What People Are Saying About Shah Abbas

In Short – From the outside you might not notice this corner strip mall spot, but step inside and the replicated grandeur of its namesake makes a decidedly different impression. Named after one of the best known kings of Persia, this brilliantly colored restaurant of palatial proportions is where local familes and neighborhood couples come for some serious Middle Eastern grubbing. Dishes include basics like various meat kebabs and stews as well as house specialties like zereshk polo, a chicken dish flavored with sweet-and-sour currant and saffron. –

Don't order ANY bottles of alcohol

by Shidana

So disappointing!!!

We called in on Thursday and found out that they have music, a belly dancer and food on Saturday night, which was offered for $35 per person. So, we made a reservation for 19 people. When we got inside, the tables were rearranged and we sat pretty tight together. We ordered drinks first which was on the table right away. When ordering the food it took 2 hours, and the kids (age 9-15) got hungry and were nagging. A few appetizers were brought and everybody (of course starving) was attacking the appetizer so we ordered another plate. (Btw, they only brought one appetizer plate for 19 ppl till we ordered another one) The waiter finally came back, after forever, and said the fish was already sold out and we had to order something else. Meanwhile, we were still waiting for the food, but at least we were enjoying the really good singer and drinks. We left the restaurant at 2am, BUT when we got the bill, we were SHOCKED!!! The appetizer was NOT included in the $35! The drinks were OVERCHARGED - they asked for one bottle "Johnny Walker Black Labe" $280 and a bottle of vodka "Grey Goose" was $180. That was a big rip off compared to other restaurants we have been to. Also, I have to admit the food was not the best. We're used to eating Persian food in Glendale, Westwood, etc, but I am absolutely NOT recommending Shah Abbas to anybody after this experience.

  • Pros: no pros
  • Cons: total rip-off

Know Before You Go:

Reservations are strongly recommended on Friday and Saturday nights--that's when the belly dancers twirl and shimmy and folks line up for a table.
