About Raffi's Place

Open since 1993, Raffi's is the gold standard for Persian food in LA — a sprawling indoor/outdoor patio where charbroiled kebabs arrive on mountains of saffron butter rice with crispy tahdig. Portions are enormous, the festive atmosphere makes every table feel like a party, and the Yelp waitlist moves faster than you'd expect.
