"Azizam has taken over the former Flore Vegan space in Silver Lake after years of serving its homestyle Persian food out of pop-ups across Los Angeles. Start by building a mazeh (also commonly spelled as mezze) plate of cold dishes like olives, shirazi (tomato salad), torshi (pickles), and wild shallot yogurt; the mezze plate comes with a choice of two dishes, plus feta, herbs, walnuts, and bread. Larger dishes include kofteh tabrizi (braised beef and rice meatball) and turmeric braised chicken. The kuku sandwich with a vegetable frittata on barbari bread is a worthy addition to any meal, and make sure to leave room for a dessert like sholezard (saffron rice pudding) or a Persian cream puff with rosewater cream." - Rebecca Roland
