Silver Skewers is another one of those hidden gems in Southern Maryland. This Greek/Mediterranean restaurant offers an incredibly fresh menu. I've had the good fortune of dining here on a handful of occasions, and each time I've been delighted by my selection. The freshness is unmatched. The flavors are unrivaled. They even offer their own version of Persian tea... SO DAMN REFRESHING!!! The dining experience is clean and cozy. I won't be long-winded here. Honestly, if a place is truly great, the review should be short and sweet. I also had the opportunity to meet the owner and the co-manager (her daughter). They are both incredibly hospitable, kind, and welcoming. Take a look at these photos, manage your hunger pains, then make your way there, and tell them Grant sent you. Recommendation Level: By all means, go enjoy a great meal. read more

The restaurant is not located in a place we go often but very easy parking. The server (and maybe cook?) was absolutely fantastic. The tables have white tablecloths and very nice dining chairs except the chairs do not have much padding. The napkins are paper towels. The FOOD is absolutely delicious. The rice is great and the meat is very flavorful. With that said, the prices on their menu are higher than what I had seen initially online so it does seem like prices have gone up quite a bit recently. For a dinner for 2 getting the house kabob (least expensive option but genuinely very good) and 2 teas, the total with tax was $55 + tip. read more

We had not been to Silver Skewers for probably 10 years just because we had numerous other places that are closer to us. However, we are glad that we went because the food was as good as we remember!! Everything was was fresh, tasty and well prepared even though we went at 2PM. The salmon was a little overcooked (dry), the lamb was perfectly prepared and the chicken was just slightly overcooked. The grilled vegetables were excellent but we thought the serving size was a little small. The rice was excellent and plentiful and their tperian iced tea is superb. The server, Martin , was excellent and attentive. Like the ambiance, the place looks the same as it did when we used to go many years ago but it still looks fresh and clean. The biggest disappointment was the substantial increase in their prices. The numbers discussed on google and Yelp are the significantly outdated. (today Chicken was $25, salmon and lamb were 35$ read more

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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
