The food was sooooo good! The rice was nice a smooth and the chicken was super tender and cooked in flavour and it was probably the best Middle Eastern food I’ve ever had!

Barg kebab is not very good here. Either the meat was not fresh or the marinade was really bad. But the taste and texture and the color of the meat were subpar. Koobide was ok. Generally the portion size and quality don't match the price. Joojeh is a safer bet here.

Cute place but very overpriced for a small amount of food. Kebab wraps were dry and mostly bread: little filling and no sauce at all.

We had late lunch here, it was a beautiful meal, a small hut restaurant run by an iranian family for 40 years now. Very friendly host. We ordered pilaf rice with meat skewers and another dish with both meat and chicken. There homemade hot sauce and tamarind sauce was the best. Adding to what was the missing ingredient! Must come at least once or like my husband 3 times a week to remind him the barbecue meat of Arabia! Dishes were 17-18 cad each. But worth it.

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??
