Westwood and Beverly Hills are large Persian communities, so it is therefore no surprise to find some of the best Persian food there. Topping that list is Shaherzad. Enormous portions and exotic spices, exactly what you expect from Middle Eastern food. For most of us, our knowledge of Middle Eastern food ends with kabobs, and [...]

There’s two particularly useful websites I’ve discovered. One is Open Table, which I have used for a long time, and the other is one I discovered last night called Menu Pix.
