CALL FIRST! This restaurant is probably a victim of their own success. They get really busy so you might have to wait more than 1+ Hour if you don't call.
All their dishes are great. Their Chicken Soltani is juicy and flavorful combined nicely grilled vegetables and fluffy rice. Yum -

They try really hard for a very small kitchen but using decent recipes.
Take the advice of others, if you're not into having a relaxing wait for your meal (the garden actually is quite nice on days that it's not too hot outside) do just call ahead and let them know at least 20 minutes before arrival.
We get a combination luleh plate, which is sort of off-menu and called a "protein plate", which is one beef luleh and one chicken luleh. Tried the substitute Albalou Polo (sour cherry rice) but it comes out actually much sweeter than it probably should (would make a good pairing with roast duck or roast pork, for example.) And usually I would order a Zereshk Polo (barberry rice) instead, but that's not available here.
Mixed green salad provided with the plates is nice and refreshing, and as with many Persian establishments, they are generous with portions (you could probably split a plate with two as a light meal easily.)
I can see where if there are more than about 5 tables filled in the restaurant, the staffing becomes immediately inadequate, but such is the nature of a small bistro sized restaurant. For the area, it's a nice change of pace from the regular fare, and equally because the rents are going up in the bordering Arts District, the prices have had to go up - probably more than people in South Bay would be used to for the same fare.
I think if ordering what you like, and noting the small variances in what you can expect recipe-wise, this is a fine establishment bringing otherwise exotic foods into the mix of the growing DTLA/Arts District offerings. -

Chicken kabob! Delicious. Place is nice and clean. Customer services is great! Chicken is well marinated and cooked. Food is fresh. Food is cooked as ORDER. Good food is cook well and it does takes it's time.
