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.

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....
