The tahdig alone is worth the drive. We came for one birthday and have been coming every Friday since.

Come home Westwood · IrvinehungrySince 1991
At Anar every plate is set the way Maman Parvin set it in 1991: rice washed three times, saffron bloomed slowly, a crust of tahdig for whoever reaches first. Persian home cooking, served with ceremony.
The art of
the sofreh
From the first glass of tea to the last spoon of saffron ice cream, every detail is an invitation.
Our StorySignature dishes.
Family recipes.
Every recipe on our menu came to Los Angeles in a notebook, in Maman Parvin's handwriting and stained with saffron. We have changed the grill, the ovens and the produce since 1991. We have not changed the notebook.

Rooted in
the family
Since 1991 Anar has been the Sadri family's living room with a few more tables. Parents bring their children to the booth where they had their own birthdays, and the tea is poured before anyone asks. First visit or hundredth, you arrive as a guest and leave as family.

Like dinner at my grandmother's, if my grandmother had a charcoal grill and a wine list.
