About

Restaurant Shiraz delivers an authentic exploration of Persian culinary traditions through a menu defined by aromatic spices and slow-cooked techniques. The kitchen focuses on charcoal-grilled kababs featuring tender saffron-marinated chicken and seasoned ground meats served alongside mounds of fluffy basmati rice. Diners encounter a selection of herb-heavy stews known as khoresh, which balance tart pomegranate molasses with earthy walnuts and fresh greens. The interior environment emphasizes traditional aesthetics with intricate textures and warm tones that reflect cultural heritage. Every dish relies on fundamental staples like dried limes, turmeric, and legumes to build deep layers of flavor within each recipe. This establishment provides a direct experience of regional cooking styles, showcasing the complexity of classic spice blends paired with freshly baked flatbreads served straight from the oven.

Came here with my daughter for a late dinner. She ordered the veal kebabs platter & I had the lentil soups. The service is a bit slow, foods tasted fresh & the kebabs were very tender & not gamy at all. Only less than 2 minutes walk from our hotel.

Positive experience! I'm a big lover of Parisian food as it's always fresh, delicious & made of good quality ingredients. This place wasn't disappointing : very friendly staff, were extremely careful about my daughter allergies. We were served with an Iranian hospitality. all 5 members of our family enjoyed the atmosphere & the dinner. Will definitely recommend the place to all my friends.
