go wrong, delicious food.

    Chicken Barg kabob

    Amazing food and service. One of the best kabobs I've had. The two people working there did it all. A true family business. We will definitely be back and definitely recommend!

    Cute Persian spot on Robertson
    Michelle M.

    Visiting the area and found this spot near me, wow what a treat. The Lady who welcomed me and my friends is the hostess, cook and food runner. Worth the wait and I would wait again. Had the Chicken (Flat) kabob and salad with a side of pickled vegetables. YUMMY!!! Truly enjoyed the visit, sitting outside and enjoying this meal.

    Chelo Kabob Koobideh

    The Chelo Kabob Koobideh was a bit dry and just tasted like hamburger. Mast O Mosir was good. Nothing good enough for me to try anything else on the menu.

    The molded pita bread
    Totally C.

    Today I placed an order through GRUBHUB. I was craving the Ash e Reshteh soup because I hadn't had it in years. I've never eaten here before but I used to get the soup in Glendale. I ordered the soup with tabouli salad and requested pita bread on the side. My order was delivered and while I was eating the soup I noticed green mold on the pita bread. I called the restaurant and spoke to a woman and told her that there was mold on the pita bread. She said that it doesn't come with pita bread anyways. I told her that doesn't justify why I received the bread with mold on it. I told her that I'm going to post a review. She said do whatever you like!

    K7-Koobideh

    The food was amazing in my opinion, as one of the most underrated Persian restaurants in California. I got the #K7 and the meat was very flavorful with soft buttery rice and roasted veggies. I would definitely recommend anyone who loves beef to try it. A sweet lady runs the restaurant and although it was just my friends and I inside, she was so personable and made us feel at home. The inside of the restaurant is a little small but also has lots of outdoor seating where you can enjoy your meal. I personally would love to go again just to support the wonderful lady who works there but the food is definitely worthwhile as well. Overall I strongly recommend!!

    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.
