What Lilly Denesik likes about Shamshiry Cholo Kabob:
These restaurants are one of the best in DC, I am shocked by the quality of foods that are very similar to those that return home. Not only that, the service is AMAZING and the staff were very nice and the manager. The restaurant is very clean, similar to hotels, and you can smell the detergents in the restaurant and the toilets (sold well). I am confident to say his value on the hype, and I would definitely come bac... View all feedback. What Ines Thamm doesn't like about Shamshiry Cholo Kabob:
AC was broken, food was mid, the waiter was awesome (nothing to say about that) but apparently the tips dont go to the waiters, they go to the restaurant itself. AVOID AT ALL COST until they start paying their employees right!!!! they should be ashamed of that behaviour. View all feedback.

An excellent authentic Persian restaurant in Tysons that brings the best cuisine from Persia to us. Bijan has done a remarkable job.

Some of the waiters seem so unhappy. Some don't even talk or look at you. Maybe this place need to treat them better.

The best so far. As a Persian customer, I can say the taste of kabob is exactly the same as kabob in Iran. Don't miss this restaurant if you're around DC/MD.
