Taking a close up look of this salmon grilled perfectly. It literally melted in my mouth.

We always order just for delivery because we work in DTLA, but so far so good.Our go to order is Koubideh - which is chicken and beef kabob combo but we always upgrade to have them with cherry rice! When we have a hankering for fast authentic Persian food, we order from Farid!

Located in St Vincent Ct., this quaint little Persian restaurant certainly provides a lot. From entry you're greeted with a friendly smile and seated promptly. From their extensive menu I ordered the koobideh combo which came with two (chicken and beef ) skewered ground meats, rice and a delicious side salad. If you're downtown and want something good be sure to give these guys a try. You can thank me later.

Great food - good for catering but be sure to tell them you're paying with credit card when getting food delivered. They assume you are going to pay cash and you'll have to walk over and pay in person which is a hassle. I wish they would upgrade their payment system.

A very good hole in a wall kind of place. Located in nice area, this place is a gem worth to visit. Ordered a combo of chicken and beef khobideh (spell?) and it came with rice and salad. Very tasty, flavorful, and filling. Hummus and mast khiar (spell?) - close to taztsiki- are very delicious, its nothing like the store bought taste. Price is reasonable but parking is very hard to find. Come visit this place!

I love this restaurant when I'm working downtown LA. The chicken kabobs are my favorite. A must try. It's near the Alley by the Jewelry Dristru

Salmon & beef kabob plates are highly recommended! Salmon is seasoned well & grilled perfectly, so tender & juicy. Beef is equally addicting. Its mere aroma is already a satisfaction & much more the quality of meat that melts in my mouth. Partnered with grilled green bell pepper & tomatoes that completes the harmony.Tossed salad is served fresh in light yet tasty dressing. Persian rice is not dry with the amount of moist & texture. Impressive!!!

Stumbled upon this cool alley behind Hill Street in the jewelry district of DTLA. Decided to try this Persian spot and was not disappointed with my decision. The Hummus appetizer was loaded with flavor and was heavy on the garlic in a good way. Had the Kobideh combo and really enjoyed the flavorful and juicy Kobideh and the fluffy rice. Our servers were pleasant and helpful. The price was on the high side, but the portions were large, so I didn't mind. When in the area again, I will definitely go back.

Legit Persian food. I really enjoyed their shish kabob. The portion size is plenty. I was able to eat half a portion and save the other to-go. This is a place if you have time to spare. If you're in a rush, order ahead of time.

10/10. Food was delicious. It's all seed oil free! The vibe is spot on. Perfectly quiet and serene. The server was the most helpful and attentive. Found a new fav spot in downtown!
