I've had Persian food only once or twice, so didn't know what to expect. I do want to try more dishes that I saw, but we started with a mixed platter for 2 to share between 3 people.It came with a full salad and rice bed, which was plentiful. The dill yogurt sauce was a good accompaniment and we asked for more. - The beef koobideh was the favorite, very tender.- The chicken was surprisingly tender as well and the shish kebab was good too. There isn't any restrooms here, and there is paid parking next door ($2 per 20 mins, which could get pricey, but with validation, you get a $1 off).

Great casual Persian spot. I am from Tehran and this is authentic. Koobideh was juicy, not dry at all. Rice was good. No complaints.

The Tahdig was extremely soggy, and I wasn't given the option to put the stew on the side very disappointing

This is a fairly fast casual Mediterranean restaurant located in Westwood, near UCLA. I went here for Monday dinner and it had a good amount of seating inside and outside. We got the sampler trio and chose the Mast o Khiar, Ash Reshteh, and Roasted Eggplant Dip as our 3 items, as well as the shish kabob soltani for the entree. The sampler trio is served with very thin pita bread so you don't need to worry too much about running out of bread while eating the spreads. The Mast o Khiar is a yogurt dip mixed with cucumber and mint, so kind of reminds me of a tzatziki, and it was really refreshing. The Ash Reshteh is a herb and noodle bean soup which was good but the noodles were way too mushy. The roasted eggplant dip is excellent especially with the crispy onions - it says something when I'm generally not a fan of eggplants in general.The shish kabob soltani has shish kabob and beef koobideh served in a bed of rice and served with salad. The shish kabob has a bit of char that needs to be taken out, but it was otherwise somewhat juicy and tender. The beef koobideh is very good though - one of the better ones I have tried. Overall, food here is pretty good but also it is not necessarily a student friendly price as both of these shared between 2 people ended up to be a bit over $30 per person for a meal that wasn't necessarily filling. The other slight downside to this place is that there are absolutely no restrooms at all, and the nearest restroom requires you to go to the bakery next door but you also have to buy something to get in.

Delicious spot for Persian. The food came out quick and was delicious. The spot itself is pretty small. Only maybe 4-5 table inside. We ate and left real quick. I ordered the Tehran Plate which serves 2 people for $50. It was a big enough size. The filet was probably my favorite thing on the plate. We also tried the Roasted Eggplant Dip, also great. Definitely worth trying out if you're in the area.

Taste of Tehran has delicious Beef Koobideh. The portions are large, so I'll have an extra skewer for later. I have no complaints about that though, I probably would've ordered one to go anyways! Not only was the food yummy, but the service was excellent. It was a hospitable experience. As far as ambiance goes, it's a small restaurant with a big personality and delectable flavor.
