Jino's Pars - Persian restaurant Los Angeles

Amazing food and friendly service. So glad I opted for the cherry rice. Only ordering rice way that from now on. Perfectly cooked lamb chops. Very decent prices for high quality food in LA.

Authentic, flavorful Persian cuisine. Service is excellent and I always leave fully satisfied. I also order take out from this place regularly and it arrives fresh every time. Definitely recommend supporting this business!

If you’re craving the rich, aromatic flavors of Iranian cuisine, Jino’s Pars is a culinary journey you won’t want to miss this restaurant delivers an authentic Persian dining experience, from the décor to the deeply satisfying food.

No-frills tasty persian on the west side. The flatbread served with the meal was the least tasty thing, but the creamy savory hummus more than makes up for it! The lamb chop kebob was delicious, as was the rice and grilled vegetables. The chopped cucumber and tomatoe salad that comes with the entree is also very good. Everything tastes better grilled over 🔥! Would definitely come back.

OK, so in my eyes being from New York area and having enjoyed the service in the restaurants in the city and around Long Island, this place had the old style of good service and attentiveness that you no longer see. Take a look at the table and the white linens and the food was prepared to perfection with the flavors of the grill. We had the lamb kebabs and the lamb shank. Reasonably priced and generous portions so I have to give this a five star rating.

We came to visit friends in Los Angeles and they suggested we come here. While here we noticed a family celebrating a birthday party. The restaurant itself is the perfect dimly lit atmosphere to host your date night, birthday party, or friend reunions. We all three found the combo chicken and beef Koobideh to be most appealing and were satisfied especially with the portion size. The wait staff were very friendly but definitely busy and didn’t come to our table as often as I’d like for refills but I understand sometimes business is overstretched. Also I was very interested in trying the Shirazi Salad but unfortunately they were out and was only offered Lentil Soup. The dessert that was recommended by staff was a nice treat. Interesting take on Baklava. I would like to come again and try something else next time I’m in LA.

Awesome kabobs and wonderful service ! Must go if u want good Persian kabob !

The food was ok. The tadig wasn’t a bread tadig or anything very crispy, it was just a simple rice bottom. The barg kebab had a strange marinade. The stew was nice though. Overall, I wasn’t a big fan.

I enjoy having Jino's Pars, a local Persian restaurant to Westchester LAX area. I really appreciate they have my food ready 15 minutes after I place my phone order. The menu brings a touch of home to my visit. Thank you, Jino's Pars.

The good part about this place is the quality about the meats. Meats are delicious and on point. The portions are generous. 2000 family style restaurant The service is great The only thing I didn't enjoy was their hummus, I feel their garbanzo beans were from the can. The lime/lemon they use or is very old or is from the bottle (fake lime) please don't use fake or bad lemon in your salads. Other than that, you get what you pay for.

SUPER delicious food (we got the chicken barg, kashke bademjan, and beef koobideh), nice service, and plenty seating area. The restaurant is very nice inside and they play relaxing music in the background. Definitely worth every penny!

Service and attention to us are what first brought us here when I first called by phone to check if there was any availability. Once we arrived, the manager recognized my voice and walked over to us to recommend their popular dishes. The food was delicious and hearty. And the ambience was chill and inviting us! Definitely worth giving a visit!

This place deserves 10 stars!!!! Que Rico! It's seriously a hidden little gem. I don't really want to put them on blast, but I must give credit where it's due. They've been here for over twenty years! It's a beautiful restaurant for you and friends or a nice little date (cough, cough). I took my girlfriend here for her birthday dinner. She found it on Yelp, and so we tried it. It's A place we will most certainly be coming back to. We went on a weeknight, so it wasn't busy at all. The manager on duty and the waiter were both very tentative. The manager returned, checked on us, and asked how we were doing and if we were happy with the food and service. He returned with hummus and Greek cucumber yogurt on the house, just because. If you're in the LAX area, you should definitely try this place. It offers Amazing Service!

I door dashed from Jino Pars and really enjoyed it. Well done, priced well and plentiful. I will definitely be back

**the meat dishes are AMAZING!** **huge portions** Beef and Chicken Koobideh (5/5): so juicy and flavorful, so so delicious! The lamb koobideh is also great Chicken soltani (5/5): slightly lemony, super tender Tadigh (4.5/5): yummy crispy rice, the best stew is the Fesenjan- it's slightly tangy. Shirazi Salad (3/5): tomato, cucumber, red onion. Needs salt and lemon The staff is so friendly and warm, I really enjoyed the experience.

I was really hoping this place would be amazing. I live two blocks away. Everyone was really nice. And, to be fair, I've had their pizza before...and I loved it. But, the chicken and beef koobideh, rice and hummus was just ok. There wasn't a lot of flavor. I was hoping for more.

On my way to the airport, I was looking for a nearby Persian restaurant and came across this restaurant.Food was not bad. I love Persian food, but I feel that I have had better Persian food. I got the Kushk betinjan which was good. The dishes come with either soup or salad. The soup was OK and needed some more flavor and the salad was filled with onions. I had the Chicken Barg Kabob and kofta kabob. Both were really good. I also got it to go played for my husband and they just put salad without asking if we wanted soup or salad. I would return again and try more dishes.

this place is amazing - for real. The shrimp kebab - best ever. Don't let its location fool you.

Great food and service . Been here for a while now. Great options if you're on a low carb diet as well. I would give this place multiple tries.

Good food to order to go after hard day's work.always prepare for perfection Staff care also mice

The Rack of Lamb and Chicken Bargs are the most delicious dishes I've ever tasted. The barberry rice is quite impressive. The meats are lean and healthier. The service is honest, excellent, and efficient. The interior exudes class. Would come again.

I found out about this restaurant because it became my favorite holiday gift card that I would receive from someone at my work. I would pick up amazing food to go and take it home to my kids. The three of us could eat off of two meals. So when my family asked for a restaurant near LMU, I immediately chose this one. There are kebabs of every meat that you would want. For me, the (now) vegan in the family, I went with a grilled vegetable kebab, and the sauce is ground walnuts simmering in pomegranate, I think. I don't know what else is in it to be honest, but it is delicious with the rice and the vegetables. Even the veggie kabob was enough for two meals for myself. Plus, we did order hummus before the meal, which was fantastic and filling!

Anytime I'm in the area, or land into LAX, I must stop here! The food never disappoints, service is on point and great for casual or family dining. Big Soltani and tahdig is my go to!

The ground beef Kabab and Soltani Kabab were excellent. So the Maste moosir (you hurt with shallots).

Actually a pleasant surprise and delicious food and friendly servers. Very unusual location for Persian food but it is my spot to go on the way to lax or coming home from a trip.

Authentic, flavorful Persian cuisine. Service is excellent and I always leave fully satisfied. I also order take out from this place regularly and it arrives fresh every time. Definitely recommend supporting this business.

The best Lamb and Chicken! moist, seasoned to perfection! The intimate setting adds to the ambiance. So glad its local!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby next month, so we know it'll be a while before we can enjoy our usual brunches and date nights. Throughout my pregnancy, I've become quite the picky eater, but for the first time in a long time, I was able to finish a full meal--thanks to Jino Pars. Honestly, this has to be one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had in a while. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was delicious, the service was prompt, and the staff was incredibly friendly, checking in on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the music set the perfect tone for a relaxing meal. It's a place I'll definitely be returning to once our little one arrives!

First time trying Jino's Pars. It was recommended by an Uber driver who is Persian. I am very glad I ate here. I visited early evening around 430pm and only 2 tables were filled. So glad I came early as more people arrived at 5-530pm. Note that the private parking lot in front fills fast since it shares with 3 other businesses. A spacious interior with some booths, plenty of tables, the atmosphere is quiet and great for conversation and family gatherings. A tv monitor hangs in one corner broadcasting a game on a sport channel but is muted. Service by a young fellow was prompt, and courteous. He checked frequently and answered my questions about the menu items. Water and dishes were brought by another staff member, also courteous. I ordered two favourite dishes to compare with my usual Persian Restaurant in Torrance. The lamb shank comes with generous amount of the stew gravy. The sour cherry rice is fluffy enough with a very mild smattering of saffron liquid. The basmati rice or long grained rice used here had a very mild aroma. To boost the overall rice flavour, the sour cherries were plentiful with its sweet & sour juices, a bright contrast to the fall-of-the-bone lamb meat. The meat was rich, moist and tender. You get one leg here whereas for similar pricing, my other Persian restaurant includes two legs. Note that Jino's Pars does not make my go-to Adas Polo rice dish (lentils & raisins & dates) however the sour cherry rice here was delicious. My other favourite is the kashk-e bademjan appetizer served warm. It was steaming when brought to the table. It was aromatic with spices and onion, moist but not swimming in oil. Topped with a generous amount of kashk. It is a huge portion, easily for 2-3 people, served with five pieces of thin dry pita wedges and butter. Entrees come with a choice of salad or lentil soup. The chopped salad is of fresh cucumber, tomatoes, onions and dry mint. The rose and pistachio ice cream is served as an ice cream sandwich the size of a fist (my small fist that is). I would have preferred two scoops (as from Heidar Baba in Pasadena). I can't comment on the taste as I gave it to my daughter. I would definitely return to try other dishes

Moses our waiter was so nice & gentlemanly. Miguel was also very welcoming and gave the best advice since it was our 1st time. The nice owner comped us a Mint Dough drink that tasted like mint yogurt. I ordered the chicken skewers that were so juicy & delicious. Couldn't leave without trying their Baklava, so happy I did!! The Baklava was divine. Will definitely be back! The decor was very nice, great for a date night.

How sad to hear they've changed hands--I was looking forward to going back there soon. If I had received my to-go box with a fly in it, I would not give them three stars, but I'd call the health department for certain. But since this review doesn't come with an actual visit, I have to be neutral. It's charm was the Italian food and gracious staff. Too bad.

Dinner was yummy. Would def recommend this place if flying in/out of LAX and staying in the immediate area. About a 5 min ride from the hotels. Our server was lovely and kind!

Update: Recent takeout order was delicious and Ray provided exceptional customer service. New photos added here. Ambiance was good but did not dine in, takeout only. Please read my previous review for additional details. Thank you.

Their spicy koobideh kabobs are delicious! We got the chicken and beef combo and loved both. Service is quick and friendly.

Parking is difficult! Seemed like a decent place. Food to me was just okay. I was told this is very authentic and good. I guess I don't like Persian food.

The food is absolutely delicious and outstanding service! I eat a strict gluten free diet because of celiac and I have eaten twice here and I have never gotten sick. Just be careful what to order and ask if you are not familiar with Middle Eastern cuisine. Highly recommend!

This place is HUGELY underrated! We came by Jino's Pars as we were In the neighborhood and it did not disappoint! It's located in a very small mini mall, so it's hard to miss. You have to yet the Lamb Kabob! That's what they're known for, along with their Barg Kabob. Their Basmati Rice is very fresh and their Tahdigs are so yummy! All their kabob dishes are incredibly fresh and very succulent and juicy. I told our server that I only wish they had a branch on the west side since they are WAY better than the majority of our options in Westwood, the Valley and in Beverly Hills. Unfortunately, because of their location, they do not get much traffic, and that is such a shame because their prices are extremely reasonable for what you're getting, and the food is outstanding! If you're craving some really REALLY good Persian food, definitely try Jino's Pars!

I think this was my first time having Persian food - wanted to try something new last week. This place is pretty quiet. It's in a small plaza (with very narrow parking - be careful the butt of your car doesn't stick out too far). We got there around 8ish and there were only a few other people there. We started with tadigh - crispy rice with our choice of stew over it. I think we chose the beef gheymeh. Very good - I really liked the flavor of the stew. The crispy rice wasn't necessarily my thing, but it went well with the stew. For my main course I ordered the lamb koobideh kabob - the lamb was SUPER tender but it almost melted in your mouth to the point it didn't quite have the right texture. Almost like if you ground lamb and formed it into balls? I'm almost used to the slightly more fattiness of lamb. It also came with about 6 pounds of rice which I did not finish. Overall the place was quiet, could have used either a little more ambiance or just more people? Also their door (or site?) said they closed at 9:30 but some people were just coming in around 9:30 for dinner which seemed weird. Our server was very nice and prices were overall pretty reasonable.

Incredible gastronomic experience on all levels and friendly service on all levels definitely looking forward to a return visit

Great food great atmosphere great service. Juicy chicken, koobideh, special rices, appetizers all amazing!!' Tucked away in a small shopping center this place is the bomb for authentic Persian cuisine. Huge portions and includes amazing lentil soup with all entrees. Side note..Love the barber shop next door too! Talented folks working there. You can grab lunch and a haircut all in the same hour lol.

The food was warm, delicious and the smell was intoxicating (in a good way) kabab was tender and rich with flavor. The service was professional and decent.

The lamb koobideh was tender and tasty. The lentil soup is fresh and had greens in it that makes it a healthy soup. They made the food ready in 15 minutes. I'd try the lamb koobideh again here.

Great, fast service Lentil soup Cucumber tomato salad Rice was so fluffy and light Pita bread was soft and a bit crisp on the edges Beef was super tender and flavorful and soft, easy to chew not stringy Chicken was SOOO tender too Left full and satiated and happy :) Vibe is on the nicer side but not too stuffy/fancy

This place has been around for years with great Persian food. I always get the chicken kabob and beef koobedeh. They are always fantastic. The service is mediocre. The servers never smile and I sometimes feel bad when I have to ask them for stuff, refills, utensils, etc. 5 star for the food. ( at least the Persian menu, never tried the Italian stuff). 2.5 star for the service. I'll be back ....

Food: is tasty and fresh with generous portions. All of their meats are delicious and the cherry rice is a must! Service: is always friendly, but not always prompt. Ambiance: do not be fooled by the exterior strip mall vibe. The inside is actually quite nice and there's even a small patio for outside dining. Value: is slightly on the pricey side, but if Persian cuisine is what you want, this is the place to go.

We went here around 2pm for lunch on a Friday and the whole resturant was empty. The service was fast and good; however, we did not like the food. Kashke bademjoon was dry and not tasty. The Kabobs had a wierd spice that we could not spot. Although the meat was tender They were also cold, and did not really taste like persian kabob. Overall, it was ok but we would not come back.

Had to overnight for an early flight next morning and this was right next to hotel. Gave it a shot and was not disappointed. Great service and food. Had the lamb chops. Highly recommend.

Excellent quality, great taste and larger than expected plates. We stopped by for dinner before a concert at YouTube theater in Inglewood. We drove back home to Las Vegas so we wanted nothing that would upset our stomach. I was a great choice and will return. We ordered beef sultani and a 3 piece side dish yogurt l, tabouli and hummus (they were out of babanagoush) I do recommend

Tantalizing flavors at this cozy Persian spot! The kabobs are juicy and perfectly seasoned, while the saffron rice melts in your mouth. Authentic, warm ambiance. Highly recommend!

A fantastic restaurant with amazing food and great staff. Will definitely be going back soon!

This restaurant was highly recommended if I like authentic Persian food. I'm not Persian nor a connoisseur of Persian cuisine. Until writing this review, I discovered one of my favorite places--Zankou Chicken on Sepulveda & Santa Monica Blvd.--is Lebanese. Also, I am a longtime fan of Carnival which is just learned is also Lebanese food. So I blame my ignorance of thinking Persian and Lebanese cuisine are one the same. Service was prompt, and the dining room features somewhat formal furniture, furnishings, and overall decor.

Jini Pars offers some of the best Persian cuisine you'll find anywhere. From flavorful kebabs to aromatic stews, every dish is a testament to the rich culinary tradition of Iran. The restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients and authentic flavors shines through in every bite. Whether you're craving the tender lamb kebabs or the fragrant saffron rice, Jini Pars delivers an unforgettable dining experience. With warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere, it's the perfect place to enjoy a taste of Persian culture. If you're in search of exceptional Persian food, look no further than Jini Pars.

Great food. Loved their 3-stew tadigh and lamb shank. Cute place at night. Fast and friendly service. We'll be back!

Located near the airport (LAX) Jino's is on Manchester. Easy to miss so keep an eye out. It is a wonderful Persian/Italian eatery. Personally, I had never heard of such a combination, but all their food is great. Right now they are open and you can dine outdoors and they use all safety protocols. The service is the best, so fast and friendly. There is usually not a wait. Their prices are reasonable and you will love it all. You can have catering if you want for a party or get large packages to go. Of course you can order your food to go or pick up, but if you can, eat there. You will feel so relaxed. They have the best rice and lamb plates you will have outside of Iran. Their shrimp and chicken is so tender and cooked perfectly. The spices are spot on. Don't ever eat at LAX, it is awful, stop here and you won't be trapped by terrible food. If you are leaving LAX, run here, make no stop at those eateries at LAX. Here you will be happy. Have the best time.

We happened to stumble on this restaurant by chance close to LAX Holiday Inn Express where we were staying. What an incredible find! Ambiance was warm, welcoming and unexpectedly professional for the area where fast food outlets proliferate. Tables were set with proper white linens. Servers were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Menu was traditional Persian dishes like saffron and barberry rice, kebabs, stews and appetizers. Everything was freshly prepared, appropriately spiced and served in ample portions. We enjoyed our dinner tremendously and would return! This is definitely high quality food and a destination restaurant.

I found this little gem on Yelp while looking for a quick bite to eat in LA near the airport. We did not leave disappointed! The beef kabob literally melted in my mouth, and the portion was huge! The waiter and another guy, whom I think may be the owner were very attentive, and I really enjoyed my dinner for one here. *Not pictured is the lentil soup that came with the meal, and the mini pita bread*

A hidden treasure (LITERALLY) you can't really see it from the street. Chicken breast Kabob was amazing. The lentil soup could've been better but everything else was tasty. The wait staff was nice and friendly.
