Persian Restaurant in Long Beach
About the Restaurant
Established in 2003, Gypsy Restaurant has become a beloved destination for authentic Mediterranean and Persian cuisine in Long Beach. Founded by experienced chefs with over 20 years in the culinary field, Gypsy brings together the warmth of home-style cooking with the elegance of traditional flavors rooted in Tehran. This unique blend of regional inspiration and personal flair sets Gypsy apart as more than just a restaurant — it’s a cultural experience.
Our Culinary Philosophy
Gypsy is driven by a passion for authenticity and a commitment to health-conscious, flavorful cooking.
