Do you taste a difference between Arab and Persian food? If so what? What restaurant in Los Angeles do you like best?

Answer:
The main difference for me between Persian and Arabic food is that Persian food is a bit richer in texture. I like both cuisines equally. I love chelo kebabs, fesenjan, koobideh, all sabzis, badenjan...

Arabic foods: fattoush, kofta, markook, balila, batata harra, arnabeet me'leh, bathenjan makli,
mutabbel...


The cuisine of Iran is diverse, with each province featuring dishes, as well as culinary traditions and styles, distinct to their regions. It includes a wide variety of foods ranging from chelow kabab (barg, koobideh, joojeh, shishleek, soltani, chenjeh), khoresht (stew that is served with white Basmati or Persian rice: ghormeh sabzi, gheimeh, and others), aash (a thick soup), kookoo (meat and/or vegetable pies), polow (white rice alone or with addition of meat and/or vegetables and herbs, including loobia polow, albaloo polow, zereshk polow, and others), and a diverse variety of salads, pastries, and drinks specific to different parts of Iran. The list of Persian recipes, appetizers and desserts is extensive.

Herbs are used a lot, as is fruit from plums and pomegranates to quince, prunes, apricots, and raisins. The main Persian cuisines are combinations of rice with meat, chicken or fish and plenty of garlic, onion, vegetables, nuts, and herbs. To achieve a balanced taste, unique Persian spices such as saffron, diced limes, cinnamon, and parsley are mixed delicately and used in some special dishes.

Arabian cuisine today is the result of a combination of richly diverse cuisines, incorporating Lebanese cooking, Indian cooking, and many items not indigenous to the Persian Gulf region, which were imported on the dhows and caravans. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: lamb, yogurt, mint, thyme (often in a mix called za'atar), the inescapable tea (preferably Ceylon), sesame, curry powder, saffron, turmeric, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, rice (the staple), and, in coastal areas, fish. In addition, the cuisine is heavily dosed with anything hot, from hot sauces to every variety of pepper, to tea drunk, the hotter the better. This cuisine also favors vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplants, and onions, and fruits (primarily citrus), and often used as seasonings for entrees.

I don't eat bugs.
baklava!!! so good! so sweet!
Ckicken Kabob *yummy*
i love shish kebab, and gyros, not the crappy greek ones, go to a turkish or Azerbijani resturant and eat whatever they have there. (azerbijan is right next to Iran which used to persia)
I like the crusty potatoes on the bottom of persian rice. I believe it is called the "tahdiq."
Here's my top-5 favorite list of yummy foods ordered by their general reputation either inside of Iran or outside as I personally experienced in London, UK:

1. Chelo-Kabak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/chelow_kaba...
2. Fesenjan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fesenjan)...
3. Gheimeh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/gheimeh)...
4. Ghormeh Sabzi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ghormeh_sab...
5. Sabzi Polo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sabzi_polo)...
There is a huge difference between the two--Persian food is much more complicated and spicy and closer to South-Asian food.
Raffi's Armenian food restaurant in Glendale off of Brand near the post office. Parking can be a pain, but it is worth it.
