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.

Shiraz is hands down the best Persian restaurant in Quebec! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality & the rich aroma of grilled meats & saffron-infused rice. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, perfect for both casual dining & special occasions. Their special plate is an absolute must-try! It comes with one juicy Jujeh (chicken kabob), two perfectly seasoned Koobideh (ground beef kabobs), & a tender, flavorful Barg (filet mignon kabob)-all grilled to perfection. Served with fragrant saffron rice, grilled tomatoes, & fresh herbs, every bite is packed with authentic Persian flavors. The portion size is generous, making it perfect for sharing or indulging solo if you're really hungry! The service is top-notch, & the staff genuinely care about providing a great dining experience. Whether you're a fan of Persian food or trying it for the first time, Shiraz is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back for more! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 Persian dishes on the menu are decent, but the new fast food additions leave much to be desired. The steak pizza was terrible, & the hot dog sandwich was merely passable.

Amazing Persian Culinary Experience! I recently dined at Shiraz restaurant & it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm & inviting, with a beautiful touch of Persian decor that immediately set the mood for an authentic meal. The staff was friendly & happy to provide recommendations, which made us feel very welcome. The food was the true highlight, bursting with flavor & presented beautifully. We started with an assortment of appetizers, kashk-e bademjan (a delicious eggplant dip) that melted in the mouth. For our main course, we Dizzi a traditional Iranian meal that was phenomenal. The meat was perfectly seasoned & tender, & the stew was rich & incredibly satisfying. The portions were generous, making it great value for the quality & taste. If you're looking to explore Persian cuisine or simply want a comforting, flavorful meal, I highly recommend Shiraz restaurant . We'll definitely be back!
