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.

Been to many Persian food places around Canada, & the food here was one of the worst. The taste of the kabaab, rice, & even ice cream were horrible.
We ordered the torsh kabob & the torsh chicken. The meat used for the kabob was very low quality, & the marination was off. Same with the chicken, not tasty at all. Even the rice was not good, too much saffron.
At the end we ordered the sonnati icecream, which I regret.

It was my first experience at an Iranian restaurant. I loved the atmosphere & all the food. We ordered the Ash Reshteh, a filling lentil vermicelli soup, Joojeh & Zereshk Polo. The chicken was so juicy for both the main dishes! My favourite was the Zereshk Polo. The tomato sauce & the saffron rice with pomegranate on top were a perfect combination!
The Farsi songs & the decor of course added to the mood.
The service was prompt & the server was very polite & warm.

I ordered the Mahicheh Polo, & the lamb shank was cooked very well & tender. The rice & tahdig were great. Easily one of the best Iranian restaurants I have been to in Canada.

I recently had an amazing dining experience at an authentic Persian restaurant, & the food was absolutely unforgettable. The chicken kabob skewers were perfectly grilled - tender, juicy, & beautifully seasoned with traditional Iranian spices. Each bite was packed with smoky flavor & served with fragrant saffron rice that tasted fresh & delicious.

The eggplant dish was equally outstanding. It was rich, creamy, & full of deep roasted flavor, prepared in a truly authentic Persian style. The balance of spices & textures made it one of the best eggplant dishes I've ever had.

The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, the service was friendly, & the presentation of the food was elegant. If you enjoy halal Middle Eastern or Persian cuisine, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic halal Iranian food with incredible kabobs & flavorful traditional dishes!

Great comfort food! Chicken was tender, & saffron rice was creamy. Loved the combination. Maybe try with a side salad for a lighter option. Overall, a solid choice for a quick bite

ROYAL kebab was fit for royalty! Chicken & filet mignon were cooked to perfection, & marinade was spot on. Saffron rice was fluffy & complemented the kababs beautifully. Loved the combo! A great choice for a special treat, & presentation was impressive.

We had Sabzi, Shiraz salad, olive dip & Boorsni Bademjan. The signature lam dish Dizi we came for was not available although we came on a Friday night.
Shabzi was too acidic & rice had an aftertaste. Salad was too salty & vegetables were soggy as if they were marinated for too long. Bademjan was very plain & pita bread tasted as store bought. Olive dip was underwhelming. They had no Shirin rice, which is what we expected in a Persian restaurant.
The place was cold, there were cobwebs in the corner above our table, & the wall shelf by the table was full of dust. The washroom was terrible & dirty, & the entire place looked neglected.
We came because of so many good reviews, but our experience was disappointing.
