My best friend and I visited Shalizaar for lunch on March 28, 2026. We were pleasantly surprised to be served sabzi as soon as we were seated—a fresh mix of mint, goat cheese, and walnuts, paired with warm lavash bread. I ordered the ghormeh sabzi, one of my favorite dishes. The makhlout, featuring both bastani and faloodeh, was wonderfully refreshing, icy, and delicious. The ambiance was beautiful. While our server was occasionally slow to attend us, the wait staff remained attentive throughout our visit.

Both the food and service at this place was fantastic. We went on a Friday evening and we were sat within the first five minutes. The servers immediately bought some amazing tasting breads cheese and salad to the table. We were warmly greeted our orders were taken on time and were delivered within the next 10 minutes.The server kept checking on us refilling our water and bringing us whatever we wanted. Overall it was a great experience and the food tasted great.

If you are looking for an authentic Persian culinary experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. From the moment you sit down, you are greeted with a traditional starter of freshly baked lavash naan, served alongside creamy feta cheese, crunchy walnuts, and vibrant sabzi (fresh herbs). It’s the perfect way to awaken your palate.
​The highlights of the meal, however, are the main courses:
​The Tahdig: It is perfectly crispy and golden. What sets it apart is the option to top it with their savory stews, making every bite a rich explosion of texture and flavor.
​The Grills: The Lamb Kabab is incredibly tender, and the Koobideh is seasoned to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and charred just right.
​Baghali Polo with Lamb Shank: The lamb shank literally falls off the bone, and the Baghali Polo (fava bean and dill rice) is aromatic and perfectly fluffy.
​To wash it all down, their Dough (yogurt drink) is refreshing and acts as the perfect traditional accompaniment to the savory meats.
Finally, make sure to save room for dessert. Ending the night with a warm glass of tea paired with their flaky Baklava or the sweet, syrupy Zoolbia Bamieh is the only way to go. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine Persian flavors!
