"Toranj is located in the heart of Westwood Village, making it an ideal lunch spot if you can’t get too far from UCLA’s campus. They do a brisk takeout service, but if you’re interested in dining in, there’s also a large sidewalk patio that offers great people-watching. As far as the food goes, your priority here should be their signature Juicy Chicken kabob. It’s slightly sweet, somewhat buttery, and so unbelievably tender you’ll forget you’re eating chicken (they also have a spicy version if you prefer some heat). We also like their ghormeh sabzi, which has a pleasant sour edge and goes nicely with the tahdig you should order as an appetizer." - brant cox, arden shore, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
