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.

I recently visited this Persian restaurant & was impressed by its beautiful environment & the friendliness of the staff. The ambiance was inviting, & the service was warm & welcoming. However, I was disappointed with the quality & taste of the food. The koobideh had an unpleasant smell, the soup was completely tasteless, & the portions were much smaller than expected. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the standards of the otherwise lovely setting. I hope they improve these aspects because the potential is definitely there.

The Koobideh was fantastic. The chicken kabob was tender despite being breast meat! The miza Ghazemi was excellent.

I had an incredible dining experience at Perian Restaurant in Quebec City. The food was absolutely perfect, with the juicy koobideh standing out as the star of the meal. The flavors were rich & authentic, making every bite a delight. The atmosphere & service only added to the great experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy flavorful Persian cuisine in the heart of Quebec City! J'ai vécu une expérience culinaire incroyable au restaurant Perian à Québec. La nourriture était tout simplement parfaite, avec le koobideh juteux qui s'est démarqué comme la star du repas. Les saveurs étaient riches & authentiques, rendant chaque bouchée délicieuse. L'ambiance & le service ont ajouté à cette superbe expérience. Je recommande vivement cet endroit à tous ceux qui cherchent à savourer une cuisine perse pleine de saveurs au coeur de Québec !

La cuisine persane est l'une de mes préférées & je viens à cet endroit au moins une fois par mois. Vous devez essayer le Koobideh, vous allez l'adorer.

We had the ghormeh sabzi, kashk-e bademjoon, & koobideh; all were excellent. We loved the restaurant's decor, & the owners were very polite & friendly. We're glad they represent Persian cuisine so well in Quebec City.
