| - Went here for dinner on a Friday night with friends, I only had Persian food once, and it was a home cooked meal, so I'm not an expert on Persian food. The experience at Sheherzade was a really pleasant one. Our waitress was helpful in explaining the dishes, as all of my friends - this was their first time trying Persian food. For appetizers we order a yogurt dish (Maast-e Saadeh) and a eggplant dish (Kal kabob) to go with flatbread. The yogurt was absolutely delicious, the flatbread came out warm and sprinkled with sesame - very good. The eggplant was a strange mix of flavours, salty while sour, and an aroma of spices that explodes in your mouth. It was ok to try, but it did not float my boat. Fortunately our entrees were up next, I ordered the lamp chop (Shishlik) , it was tender and flavourful, very good. The entree came with rice and a salad, the salad was ordinary, but the rice was just amazing! Trust me I eat my fair share of rice, and this rice was just on a another level. I also tried my friend's chicken and beef kabob dish (Kabob Bakhtiari), now that dish is a winner. Flavourful pieces of meat that were cooked just right. Overall the meal was good, waitress was really helpful with the explanations of the items. Would definitely go back and sample other dishes. Make sure you make reservations on the weekend they only have a few tables, we saw a lot of people who were turned away at the door. This place is definitely a hidden gem!
