Iconic Persian eatery known for tongue sandwich & cozy patio
"This classic daytime-only Iranian spot on Westwood Blvd is best known for its beef tongue, and rightfully so—it's a meaty, tangy masterpiece that deserves all of its hype. But it shouldn’t be the only sandwich you order here. We love their kuku sabzi, an herb-based frittata, or the juicy beef koobideh on thin, chewy sangak bread. Also, come any day of the week and experience a front patio that turns into the social heart of the neighborhood each afternoon." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"If you’re headed to this classic daytime shop on Westwood Blvd., chances are their famed beef tongue sandwich is on your agenda. And for good reason: meaty, tender, and deeply savory, it’s a masterpiece that’s one of the best lunches in the neighborhood and one of our favorite sandwiches in the city. That said, it shouldn’t be the only thing you order. The kuku sabzi, an aromatic, herb-based frittata, is fantastic either as a sandwich or as an entree, and the juicy beef koobideh comes with thin, chewy sangak that soaks up the marinade and becomes a little after-meal… meal. And we highly suggest eating on their pleasant patio— it feels like the social heart of the neighborhood every afternoon." - brant cox, arden shore, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
"Abgoosht is a rustic stew that translates in Persian to “meat broth.” Staying true to its name, the rich dish is a combination of tender meat, potatoes, vegetables, spices, and legumes that makes for a deeply satisfying meal. It’s a signature dish at Attari Sandwich Shop, but call to confirm it’s on the menu for the day before heading over." - Rebecca Roland
"Get ready for a line out the door as diners wait to feast on Attari’s iconic Persian sandwiches. The sosees bandari is piled high with sliced Hebrew National hot dogs, potatoes, and caramelized onions in a tomato sauce, while the Attari features koobideh on warm sangak bread topped with basil, tomatoes, and pickles. The tongue sandwich, with its rich, almost buttery main ingredient, is a must-order; it’s finished with sauteed onions, mustard, mayonnaise, crisp lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles." - Melody Barooni
"This classic daytime-only sandwich shop on Westwood Blvd. has over 15 different sandwiches on the menu, but if it’s your first time here or you’re simply looking to eat something that’ll support you through the second half of the day, go for the beef tongue. The meat itself has been cooked with onions and saffron, giving it a tangy, aromatic quality that’ll stay on your lips until dinner. It also comes topped with mustard, mayonnaise, tomato, and pickles, all wrapped inside a fresh baguette that provides the perfect amount of crunch." - brant cox, arden shore
