    Kebab
    Janet S.

    We came here for Nowrooz lunch. I was skeptical of trying a Persian restaurant in Koreatown as we normally drive to Westwood for great Persian food. I'm so happy we tried this place - it's Westwood quality without having to drive all the way there. We tried their perfectly made kashkebaddmjoon, combo of chicken and beef shish kebab and chicken koobideh for my son. The food was chef's kiss. We parked in the front meter parking but there's valet available. The service was friendly - our waiter was a younger gentleman. The vibe is like a mixture of casual + fancy. Their restrooms are super duper clean - which I really appreciate as a person with ocd. Will definitely be back! Happy Nowrooz!

    I'd say TehranRo Grill was one of the most pleasant surprises I've had in a while, trying new places in Koreatown. I visited with my family to celebrate my birthday on a Tuesday evening, and we were seated promptly, with no wait time. Friendly people, cute little space, but it was the bursting flavors that really made this celebratory dinner unforgettable. We got the beef & lamb koobideh, chicken shish kabobs, and shrimp kabobs. My jaw was already on the floor when I saw the portions--but oh my goodness, everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The shrimp were so plump that even my picky choosy mom thoroughly enjoyed them! I actually get kabob cravings quite regularly. And to think all this time, I've been ordering underwhelming deliveries from the mid places when TehranRo Grill is just a short 10-minute drive from home? Damn. I've been missing out. I'll most certainly be returning and trying all of the different options. Can't wait.

    Such a great find. Thanks Yelp!!!! We stopped for dinner on our way to the airport and this place hit the spot. Great service as soon as we arrived through the final check. The food was so flavorful. My favorite was the koobideh kabob. So good. We also got the hummus too for a starter. It was a huge portion and very good. Overall excellent experience and would love to get back soon

    Eggplant Delight (Kashk e Bademjan)
    Stef M.

    Nice little place for dine in, with many tempting appetisers to choose from. We decided to try the eggplant delight, it's served warm and it's delicious! The soltani kabob was okay, not extraordinary. Tahchin was only available on weekends so we ordered this too, the baked rice was crispy on the outside and soft inside with shredded chicken in it sprinkled with barberries on top. The persian tea is just hot black tea, I do like it slightly bitter with no sugar. Service is excellent, definitely a five star. There's valet parking available for $4.

    What a great story.

    Food: This place is Top Notch. 10 out of 10. I am a Persian food Connossieur and this is some of the best I have had. The service is friendly and the food comes out quick and executed to perfection. The vibe inside is modern, clean, and please see my pictures for the backstory of the Korean influence behind this place. You can eat in or I also noticed alot of customers picking up take out orders.

    Hummus

    Food here was delicious! Hummus is a must order!! Large portion but a little expensive. $26 on average. Service is both quick and friendly! Inside is very clean and comfortable overall.

    Koobideh Combination
    Carlo G.

    Solid Persian/Middle Eastern restaurant in Koreatown! I visited this restaurant for an early Sunday dinner and my experience here was pretty good. Firstly, my friend and I were served an appetizer of flatbread and seasoned raw onions. We also ordered a hummus on the side. The hummus might have to be my favorite thing that we had here. It was so creamy and flavorful. It paired nicely with the onions wrapped up in the flatbread. It also paired well with the upcoming dishes we had. For the main entrée, I ordered the Koobideh Combination and it was good and standard. The minced chicken and beef logs were flavorful and juicy. The rice was fluffy and flavorful. Finally, the veggies were nicely charred and I liked how juicy the tomato was. The portion size was also massive. I had to to-go my leftovers which was good for 2 additional meals. For $23, it was a good value for the amount of food you get. The service was also good and our server was friendly and attentive. The interior was also nicely decorated and mostly clean despite being an older building. Overall, a solid experience here. I've had better Middle Eastern food elsewhere in LA, but this is a good option for an area that has predominantly Korean food options. There were also some Iranian families dining here when I visited, so you know the food is authentic.

    Koobideh,  Chicken Koobideh, and Lamb Shank (Mahicheh)!
    Jason L.

    Vibe: outdoor patio was nice and cozy Service: super friendly, even brought out water for the doggo that was with us! Food: so delicious - big portions, it could easily be 2 meals if I was going home, or you can share with someone. I had the koobideh, so tender!

    Christina G.

    At last! Finally tried TehranRo in K Town. Cute little authentic joint with extremely attentive and kind service. Food is yummy! Ordered a combo plate - chicken and beef were both really tasty but I preferred the chicken. Must try!

    Koobideh and chicken kabob

    Highly recommend this place. Great food. Great ambiance. The service is amazing and staff are friendly especially the owner.

    This has to be my favorite place in ktown. The food is DELICIOUS. I can eat my whole plate (but I won't feel good doing so lol). My go to dishes are the koobideh combination plate and hummus! I don't know how they get their koobideh to be so tender after being on the grill. Their flatbread for the hummus is addicting. I can eat stacks of it!!! I always leave happy and extremely full. Cannot wait to come back!

    Still amazing. Only wish I lived closer so I can visit them more often. My mom's favorite so brought her here for a nice Friday night dinner. Ordered the beef and chicken shish kabob combo, the chicken kabob and lamb shank. I made my gf order the combo which was delicious and can easily feed two or more. Mom always gets the chicken kabob and I tried the lamb shank which was so tender and tasty. I really liked the beef kabob as well, so the combo works well for us the next time we don't want a ton of leftovers. Also will always order the lamb shank which was amazing. Pro tip: if you don't have a lot of time, order ahead for takeout and you can stop in front for a short time to pick up your food!

    Came here for a group dinner on a Wednesday evening with some friends to celebrate our…read morefriendiversary! Bavel has been at the top of our list of places we've all wanted to try, so we were very excited to finally make it happen. Walking in, the space is beautiful and feels very elevated while still having that open-concept feel. There are cute plants and vines hanging from the ceiling and an open kitchen where you can see everything happening. The lighting was interesting though. Our table was lit very brightly, while some of the other tables looked much more dimly lit and intimate. Our server was great, and the sommelier was wonderful as well. We went with wine pairings throughout our meal, starting with a splash of sparkling white wine. HUMMUS DUCK 'NDUJA (tahini, parsley, cilantro, sumac, blistered pita)10/10. This was DELICIOUS. The texture and flavors were everything. SILKY smooth hummus with that fatty, deep flavor from the duck 'nduja. My goodness, I would like to drink it. The warm pita that came with it was pillowy soft and perfect for scooping everything up. Amazing dish. I would order this every single time, hands down. DRY AGED TROUT CRUDO (coconut citrus broth, charred chill & onion, mandarinquat, turmeric ginger oil, kaffir lime) 8/10. Crudo was yummy with the coconut citrus sauce. Tangy, a little sweet, herby, zesty, with the fattiness of the fish. But I didn't taste anything especially different even if it was dry aged. ROASTED CAULIFLOWER (vegetable curry sauce, rose pickled beets, garam masala, horseradish, cilantro)7.5/10. This dish was good, but nothing spectacular compared to everything else we had. The flavors were there, but overall it tasted a little more muted in comparison to the rest of the meal. GRILLED OCTOPUS (skordalia potatoes, broccoli, lamb XO, dill, lemon, olive oil)9/10. Loved! SO TENDER. I've had plenty of octopus that ends up chewy or overcooked, so I really appreciated how perfectly this was cooked. ROMANO BEAN TEMPURA (cashew cardamom cream, tomato date chutney, black garlic aioli, smoked habanero)8/10. The sauces were SO good with the tempura beans. The batter was very light and crispy, while the beans themselves were cooked until just tender enough. Such a good bite in terms of both texture and flavor. SLOW ROASTED LAMB NECK SHAWARMA (tahini, ajika, pickled vegetables, carob molasses, laffa)10/10. AMAZING DISH. The meat literally fell off the bone. I already love the flavor of lamb, and this one was just chef's kiss. The tangy pickled vegetables paired with the rich lamb and tahini worked so well together and made for the perfect bite. 10/10 would recommend if you like lamb and have people to share it with! 22OZ BONELESS MARGARET RIVER RIBEYE (fermented mushroom cream, marinated cucumbers, dill)9.5/10. This was cooked SO WELL. The fermented mushroom cream was an amazing sauce to pair with the steak. There are a lot of rich, fatty elements here, so the marinated cucumbers were perfect for breaking everything up and balancing the bite. One of my biggest takeaways from the entire meal: DO NOT SKIP THE SAUCES. Every sauce, condiment, and side that came with the dishes felt intentional and elevated the flavors exponentially. 10/10 sauce situation going on at Bavel. For dessert: STRAWBERRY SUMAC & SWEET CHEESE PASTRY (pistachio ice cream, sheep's milk ricotta, cured sumac)9/10. I'm not a huge sweets person, but this really hit the spot. I do love a good pastry, and the ricotta was just sweet enough without being too sweet, which in my eyes makes for a perfect dessert. NOUGAT ICE CREAM BAR (dark pecan caramel, chocolate butter cake, chocolate shell)9/10. Another great dessert. Loved the chocolate, the deep caramel flavor, and the nuttiness from the pecan. Great textures too, although the chocolate shell made it a little difficult to cut and share! Honestly, I want to come back just for the hummus. Everything was delicious, the wine pairings were great, portions were generous enough for sharing, and the service was wonderful. Bavel is such a lovely spot for an elevated dining experience, whether you're coming with a group or for a date night. Loved our experience here. Thanks for a great meal, Bavel!

    the good: mushroom kebab was nicely seared with crisp edges (waiter suggested a pistachio sauce…read morerather than cream); the pinkish trout was pretty much a cebiche in a coconut-type marinade. didn't try the salad nor the pâté, but sitting at the counter watched both being made and they seemed appealing. the mediocre: the shawarma is the most written-about item. it's a sizeable lump of very fatty meat, and treated as such--more akin to the most gelatinous cut brisket or pastrami than to shawarma. ok, but not keen to eat this again. the bad: mostly the price...ok, it's not street shawarma or cebiche, so one would certainly pay far more in for the restaurant versions. but this is now about double even the inflated pricing. the place is hopping with a mostly younger crowd and just enough tourists to keep it filled...

One thing you absolutely cannot skip is the edamame hummus. I had never even heard of edamame hummus before coming here, and now I can't believe I went so long without trying it. It was smooth, fresh, and full of flavor while putting such a unique twist on traditional hummus. It's one of those dishes that completely changes your expectations and has you thinking about it long after you've left the restaurant. On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding. Everyone made us feel genuinely welcome, and the atmosphere was warm, relaxing, and perfect whether you're grabbing a casual lunch or having dinner with friends or family.
