First off, it was a Friday night so it was very busy - we were walk-ins and we had to wait 30-45 minutes. They have a place in the back outside with benches so that was thoughtful. The atmosphere inside was warm and friendly. The service and staff was efficient. Our waiter was Marco who was very friendly and visited us often to see if we were enjoying ourselves. The food we ordered was the Shish Kabob made with chunks of tender filet mignon, Rack of Lamb, and Salmon entree. They were kind enough to combine and make it family style for us. The meats were tender and the Salmon was flaky and moist - so delicious that we ordered another round of them LOL! Will definitely be back! By the way, there's public parking on Artsakh Ave - 90 minutes free and cheap hourly after.

I…read moreordered the Chicken Koobideh, and let me tell you as an American who absolutely loves Persian food, I have to say this was by far the most amazing and delicious chicken koobideh I've ever had. It was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and so tender it practically melted in my mouth. Everything about the experience was just fantastic, from the warm, friendly service to the cozy atmosphere. You can tell they put real care and love into every dish they make. From now on, I know exactly where I'm going whenever I'm craving Persian food. Shamshiri has definitely won me over!

We were seated right away and ordered the chicken kabob, beef koobideh, and ghormeh sabzi. The beef koobideh ended up being my favorite, although the chicken kabob was just as delicious. And the bread... wow. Honestly some of the tastiest bread I've ever had from any kabob spot. We took some leftovers to go, and the smell of that bread lingering in my car was absolutely delightful. Definitely a great experience!

The barg and koobideh were flavorful, the bread was freshly made, and the saffron rice was light and fragrant.

Great food, fair prices, and solid service... can't ask for much more than that.

Made reservations, but according to the host, the reservation cancels after 15 minutes of not showing. Place was not full at all. Got the Veggie Sampler for Two for $15, Carousel Combo for $25, and Sarma for $10. For the Carousel Combo we got the Lula or ground beef Kebab and Lamb Shish Kebab for $4 more and substituted the cabbage salad to Lentil Soup for $2. We also got the bulgur instead of rice, fried, or fire roasted vegetables. The food was all amazing. The Sarma was on the sour side, but good. Would come back.

I finally tried Mini Kabob and it was all that and more…read more I ordered the chicken and beef plate with rice and hummus (yes to the hummus), and the chicken was incredibly well-seasoned and juicy -- so good. Only note for next time: I'll ask for it a little more well-done (just personal preference... I like my chicken with a little extra bite ). The eggplant caviar was solid and a generous portion, but the real standout? The Caesar wrap. It completely lived up to the hype -- bold, flavorful, and honestly addictive. I almost ordered a second one to take home. Also worth mentioning: the son of the owner who took my order was super friendly and had great customer service, even with a long line. He kept things moving while still being engaging, which I appreciated. I was excited to hear they're opening a Studio City location -- I'll definitely be back. This place is a must. Get the Caesar wrap.

Since it was my first time here I asked the person working at the front ( you have to order up front where they then give you a number) some questions regarding the menu. They were supper attentive and friendly. After I ordered I sat outside to people watch which was honestly really nice. Reminded me of Paris. My food came promptly thus after. The Tumeric braised chicken is amaaazzzinggg the chicken is so juicy and falls off the bone. The rice has some sort of crunchiness to it that compliments the entire flavor profile of the dish. The eggplant dip reminded me of the one my grandmother makes, dipped with the chicken made my meal feel really nostalgic. I've been back four times since and never regret it. One of those meals that just makes you feel really good after!

I found this Kabab place which I wanted a non chain restaurant and when we got there, it was perfect. A small family owned restaurant and I would bet that he was the owner. I knew exactly what I wanted and went with the Combo plate of Beef Shish Kabab and Beef Luleh with basmati rice and the Pork Kabab which are actually pork ribs. Really good flavor and pretty tender. I don't find pork dishes to often at Kabab places. It's the main reason I wanted to try this place. The older gentleman was great. He took our order, prepared and cooked our order, and served our order. We ordered the Irka which is an eggplant dip, and he gave us complimentary cucumber yogurt and potato salad. Every dide was delicious and went well with our entrees.

I had the luleh kabob and it was good but I think I'm a bigger fan of panini kabob. The bread was standard fare as well as the sides. If ever in the area again, I will likely check out the other spots recommended by locals. This place is more of a 3.5 spot but rounding up for service. The smokers outside kind of ruined a nice meal we were having inside because the door was open. That was not cool but whatever
