"Shirin in Woodland Hills, one of the longest-standing Persian restaurants in the Valley, modernizes classic dishes with Mediterranean touches served in a contemporary dining room. Start with an order of housemade flatbread served with borani (fried eggplant dip) or olvieh (creamy chicken and potato salad with pickles) before moving on to lamb chops served with a broiled tomato and saffron basmati rice. Complete the meal with faloodeh, a cold and refreshing dessert of frozen vermicelli noodles and rose water topped with a drizzle of cherry syrup and lemon." - Melody Barooni
