Wonderful Persian cuisine. We've been enjoying Shalizaar for years, and I later learned from an Iranian colleague that his is where he and all of his Iranian friends love to go to. He said it's very much a taste of home.

Our party had the koobideh and the barg. I can confidently say that the Koobideh is the best Koobideh I’ve ever had in the USA. It can benefit from teeny tiny bit more of onion and salt in the Koobideh mix. That said, I’d rather add the salt myself than have a salty kabob. I did not have the barg myself but according to my friends their barg is a strong 9/10. Their service was very attentive and fast. They brought bread, cheese, and herbs with walnut to the table. It was a greater starter. Walnuts were very fresh and they made the bread in place. We also had the tahdig appetizer with ghorme and gheyme. If you want recommendations for the appetizer definitely get this. However, I feel like ghrome and gheymeh are one of those foods that you like the one you make at home most. I can say that most Iranian places I’ve been to are on the expensive side but I would say that they priced their food very fairly. Definitely recommend.
