Shamshiri Grill

They offer authentic, traditional Persian dishes — especially flavorful stews and kebabs. The portions are generous and can easily feed two people. You can choose from several Persian rice mix to pair with your meal, and it’s worth trying the Persian tea and sweets for dessert. I’d definitely go back if I’m in the area again.

I had such a wonderful experience at Shamshiri (Westwood!)! The owner Fereiddon was so welcoming and greets everyone with such a warm smile. Even though he was so busy and was managing everyone, he literally poured me some tea and give to me because he was so happy I came again. It has such a warm, lovely atmosphere and everyone was working so hard but still they treated you with so much respect and consideration. The food was SO SO GOOD!! I ordered the beef koobideh kebob and it was so juicy and flavorful. As an appetizer they serve you fresh, hot bread with mint and butter and I just had such a great time, and I came back the next day for lunch aha! You must try it, it will be worth your while. :) The staff were all so caring and attentive, even though there is so much rush at this res

⭐⭐⭐ Shamshiri Grill - Good Kebabs, But the Vibe Was Tense. My recent visit for dinner left me with mixed feelings. The food, particularly the large kebab plate, was good, but not great—just solid Persian fare. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was quite distracting. The restaurant is tight, and the staff, especially who I assume was the manager, seemed very tense. He appeared to be yelling at someone (maybe staff or kitchen?) constantly, which made it hard to focus on our meal. The tight seating also meant we could hear everyone else’s conversations easily. Finally, finding parking was difficult. If you prioritize standard, decent Persian food above a comfortable dining experience and easy parking, this spot will work.

The Baseline: For a Persian restaurant the kebabs and stews must have the classic Persian flavors, the rice/hummus sides must be well prepared with taste, the ingredients must be fresh, and the dining experience must be enjoyable. Food: The lunch specials here are fantastic and feed you well. I got the Koobideh Platter and the beef skewer was delicious. The grilled tomato and onion really accompanied the meat. I opted for the green salad and lentil soup for starters which really kicked off the meal. I forgot to ask for the garlic sauce but I was told this is a must have next time. Service: We had a great waitress when we visited. She was friendly, efficient, and accommodating to a bunch of different orders. Great service. Water glasses always filled. Ambiance: Shamshiri looks lik

Shamshiri Grill delivers an outstanding experience. The Persian food was amazing, full of flavor and beautifully prepared, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The restaurant was packed, yet very well managed, with great energy and incredible aromas throughout the space. Everything flowed smoothly despite how busy it was. A wonderful experience overall, and we will absolutely be back. I highly recommend Shamshiri Grill.
