Overall it was a great experience and the food tasted great.

If you are looking for an authentic Persian culinary experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. From the moment you sit down, you are greeted with a traditional starter of freshly baked lavash naan, served alongside creamy feta cheese, crunchy walnuts, and vibrant sabzi (fresh herbs).

The restaurant is awesome. Great food. Such a warm atmosphere. They make bread themselves in ovens! Go here if you want traditional persian food to heal your soul. They have a shop outside as well.

Shalizaar was excellent. The food quality and taste were very good, and the service was attentive and warm. You can tell they take pride in how they serve their guests. Overall, a wonderful dining experience.

We tried the “Shalizar for Two” and it was absolutely amazing! I really liked that it came with four delicious skewers, allowing me to try a variety of meats and flavors in one order. Everything was cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and full of authentic Persian taste. The portion size was generous and the price very reasonable for the quality and quantity. The ambiance is cozy, the service is friendly, and the food reminds me of home-cooked Persian meals. I’ve tried many Persian restaurants around the Bay Area, but honestly, Shalizar stands out as one of the best. Highly recommended for anyone looking for flavorful, authentic Persian food and a great dining experience!
