"Santa Monica’s Tehran Market is our go-to for Persian spices, snacks, and sweets - and one of our favorite all-around markets in the city. But their formerly once-weekly kebab grill is now operating all weekend, from 11am-3pm(ish) in their back parking lot, slinging koobideh, marinated salmon, vegetables, and lamb livers. They’ve also got a bunch of stews, hummuses, and flatbreads to-go, which are highly worth your time. Order in-person, call (310) 393-6719 for more info." - brett keating
