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.

The food & atmosphere was perfect, I love its Koobideh, it was something you can just find in Iran! Prices were a little high & there were very slight problems in food which were negligible.

I have tried Iranian food almost in 6 big cities in Canada. I have a suggestion for your chef. In terms of some foods , you should work on your marination. Joojeh kebab needs more saffron, butter.. onion... to eliminate the smell of chicken. Koobideh is like the ones that we had in Iran with only 50% similarity. I invited my foreign friends there for dinner. I anticipated better taste ( anyway I emphasize that, Shiraz foods is close to Iranian foods but needs to work to get better). I really care about Iranian food which is a part of my culture. I don't give low star..just please consider our suggestions.

Exceptional Persian cuisine! The koobideh made with fresh meat was a highlight, & the appetizers were freshly prepared. Even my picky Persian mother-in-law endorsed everything, including the doough. Authentic flavors in a great environment!

Orderd chicken & rice & koobideh. Rice was very good & super delicious. Chicken leg wasn't trimed or cleaned, lots of fat, chicken butt was still there, & cavity wasn't emptied. Koobideh hmmm... it was too dry & edges were burnt. For that price i really was expecting at least an average koobideh.
