| - As someone who is very familiar with Persian kabobs, I've heard of Shishlix for a long time. However, I never tried it as my parents had a bad experience there since they found hair in their rice and told me their cook didn't wear hair net (which I'm not sure about and must be confirmed?). But since other people I know like their food I decided to give this place a shot. I went and got takeout Barg Kabob and I said I want salad instead of rice. First of all, the Barg Kabob is $16.99 before tax, however I was charged $18.99 before tax, and came to $21 after tax. So I asked to have salad substituted for rice and I was charged two dollars more?! Second, I asked for take-out , and I got zero cutlery, only butter (oh yeah butter for my salad huh??) and I got no napkins or spoon and fork. Details like this matter! Staff must pay attention. Always amazed how staff can forget the little things, and no they weren't busy at all! Lastly, I'm all cool with paying a little more to get great food, but don't charge your customers $21 for Barg Kabob if you simply CANNOT deliver on quality. For instance North Restaurant charges $18 for Kabob Barg and $19 for Kabob Torsh (Barg with pomegranate sauce) and it is 100% worth the cost because 1. The portion is much more, 2. The kabob is literally the best meat you'll ever taste, fresh, tender, and juicy. As with Shishlix, while they are a restaurant, their food is simply not at the level of North (Shomal) restaurant, thus it's ridiculous of them to be charging the same price. The Kabob Barg at Shishlix was dry, and tasted a little off. It definitely did not taste like a true Kabob Barg. If you're Iranian, you will understand this, and it was not tender at all! Looks like my parents were right. Next time I'm going to go to Shomal if I am going to pay $21 for Kabob, at least there I know they deliver on good quality food and service. My suggestion to Shishlix: reduce your prices!
