Grilled fresh!
Ted H.

As with everything, and bit on the pricey side...but I will say it felt it was worth it. We ordered the #11beef and chicken combo plate (falafel + salad side) and a #22 beef wrap (hummus side). The salad with combo was very good, not just some greens thrown on the plate. There was lettuce, spinach, and chopped tomato with cucumber. Dressing was not the typical yogurt, but a citrus oil that was very good. The falafel side was an order u to itself, and was piping hot/fresh! The beef in the wrap was the same as the combo plate (not the luleh/ground meat). Wow!! It was grilled to perfection and tender!! The chicken was also very thick, not fatty, and very flavorful. Beware the toum (garlic spread)...it's POTENT . Super bonus points for giving extra bread (lavash) with dinner. It was the perfect amount with the extra hummus and my combo plate. Cons: no pickles with the combo plate. Water is $2/bottle for Costco/Kirkland, which I don't understand as all their utensils and plates are not plastic, so why not offer tap water, too? Parking lot is very "active" with the laundromat next door.

If you're looking for amazing Mediterranean food, York Kabob is ALWAYS the spot. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Everything perfectly seasoned, the portions are more than generous, and everything tastes authentic and homemade. What really makes this place stand out is the owner. Leo took care of us, and you can tell he truly cares about their customers and take pride in the restaurant. The service is welcoming, friendly, and consistent every single time. This is one of those local gems you want to support again and again. Highly recommend York Kabob to anyone craving great Mediterranean food and great service. I'll always be back!

Several years later, everything was positive. The takeout was nicely arranged in its box, looked appealing, and the salad leaves were fresh. The kabob meat (chicken and lamb) were both wonderfully tender and juicy. The rice was a very charming base. All taken together, the place was delicious and worth the money. PREVIOUS REVIEW There are two locations, one in Pasadena, one in Eagle Rock. What do I expect for a quick lunch place?? Quick (as it says), good quality food, and reasonable price. This place meets most of these criteria: the wrap I chicken chose from a whole variety of Mediterranean choices was fresh, juicy and I would not hesitate to try more items from the menu; it is comparably pricy (14.21$ with beloved diet coke); but most importantly the service was (despite emptiness of the place and acknowledged by the chef with an apology) exceedingly slow. Thanks that I have an iPhone ...

I have been going to this place for years. I'm very friendly staff and good relaxing ambience, the food is always delicious and what I like specifically about this place is that the meat is juicy and flavorful. This service is usually relatively fast. Have enough tables and also parking space.

Chicken & Beef Kabob Combo Plate and Medium baba ganoush side and free eggplant dip.
Deidre M.

My car was in the shop and I was starving so we ordered a late lunch via Delivery through DoorDash yesterday. I received $7 off bc it was placed during "happy hour promo" window on the app but still came out to $35 with taxes, fees tip. I ordered the chicken kebab + beef lule kabob combo, medium size Babaganoush and received a free small eggplant tomato dip. The meat was of high quality for sure, but I found the combo to be a bit lackluster for the price $25. I thought the salad would've been a cucumber type when it was just bagged lettuce with a weird vinegar type dressing and some rice. No hummus, or other vegetable or spread side came with it. Note: I could've received the grilled pepper and tomato instead of the salad. The medium size baba ghanouj was also small when comparing with other places (and didn't come with bread). Both dip and garlic spread seem to have a lot of ground pepper in it. I also didn't realize that this would be served with lavash instead of pita bread - but it makes sense learning later that this is a more a Persian establishment. Overall, it was a decent meal, but I probably will try other places.

Lamb chops

used to love dining at Elena's in Glendale, but after the change in ownership, both the prices and the food shifted. Recently, I've been going to York Kabob, and it's starting to bring back the feeling of how Elena's used to be. Today I tried the lamb chops, and they were excellent--perfectly seasoned, just the right amount of salt, and not at all gamy. If you're in the Highland Park, CA area, I highly recommend York Kabob. It's not fancy, but the food is consistently delicious!

Eggplant dip
Rebecca C.

Excellent service! staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is great! My steak was very fresh and the rice very tasty! The restaurant itself is clean and well kept. We got o sample the eggplant dip as we waited for our order. It was really good. Would recommend this place :)

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.

I highly recommend that you tried this Westwood restaurant ASAP

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.
