Shamshiri - Northridge

The food was great. Big portions were served. Everyone was nice and welcoming. I gave it 4 stars because at the end of our meal we asked for boxes. The waiter wasn't in a good mood I guess and didn't notice that he gave me a dirty box with food and hair stock on it. I was planning to come back but unfortunately this will be the last time I go there.

The food and service at Shamshiri are excellent! The staff are so friendly and hospitable. Highly recommend Shamshiri!

I decided to try this restaurant for the first time, as we are fans of Persian food. Upon arriving, we were greeted by the owner, who gave us some excellent recommendations. As a vegetarian, I was impressed with the variety of options available. The dishes we ordered, including the vegetarian fesenjoon, tahdig, vegetarian tas kebab, and Adas polo, were all delicious, freshly prepared, and authentic. The food not only tasted great but also looked amazing. The service was exceptional, and we will definitely be returning in the future.

IRAN Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles: It would be remiss not to mention how well the folks at Shamshiri take care of you. Service levels across the restaurant spectrum can go from you being a bother just existing to a server taking a true interest in showing off the food available, and Shamshiri definitely is the latter. Your meals here can benefit from questions and conversation while ordering. If there is only room for one kabob order on the table, you cannot go wrong with the shishlick $22.95), five wonderfully marinated lamb chops. Despite being the most expensive single kabob selection on the menu, the chops are big and good value. Get them done medium-rare.

I have been dining at this restaurant for more than 20 years and their selection of kebabs never fails to impress. The food here is outstanding, with dishes that are flavorful and perfectly cooked, making for a very healthy menu. We appreciate the high quality of the Persian cuisine served here, which offers great value and consistently excellent service.
