Toranj

The Best Persian Restaurants in Los Angeles, According to Eater’s Local Dining Expert | Eater LA

"Named after an ancient design pattern inspired by the sun, Toranj specializes in traditional Persian cuisine. Start with an order of the eggplant, a creamy blend of eggplant, garlic, mint, and yogurt, topped with tangy whey, before digging into the restaurant’s signature “juicy” chicken. Every order includes four boneless pieces of chicken breast marinated overnight and blazed over an open fire. Dine on Saturdays and Sundays for a taste of tachin, a crispy and savory rice cake composed of saffron, yogurt, and eggs, and brightened with sauteed barberries." - Melody Barooni
