"Shirin in Woodland Hills, one of the longest-standing Persian restaurants in the Valley, modernizes classic dishes with Mediterranean touches served in a contemporary dining room. Start with an order of housemade flatbread served with borani (fried eggplant dip) or olvieh (creamy chicken and potato salad with pickles) before moving on to lamb chops served with a broiled tomato and saffron basmati rice. Complete the meal with faloodeh, a cold and refreshing dessert of frozen vermicelli noodles and rose water topped with a drizzle of cherry syrup and lemon." - Melody Barooni

Definitely one of the best Persian restaurants I have been to. The staff are so attentive as soon as we came in. They bring out the warm bread and appetizers right away no delay. All the meat here is so juicy and soft. Luis (our waiter) was on point with everything in our order. He was very attentive, friendly, and efficient even during a busy day. The best waiter I have come across. Would come here again without hesitation.

The customer service is so efficient and kind. The gentleman who was taking care of my table was so nice. He made sure we had everything we needed and also made sure everything was perfect. The food portions are quite filling and large. Also they gave us bread, onion and butter. A bonus is they have Mexican Fanta, so amazing! The meat was so tasteful and filling. The shrazi salad was a perfect amount of freshness for such a hot day.

My wife wanted this particular place craving Persian middle eastern food so she brought the whole family. Traditional flavors with traditional environment makes this an authentic experience. Food was fresh and tasty and lived up to the grey reputation Persian food has to offer. Finished off with a tea and was an over all lovely experience. Thank you!

Very relaxed experience and Luis was really nice and attentive… I love their fresh bread.. the best in LA Persian restaurants that I have tried… The food quality was also great.. Koobideh vas very tasty. The only comment I have for the chef/owner would be that the marination of their meat (lamb/beef chunks) was not authentic persian kabab marination and had some unknown flavors (to the mainstream persian taste).

Ohhhhh my, the lamb is to die for. Had the trout dish , as well, - magnificent ! Dresh Polo rice with cranberries is delightful. The service and atmosphere is top notch. They serve fresh onions and mint with the pita bread as a starter before one orders. It's great to add the onions and mint to the entree. The variety of tastes is wonderfully unique.

Shirin Restaurant is by far one of the very best Persian/Mediterranean food I have had the pleasure of tasting. The service was perfect. The server came by several times to make sure everything was to our liking. The lentil soup had wonderful flavors that I have not experienced prior. The meat was tender and perfectly prepared. All of our meals were 110 percent. The portions as well are very generous. Parking is a breeze.

The food here is really great! A perfect starter is the gormeh sabzi/gahmeh tahdig and is a absolute must! We also go a beef saltani and a boneless chicken which were so packed with flavor and very juicy! Our server, luis, was very kind, observant, and accommodating. He greeted us with a big smile, constant refills, and very fast service. The place is very clean and the live music is a very fun touch! Will absolutely be coming back again soon!

Happy Nowruz!! Brought in the new year with a DELICIOUS meal from Shirin Restaurant. I had the vegan tofu kabob (4 pieces) and rice which was all soooo yum and is totally enough for 2 meals! The grilled veggies it comes with omg I haven't stopped dreaming about that flavor. I wish I was dressed to dine in because when we went in for our pick up they had live Persian music!! Such a fun vibe. There's a free parking lot too! It did take an extra 30 minutes after our scheduled pick up time for the order to be ready but I just assume that's because it was Nowruz. It was busy. I really really LOVED my meal and can't wait to go back.

Raquel C.

Yelp
The food was amazing as well as Emilio's attention at our dining experience. Kabobs were delicious as well as the hummus. The most authentic kabobs I've had in the SF Valley.

I recently dined at this wonderful Persian restaurant and had an amazing experience. Parnaz, our host/server, was exceptional. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food quality was outstanding, with rich flavors and beautifully presented dishes. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Persian cuisine and top-notch service.

Amazing experience at Shirin today. Came in for lunch and everything from the appetizer (Tahdig & Yogurt Shallot) to the main dish (Combination Of Beef Soltani & Combination Of Chicken Soltani) was absolutely delicious. Definitely worth a try if you love Persian food or even trying it for the first time. Additionally our waiter Arash was fantastic, checked several times to make sure we were happy with everything. Overall very pleasant experience.

I just ordered a mix of things from this restaurant and everything was horrible. How is this possible? The koobide was gummy, tough and flavorless and the white rice was undercooked . If you can't get Koobideh and white rice right at a Persian restaurant, I don't know what you're doing. The tahdig was so thick, stale and tough to chew. The lentils in the gheyme stew were undercooked. The ghormesabzi is somehow bitter and flavorless at the same time. The best part is the $2.99 side of masto moosir which is the size of a side of ranch. I'll leave a photo.

Great place for Mediterranean craving place. Food was delicious and distance portions and price wise it was ok if you are not so picky. The service was good . The good part is that they have catering.

Needed something for lunch and decided to order delivery from here. Since I know Persian food tends to be family style I ordered the lunch special of the eggplant stew. Well I was shocked when I received my food. It was a very generous portion of food. A container of stew, a big square container of rice that would normally hold 1 meal on its own, a small container of soup, bread, and of course the accoutrements like onion, sumac, and butter. I made 4 meals out of this lunch special. The good: the stew and rice were phenomenal. The stew was surprisingly tangy but I enjoy that and the rice was so fluffy and buttery. The meh: the soup I got was bland. It was some kind of mixed bean/lentils soup. The bread was a bit crispy for my taste but it worked well with the stew. I can't speak for the service or ambiance of the place just yet, but I'm willing to go in person next time maybe for dinner with friends cause again the portions are big!

We had a feast of super fresh and yummy food yesterday! It was an event at school where Shirin Restaurant catered the food. I love their hummus and borani. The beef and chicken kabobs are to die for. So tasty and tender! And the salads are amazzzzzzzzzing! I promised my husband I will bring him to their restaurant. He's very fond of Mediterranean food and I know for sure he will love everything this place has to offer.
