Excellent Persian Food
Although I am not Persian or of Middle Eastern decent, I love this place. The food is outstanding. The kabobs are always cooked perfectly, the rice is amazing and the sides are awesome. The starter is the free pita bread and hot pepper sauce. Spread with butter and you can eat it all day.    [23 Jun 2005 11:24:40]

Nothing Compares to This
We have been going to Shamshiry for at least 10 years, and it is consistently fantastic in both the food and the service. In this time, there has been a handful of additions to the menu, but nothing that has taken away from the unparalleled wonderful-ness of the food. The rice is unachievable at home; the kebabs are juicy and flavorful; the salmon melts in your mouth; and while the flavors are distinct, nothing is really spicy or overwhelming. I love the rice with sweet sauce. ...I love everything. I have never brought a guest there who didn't ask to go back.    [11 Nov 2007 13:08:39]
