This is one of the best Persian restaurants I’ve been to. The food is incredibly authentic, prices are reasonable and the service was fantastic! They gave us lots of bread with our bademjan and the bread was sooo good! When I come back to this area, I would for sure prioritize eating here. The beef is good but the chicken is INCREDIBLE – it was sooo tender and juicy. This place is a MUST.

You’d never guess that tucked above a grocery store is one of the most vibrant, delicious, and downright charming Persian restaurants around. Walking in, the vibe immediately hits you—modern yet warm, buzzing but not overwhelming. It’s the kind of spot you want to linger in.
Let’s talk food: the jujeh kabob was juicy and perfectly marinated, with that gorgeous charred edge and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. The koobideh? Insanely flavorful, seasoned just right, and paired with saffron-sprinkled basmati rice that was fluffy and fragrant—clearly high-quality stuff. And don’t sleep on the little side of torshi and salad—tangy, crunchy, and the perfect contrast.
But here’s the surprise star: the desserts. We tried both baklava and the Persian-style zoolbia (those golden syrupy spirals), and they were next-level good. Not overly sweet, just rich, nutty, and beautifully plated.
The prices? Surprisingly reasonable for the portion size and quality of ingredients. This place is a hidden gem in every sense of the word—fresh fruit, top-tier meats, legit saffron rice, and a team that takes real pride in their food and hospitality.
If you’re craving Persian comfort with a cool twist, this spot is a must. Bring a friend. Or two. You’ll be back.

We have been frequenting this restaurant for years as one of the best Persian restaurants in OC. The ambiance is nice and service is excellent. It is located in the second floor next to a middle eastern grocery store so you can do shopping or walk around after the meal.
We ordered two eggplant dips to begin with. One with more yogurt and the other with more chill and a bit smoky. Both are excellent choices for the naans (two plates of hot naans were served per table). Each of us ordered different kabobs. I previously tried their lamb shank (excellent BTW), so I went for Chicken Soltani. There are two skewers of kabab, one with ground marinated chicken that is packed with herb flavors and melts in your mouth (like beef koobideh). The other kabab is chicken chunks which has more texture but still very trendy and juicy. We substitute rice with salad and grilled tomatoes, which is a much healthy choice and will not put you to sleep after me, as the portion is HUGE.
We followed the entree with Persian saffron ice cream with a bit pistachio and sugary faloodeh noodle.
Overall excellent dining experience and we will for sure tk come back many more times.

Visited Bahar Restaurant for lunch and really enjoyed the food. We started with crispy tahdig served with a variety of stews — a unique and tasty appetizer. For the main dishes, we had the Soltani (barg and koobideh kebab) and Fesenjan. Both were flavorful, well-cooked, and came in generous portions.
The restaurant was clean with a relaxed vibe, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Service was a bit slow during the busy hours, but overall, it was a great experience. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for authentic Persian food in the area.

Delicious authentic Persian food accompanied with an excellent service. The food portions are huge and prices are decent, so you get a lot of food for your buck!
We asked to sit by the window and enjoyed the view of the hills. There is a Persian market attached to the restaurant that you can go check out after/before your meal!

We ordered the lamb kebab, and the stew with okra. They were tasty. It wasn’t the best Persian I’ve had, but it satisfies the craving. Shirazi salad and Olivier salad for starters were good. I would def give it another shot. I would say the ambience was a bit too dark. I didn’t love the hard rice but my wife did.
The okra dish felt like it could have been a bit thicker. The lamb was solid.

LA is known for its Iranian restaurants that some parts are called Little Tehran. Hence it is no wonder to find Iranian cuisine. Bahar is one of them. Little if any of ambiance but I don’t expected the food to be better. Portions are huge.

I have been visiting Bahar Restaurant for years, and I highly recommend it. I usually stop by Crown Valley Market downstairs for grocery shopping, then treat myself to delicious food upstairs. The cuisine is consistently fresh, and the service is quick, with staff who are very attentive. The prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are generous. I particularly recommend their tahchin, kabob, and tadigh. They also offer a banquet room for events and cater throughout Southern California. Highly recommend.
