About

A perennial favorite for Persian flavors, Shalizaar is friendly, charming and authentic. Lunchtime draws a large business crowd, while dinners cater to couples on dates. The upscale space features chandeliers, linen-topped tables, Persian carpets and walls of framed windows that flood everything with light.

Meals here are always a pleasure, thanks to the high quality of every ingredient. Try the signature koobideh, smoky ground beef and chicken kebabs served with char-broiled whole tomatoes and rice. Or, tuck into baghali polo, fork-tender lamb shank over bright green rice studded with dill and young fava beans. For dessert, order the zoolbia bamieh, sticky-crisp squiggles of fried cake soaked in rosewater syrup.

Our gorgeous banquet hall has a capacity of 180 people. The tall structure has a high ceiling and an awe-inspiring interior decoration to make  guests feel special. Everything from the decoration, seating, air conditioning and lighting to the service and the food, is of the highest order.Â
