I ordered for pick up. I picked my order up, got home and received a call letting me know they forgot to give me half of my order. Instead of offering to throw in an extra appetizer or a drink or whatever, they told me they wouldn't compensate me at all and if i wanted them to deliver it it would be an hour before they would be at my house. The manager refused to recognize or take any measures to remedy the situation. The worst! I will never go back there. They made me feel terrible because they forgot the order!

Bottom line - go somewhere else. Who needs the grief. Dining is an experience of both food and service and Shamshiri cannot overcome the terrible service with their good (although very greasy) food. The only service oriented folks are the busboys. The waiters and the manager are indifferent and inattentive to bordering on rude. I want to enjoy my meal, not focus on why the food ordered is not the food delivered, why half of our party at our table are served their order and 15 minutes later the other half of our party are served, or why I cannot get the attention of a waiter. For many years, we ate at Shamshiri, although most of our Persian friends grimace at the thought of going here and instead recommend Flame down the street. Now the owner is not present and the site-manager is the wrong choice for a restaurant job. Basically, the service is awful and it makes the whole dining experience terrible ? when we were able to get the attention of our waitress, she asked us if we wanted to take home the food that we did not eat. When we explained that we did not order this food, she proceeded to give us the bill. When we asked to speak with the manager, he insisted that we pay nonetheless, because it was on our table. We paid, zero tip, thanked the busboys, and will not return. The attitude of ?bad-service is better than gracious-service? has achieved the result of loss of patronage. If you want an enemy to have an upset stomach, send them to Shamshiri.

one of the most aweful experiences i've ever had. the food was gross and didn't taste like authentic persian food at all! the service was just... tragic. i don't know what standards are being followed by the management, but no server should dress or smell like that. i brought a date there with me because she had never had persian food before and i was honestly embarrassed. i think we would have had a classier date at hooters.
