"A bright, nostalgia-forward Silver Lake cafe that grew from pop-ups and leans into comforting, unpretentious Iranian fare: the space features pastel branding and Farsi children’s books, house-pickled torshi, eye-catching kofteh tabrizi stuffed with dried stone fruit and walnuts, and intentionally minimal sandwiches such as zaban (tongue) and kuku (herb frittata) served on barbari flatbread—a place that draws both diaspora diners seeking familiar flavors and curious non-Iranians." - Sara Akhavan
