Lamb shank was good, tender & tasty. It was not large but was only $20. Dill rice was decent. Salary: Chicken breast & kobideh were exceptonally moist & tender. Both were tasty especially the chicken. There was a decent char, which was better on the chicken. Rice was free (ie a huge portion). There was not much saffron rice (nowadays this is standard). It was fluffy but had no burnt bits. It was great value. Both were served with a small salad, which was good, with zesty dressing & fresh vegetables.

The soup that came with all the meals was good - even the kids loved it. The different kababs were all delicious, and you could tell that it was fresh.

I wish we had a Persian restaurant this good in Birmingham. Even better if it was in Trussville!

We dined at Simurgh on a Saturday night by accident. We hadn't made any reservations anywhere and…read moreevery place we tried was completely booked. We happened upon Simurgh and decided to give it a try. We were a little skeptical because there was only one other table at 7pm. There was also only one person working and she spoke very little English. It took her a bit of time to give us menus because she was bringing out food to another table and since there was nobody else working, it took some time to get menus. We debated walking out but are so glad we decided to stay. I actually pulled up google translate on my phone to communicate. It worked great! The food was EXCELLENT! We had beef, veal and chicken kabobs, crispy rice, some kind of yummy dip/appetizer and a cucumber and tomato salad. Oh, and a huge ice cream for dessert! Everything was delicious and tasted homemade. The service was very friendly and the restaurant was clean and pretty. We will definitely be back. Our server who is also the manager said they do a lot of take out and we saw a few people come in and pick up orders while we dined. If you like Persian food and can get past the language barrier you will love this restaurant!

I order lamb shank with rice(aka tachyon?) it took the whole 15 mins wait to cook. You see the rice is serve like a cake and not able to see the Lam shank.

Absolutely ridiculous…read more So this place is close to my place of work & the only persian place around to deliver , so we usually would order from here despite the ridiculously high pricing for very mediocre food in decent packaging. Theres an older woman who answers the phone when you call, she used to be somewhat friendly years ago. I called yesterday to order for delivery, they state no delivery today. Okay... Order for pickup. I told her my order. In the end , im like can u please tell me the total so we can give money to the guy picking it up? She, with a tremendous amount of attitude as if shes in disbelief goes 'NO?!!' Im like pardon me? Shes like huni, im VERY busy, you expect me to go all the way to the cash to tell u the price total?!? No. Its around 40-50. Thanks bye ..... first of all. Thats YOUR JOB. Im paying you/giving u business. So that nonesense was that . We sent this persian guy who looks white to pick up the food. He walked in earlier than expected , and asked if the foods ready.. this lady continues to give him shit for coming early . THEN PROCEEDS TO TALK SMACK ABOUT HIM IN FARSI IN FRONT OF HIM not knowing hes persian! Saying 'this guy thinks its his aunts store or something he wants to walk in and walk out right away ' & was caught im disbelief when he responded to her in farsi, saying my entire family orders from here and gives you business despite your stupid pricing for half decent food , & you want to treat me this way? Lol okay. You couldve simply said itll be another 5 minutes. Last time i asked them to put extra sauce on my salad , they sent me a BOTTLE of minoo dressing and charged me $4 for it... Get a grip .

It is a large place and the bread is baked on the premises. The bread alone makes this a 4 Star. In the morning it is tantalizing fresh, and has a great 'hot bread aroma'. When this is combined with the double cream bulgarian feta that they sell for less than about $ 6.00/lbs., and few olives you have the making of a great breakfast. On one of their promotions they gave away pergamot preserve. This is the fruit that is used to flavour Earl Grey Tea, and it is delicious. I have become a fan, and its great over plain yogurt or ice cream. An interesting and varied place with fantastic Persian Bread.
