8/19/2007 Restaurant Review at Shundeez

Intrigued by Persian food? Join your fellow ICON members for the Restaurant Review Series at Shundeez, an award-winning family-owned and operated restaurant. The menu includes lamb, chicken, and eggplant prepared so the meat falls off the bone, the sauce tastes almost of chocolate, and the pickiest child would eat his vegetables. Foodies will also enjoy the authentic Iranian dessert.

Come early and stroll the quaint cobblestone street and window-shop the storefront arcade.

Shundeez is a BYOB located at the end of the path between Barnes & Noble and the fountain at the top of Chestnut Hill. Hope to see you there!
