Shamshiri - Northridge

This is one of the best Persian restaurants not only in Los Angeles, but in the USA. The food is exquisite, they have a good beer selection, the staff is friendly and very attentive, the atmosphere is casual, a great place for birthday parties and general family dinners. I recommend this restaurant.

We went to lunch and ate. It was pretty and comfortable because there weren't many people when we left. We had an open seat and a fast but thorough service. We enjoyed lunch specialties, which was a nice portion about half the size of dinner, perfect for lunch. All in all we had a great lunch during lunchtime and a nice lunch.

Get this place for the first time. We love Persian food. We were greeted by the owner (at least I believe he) who made us wonderful suggestions. I am vegetarian and he offered so many options, it was hard to choose. All that came was delicious, hot, authentic and looked as good as it tasted. I had the vegetarian Fesenjoon, up on Tahdig, vegetarian Tas Kebab and Adas Polo. Everything was so good. The service was impeccable. We will definitely go back.

The food was great. Large portions were served. All were nice and friendly. I gave him 4 stars, because at the end of our meal we asked for boxes. The waiter was not in good mood and did not notice that he gave me a dirty box with food and hair. I wanted to come back, but unfortunately this will be the last time I go there.

I had lunch on Saturday for first time. We weren't convinced because is old, the appearance inside doesn't look too clean, but I wanted to give it a try. By my surprise the service, Albert was very nice and friendly. The food delicious and big meal that we finished at dinner. I will be back soon!
