lamb shanks from heaven. so, i literally just finished eating at shandiz 30 minutes ago. the moment i got home, i felt like i needed to write a review for this place. the owner was such a wonderful and kind man. we asked him to bring us his specialties, and our table of nine was floored when the food hit the table. he brought is a giant plate of saffron rice that was cooked perfectly, then a gargantuan platter of beef kebab, lamb shanks, and chicken kebab. for my vegetarian friend, he brought out a bowl of gorme sabzi (a persian specialty of stewed greens and kidney beans). we feasted like kings. what really stood out was the lamb shanks, they were seasoned and cooked perfectly. the chicken kebab was also unbelievably perfect. it was also a pleasure to learn that all of the meat comes from the owner's butcher next door where he has a grocery store, and the majority of that meat comes from local farms. after what felt like an all star treatment, heservedus complimentary baklava and tea after our meal. i truly wish i lived in plano so i could eat at this restaurant regularly.
