I wouldn't have discovered this Persian restaurant if it hadn't been for OpenTable. Located not far from LAX in Lawndale, it turned out to be a fantastic find for Afghan and other ethnic dishes; I particularly enjoyed the kabobs and various rice dishes. They also offer Italian options. The restaurant has a lunch menu as well. Situated in a bustling shopping center, there's plenty of free parking available. The service was attentive and personal. The restaurant has been recently refurbished and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. I will definitely be bringing my business colleagues back for a great meal.
The restaurant was very clean and the wait staff was very polite. The menu had many wonderful options both Italian and Persian. The wine list is limited, but good. The food was well prepared and the portions were huge, maybe too big, but worked well the next day at home too.... Nice for a dinner for two or a group for a casual dining experience. I recommend it to anyone for a nice change and to support a local business.
The service was poor, as they were trying to rush us through our dinner just so they could close sooner. The only time we would see the waiter was when he was checking if we wanted the bill.. What's the point of a reservation if we're just gonna be kicked out because the staff wanted to close shop. They even started vacuuming while we were eating. Overall poor service, I rather go Norms or Denny's
Hank is under new management, but it is STILL awesome. I had the boneless, dark chicken comb. The meat was delicate, tasteful and perfectly carburized. Cabobs are served with rice and a roasted tomatoes. I also ordered Gheymeh and Kaschke Bademjan. Both dishes were DELICIOUS! Give them a chance. You'll love it. Another thing, our waitress was friendly, prompt and knowledgeable.

The pizza was excellent, but the owner was quite rude when we arrived before 7 PM, as he wanted to close at 6 PM. It made for an uncomfortable atmosphere, with the owner frequently glancing at our table and the clock. The waitress was polite, but if you ask for water, you might have to wait if she gets a phone call. It's best not to draw attention to yourself.
Quality of food is great! but for their persian food they use hallal meat. For those of us who dont eat hallal or kosher meat (not the most humane slaughtering) unfortunately this place limits our options.
I always order two plates for delivery from this restaurant. I absolutely love the steak kabob plate. I’ve never eaten in the restaurant, but the food is really good, which keeps me coming back for more.
The wait staff was extremely friendly and the portions were quite substantial. I made it through maybe a third of my (very delicious) pasta. This seemed like a very family-friendly restaurant.

They criticized the location because it was empty at 11:00, but the food was excellent.
