Kabobs may not be legally required at Persian meals, but they’re certainly strongly encouraged. Joshua Lurie Lule kabob on sangak flatbread Joshua Lurie Ash e Anar is a soup featuring pomegranate tang. You should also inquire about soup of the day, which was chicken noodle during my visit. This tangy vegetable soup features a slick of pomegranate molasses, vegetables, hearty black-eyed peas, pink beans lentils, and an enlightening mix of parsley, cilantro, tarragon, and two mystery herbs. Joshua Lurieī B Saara serves a bunch of dips to start, including mast-o khiar (cucumber yogurt), mast-o moosir (shallot yogurt), and kashk e bademjan (roasted eggplant dip), but I’d suggest ash e anar ($7.95) above all else. Beef tongue sandwich is one of L.A.’s best. He maintains a strong connection to his homeland, sourcing herbs, spices, pickles, and grains to deliver authentic flavors. Moe Nourkhah grew up in Tehran and opened B B Saara in summer 2016 with a name that translates from Farsi as “Grandma’s Place”. Yes, you can combine creamy maghz (lamb brains) with beef tongue, which go together like offal PB&J. Mortadella and kuku sabzi (herbed frittata) are other possible fillings. Thick slices are boiled and roasted until fork-tender and stacked with crisp iceberg lettuce, tomato, mayo, and punchy Persian pickled cucumbers. Lamb brains and beef tongue go together like offal PB&J His soft hoagie-like roll is toasted and pairs beautifully with beef tongue ($8.95). Joshua Lurieī B Saara doesn’t have the kitchen space to accommodate a bread oven, but owner Moe Nourkhah developed a recipe for sandwich bread that he bakes at an off-site facility using a blend of Persian and American grains. At night, the patio fills with Persian-Americans and hookahs. On nights B B Saara hosts parties, action spills into a private room with twin pianos, guitars, and flat screen TVs for multimedia theatrics. The moon ushers in a totally different vibe, with people filing into red and black clothed tables to smoke flavored tobacco, listen to Arabic music, and of course, to eat. The daytime is low-key, with just a few diners. B B Saara is a patio-centric restaurant that’s popular with Persian-Americans who come to smoke hookah and eat comfort food until 4 a.m. r/Hookah is for smokers 18 and older only.Long after the lights go out on the bulk of businesses at Encino’s Capri Plaza, people are just settling into the back of a long and lean brick courtyard that’s just beyond the reach of Google Street View.
