Our party had the koobideh and the barg. I can confidently say that the Koobideh is the best Koobideh I’ve ever had in the USA. It can benefit from teeny tiny bit more of onion and salt in the Koobideh mix. That said, I’d rather add the salt myself than have a salty kabob. I did not have the barg myself but according to my friends their barg is a strong 9/10. Their service was very attentive and fast. They brought bread, cheese, and herbs with walnut to the table. It was a greater starter. Walnuts were very fresh and they made the bread in place. We also had the tahdig appetizer with ghorme and gheyme. If you want recommendations for the appetizer definitely get this. However, I feel like gh...
This place used to be very good. It is very sad that it is no longer. I ordered to share two Persian stews. One of them was with chicken. Usually the chicken should be cooked as part of the stew. Apparently they cook the chicken separately, which is good. However, the taste of the chicken was very good. It tasted like it was at least a few days old and/or it was frozen and frozen when we ordered the food. Such a sad experience.
I have been here many times. I was a huge fan of this place and might have been given the. 5 stars, but on my recent visit I noticed the food quality has gone down. From the rice to the meats and in between. Even the grilled tomatoes we?re barely ripe. I still gave them 3 stars because the staff provided good service.
Authentic Persian restaurant, we had Kashk-e-bademjan, Fesenjan, mahi and tea. Food was mind blowing. The complimentary bread, cheese with herbs and walnuts was very fresh and awesome. Very good ambience and the service was great. Friendly restaurant. Will go again :

A really authentic Persian restaurant in the Bay Area! Have been here many times and their food has been consistently good. You can tell they use high quality of meat for the kabob! Also they have freshly made bread in house. Always a good experience to dine here ;
Wonderful Persian cuisine. We've been enjoying Shalizaar for years, and I later learned from an Iranian colleague that his is where he and all of his Iranian friends love to go to. He said it's very much a taste of home.
We went to Shalizaar for a nice lunch. They gave us an additional page that we did not order (no complaints! . The Koobideh was succulent and juicy, but the Tahdig was a bit stale and chewing and not what we expected.
Hadn't been there for about 15 years. The meat is tender and juicy!! And the rice is to die for. Best meal I've had in awhile.

Feels like restaurants back home. So true Iranian chelo kababi experience. Fair price for a great quality.
As always outstanding food and service. Highly recommend this place for the best kabobs in the Bay area
