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.

We were glad to find this restaurant on our way back to our hotel from the Plains of Abraham. The restaurant had just opened for lunch when we arrived, so there was no difficulty in finding seats. The staff were friendly, & the food was delicious with generous portions. We had ordered the chicken kebab with rice & the salmon with rice. The dishes were flavorful & very satisfying. The only con is the long wait period for the food to arrive at the table after placing the order. I am talking about more than 45 minutes. From the other reviews, the wait seems to be the norm here. So, it's not an ideal choice when you are famished.

If Iranian cuisine is new to you, be sure to remember that having equal portions of rice & stew/kebab/fish on your spoon is the best approach to fully enjoy the taste of Iranian food 👌🏻.

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.

Great food! Wonderful staff! I have celiacs & was okay to eat almost everything... no pita, no chicken, or ash soup for those that are gluten intolerant. I had the lentil soup & the veal & filet mignon kebab.

This is the best Iranian restaurant in Québec. It gives a very authentically Iranian experience. Iranian cuisine in general is quite underrated. Definitely recommend, especially the appetizers. The mirza ghasemi is smoky & delicious, & I always get a Shirazi salad. Torshi Sir is also quite tasty with Kebab. I also recommend the tea, it is quite good. Elham & the owners are very nice too.

One of the best Iranian restaurants in Canada that we've tried! The food was very delicious, & the kebabs tasted just like what we had in Iran. The staff were also very friendly, & the prices were reasonable. I've been to this restaurant twice, & I would definitely go again next time we visit Quebec City.

If you are looking for something different, you have to visit here. It's not arab cuisine, nor mediterranean, neither lebanese, it's Iranian pure cuisine. You can taste new things here, specially best kebabs in Quebec City. The service & atmosphere is beyond perfect. 👌😋 Thank you to Maral & Iman, the most hospitable chefs ever. ☺️
