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.

Had lunch here during Winter Carnaval 2024 in February 2024. Amazing Persian food in a sea of crappy burgers & fries. There were lots of other uninspired places along Grande Allee then we found Shiraz. A little hard to find on the lower level & pretty empty when we went in. We were seated promptly & given a chance to ask questions about the menu. Everything looked delicious, but we went with Lentil Soup & Mast-o Mousir (yogurt dip) to start. Both fantastic. Then for lunch we had a Joojeh Kebab (chicken) & Zereshk Polo (Rice, Barberries & Chicken). HUGE portions of saffron rice with each. Flavors were amazing. Both came with a nicely arranged salad of lettuce, cucumbers, & tomatoes with a light dressing. A perfect ending with hot tea & nabat (sugar & affron). We would have gone back 10 times but our trip was short, There is always next time. Thanks to our hostess/waitress. We hope to see you again.

I had an early dinner at this wonderful restaurant & was not disappointed. I got a soup & a kebab platter to share. The kebab + chicken was juicy & full of flavour. The complementary salad was fresh & delicious. The soup was very well done. I cannot wait to come again! Highly recommend to all kebab lovers. 🤗
