Safir Mediterranean — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Yesterday was my first and definitely the last time at Safir restaurant. We had a reservation for a group of fifteen, but the whole experience was a disaster. As we arrived, the manager had the audacity to blame us for not answering the phone when they had actually written down the wrong number. Talk about frustrating!

There's this waiter, Mehrdad, who seemed to have a permanent frown on his face. He flat-out refused to take our orders multiple times until we had to beg the manager, Mr. Barani, to intervene. It was like pulling teeth to get him to finally jot down our orders.

An agonizing hour later, our food finally appeared, but it was a circus. Half of our group got served first, and the rest had to twiddle their thumbs for an additional 20 minutes. And the cherry on top? They messed up orders left and right, bringing us food we didn't even ask for.

Fed up, I confronted the manager about the chaos. What I got in return was mind-boggling. He had the nerve to put the blame on us, saying our order sequence was the problem, and he actually had the audacity to claim they did everything perfectly.

To make matters worse, the restaurant was so noisy that we could barely hear ourselves think, let alone have a decent conversation with our guests. Suffice it to say, everyone was beyond annoyed with the terrible service and atmosphere.

This entire experience was an absolute nightmare, and I won't stand by while others waste their time and money at Safir restaurant. They need a reality check and some serious improvement before anyone should even consider giving...

I give low rating one the food quality is horrible if you want quality Persian food the best one in CA is Daryas restaurant in Santa Monica. Their beef and chicken combination are the best and high quality with high need service than Safir restaurant. Don’t waste your time to come to this place!!!! The boss is so unprofessional and doesn’t value his customer nor respect them. It’s a shame!! I was here for a Persian events and many said it’s too loud and I asked politely if he can adjust the volume as our ears were being effective negative he rudely replied it is not his problem!! He won’t adjust it. And he refused to give the wifi and his quality of food was so low. Very disappointing experience!!! My ears are so closed so as my friends and families!!! If you love your ears avoid at all cost!! The only thing I give two star to was his waiter who were working so hard and were wonderful. The boss on the other hand it’s so disappointing and a just a shame. If the waiters didn’t not work here. I would give this place -5. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME NOR MONEY. 🙏🙏 you can view the...

Safir, meaning “ambassador,” is truly a representative of Iranian culture in Los Angeles. Safir Restaurant, under the guidance of Mr. Barani and his exceptional team, offers a welcoming and cozy environment for enjoying great food, social gatherings, and celebrations. Over the past six years, I have visited Safir for various occasions and have consistently experienced outstanding service.

The restaurant stands out among the many Persian restaurants and clubs in the area, thanks to its unparalleled hospitality and attention to detail. Mr. Barani’s hands-on supervision ensures that every guest is served with care and excellence.

I deeply appreciate the warm and respectful atmosphere, perfect for ceremonies, parties, or simply a memorable meal. Their menu is filled with delicious options, with the famous joojeh kabob being a personal favorite.

Thank you to the Safir team for providing such exceptional food and service. We look forward to...
