The kabab was good and the rice was quite aromatic and cooked nicely. Mastokhiar tasted old. Seemed to be from a few days ago.
Pricer than expected.

I don’t think I can get more authentic than this. The food was DELICIOUS! And the lady helping was fast and friendly. I’m not a Persian food connoisseur but maybe after coming here I should eat more often

Shiraz Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience! The food is beautifully presented, as shown in the picture, with vibrant and authentic Persian flavors. The tender lamb shank paired with fragrant dill rice is a standout, and the kebabs are grilled to perfection, accompanied by fluffy saffron-infused rice. The fresh side salad adds a delightful touch of freshness. The portion sizes are generous, and the ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for enjoying a hearty, delicious meal. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Persian cuisine!

I have tried more than 10 different Persian restaurants and all of them tasted amazing. The Shiraz combo here though tasted really bad both chicken and beef koobideh.

Wonderful owners, I kindly suggested that they need to rethink of the recipe entirely.

Lovey small restaurant. The food is amazing and the host owners are charming and delightful. Small, cozy and delicious.

This is not a good place to try Iranian food, as it bears no resemblance to authentic dishes and might discourage you from trying Iranian cuisine altogether. I took my foreign friend there to introduce her to Iranian food, but it left such a negative impression that she said she would never try it again. The drinks were expired, with no dates to verify their freshness. The prices are high, and for the same amount, you could dine at a more upscale restaurant by the waterfront. Overall, it’s a poor representation of Iranian cuisine.

What an amazing experience! A hole in the wall..3 tables and an old couple cooking up some tantalizing Persian dishes in the kitchen! Food is legit! Prices are affordable! Portions massive! Mrs Zara taking orders, cleaning serving, chatting is up, making sure we lack for nothing! Safran wafting through the back room...What more could one ask for??

Tiny little family-owned authentic Persian restaurant has 4 tables.
It's been here for almost 20 years. The food is delicious. My first time but not my last. GLAD I took a chance on something different. The owners are lovely.
