The Specialty
Persian kebabs, rice dishes, and stews
# Shamshiri Restaurant
A mid Persian restaurant. Nothing that really stands out, but decent enough for Persian food if you're in the area. The classics are done competently but without anything memorable that makes you want to return specifically.
## What to Order
Chelo kabab — the classic Persian plate. Safe and reliable.
## Must Try
The lamb kabab with saffron rice — the most traditional order.
## The Verdict
Decent but not a destination. There are better Persian restaurants in Toronto. Fine for a casual meal if you're nearby and craving Persian food.
