Yaas Alborz Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I just happened to be in the vicinity and ran across the most wonderful restaurant. More exciting is believe it or not I had not ever tried Persian Cuisine.

It was the most delightful experience! My guest and I wanted a quick delicious lunch and believe me it was absolutely worth the find!

We spent 68.00 for 2 stews, skewer of kabob with a couple of appetizers split between 2 adults and a child with nothing left. With so many amazing Persian restaurants near by, this is a place to avoid and will...
