The Shahrzad this restaurant is named after is, of course, the famous "Scheherazade" of the Thousand and One Nights. Here she is dressed as in the classical paintings. There used to be another branch of this same restaurant further down Westwood Blvd., which is perhaps the reason for the plural in the English wording.
