Shamshiri Restaurant

My friend took me here. I live right around the corner and never knew it was even here. The number one was delicious. I honestly forgot the name of it, but it is a ground beef kabob. The meat was seasoned to perfection. We also ordered some yogurt dip. It had a dill taste to it and was great to dip the beef in.

MAJOR DISCLAIMER: THIS RESTAURANT IS NOT OPEN UNTIL 9PM. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO WALK IN PAST 8:15 PM — YOU WILL NOT BE SERVED & BE VERY DISAPPOINTED. We attempted to dine in after a movie at 8:31. They did not allow us to sit down. The manager claimed that they stop taking dine in orders at 8:15pm. Not only will this restaurant never get a dime from me — they are not understanding a major fundamental of the restaurant business — communication. This information should be noted on their Google or Yelp. How do potential diners know of this obnoxious policy? I sincerely hope my reviews help someone else from making this huge mistake. Please go to Raffis Place which is down the street and actually sticks to their hours.

The food is really GOOD! I can say confidently that their koubideh was the best koubideh I have ever had in the USA. It was juicy, fully cooked but not burnt! Their Ash reshte was very delicious too. I gave them 4 stars because of below reasons: 1) The service was very poor. We went it, and didn't have any clue where should sit or whether we have to order first. The waiters and cashiers were just looking at us without any guidance. 2) The music was too loud that was annoying a little bit. Overall, It was a good experience and I would go back if I am around.

I was not happy with my visit. The waiter did not want to answer questions I had about the menu. At one point he said do you have anymore questions rudely. Part of my chicken kabob seem like the chicken had been sitting for a long time and was very dry. I would also say items are overpriced. I also seen a cockroach on the wall.
