This location is closed and now called Rainforest Cafe.
NoHo's Royal Garden has been a North Hollywood staple for 18 years. Its Mediterranean/Persian food is considered some of the best in Los Angeles. Regulars come for the unique setting, something of a jungle paradise with Greek statues, palm trees and roped-off dining areas. Be sure to wear a coat if you go on a cool SoCal night, though: all the tables are outdoors! Customers come for Persian classics like lamb kebab, chicken shawarma, beef soltani and a smoky hookah dessert, of which Royal Garden has a large selection of flavors.
