Andrew gives Shamshiri Grill 1 chew out of 5.
Heard this was good. WELL IT'S NOT. At least in my experience last night.
After asking our waiter for help due to the confusion caused by the menu, he took advantage of our fresh acquaintance with the restaurant by misleading us into ordering too many things for the amount of people we had. He tried to coax us into getting the most expensive dish on the menu (probably to inflate his tip), and when we told him we did not want it, he brought it anyway. After sending it back to the kitchen he brought us our Lamb Shwarma Platter. Receiving this dish made me happy because it was the first thing that happened right since we got our water; however, the platter consisted of bland, chewy lamb which looked like minced dog food accompanied by some grilled onion chunks. The Chicken Shamshiri was good, but could have fed a man looking to win a chicken and rice eating contest. The waiter then brought us the bill with 15% tip included. High expectations for such low quality performance, eh?
It was either his passive aggressive sarcasm or his true appreciation for constructive criticism that leaked out when he exclaimed, "thanks! hope to see you soon!" in response to me telling him I refused to pay the tip in full. I think it was the true appreciation for the criticism. NOT. Asshole.
