Persian Food in Glendale, CA – Flavor That Tells a Story
Taste the Essence of Persian Cuisine
Persian food is a rich tapestry of flavors, aromas, and colors, and at Shamshiri Persian Grill Glendale, we bring that experience to your table. Our menu showcases time-honored recipes prepared with premium saffron, fresh herbs, and high-quality meats. From slow-cooked stews to vibrant rice dishes and flame-grilled kabobs, every plate is a work of art rooted in tradition.
The Heart of Every Dish
Persian cuisine is all about balance—pairing sweet and tart, warm spices with fresh herbs, and tender meats with fragrant rice. Dishes like Zereshk Polo, with its jewel-like barberries, or creamy Kashk-e-Bademjan made from roasted eggplant, offer a depth of flavor that keeps you coming back. And of course, our koobideh kabob, made with seasoned ground beef, is a Glendale favorite for its smoky, savory perfection.
