Taste of Tehran Restaurant

"The owners & staff of this place were SO NICE, I was even given a free dessert (bamieh) to try & take home just as I was about to leave! Foodwise, everything started out strong. The Chicken & Beef Koobideh kebabs with the zereshk polo are a few of the things you MUST ORDER. One thing I regret the most before coming here is not making more space to order more other options I could have picked, including the ash reshteh & ghormeh sabzi. My advice? Order the Chicken & Beef Koobideh kebabs with zereshk polo, and make yourself some stomach space so you can order more!"

"Loved the beef koobideh kabob plate, grilled to juicy perfection. The accompanying salad, yogurt dressing, and rice were also good. Also had the trio sampler of: Mast Khiar Veggie. Gluten free. Yogurt mixed with chopped Persian cucumber and mint. Addas Polo Veggie. Gluten free. Rice mixed with lentil, raisin, date and fried onion. Roasted Eggplant Dip Veggie. Gluten free. Roasted and seasoned eggplant with caramelized onion, fried mint and a yogurt sauce topping. The yogurt dip was refreshing, the mixed rice perfect (if only this came with the kabob plates), and the eggplant dip was finely mixed. Service was fast. The ambiance felt very down to earth."

"The UCLA area has so many Persian food options but we were happy with our choice of Taste of Tehran. The chicken and lamb were exceptionally tender, well cooked with just the right spices. Like most Persian restaurants there is a large serving of rice and thin bread as an appetizer. Service was quick and efficient although seating was a little tight for groups larger than 6 and the restaurant itself was small and can fill up quickly. Would definitely go again."

"Best kabeb ever tasted. Very friendly, bright clean and casual."

"This was the BEST Iranian/ Persian food I have ever had! We are so glad we came here. The service was amazing. Eman was the kindest, most attentive server and he made sure we had everything we needed and more. The food is the star here. The Tehran platter eat a mixed grill with rice and salad. Huge potions, JUICY meat and the freshest most delicious yogurt dips! The have different versions and they are all delicious! We finished our meal off with some hot tea. MUST TRY!"
