Silver Skewers - Lamb, steak, and shrimp combo - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

See all

I was shocked that Waldorf, a fairly depressing area, had a restaurant like this. Silver Skewers is warm and inviting, with an amazing owner who is so friendly. The menu is small and high focused, which is appreciated. We loved our dinner. We ordered chicken, lamb, and kubideh kabobs, which come with rice and vegetables. You are started off with bread and salad. Everything was great. I don't think I can choose a favorite kabob because they were all delicious. I really enjoyed the spicy green sauce and the generous use of sumac. The rice is excellent. We tried hard to finish our plate so we did not have room for dessert, but next time I return, my goal is to order dessert. read more

The lamb was super tender, juicy, cooked and seasoned perfectly, the salmon was a bit overcooked for my liking but it was very flavorful. read more

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!! read more

I ordered food Togo and it was delicious. I wish I had sat inside but I had somewhere to be. The Togo portions are a little small for the price in my opinion but it's delicious food. I enjoyed it thoroughly. read more

The food, the e service and the ambiance in the restaurant were perfect. We had a delightful time with chicken skewers, vegetables, fresh bread and sauces to dip in. It's a lovely restaurant and the staff members are wonderful. It was a great date night for my husband and me. read more

The salmon kebabs are amazing! It's something about being roasted over an open fire that adds so much depth of flavor! 10/10 would try again! read more

Excellent quality. A little high priced but, I you want home and delicious food it's very good.

I LOVE this place. I never had Persian food before coming here but I'm glad I have now. It was so delicious.

Would had given them a 5 but the servings were extremely petite. The food was high quality and the taste was amazing. The restaurant was immaculate. The staff was family-oriented and warmed the environs. I felt guilty because my 2 toddlers trashed the place. The silver-lining was the fact that my (always pregnant) wife prefers this spot over the one in VA that she'd always make me travel to. The price difference is worth what I'm saving in the commute. She doesn't always let me photograph the plates. The Lamb was cooked to perfection. read more

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. read more

We had heard many good things about this place and decided to try them out for the first time today. We were not disappointed! The salmon skewer was melt-in-your mouth fresh and perfectly seasoned. We'd definitely eat this again and would highly recommend it to anyone. The chicken skewer is delicious too! Perfectly seasoned and cooked perfectly, it was juicy and tender! I can say the same about the house skewer. Service was amazing and the ambiance was both surprising and delightful given that this business is in a strip center. read more

I was there last week and it was so bland to me , nothing special, I have been through a lot of Persian restaurants and it was just ok. The place was nice but as far as I remember they used to have good food , it was tastier then and I always praise them now I don't know if I go back. read more

What should I say... Zabardast!.... Awesome!... Amazingggg.... We start with ice tea fruit with mint.. it was so goooood... Kabab and Rice that you can die for... We were so full that we take our leftover dinner home and amazingly she give us extra rice for NO CHARGE for my leftover kababs.

This place is amazing. I love the food, the staff, the restaurant is quite and peaceful. The food is so full of flavor with every bite. My favorite food is middle eastern and this place makes me so happy to have it so close to my home. I eat at so many restaurants in the DC area and all over the world and Waldorf needs this and with such great quality. I love Dubai and other middle eastern and western countries nearby and to have such wonderful food right here in southern Maryland is a blessing. Never leave us please... I try to visit at least once a month if not more... read more

Love the friendly and personalized service. The food is delicious, both dine in or dine out. When I have time, I do prefer to dine in because of the quaint atmosphere. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Waldorf. Food is delicious and I love the two sisters that own it. They always say hello and check in which is very rare these days. Highly recommend the Persian ice tea and the green sauce which I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember the name. At one time I was buying jars of it from them. read more

Great food, great prices. Excited with this place. Delicious food, friendly and attentive stuff. Salmon cooked great, seasoned nicely. Rice and chicken didn't disappoint us either. And kabobs are a treasure. Worth a visit, food here is great. read more

Service was stellar. Bree was very sweet and attentive and took care of us. I left stars because of service Now the food, when we were ordering we were told the house kabab was all out (restaurant was open for like 30 mins and half empty) ok no problem we ordered another combo that was not listed because pretty much every combo came with the house kabab which was unavailable. Anyway, we get our food, and the portions are SMALL! 4 pieces of chicken, 5 pieces of TINY lamb, and literally 7 spoonfuls of rice (yes, I was petty and counted!) This is NOT the Persian way. Even the fancy Persian restaurants in DC have bigger portions for the same price point! I found the lack of rice highly offensive to my culture. Anyway, long story short, we get the bill, and instead of being charged for a combo price, they charged us for "pick any two combos," which is almost $8 more per plate. How is that ok when you didn't have what we wanted and forced us to pick any two?? Not ok! I wanted to like this place, but the nickle and diming of patrons left a bad taste in my mouth, plus which persian restaurant has such small potions?? I've never seen it this small before. Even the people next to us felt ripped off. I didn't complain because I don't think it was on Bree, and management should have better systems in place. I would drive to Vienna, VA, and pay the same amount (less even) and get delicious food and then some for leftovers. read more

Really started eating there in 2018. Food was great and consistent. Then came covid, changes in staff and inability to eat on premises for what became a ridiculous extended period of time while other restaurants were becoming back to normal they continued to operate like ft Dietrich. After reopening finally it was noticeable their food had changed and no longer was as fabulous as it had been in the past. Along with additional visits it became clear it was not getting better, but had now become inconsistent, food , drinks and more. While we still eat there from time to time it's definitely not our go to place anymore read more

Rice was amazing and chicken was nice and moist. Baklava was amazing and sweet and presentation was on point read more

Silver Skewers - Baklava - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

I typically order to go but this time I decided to eat in the dining room. My mother and I were asked what we would like to drink. We both said water with ice. We were brought bottles of water. I should have asked why but didn't. When I went to pay for the food, we were charged $8 for the 2 bottles of water. I inquired why and was told that they could not serve tap water - it was supposedly in the news about it. I wish they would have informed me in advance that there was a charge for water - $8!!!! They did offer to reimburse me this time. I declined and said I know better next time. Not sure if I will be back. read more

Wow. I'm in shock! $33 a combo 3 pieces of meat and you get Italian style bread and chick peas straight from a can. I've never been to Iran but is this how it's served there? read more

My wife and I wanted to try new food since we are still getting a feel for the area ourselves. One thing I can tell you is that we were welcomed into the restaurant as if we were family. As soon as I sat down I was amazed by the restaurant's aesthetic, cleanliness, and friendly staff. My waitress made sure my first time experience was a pleasant one with helping me decide on food I have never had before. The starting salad, bread, and tandoori sauces were fresh and delicious. The Persian tea was refreshing coming with fresh fruit and not too overtly sweet. The chicken and salmon kabobs were cooked to perfection and it is an instant favorite for me and my wife. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is seeking something new for their palate. PS: food was so good I forgot to take pictures. read more

You couldn't find a better place in Waldorf or Southern MD! The owner & chef is so friendly and the food is simply amazing. You would easily pass it as it is tucked in on 925. It is small but is very quiet and warm. Jazz music is playing which is very soothing. Now the food: OMG! everything I mean everything is absolutely fantastic. I don't usually like lamb as it is gamy to me but her lamb is outstanding. The ribeye is also fabulous. My favorite is the house kabob. Get the meet medium so it doesn't dry out. Shahla makes everything fresh every single day! My favorite place to eat and I usually go there a couple of times a month! read more

Silver Skewers is a phenomenal and exquisite restaurant! Honestly I do not know where to start when it comes to review long this restaurant. First off, I will compliment their conducive environment and ambience the owner has created. It is intimate, family friendly and definitely date friendly. Their staff is always so welcoming and friendly. Everything is on point and when I mean everything I mean everything. From their refreshing iced tea (mint) to their hearty and succulent House Special Kabobs. It is absolutely seasoned, skewered and grilled to sheer perfection. Thank you to their staff and their beautiful and divine owner Shallah (spelling). Can't wait to dine in again soon. ~ Allan read more

It was my first time ever eating at this gem in Waldorf. The food was great and I cannot praise this place enough.

I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion but especially for a celebratory type of dinner or a date night. read more

One of my favorite spots in Waldorf!! Small dining room but big stuff coming out of the kitchen. Highly recommend the House kebab ( kefta) The iced Persian tea is a must. The spicy option is the way to go even if ur afraid of heat. The house salad also delicious. I haven't had 1 thing here I didn't LOVE, and the team here are attentive and engaging. 5 stars all the way!! read more

Whoever answered the phone was extremely rude also... That's ridiculous and a huge rip off We use to order out from there a lot I can tell you that we will no longer be ordering from there .... Watch out!!! read more
