Termeh Cafe Restaurant
A Persian restaurant in Signal Hill known for kabobs and saffron rice, in a calm, elegant dining room that reviewers describe as the reason to choose it over a counter. Confirm on your first visit This one is community-sourced as halal, but the restaurant posts no explicit halal signage online and no reviewers mention halal specifically. Worth asking about sourcing before you order rather than assuming. What to order The koobideh is taken seriously enough here that a reviewer of Bakhtiari heritage goes through the grilling detail by detail and approves. Start with pan-fried rice with beans, sautéed eggplant, or hummus with pita and olives, then the kebabs. Good to know It works for a large group, and for introducing people to Persian food for the first time - hosts describe exactly that. Warm service is the constant in the reviews, owner included. Good for children and groups, reservations accepted, step-free access and free parking. Rated 4.3 from nearly 1,000 Google reviews.
