"Now operating on the garden floor of Soho Warehouse in the Arts District, this London-born Iranian restaurant from chef Kian Samyani—founded in 2018 and inspired by Tehran’s vibrant kebab (also spelled “kabab”) houses—arrives with widespread acclaim, including a Michelin Bib Gourmand in London. The LA menu centers on mezze, fresh bread, khoresht, and kebabs; start with taftoon, a wood-oven-baked seeded sourdough, then move to mezze like olives pooled with lemon and garlic or creamy hummus. Kebabs are cooked over coals and include minced lamb shoulder, marinated chicken, beef filet, and more." - Rebecca Roland
