Shahrzad - Rancho Cordova

However, I do have a couple of suggestions for improvement, though I don’t want to lower my rating. First, I believe the traditional Chelokabab should always be served with real butter and onions. It would be helpful if the staff could proactively ask if we would like those items, rather than waiting for the customer to request them. Secondly, the rice portions were smaller than what I've seen at other Iranian restaurants in Los Angeles or even in Canada, especially for the price of around $40. Overall, we had a great experience, but these areas could use some attention!

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was authentic and delicious, and the place was exceptionally clean. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. If you love Mediterranean cuisine or are just in the area, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. The decor is lovely, and the ambiance is family-oriented. Thank you, Mr. Ali, and the staff, for your warm hospitality!

I’m really glad I got to try the lamb; it’s tender and the sauce is delicious. The Persian music adds to the beautiful atmosphere.

This is by far the best restaurant in the area. Live music, delicious dishes (Lamb Shank is my favorite) and beautiful professional stuff made tonight unforgettable. AJ served us and I cannot express anything else as supreme gratitude for his service. Very recommended for occasions at least once a month family dinner.

Preface to the review: I had never had Persian food before trying this place! I am glad I decided to try something new, cause this place was excellent. My wife and I shared the meal for two special with the three meats of your choice. All of them were excellent and very tender. Definitely upgrade your rice to the one with pine nuts and pomegranates in it! Outside of the main course, the house salad that came with it was huge and had the most wonderful salad dressing on it. Ended up trying both flavors of their ice cream in single scoops and definitely preferred the saffron and pistachio. Will definitely be coming back here.
