Aram Restaurant Reviews

Solid, not as good as Shamshiri and Javan imo.

The food is solid, not fantastic, but the prices are fair, the service is just fine and they are rarely crowded. Overall, a nice place to keep on your list.

I like their Beef Koobideh and Lambchop a lot !Our work caters from them, it is amazing how the lamb chops are still tender and juicy after delivery.

We picked up food from there yesterday and loved it. We had the dolemeh, soltani and ghormeh sabzi. We loved everything but I think my favorite part was the rice that came with the dishes- it was extremely flavorful and perfectly cooked- I especially loved they included the sticky part of the rice at the bottom of the pot. They were also very generous with bread and all I thought was very reasonably priced in light of the high quality of the food. Will definitely order from them again.

I love their Kabobs. Unfortunately I did not get a belly-dancer at our table during lunch or else it would have been 5 stars :-)All kinds of interesting menu choices... my friend had a traditional drink made with yogurt. We also got some sort of red gravy sauce to mix with our rice which I thought was excellent.Overall, Aram is a good value and I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Impressive, complex, perfectly balanced dishes. Lamb chops were amazing and roasted eggplant app was unfathomably luscious. A treasure of really great food in the middle of Beverly Hills expensive crap.

Really good food. My favorite is the chicken koobideh. Not cheap if you're not ordering a lunch special, but lunch special price is average. Nice staff.Edit: Sometimes the meat is a bit salty. Also, if you get it to-go, they don't give you the mint and radishes - you have to ask for them.

I was here a couple nights ago. We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves until a couple with a bratty kid came in. The food was good. I had Tahdig, Shirazi, and Beef Barg (my usual at a Persian restaurant). My friends had the Soltani and some chicken dish that I forgot the name of. The staff here are friendly and when we asked for a lot of lemons, we got them. Normally when I ask for lemonS for my dish, I get a weak ass lemon (singular) wedge. This place hooked it up. They placed 3-4 lemons sliced in half! (and they were juicy as hell) I would go back just for that! The tea is also good. We had no problem parking as it was after 6pm and most of the businesses on Beverly Drive are closed, but I would be hesitant to go during lunch hours.

Aram has quickly become my favorite Persian restaurant. The food is terrific and the wait staff is very nice and accomodating.Unfortunately for them, they never seem very busy....I guess that's good for us though. hahaGet the Soltani!!!My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Arams is a jewel of Beverly Hills. I have tried almost all of their menu there...my favorites are their Beef and chicken Kubideh dishes that include seasoned chicken or beef kabobs,the trademark roasted tomato adds that nice zest to your meal and the seasoned Basmati Rice is always cooked to perfection. Your mouth will water with every bite.The service, price and quality make this place 5 stars!!!I love this place!

I ordered Aram for dinner at my hotel on the advice from a coworker. OMG it was so delicious. I ordered the Aram salad and the Fesenjon, with an Aram Dough to wash it all down. For the salad: Perfect blend of ingredients, tho the lettuce they chose (iceberg? or maybe it was romaine hearts?) didnt really have any nutritional value (why else am i ordering a salad). I would've prefered a mixture of that with a greener type, so you still get the crunch but also get some nutrition.Fesenjon - my first time having this, which is Chicken in a Pomegranate/Walnut sauce over rice. The flavor of the sauce was intense but superb. The chicken was moist and tender. The whole dish was divine.

Had the ground chicken and ground beef skewers -- they were ok, but for $14 bucks you can find better options ---

This place might be one of the finest Persian restaurants in LA.Get the Tadeeg- Half and Half. Its on point!I go for the Soltani- Half ground chicken (Chicken koobideh) and The beef Barg. That's the kliller 1-2 punch.As always, you need to order a coke with Kabob... the way God intended.

Oh, I neglected to mention that it's a little dark and slightly depressing, but one entire wall is mirrored and really helps. I would assume that that's a good thing at night, though. I've been here about a handful of times and I have to say I've been pretty satisfied with the food.…

I've been feeling guilty b/c I think I might have accidentally stiffed the super nice, super patient waitstaff at Aram (there was a lot of bill pay confusion). Anyway, guilt aside, I can't recommend this place highly enough. My kebab was delicious and CK's eggplant stew was totally drool inducing. If you flirt a little, they will give you the crispy rice without you asking for it. And, as a point of comparison, my lunch special kebab was about as much as a falafel sandwich (w/ hummus) at the Israeli place down the street and CHEAPER than a salad from Greenleaf. For all the wage slaves of Beverly Hills (former WM assistants, you know who you are), this is definitely one of the best affordable lunches (that you need silverware to eat) in town.

Definitely worth the visit. I was staying at The Beverly Hilton and it was just a quick 10 minute walk away. It was also a quick walk to Rodeo Drive. Waiter was nice, and the food was good. It was authentic, flavorful, and made me feel good! The salad was amazing and I loved the eggplant salad. We got the appetizer that has them all in one, and that was a fantastic way to taste a little bit of everything. The rice and the pita bread was my favorites because everything else, I have tasted something similar before. The rice was unique and delicious and pita bread NEVER EVER tastes this good! The pita bread was SO tasty, so soft, and tasted like heaven!
