Arthurs Garden — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Arthur’s Garden – One of LA’s Best Kept Secrets (Okay Fine… I’ll Share)

I usually keep this spot under wraps, but I’m breaking my own rule because Arthur’s Garden is just that good. Tucked away in LA, it’s the kind of place you stumble into once and then keep going back—quietly, so no one else finds out.

I had the Chicken Soltani with a rice swap for their cherry saffron rice—an absolute must. That hint of tartness with the saffron rice was the perfect match for the juicy, flavorful kabob.

The Mast-o-Khiar (yogurt with cucumber) was thick, creamy, and full of cool, herbaceous flavor. I’d just suggest asking for extra raisins if you like a little sweetness in the mix like I do.

Their homemade Persian tea? Spot on. It’s not pre-sweetened, which I love, and it comes with lemon wedges so you can adjust it to your taste. It’s simple, authentic, and honestly hits the spot—especially after a heavy meal.

My sister ordered the chicken kabob and said, “This place is better than Raffi’s.” That’s not a statement we throw around lightly in this household, but she meant it.

And I’ve gotta say, the staff really make the experience what it is. Super warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. They create the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to come back—not just for the food, but because it feels like you’re eating at someone’s home.

So yeah… if you know me and you’re reading this, you caught me. This is one of my hidden gems. Just don’t blow it up too much, alright? Let’s keep Arthur’s Garden our little...

Arturo Junior and Senior are the absolute dream team with their authentic food. Truly the most amazing and tender combination rice plate. I came with my dad and boyfriend, and it was my boyfriend’s first time eating Persian food and he couldn’t even choose which dish was tastiest since everything was top tier. We got their two kebab combo with the beef and skinless chicken which was a nice bright orange and all dark meat! Juicy and flavorful are understatements and we were such a fan of the rice. Extra points for great pita bread and salad with diced persian cucumbers. Our favorite parts of the restaurant are Arturo and his impeccable service and passion...

Horrible service. They take 1hr to get food ready. So I decided to call for pickup. That doesn’t work either! Called in , and they said 20minutes. So I went in at 40. Good not ready still. Second time same thing! Third time I waited an hr , went in and they had lost my ticket and just started to make it when I got there. So moral of the story is unless you have an extra 1-2hrs to waste . Then forget about it! I will...
