Persian grills, Levantine wraps, and Iranian home cooking clustered around Republic Square and the Northern Avenue spine

Shirvan anchors the scene with 3,500+ reviews and charcoal-grilled kabab koubideh; Falafel Box brings street-cart energy near the Opera with crisp chickpea fritters and tahini. The Amiryan-Nalbandyan corridor hosts Phoenix and Lagonid, both doing rice-and-stew plates in compact dining rooms. Most venues halal-certify their meat and keep Persian tea service going all afternoon.
