Is Hamlets a sit down or pickup only?
Is it also wise to order in advance there?
Is Hamlets a sit down or pickup only?
It’s NEITHER! believe it or not, lol. there’s a small area of tables created around trees where you can stand up and eat. I went last night and got the Sheyka (baby pork boneless) – if you’re not down for the cartilage this is the next best play.
It’s not that crowded right now so you can go and order. Also – cash only!!

The wife’s best bite of 2021.
Pork Cartilage and Combo Lula with Eggplant Caviar and that craxy tarragon sode (she wants to spike it with tequila later).

One thing about Fern Saj - their Beef Luleh is nothing special. Just ground meat as far as I could tell. Not bad but nothing like the beef at Hamlets, Taste of Tehran, or any number of Persian koibideh joints. Def stick with the shawarma or pizzas of you want meat there.

definitely agree. their lule is crumbly, tough sledding. the thing i wanted to talk about was their pizza which was one of the more addictive things i’ve eaten while on this trip! their other baked goods (fatayer, saj, etc.) were also great!!

Just to let folks know, you can pick up any one of several brands of tarragon soda - even in 2 liter bottles - at many markets, including small Russian markets such as Odessa and Tashkent in Valley Village; small Armenian markets in Glendale; Pacific Coast Food Co. in North Hollywood (aka: “The Russian Costco”) and Sunland Produce in Sun Valley. For that matter, other sodas (pear, buratino) from Russia, Armenia and former Soviet Union countries, and kvass as well.

also sold at super king - at least the one in altadena for sure. i admit that i have never been inclined to try it. maybe with roast chicken or poached salmon? and i think it’s two r’s.

Yep. Typo. Corrected.
That’s good info, thanks. It doesn’t surprise me that Super King in Altadena sells it. I wouldn’t be surprised that there are markets in Pasadena, especially along Washington, to get these sodas as well, I just haven’t explored the markets there.
I went the other day and the guy told me they are no longer doing potatoes! Hoping that was just for that day?? Anybody have intel on this?
