Time for some Persian Food! Can confirm. Persian food is amazing!
Quang Tran ikr
Food and life such a beautiful thing!
Quick time! So pumped for your twist your take. Please replicate this recipe
Quang make some persian food lol
You got to order the Mirza Ghasemi for starters and Makhsoos for main
Damn he's a boss at cutting meat, the way he was able to cut a chunk of meat into a long thin piece without cutting a piece off
And keep all his fingers intact... Woow
@@lancheloth fr because cutting meat is hard especially fish when you have have to fillet them cuz one wrong move and you could easily slice or stab yourself and I've seen it happen many times
@@elsicario2539 exactly he make seems so easy.. I can see myself stabbing my hand with the skewer when doing that.
I’m proud to say that my dad works in this exact place. One of the head chefs and has taught me a lot about cooking you can actually see him in the background ( 1:30 the one wearing full black and facing the other way)I’ve visited this place many times for my graduation, my little sisters birthday party, and other events and everyone is very nice and the restaurant overall has an amazing vibe!
wish i would've tried this place!!! the food looks SO GOOD!!!
Moxie Beast ASMR, it is good.
I believe that I've been there before. It was super crowded, and took us about an hour to get seated. They have very big portions of food, and it is as good as it looks.
I can make all this food and more at home.
Them nice knife skills at the beginning tho😏
takes no skill, he's just a poor cook, thats all. nothing that'll change the world.
ChickenYale you’ve obviously never worked in a kitchen 😬
ChickenYale and I’m positive a gourmet kitchen isn’t gonna hire a cook that hasn’t had any culinary schooling😂
@@sp33dyswhitness-10 Are you positive a gourmet kitchen isn't going to use wooden tables as cutting boards for raw meat. I am pretty sure that is against health code.
jwvideos I’m definitely not negative if that’s what your asking me 😆😂
I'm a Palestinian who loves Persian people and Persian food! Yummy ❤❤❤
Yeah your ancestors ruined us with your forceful religious nonsense.
@@uncertifiedlinguist8396 dude real Palestinian are not ARABS,
they got invaded like us, same for EGYPT,MORACCO and ALGERIA, all those country are not ARABS, originally!!
it's just RELIGION OF PEACE HAPPENED TO THEM!!
there isn't that many native Palestinian live there anymore!
@@uncertifiedlinguist8396 as an Iranian I ask you to kindly stfu
@@applenuggets662 you are the reason why Iran is 20 years in the past in comparison to the west. You love emotional religion
Ryan G. Poor Persian still blaming Arabs for his problems. The name "Omar" makes your blood boil you poor pathetic being. Iran can be a great nation competing with Turkey, China, India, and even the US and Europe. Because of your "Khomeini" revolution your country can now be compared to Afghanistan or SriLanka. It has been more than 1,400 years and you dummies are still bitching. Islam brought freedom to you people who were slaves to your King Kisra you little Kiri.
Ive been there and I must say those Mexican cooks sure know how to whip up some good Persian food.
Lol
And Chinese food also. LOL
It's like Bangladeshi and Indonesians of Malaysia and Singapore...the work horse
@Michael Rodriguez a huevo
Not just people from Mexico, basically any country from Central America. Here in NYC they staff the kitchens of all restaurants. Italian, Greek, Pizza joints, etc. I've worked with them and they are hardworking and dedicated AF. Many of them take the work because its available and is often paid in cash, which helps if you are undocumented. That also means they have no protections and no benefits. I would trust my life with any one of them. They are good people, not criminals. Criminals don't work in shitty jobs for little pay, they commit crimes.
This place is a must-go-to-eat place . Always has fresh meats , staff is so professional and friendly , salads are superb, seriously it’s gem here in Glendale , Ca. Love Raffi’s Place !
Absolutely the best Persian food you can have outside Iran . Thank you Raffi for always improving your food quality . Two thumbs up .
I doubt it, The UK is where thats at
@@PLayAshEFF72british people dont even have their own food, highly doubt any food is good there. No wonder a bunch of iron chefs are british, they wanted to escape from their bland fish and chips

That's "Tahdig" 😍
You must try it
I want to ,but I don't live in lA
@@akmzahidurrahman2162 just cook rice normally then put 1 tablespoon of oil in a pot and throw some turmeric in there (optional just for color) then put the cooked rice in until the rice at the bottom of the pot is crispy
will do sir
Wow! I've never try Persian food before, I should go there. 😊👍
Yeah it's so good. I'm Persian I would know trust me!

امیدوارم حال همه شما ایرانی های عزیز خوب باشد، من یک دانشجو سابق از کشور مقدونیه هستم که در ایران درس و تحصیل کرده ام. راستی وقتی که تازه رفته بودم مدتی طول کشید تا با غذاهای ایرانی عادت کنم، اما بعد از گذشت چند ماه نه تنها عادت کردم بلکه به شدت عاشق آن شدم. بی صبرانه منتظر این هستم که فرصتی بشود به ایران سفر کنم و از غذاهای لذیذ و خوشمزه ایرانی نوش جان کنم انشاء الله.
بهترین آرزوها برای ایران و شما ایرانی ها آرزومندم.
خدا نگهدار شما باشد
سلام..زنده باشی....ممنون بخاطر نظر خوبت درباره ایران...امیدوارم بازم بیای و لذت ببری قدمت روی چشم.....❤❤

I've been visiting California from Arizona and I found this place in Glendale accidentally in the way back. Guys I can't explain how tasty they foods are... You have to try it... It's real Persian food. It reminds me my childhood... Good job guys.. can't wait to be there next time...
Persian food is amazing everyone should try it
Omg... the rice....i love a lot of Persian dishes but i LOVE Persian rice 😍😋
Yeah it's the best
I live minutes from here and we go there once a month. Their appetizers are amazing. Some of the food is very similar. My favorite appetizer is the ikra (eggplant dip) and their yogurt and cucumber! Definitely recommend the place. A must try!
Thanks, Caroline. Raffi's place is awesome. Շնորհակալություն.
Persia is sovereign in so many ways, including food. It's amazing how thing like kebabs are given their own twist and it still blends in. I might bring in one of my Persian friends to that restaurant if I go to California.
Middle eastern food is NOT Persian food
Better say Iranian than persian
Am a mexican, I find persian food so fresh and healthy, without having the label 'healty'. It is super delicious, I have tried in Chicago...
Inspiring thank you for sharing
I ALWAYS love the Columbia! The food is delicious, the decor is fantastic, & the service is top notch. The Columbia takes you back to a time when eating out was a rare treat. The decor is over the top opulence with statues, chandeliers and tiles. Between the historical vibe and the fabulous Cuban food, the company store (where you can buy the scrumptious Cuban bread, their family cookbooks, or the beautiful Sangria pitchers) and easy parking options, The Columbia is a great choice for a casual lunch or dinner to impress!
Iranian/persian food is just soooooo gooooood
“It’s so gooooooood” - 10/10 description
Great memories here @ Raffis will never forget
0:54 onwards ...everything is so satisfying to watch ....like some artists working on their masterpieces
Before watching this video, I googled:
‘Typical Day of Persian Eating”
I was thinking of making a video and was checking to see if any were out.
I watched @ClevverStyle’s video first. Absolutely disappointing. Terrible representation of the culture by someone claiming to be half iranian.
I see this second. Amazing representation, beautiful description, every detail accurate and on point. To me this demonstrates the quality of this video. ClevverStyle has almost three million subscribers and they put out a false representation they should be ashamed of.
Thankyou for redeeming it. This video has double the views. Wonder why.
Probably because Caroline is extremely intelligent and well versed. She actually knows what shes speaking on.
Accuracy matters people :) thumbs up if you agree!
This looks delicious
I see you on all the Insider videos I've watched
Yes, she does.
Happy New year I hope all of you and your family have amazing time and wish you best in 2021.
Now, that looks delicious!
Has to go shopping tomorrow.
This place is great. Also Cafe Bravo in Glendale.
Also way cheaper
Hello neighbor!
I 100 percent recommend this place! It’s amazing! I’m Persian and it reminds me of when my Grandma would cook for me!
As a Russian/Canadian living in a adopted Armenian family I gotta say it reminds me of what they would cook
Been going to Raffis for years! The food is so damn good! Everything tastes so good, the meats, the rice, the hummus and egg plant! And generous portions. 😋
Amazing video thanks
Looks delicious. I'm hungry
lol i can tell u how to cook it i'm persian some of them say these foods are mexican but they are persian food and they are not
spicy! these foods are thousands years old lol
Hello im Austria
We Iranians are such enthusiastic food lovers!
Love persian food! one of the things I miss about living in Los Angeles is the diversity of cuisine!!
The food look so good! I’m drooling
Amazing food, this is art.
This place is very famous in LA I highly recommend everyone to try Raffis
how are they going to grill on gas though? I would walk out as soon I saw that shit
My favorite restaurant once a month we go there delicious never seen or ate anywhere else love u food sooooook much
I didn't have any of the food here but the bar itself was a nice place to hang out in, spacious and clean. I didn't hear any complaints about the drinks from my friends. Cool place to hang out.
Not gonna lie this looks crazy good
i have been going to place with my family my whole life!!
My favorite restaurant in the world.
This place awesome, one of my favorite places in Glendale!
i believe that food brings people together, no matter where you are from or background etc, so as I love cooking I am doing a around the world food recipe each month. so far I have done indian, Chinese, thai , Spanish , Mexican so this month I am doing Persian.....I can not wait.
2:54 thats what she said
Love persian and mediterranean food it's relatively healthy and filling, best post workout meal
Love this place!!!
It looks so appetizing!
I will come on July and definitely I will eat those KB. my favourite foods
Salam....
They should put this video in Food Insider too.
Yasss I love their food❣
I knew this was going to say Raffi’s place before I even clicked it. I have been going to Raffi’s since 1986 and let me tell you they are truly the BEST Persian middle eastern restaurant in Los Angeles. I’ve ate at them all Orchid’s, Shiraz, Shamshiri. None of them have the consistency and amazing mouth watering flavor’s as Raffi’s. Hence why his business has grew from originally a literally hole in the wall restaurant to him buying out all the surrounding business and by 1990 making it the well known established and great business it is today.
I could eat this food for every meal every day... forever and ever!!!
Persian food is so delicious 😋
All of the items on the menu here are vegan. We got the Jamaican Jerk. Was perfectly spiced and tasted great. The selection of locally brewed craft beer is awesome. The bartender was helpful in finding me the right beer by offering a sample. Can get super busy and seating is limited. Great place overall ! I would definitely recommend it if you're in the San Jose downtown area.
Looks amazing!
I would like this for reasons
Persian restaurant, Mexican cooks...😂
Pretty much same at most restaurants, Chinese food, French, Italian and even sushi, cooked by Latinos/ Mestizos/ Natives of the Americas.
As a Mexican-American I can say that the meals are very similar. It's basically a carne asada.
Not alot of Spaniards in Cali
@@jomanci I worded that improperly. What I meant was latinos, mestizos, mulatos, surviving descendants of the natives that lived in these lands before the raping and the pillaging by Spaniards and other Europeans! 😆
@@abrahamcantu6147 si pero Los sabores son totalmente diferente
Awesome food. I go to this place for a dinner whenever I visit LA
Omg it has been a while since I have eaten these foods and now l am craving this
Nice
AYYY IM PERSIAN!!!
cool
Me 2!!!!!
sameeeeeeeeeeeee
Same! And I’ve been to this restaurant; it’s authentic and delicious!!
Same 👍👍👍👍
Whenever I would visit my friend in CA, this is the 1st place we go to eat right after getting off of the plane!
Raffi’s Place is one of the best restaurants in LA, and worth the trip every time from anywhere throughout the county.
*That meat looks so good*
ChickenYale Why, you vecans godda ruin everiding (joke)
Im half persian, we have this like everyday lmao
It looks as amazing. No doubts on how it will taste.
this is one of my favorites places in los angeles
i feel like i've seen the man somewhere before
The Gr8 Malachite he has one of those “familiar” faces
Kingsman.... he is merlin!! Hahaha
I love Persian food
Holy hell that food looks incredible!
I love Raffi and I usually go there as a casual day. I recommend Raffi out of all the kabob restaurants
Johnny Sins as a restaurant owner
LOL!
Food looks good
And at the same time looks expensive 👀
Here in the UK depending on kebab range it costs from £9-18.
I just had koobideh kabab last night... It melts in the mouth!!! ❤️
A Fan why do you wanna gain weight?
Mallory Pallory
Yes? And I just wanna eat here to taste the food it looks soo delicious 😋
You get what you pay for.
In Iran you get it very cheap though.
I am so hungry after watching this. Everything looks delicious
One of my stops on my next trip to LA.

Hi
What is the full form of CA
Rajat Garg - CA is California. Is that what you mean?
Even in Tehran armanian own best Persian restaurant my favorite, Ararat and khoshnood
hello, Ramin
That is exactly right, I remember growing up in Tehran, owner of Khshnood was a great Armenian man called ' Shiran Baronian and his lovely wife' his partner of Ardabas( not a big fan of him!) Shiran was a great man, he was working in kitchen, he is in heaven now...
Armenians know how to do good cakes too
Seems delicious 😍😍😍 Next time in LA I will come and eat there 😍😍😍
Looks and sounds delicious!!!
Get rid of her please. She makes your videos go from a 10/10 to a 7/10 every time.
No offense but Armenian and Persians do not always co-exist and to get a completely non-Iranian Armenian woman to do this and allow her to appropriate our food by implying her family makes the same is completely wrong.. not helping the middle east western stereotypes
Iranians, Armenians and Azeris used to be a same nation not very long time ago. All were part of Persia.
actually, people of Azerbaijan are Turkish too they prefer to call themselves as Turk. Turkey Turks and Azerbaijan Turks are like a brother they talk almost language (with the different accent only) and share the same culture. Name of Azeri is given to them by Russians to make them forget their identities.
kadiqoyly yaralı dude! It seems delusion of panturkism is all over ur country. Real Turks are from central Asia closed to Mongolia and China. Xinjiang is a real land of real Turks. Even nowadays there is an area that in Kazakhstan named Turkistan. ur most country Turkey originally are Circisians, Greeks, Romans,Georgians, Kurds, Azeris, Russians, Persians, Romans, Arabs, Bulgars and Balkanizes who assimilated by ghuz Turks and mustafa kamal pasha wanted to unify that area by naming everyone as a turk. Still more than 15 million Kurds live in ur country.Izmir city and all the area around it people speak Greek and are originally Greeks even you can see Roman and Greek architectures all over the city. What r u talking about? 😂😂😂😂😂 Azerbaijan is the same thing. A country full of Azeris, Georgians, Kurds, Kurmanj, Lezgis, Abkhasis, Russians, Armenians, Tats, Talishs, Tajiks, Persians and Turks which seprated from Persia not more than 200 years ago becuase of oil. u Turks (AKA Circisians) Think that there was no people, ethnic or nation ever existed before ottoman empire. I remember when I read a turkish newspaper which claimed in even native American Indians, Elvis Parsley and Lady Gaga were Turks 😂😂😂😂😂, Believe me before even ottoman empire existed, Greek Empire, Persian Empire, Roman Empire, Russian Empire, Abkhaz Empire ruled the whole Caucasia and Anatoly. So don’t claim for every shit. Be creative! 😁😁😁😁😁
@@billsmart2726 why would you give that guy' a negative answer..? He hasn't written anything wrong..TURKEY' is a collective' country where many ethnic groups live together..but i' can understand from your stupid post , we TURKS' have taken a deep place in your subconscious..
Kamil Sarızeybek why u r worried about my answer to him? 😁😁😁 is he ur father or related to u somehow?! So mind ur business. I didn’t say anything wrong either. Why u got so upset about that? Relax and take a deep breath and read it carefully again. About your last sentence u couldn’t express urself in proper english. Probably u thought turkish and wanted to translated in english which is not working. But from ur broken english it seems some of u yeniceris and turkified circassians have a deep place of Persians, Azeris, Kurds, Arabs, Greeks, Georgians, Russians and Armenians in ur conscious because u guys have stolen a lot from their cultures, Languages, Famous people and cuisines. So 😉🤗🤗
@@billsmart2726 what's wrong with u..? I ain't written nothing wrong .i only tried to say ' you seem very much concerned about TURKS'..i didn't cuss at you or never claimed you're wrong..but maybe it's you who's in struggle to find his real daddy..why' don't u go and ask your mom, brainless bumphead ?
cool it looks soooooo cool and delicious
