The food was great—I really enjoyed the fresh cucumber salad and the flavorful meat. However, the desserts were a big disappointment. They tasted exactly like they came from a box, not freshly made. I think the restaurant should be upfront with customers about this.
Beautiful restaurant. Delicious food. Large enough to share,. Nice service. reasonable prices.

I ordered from Shiraz and was blown away by the quality, portion size, and flavor. Everything arrived hot, fresh, and neatly packaged. The koobideh was tender and juicy, the rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked, and the side of tahdig was still crispy even after delivery—which is rare!
You can tell they care about the food and the presentation, even for takeout. They didn’t skimp on anything—huge portions, delicious flavor, and everything tasted homemade. Easily two meals’ worth of food for the price of one.
If you’re craving Persian food and want something reliable, filling, and delicious, Shiraz should be your first choice. Definitely my new go-to for delivery.

Shiraz Restaurant in Simi Valley offers a classic and elegant Persian dining experience with beautifully decorated interiors and white tablecloth service. One recent visitor shared a positive experience centered around one of the staples of Persian cuisine—Koobideh Kabob.
The koobideh was exceptionally flavorful and juicy, grilled to perfection with that signature smoky aroma that Persian kabobs are known for. It was served over a generous bed of saffron basmati rice, with a grilled tomato on the side and a piece of warm lavash bread. The rice was fluffy, aromatic, and cooked just right, making it the perfect pairing for the seasoned beef kabob.
The restaurant itself has a welcoming and quiet ambiance, ideal for both casual meals and special gatherings. The staff were courteous and attentive, ensuring water was always refilled and checking in without being intrusive.
For anyone craving authentic Persian food—especially well-executed koobideh—Shiraz Restaurant is a reliable and satisfying choice in the area.

My wife and I have dined in at Shiraz Restaurant many times with both family and friends, and we’ve also catered family-style from them on several occasions. Every single time, Reza has gone above and beyond to treat us with kindness and exceptional service. The food is always fresh, high-quality, and incredibly flavorful.
Whenever we’ve catered from Shiraz, our guests consistently rave about how delicious everything is. From the Kabob Barg, Beef Koobideh, and Joojeh Kabob (Boneless Chicken) to the Tadig, White Fish, Fesenjoon, Noon Panir Sabzi, Mast-o-Moosir, and Mast-o-Khiar — every dish is made with care and authenticity.
We’ve ordered from many restaurants across California, and we’re so grateful to have Shiraz right here near us. Every catering order has been perfectly timed and ready for pick-up exactly when promised.
In a city like LA with endless dining options, if you’re looking for fresh food, top-tier quality, and outstanding service, I highly recommend Reza and Shiraz Restaurant. Thank you for always being so hospitable and consistently delivering excellence for me, my family, and our guests.

Good authentic cuisine. Food was fresh and portions were generous. Wanted to thank the manager, who went out of his way to explain the dishes and brought out some samples prior to us ordering. I am impartial to rice with sour cherries and was not disappointed with the $3 upgrade on plain rice. We will make this restaurant our regular stop from now on.

I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant for over 26 years, consistently spending over $100 per visit (not including the $10-$20 tip I always leave). I’ve always supported this establishment, but my experience with their new inexperienced “manager,” Reza, has completely ruined this place, for me and I'm sure for others as well. On Christmas Day, I politely asked if I could have some tadig with the $120 order I placed on just meat and rice, considering how much I’ve spent here over the years. Instead of treating me with respect, Reza was condescending and outright rude, making me feel as if I was "begging". Saying they always have a problem with me there. Who has a problem? Youre horrible treatment, or your ego? After all my loyalty, this is how they choose to treat me? It’s disgraceful and embarrassing.
I cannot believe this is how they allow someone like Reza to manage their front-of-house operations. If this is how they ridicule their most consistent customer, I can only imagine how they treat others who haven’t been as supportive. It’s truly shameful. As a Persian, I am embarrassed to share my heritage with someone like Reza.
While the food is good, the terrible service overshadows everything the hardworking chefs in the back strive to perfect. From now on, I’m taking my business to Sadaf, where I know I’ll be treated with the respect I deserve. Reza, you are a disgrace to hospitality, and this interaction speaks volumes about the poor management decisions of this establishment. What an unfortunate way to ruin what should have been a lovely holiday meal for someone who has been investing my time and money here for 26 years. How embarrassing for him.
Love it!
