Azizam

"Known for its Persian cuisine, favored by Jean Trinh." - Eater Staff

"A Persian/Iranian restaurant offering authentic Persian dishes including kebabs and mezze." - Matthew Kang

"Suggesting a counter service spot for date night is usually a no-no, but if the destination is Azizam, you’re in for a good night. At this cozy Persian cafe in Silver Lake, all the ordering happens up front when you walk in (the mazeh platter and kofteh meatball are great for sharing), which allows for the rest of the evening to be spent chatting and sipping orange wine without being interrupted by a server. Maybe you’ll have nothing in common and you can dip out quickly, maybe you’ll realize you’re both obsessed with Love Island UK. Sounds like there could be more wine in your future.  " - brant cox, sylvio martins

"Though Southern California has the country’s largest Persian population in the country, finding options outside of the San Fernando Valley, Westwood, or Glendale can be tricky. In Silver Lake, former pop-up Azizam prepares delicious dishes in a cozy space including the popular kuku sabzi sandwich and the turmeric braised Jidori chicken over fava bean rice." - Eater Staff

"Bon Appetit tapped one of Los Angeles’s newest Persian restaurants, Azizam, for its yearly Best New Restaurant list. The former pop-up moved into permanent digs in Silver Lake in March 2024." - Rebecca Roland
