Wonderful ambiance. Great food and very nice staff. They give you the warm and friendly vibes and you don't want to leave. I love this place and recommend it for all the occasions you have. Thank you for the great service
My favorite Persian restaurant. Let me start off by saying that this restaurant has fresh food. No microwave here! Their appetizers are house made and their entrees are made to order. The service is impeccable. Management is professional. The ambiance is warm and pretty. This place is a little gem in the valley.
Amazing delicious food, amazing staff, amazing entertainment, amazing EVERYTHING!! The fish, rice, and all appetizers were so amazing. The best rice I've ever had. The entertainment and singers were wonderful and the staff is so sweet and pleasant. I look so forward to every return here!
I had a work event hosted here and everything was great. The servers were very attentive. We were seated inside which was warm, but the outside area looked gorgeous. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and tender. The chicken was fantastic as well. Also, a special shoutout to their baba ganoush. The only thing to make this place perfect would be to change the pita bread. Otherwise, 10/10.
What a wonderful place! It's conveniently located among countless shops in Encino, and they even boast their own parking structure, so getting in and out is a breeze. I loved the chandeliers and the whole ambiance. The coffee is WONDERFUL - make sure to get some (and get some more to go). Sean and the rest of the staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. EVERYONE RAVED about the food. And they even have a full stage complete with sound room for live entertainment. If I weren't elsewhere myself, I'd LOVE to go to their New Years Eve show. Can't wait to come back!
Our experience at Pialon restaurant was wonderful! I took my guests who came from outside of USA to this place to experience Persian cuisine & music & they all had so much fun! We were warmly welcomed by Michael, the owner, whose friendliness and genuine hospitality make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening. The entertainment by Diyar was truly fantastic--he brought such vibrant energy to the place and kept everyone engaged and entertained throughout the night. His performance added so much to the experience and made the evening even more special. I love that he added some English songs to the mix. Our servers were also both amazing. I just think they needed more than two servers for a Friday night, to take the pressure off of just the two of them. Between the delicious food, wonderful hospitality, and Diyar's outstanding entertainment, Pialon is definitely a must-visit!
I didn't expect to food to be this gooood. My kabob was fantastic. The music was great as well. DJ Kevin did a great job. We brought our own alcohol. It was a great night. I highly recommend this place .
We were looking for a place we've never been to take our friend for his birthday. We've considered trying Pialon in the past but never made it, so this was our opportunity. Making reservations over the phone was easy. The woman we spoke with was very polite and informative. She let us know that on Thursday nights there's typically a band, on Friday a DJ, and on Saturday a band. We decided to go on a Friday night. We knew they did not provide alcohol but were told we could bring our own, so that was a helpful tip. We walked into a big, beautiful, outdoor space where there were multiple groups of tables celebrating occasions- birthdays and even a 50th anniversary. The energy felt positive and uplifting. We started off with the combo appetizer platter. We all loved the hummus and ordered it again. The kashke bademjun was also a favorite. We tried the chicken kabob, shish kabob, Greek salad, and Persian pizza. No complaints about anything. DJ came on promptly at 8:30. We danced a few times, but the music was solely Persian. I know it's a Persian restaurant, but would be nice to hear at least a little bit of a mix next time. Staff was very attentive and efficient; they were running around all night!
