We had a really enjoyable dinner at Shamshiri Persian Restaurant tonight. We ordered the koobideh kebab and the lamb shank, and both dishes were incredibly tender and packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly prepared.
The service was also wonderful. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they even treated us to complimentary tea at the end of the meal, which was a very nice touch. I would absolutely recommend this place and look forward to coming back...

4/5 times they are excellent. Today was just one of those days I ordered when they first opened and food was off- almost heated from the night before. Unsure what happened but this is mainly for the owners to read. I will be back as traditionally stellar but this compelled me to write a review to see what happened in the kitchen AM 2/20/26 for koobideh.

We visited Shamshiri Restaurant with our family along with the family of one of our American friends. We had not made a reservation ahead of time, but the front staff were extremely gracious and managed to seat us at a nice table. Even though many tables were already booked, they still welcomed us with genuine warmth.

The food was excellent and the service team did a wonderful job taking care of us. It was our American friends first time trying Persian cuisine...
