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.

If Iranian cuisine is new to you, be sure to remember that having equal portions of rice & stew/kebab/fish on your spoon is the best approach to fully enjoy the taste of Iranian food 👌🏻.

Great food & friendly professional service. We had three appetizers, including tzatziki & eggplant dishes & an oatmeal carrot potato chicken soup that could have been a meal. We split the chicken skewers meal, & the chicken was tender, moist & tasty. Prices were all reasonable & the bill was lower than what we expected.

If you are Iranian or you had Persian food before, this restaurant will disappoint you. Very average food but pricy. Don't recommend it.

We came for a late lunch. The staff was very friendly & the food was delicious & was served pretty quickly. The Ghormeh Sabzi was a favorite. Love the way the rice that comes with the entree has tadig.

Food was finger licking good. 10out of 10. A must try place when you visit Quebec City. One more thing i would like to add is their professionalism. We forgot our kids bag over there. Next day they opened the restaurant just to return it to us. I was truly thankful to them. Overall we had a really amazing experience .

I had never had Persian food before, & this was a delightful introduction. Everything was busting with subtle & complex flavors. The server was friendly & knowledgeable, & helped us pick out some good options. They had vegetarian options for my husband, & the lamb I had was tender & flavorful. If you can, save room for dessert! Get a cup of Persian tea (it comes with saffron rock candy) & the rice flour dessert....so decadent!

Wow - favorite food in Quebec so far! Forget the touristy areas, this is where to find flavor. Don't forget the rice-flour & saffron dessert, & the dessert tea.
