Overall a busy and bustling place. The meat is good, salad is not impressive, iceberg lettuce is not what I would expect out of a Persian restaurant. Recently expanded the restaurant, not high end in terms of decor but the quality of the meat is worth it. They do not take reservation so get in line early, you may have to wait between 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Excellent grilled kabobs!!! I have been coming to Shamshiry for almost 20 years and the kabobs here are consistently excellent and delicious! The place is always crowded and Persian and other languages are spoken by many patrons. The service is always friendly and efficient and each dish is definitely enough for two people....unless you're me! I always order half rice half salad because they give you so much rice otherwise. The rice is perfectly cooked basmati rice. Enjoy!
The food is great. One of the best Persian cuisines in the area. The ambience is ordinary, and trying to keep the prices down, the owners have cut down fancy dishes, waiters, and alcohol. It is certainly recommended for trying the Persian kebob, and takeouts.
I love the food here. The portions are very big. Prices are low. Excellent customer service. My favorite it Chicken and Kobida. Their kabobs are truly the best.
