"Set on San Vicente Boulevard in Brentwood, Perse comes from brother-sister team Farinaz and Farbod Pirshirazi, who built a menu around memories of regional dishes they grew up eating across Iran. While plenty of Los Angeles restaurants tend to focus on kebabs, Perse aims to explore a broader culinary canon of traditional Persian cooking and flavors."
"In contrast to the casual Toranj in Westwood, Perse offers a more sophisticated dining room with white tablecloth-topped tables and moss-green velvet banquettes. With an interior designed by Kelly Architects, Persian art and photos of Iran adorn the blonde wood walls, complemented by candlesticks and colorful books on the shelves."
"Larger, shareable grilled dishes include koobideh, saffron lamb chops, and branzino alongside gormeh sabzi, saffron-glazed lamb neck, and duck confit. Crisp-edged smoked saffron tahdig and smoked jeweled rice with barberry, citrus peel, pistachio, and almond round out any dinner spread nicely."
Perse is an upscale Persian restaurant opened in February by siblings Farinaz and Farbod Pirshirazi, who previously operated Toranj in Westwood. Located on San Vicente Boulevard in Brentwood, the restaurant features a sophisticated dining room with white tablecloth service, moss-green velvet banquettes, and Persian art. The menu draws from regional dishes the siblings experienced growing up across Iran, offering wagyu kebabs, fesenjoon, saffron-glazed lamb neck, duck confit, and smoked saffron tahdig. Appetizers include caviar tartlets and lamb chops with saffron yogurt. Desserts feature Tehranmisu and cardamom cream puffs, while beverages include Persian Old Fashioned cocktails and sour cherry punch. The restaurant represents a more refined approach compared to their casual Toranj location.
