"Bountiful trays of masterfully charred kebabs glide on the shoulders of black-tie servers through an exposed brick dining room and land on modern wooden tables at Downtown LA’s Shekarchi. A vibrant arrangement of maust o khiar, torshi, and dolmeh squeeze between abundant portions of delicately seared rack of lamb and herbaceous and tangy khoresht karafs (celery and artichoke stew). The restaurant’s industrial space, a marriage of modernity and traditional Iranian hospitality, is designed to accommodate all sizes of parties for a meal meant to share." - Melody Barooni
