A review of this place: Comfort food from the Fertile Crescent
My friend Catherine is visiting from Albuquerque, housesitting in Glendale. She asked for restaurant recommendations. Here’s the text of the email about Shamshiri that I just sent her:
It’s in a little complex, the most visible establishment of which is a Japanese grill. At Shamshiri, order fesenjan (chicken in a ground walnut and pomegranate syrup sauce) or the grilled fish (either salmon or white fish). Or shish kebab or any of the kebabs, really. Also, the eggplant dip appetizer and paneer o’ sabzi. Also, either of the soups ash-e joe or ash-e must. Plan to just eat and eat and eat. You will not be able to suppress happiness. (And who would want to?)
Addendum: My absolute favorite L.A. area Persian restaurant is Javan in West L.A., but getting there by car takes about an hour. Shamshiri runs a close second and is only 10 minutes away, so, that’s where we go routinely.
