Our Iranian friend bought us here to try Persian cuisine. Generally, he tends to stick to restaurants in the LA area, but found that Royal Persis delivers authentic eats.
We shared a couple dips to start. Maust' Moosier is yogurt with shallots. It was creamy, cool and savory. Kashk-E-Bademjan is loaded with bold flavors from eggplant with whey, onion and mint. Both are spread on lavash. I had Chelo Kebab Soltani, which is a combo of filet and ground beef. The husband had stew with beef, kidney beans and a bunch of seasonings called Ghormeh Sabzi. Our friend's favorite dish is the Chelo Kebab Barg which is the filet kebab. He said the secret to the side of rice was to add lots of butter. I still enjoyed it without. We finished our dinner in the traditional way by enjoying a cup of hot tea.
I've had kebab before at various Mediteranean and Middle Eastern restaurants and none have been as tender or tasty. I loved the marinade for the Barg. I definitely recommend it.
