Seyed, owner of Ferdussi Restaurant has received his Masters Degree in management from University of New Hampshire and has been in restaurant business for last 21 years. Before he started his own business, he worked for many international and national restaurant chains and held positions as regional manager and district manager. He is considered one of the pioneers and founders of Persian Cuisine in America.

The staff at Ferdussi Restaurant are well trained by Seyed himself and he spends a great deal of his time to make sure everyone at his restaurant keeps up with the standards he has set for them.

As a teenager when I came to America I notice that how much Americans like my Persian cooking. I was always asked by my professors and coaches to prepare something from Persian Cuisine, they were fascinated by the flavor and the healthy approaches. I have to admit the first American tried my cooking was my long time roommate John; he was all around American boy and nothing would make him happier than giving him hot dogs and beans. After being roommate for about four years and a summer trip to Persia, he wanted to change his name to Ali Baba. John was my first customer in America and today I have thousands of royal customers which visit my restaurant regularly.

Everything at Ferdussi Restaurant is designed to look first class. The impressive menus look more like album cover, and dinning room has a classic air to it. Servers look snappy in tuxedo shirts, bow ties and colorful paisley vests.

I have noticed during my lunch that most of the customers wait to shake hand with me on their way out and thank me for the fantastic food and service they received.

Persian food is one of the wonderfully realized cuisines, passed down generations for thousands of years. It is full of fresh ingredients and herbs, giving the food a rich flavor that is neither overly spiced nor bland but distinctive in its own right.

Ferdussi Restaurant has been awarded many times, nationally and locally.

Southern California Restaurant writers for past three years have voted Ferdussi as the award-winning restaurant.

Fresh seafood dipped in Saffron sauce, tender lamb, beef and filet mignon marinated in onion juice and herbs, chicken dishes are cooked in imported lemon juice and Saffron sauce are some of the items on the Menu.
