Reviews for Darya Restaurant Santa Monica in West Los Angeles, CA

This is must go resturant if you are in Los Angeles best persian food I have eaten in USA!

My favorite Persian restaurant in the LA Area! I've been here a few times and their service is always top notch. Everything is... delicious. The latino waiter (Hooman) who speaks Farsi is the sweetest guy. 10/10. Read more

Good food, acceptable service and accessible location. Darya salad is exceptional, fresh and a mix of awesome ingredients.... Chelokabab is ok and the Albaloo polo is very good. Inside is a bit washed out and could use a bit of update. Read more

One of the best persian restaurants in LA County. You will enjoy the quality of meat. Although the restaurant interior is a bit... outdated, it can definitely bring you some nostalgia. Overall our top choice for persian kebab. There is plenty of free parkingat the back Read more

I had my first real Persian restaurant food. I was quite impressed with how the Baghali Polo lamb shank came out. The meat was... so tender and juicy. I loved the basmati rice topped with saffron, lima beans, and sumac; it tasted so good with the flatbread.I had a piece of the chicken too; it was good, but the lamb was much better. The Shirazi Persian salad was good too. I had myorder for delivery. The portion sizes were pretty decent where I got 3 meals out of it. I cannot wait to try different items onthe menu next time.

He gives the best recommendations and the best care!! Ask for him!! He will make sure youhave a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Read more

The juicy chicken kebab is probably amongst one of the best I?ve had. The Tahdig was great too. The food overall was great. The... decor, owner?s lack of friendliness and cash only is the only reason I dropped a star. Highly recommend. Read more

As an Iranian, I can attest that you can get the same delicious food that you?d get in Iran at this place. Unfortunately most... Iranian restaurants in LA are pretty mediocre at best and definitely Darya stands out. The meat is fresh and tender, the rice isjust perfect and I?d highly recommend their Tahdig appetizer as well. The staff is friendly and professional, and shoutout toour Latino waiter who put the effort to learn Farsi to communicate with us. Read more
