    Agree with Kavian--take out is best. Make sure to get the bone-in chicken, as it's better than the boneless. Don't forget to ask for tahdig!

    Food is real real good, big portions, very clean, can't go wrong with any types of kabobs. The dill rice and salmon kabob is delicious!

    Lookout Shamshiry, Alborz is the new hotspot Persian joint on the block and its sizzling. Definitely the best in the area and is Shamshiry's #1 competitor

    For some spice, try the chicken tandoori kabobs. Always cooked just right and served with a mountain of rice.

    Get a glass or a pitcher of doogh. It's a great yogurt drink to have with your meal.

    Make sure you grab a side of the yogurt with shallots. Goes great with basil and bread!! Nom nom

    The salmon kabob is outstanding. Comes with a huge mountain of rice though.

    Don't listen to Sum's tip. He's generally critical of every Persian restaurant because nobody likes his cooking. He's also bad at backgammon, but he loves tiddlywinks.

    It’s ok. Not the best but definitely not the worst either. It’s really old school for my taste. But the food is acceptable.
