Ali Baba Persian Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

If you’re in the Granda Hills area, stop in for some Persian food at @alibabapersianrestaurant

They have been around for 17 years. Their kabobs are really popular for the lunch crowd. They have also catered for many large events and their restaurant can accommodate large groups as well.

It wasn’t too busy when we went in for dinner. The host and servers were very friendly. The restaurant is beautifully decorated.

Hummus Creamy puree of chickpeas and tahini seasoned with lemon juice and garlic. Very good flavor. I love a good homemade hummus. I also like their thin, crispy homemade pita bread.

Ali Baba Special Kabob Pieces of filet mignon, seasoned ground sirloin kabob and broiled boneless chicken chunks. Served with basmati rice, grilled bell peppers, onions and tomatoes. This feeds 2 people. This allows you to try 3 different kabobs.

Delicious Persian food. Wonderful presentation.

I’d like to try their Rack of Lamb next time. Overall, we enjoyed our time here.✨

✨ DELICIOUS PERSIAN FOOD IN GRANADA HILLS ✨

Hummus : so good Sabzi Khordan (Fresh array of herbs (mint, basil, tarragon, radish and green onion) served with feta cheese and walnut) If you’re getting salad, you may want to get another appetizer. Beef Soltani Kabob (Combination of skewered tenderloin beef and a skewer of ground beef. Cooked over an open fire and served with BBQ tomato and basmati rice or salad) Adas Polo Lamb Shank (Rice mixed with lentils, sautéed dates, raisins, fried onion and saffron. Lamb Shank so tender.) Loved this dish!

Service was so very friendly. We will...

This is my second review of Ali Baba. We've been coming here for dinner for the past 3 years and every time we have left extremely satisfied with the food, the service and the overall ambiance of the restaurant. This time around, I inquired about catering services as I wanted to share this delicious food with family and friends at our Baby Shower. I spoke with Ali, the owner, he gave me recommendations as to what I should serve for a party of 100 people while keeping me within budget. Ali personally delivered the chafers I would be needing the evening prior to our event, walked me through the warm up process prior to ensure the food would be at the perfect temperature before serving. The day of our event, food was served on time before guests arrived. Boy oh boy, FOOD was a hit! Everyone was raving about the the quality and taste of both the Meat and the Chicken. The Mast-o-khiar (cucumber yogurt) and the humus were on point. We had more than enough rice. At the end of the party, people were asking if we had any left overs to take home with them. Both my wife and I cannot be thankful enough for Ali and his team for taking such good care of us and for serving up such exquisite food. Will definitely be using them for our future parties and date nights with the wife, a must...

Horrible Service & ZERO class

I had a been a customers for a couple of years. They delivered chicken instead of lamb by mistake one day. I called immediately and the owner (male) told me to keep the meal and I'll get full credit next time since it was too late for another delivery. A couple weeks later I ordered again and called to have my credit applied. A middle age female told me she'll have to call the owner and get back to me. She called back and said she will only give me half credit because I kept the meal. I told her I don't eat chicken. I threw the meal away and I was willing to give it back but they didn't come get it. Not my fault they delivered the wrong meal. She agreed but did not refund the tax. I asked what about the tax. She relunctantly refunded the tax but seemed unhappy. However, their son (who drives late model MBenz) never spoke a word to me again when he delivered. Simply handed the food and left. No hello, no thank you, no good bye or anything. Just no class. All this over $12.50 plus tax.

I never ordered from that place again. The food wasn't even that great. The lamb chops are dried half of the time like they have been left in the freezer for too long. This was back in the days before other better and classier restaurants were available for...
