Restaurant
Shamshiry is a beloved Persian grill that has long been a go-to for lovers of authentic Iranian cuisine in the DC metro area. Housed in a cozy, recently renovated space, the restaurant captures a family-style ambiance with its warm service and inviting décor. Generous portions of expertly grilled kabobs—ranging from koobideh and chicken to lamb shank—served with aromatic basmati rice create a hearty and memorable dining experience.
The menu extends beyond kabobs to include beautifully crafted rice dishes, such as saffron-infused purple rice with pistachios and orange peel, as well as bright salads, rich yogurt appetizers, and delicate Persian ice cream. Many diners recommend trying the specialty sweet-and-sour rice with cherries and pistachios, followed by saffron ice cream—a delightful way to end the meal.
Shamshiry is praised for offering both value and quality. It is often featured among the best casual dining spots for its authentic flavors, large portions, and consistent service. Even during busy times, guests return for the welcoming atmosphere and the rich, comforting taste of traditional Persian cooking.
