I noticed a new restaurant going in at 1551 #2 Santa Monica Blvd. (near Federal) in West LA, so I had to check it out.  I met the owner Nory, who is putting the finishing touches on his venture, Naan Hut.  The menu will be classic Persian, but the star of the show will  be the house-made naans (breads), which will be baked in the large oven behind him in the photo.  Look for an opening by the end of February.
