Love this place! I've been coming here for about 20 years. It is also my go-to place for my birthday. My favorite is the Bareh Kabob (super juicy and tender). The staff is super friendly and efficient.

My wife and I drive all the way from the city of Whittier just to eat here! Great food, great customer service! The owner is a nice guy too! We love it!

I tested the "TACHIN " which they have it on Tuesdays and I loved it ! Crispy rice and chicken was amazing ! Also the service was great . The waiter ( Ben I guess ) was very friendly !

Been going there since college days, brings back memories so much rice. I always order the Shamshiri Soltani

Great service and good food . Since it was our first time at a Persian restaurant Ben gave us good details on Persian food and we had a blast ! Definitely be back !! Thank you Shamshiri

This place was truly amazing!!!! The service, ambiance, food!! Everything was truly great!! It was my first time going there and they were super friendly, gave me a house tea and I know I'll be going back for more! Ordered food to go and they even carried everything to my vehicle. Thank you Shamshiri Persian Grill for the amazing service. As far as the food goes, I ordered chicken kabobs and koobideh, veggies and rice, hummus and salad (other things too). Their food was super delish!!! Fresh and highly recommended. Thank you once again for the amazing service and amazing food! The Owner was super nice and the best!!

One Of My Fav's Persian Restaurant. Order Bareh (Lamb) Kabob + Chicken Kabob & Shish Kabob + Chicken Kabob. Yum ! Yumm ! Yummy !

I have been coming to this place for over 12 years and it never disappoints. New owners took over but the food is still respectable. I always get the chicken barg plate and it's delicious. The prices are great, especially at lunch time. I love their hot tea with sugar cubes is sooo good. The service is amazing and the place is cute but needs to upgrade furniture. They have outdoor and indoor seating and plenty of parking in the lot or on the street.
