    Lamb and Filet Kabob

    My sisters and I have been going here for 10+ years and continue to stop in when we are in the area! The food is absolutely incredible every time we go!!

    Combo with Shrimp,Salmon,Chicken  mixed with fresh-fresh squash and zucchini !

    Listen it up, read up! Now based on my expertise and my recollection Charles County doesn't have too many spots where you can experience a legitimate 5* food rating. Therefore, If you're anywhere within an hour to Waldorf, MD I strongly advise you to drop-in or drop-past this spot. The food is simply top notch. It's literally a five star coming in and going out! I'm going to speak to the men for a second. If you're a husband, boyfriend, or guy who met his date through "Yelp"... haha please take a moment and think about that.??..lol.. Let me continue, and you want to impress your Wife or lady friend please dine-in at Silver Skewers. It's nice, quiet and intimate where you can sit and learn something new and intriguing about your significant other. The atmosphere sets the mood for romance and a lovely night afterwards. Now back to the food/entrees my wife and I selected on this visit. Our go to is the 3 Combo with Shrimp, Salmon, and Chicken extra spicy with grilled/seasoned vegetables -squash and zucchini and let's not forget the fresh-fresh rice that comes with sliced bread. Remember, I said drop-in or drop-past anywhere within an hour distance. I'm promise you'll be like me, you'll find one of those side parking lots to pull in and to go work with sampling before you even start the commute back home. Trust me, try out and you won't be disappointed. Oh by the way too, this is not "AI" either, i'm a real live husband!!

    Excellent, excellent and excellent!!!!!

    Amazing , I got scared when I got home and started eating The food made me travel , the meat and vegetables are a masterpiece, a piece of art . Very friendly and fast service .

    If you're looking for great Persian dishes with a touch of an elegance atmosphere then look no further because you've found it here in silver skewers. Nestled in a small strip mall in Waldorf this restaurant offers delicious tasting food that is rich in seasonings and topped off with a very spicy, but great tasting tandoori sauce. Our meals came with a complimentary salad and warm bread, the dressing was oil based and tasted great. For our meals I had the ribeye and house kabob while my wife had the chicken. The ribeye kabob was cooked to perfect, a nice medium rare, and the house tasted great. When topped with the tandoori sauce these two are rich in flavor. The meals however are saturated in oils, and butter, if you're not fond of rich tasting food, you may not like the amount they used because it's heavy. But, when you top it off with the tandoori sauce you'll get a rich tasting of sweet and savory just spicy. My wife had the chicken kabob which was also perfectly cooked. The rice, and veggies accompanying the meal were grilled and grilled well. Too often I've had over cooked veggies, but these still had some crunch to them meaning they were pulled off just at the right time. Lastly, and I didn't grab a picture we had the baklava, which I'd highly recommend it was fantastic.

    Wow! Pleasantly surprised how great this place was…read more Parking is a little tight & on a hill so be caution of that! Menu has a great selection of meats and kabobs to select from in addition to apps! I opt for the saffron chicken that pairs with saffron rice (can opt to have salad as well) and this was amazing!!! Chicken was extremely flavorful & juicy (for chicken breast especially!) the rice was fluffy & tasty (perhaps had some butter mixed in) I wish there was so sort of sauce to pair with this meal but still amazing. Service was friendly and nice - there indoor seating but the dining space a little limited. Recommend coming before dinner rush bc this place is packed!

They were super busy when we arrived so it took about 10 minutes to check on us but were very apologetic. All good. The setting is very casual so not a romantic first date setting, but the food is delicious so if you want to impress via taste buds, then give it a try. Everything looked so good so we all tried different dishes for a wider experience. For starters we had tahdig, which I think is a must-try. I've wanted to try tahdig for awhile now and this hit my spot. For my meal, I had the pesto chicken kabobs, upgraded with shirin sweet polo rice, which was amazing on its own. One of my kids had the kadoo, which was also delicious. My wife had the bademjan, another winner. Also tried were the fesenjan, among other dishes. Again, everything was great.

All three of the dips were a generous portion and the bread accompanying them is delicious. The bread was refilled 3 times during the meal. Very, very good. Each of the dips was different and very tasty. The Hummus was smooth and flavorful and the Spinach (served warm) had a garlic flavor. I took a lot of the dips home - the bread was so delicious, I filled up quickly. My friend thought the salad (Salad Alamut) was ok, but the soup (tomato based) was very good. We each had a decaf cappuccino, which were also very good. The service was outstanding. The bread basket was refilled several times and our water glasses were tended to very well. The place was not crowded and we had a leisurely lunch that lasted almost 3 hours. There was no impatience to present us with the bill, and, after we paid, we were still offered refills on water as we lingered for a few more minutes. Excellent service! We felt very welcomed here. The restaurant has a traditional Persian restaurant appearance. It's nice and light, a bit fancy in appearance, but not stuffy.

We…read morewere able to add ourselves on the OpenTable waitlist and receive alerts if a table opened up. Luckily we were able to get a table outside at 6PM on a Friday night for four people. The tawle tasting menu is about $100 per person and it was a great way to try the menu. We were able to pick from a list of spreads, vegetables and meats and at the end we were also able to choose two desserts based on our party size. You start with Mouneh - pickled vegetables, Honey Soaked Dates, and the most delicious Halloumi. You then select 3 spreads - Muhammara, Walnut Casik, and Beet Borani with warm pita bread. For entree we ordered Chicken Shish Taouk, Ribeye, and cauliflower. They had a nice cocktail list so we tried a few cocktails. The espresso martini includes gelato, and there was a green cocktail that was very refreshing. The service was really good. Please be aware that they do add a fee on the bill and guests may not notice this and may tip an additional amount which we did, but the service was outstanding. We were able to walk inside and see the open fire grill where they make the pitas on and go to the bathroom. We really enjoyed sitting in the alley on a nice evening.

    A popular spot near Adams Morgan. The restaurant features Middle Eastern grilled food. In fact,…read morethere were several fire grills in the center of the first floor of the restaurant (it has two floors), and you can see the staff constantly grilling the meats, fish, vegetables and pita. This, together with the dark vibe, made me feel as if I were eating with ppl. from B.C. in a cave. Very interesting. I like that. For food, I got the Carrot Havuc, Omani Shrimp and Halloumi. But first I was served with some freshly made whole wheat pita. They were soft, chewy and earthy. The Carrot Havuc was basically a carrot+garlic puree. Very silky, refreshingly sweet, and a bit sour. The sourness may come from the garlic and lemon. Paired well with the pita and meats. The Omani shrimp came with 5 pieces, each shrimp was ~1oz so it was not very filling. The shrimp were meaty, fresh, juicy, though I wish it could be less salty, even if I already asked for less salt. The shrimp was said to be marinated with dried lime and tamarind but I could only taste the flavor of dried lime. The Halloumi cheese was brushed wild flower honey and topped with Egyptian dukkah, then baked until the outside was golden brown. It was salty and sweet, and the (tons of) sesame seeds added some fragrance to it. However, the peanut was too roughly chopped so that they fell off from the cheese when I slice it, and thus difficult to eat with the cheese. Service was not worth the 20% mandatory tip. For example, when I asked about the sourness of the Carrot Havuc, he did not know why and said he would "taste it and let me know where the sourness came from". Unfortunately, he did not tell me until I asked again when doing the check (I doubt if he tasted it in the first place). Neither did he ask me about the other dishes. Overall, the dishes were great but not impressive, and was mostly heavily flavored. The service could be improved.
