Char Fasl is a family owned and operated
Persian restaurant that has been serving the Conejo Valley since 1999.
The defining characteristic of Persian cuisine is that it is
light and healthy. Meats are charbroiled,
vegetables are used liberally – and heavy oils and sauces are not used at
all. At Char Fasl you not only find this
light and healthy Persian cuisine, but you also find a wide variety of
dishes. The predominantly Persian clientele
of the early years has evolved to now include customers from other cultural
backgrounds and those that simply want to eat healthy food.
For example, Char Fasl is a favorite stop for fitness trainers
and people on diets.
The Char Fasl menu includes appetizers, salads, kabobs,
stews, sandwiches, vegetarian meals; as well as beef, chicken, lamb, and
seafood dishes. Most of the appetizers are
vegetarian, with "hummos", "tahtig", and "kashk o bademjan" being the most
popular. Salads come with or without
charbroiled chicken, and the "salade shirazi" is a favorite.
All the kabobs, being charbroiled, are very healthy and popular
among those who watch their diets. The
"kabob barg" uses the absolutely best cut of fillet mignon.
The "beef koobideh" kabob made with ground
beef, as well as the "boneless chicken kabob", the "lamb kabob", and the
"salmon kabob" are also very popular. Those
who prefer a sandwich will find several chicken or beef choices.
There is also a separate, attractively
priced, lunch menu, served from 11AM to 3PM, Monday through Friday, where
each item on the menu is served with a generous portion of soup or salad.
The lunch menu provides an excellent opportunity to sample some
of this cuisine. Please click on the "lunch menu"
and "dinner menu" links above for the complete menus.
The expansion and remodeling completed in May 2005
gives Char Fasl a warm yet classy atmosphere that is European.
The warm colors and comfortable seating add
to your dining pleasure. The
floor-to-ceiling windows with their graceful, see-through curtains generate
a sense of openness while preserving privacy. Outside
seating under the shade of a tree is also available. The
ambiance will definitely add to your dining experience. Char
Fasl is also available for private parties and
special occasions - call for more information.
Live Entertainment: On
Friday and Saturday nights Char Fasl is not only the place to enjoy great
food, but also the place to be entertained. There is live music, a singer
specializing in international music, and a belly dancer.

Carryout: At
Char Fasl, the carryout orders are a significant part of the business. There
is speculation about why this is the case – but one reason given is that
Persian cuisine "carries well". In other
words, the food tastes great even when it is only warm, and it also doesn’t
lose any of its taste when it is re-heated. Many
business lunches in the area are carryout orders from Char Fasl.
Everything on the menu is available for
carryout.
Delivery: For
small orders delivery is handled through a service ("VIP Meals", (818)
597-9979, www.VIPmeal.com). For larger orders (10 or more), Char Fasl
will deliver within a 5 mile radius (call to inquire about longer
distances). Make your selection using the
