FOOD	28	The food at Shamshiri is delicious. Classic Persian dishes are cooked to perfection. There's a wide variety of dishes, from stews to kabob to soups and appetizers. The food blends classic Iranian dishes with other Mediterranean styles to create delectable blends that will leave your mouth watering. Though the food is not always perfect, it's overall pretty tasty.
DÉCOR	25	There really isn't much decoration. It's nice that you can see the grill and can also basically see part of the kitchen, but everything else is just very plain and wooden. The tablecloths are white and although it is a classy place, I wouldn't go there for the decoration.
SERVICE	27	The people are generally nice, often coming by to fill your water and speaking both English and Farsi. The overall feeling is very hospitable and friendly, and there are normally no complaints, although there are always obviously some servers that are better than others.
COST	27	The price isn't bad, their lunch specials are good and you get a nicely sized, pretty large, portion if you're ordering an entree. Actually, even their appetizers and such are large. For the amount of food and quality, the price is really not bad and you could leave without feeling a huge dent in your pocket.
