My friend Ana has been to Fanoos in Torrance so when Sandi and I decided to try the food, I thought it would be a good idea to ask her what we should order. We took her advise. We ordered the Beef Koobideh, described as two juicy strips of charbroiled seasoned ground beef. The portions looked humongous so we decided to split an order but ordered extra rice. You have a choice of rice and Ana said she liked the one with the berries. Zereshk Polo which is Basmati rice mixed with barberries (looks like baby cranberries), topped with saffron.

We also ordered the Maust' Khiar which was a combination of yoghurt and chopped cucumbers flavored with dill. This came with pita bread. It was delicious and refreshing. Ana also mentioned she liked to put this over her meat, so that's what we did and boy was she right on the money. It was like Fred and Ginger. For the young ones, google Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. They were a perfect pair.
The extra order of rice was enough to feed 4. I was the only one that dipped into that plate, (surprised?) so it was only fare that Sandi take the rest home!
Fanoos is open for lunch and dinner. They are located at 25336 Crenshaw Blvd. (corner of Crenshaw and Airport Dr.) in Torrance, California.
