On the Grid : Taste of Tehran
"This place is very small and very casual, but it offers some of the very best of the kind of food this neighborhood is known for: Persian Food! LA is home to the largest community of Iranians living outside of Iran, and the northernmost corner of our neighborhood is often affectionately referred to as Tehrangeles, deriving from the combination of “Tehran,” the capital of Iran, and “Los Angeles.” There’s tons of great Persian food in this area, but we love Taste of Tehran in particular because the staff is very friendly, the portions are very generous, and their food is praised even by the local Persians as being incredibly authentic. It’s the kind of food most Americans are very unfamiliar with, but it’s delicious and definitely worth a visit. Lots of kababs, lots of hummus, and some of the best rice you’ve ever had." - Clever Creative
