Welcome
A taste of Tehran in Tysons
Since opening its doors in 1993, Shamshiry has brought the authentic flavors of Tehran to Northern Virginia — charcoal-broiled kabobs, saffron-scented basmati rice, and time-honored Persian recipes served in generous portions.
Named for the legendary kabob house of the Tehran bazaar, we have been a quiet favorite of Washington food lovers for decades. Come hungry; leave a regular.
If one may have a loaf of the flower of wheat, a thigh of mutton, seated with a heart's darling in a ruined place — that is a pleasure that is not the attainment of any Sultan.Omar Khayyám
