    Teeny-tiny and in pure box form, Parseh Shiraz House is small but mighty. Its bold colors and…read morelingering scents are enough to remind passer-byers that they are open and ready to serve, and who am I to resist. Everything here seems to be of the "old family recipe" merit, and I'm fairly certain that this is actually a family run business. Food is rich, delicious and super spicy... not for everyone, but for everyone sometimes. I picked up a kashk-e-bademjan (eggplant puree with whey) to go, and the feast at home was superb. Not a bite left from this generous serving, this was a dish with its own flavor. I wouldn't suggest dining in at Parseh, just because its so small. A browse through the menu and pick-up is a great idea, as this is quality food and like nothing I've had before. Yum!

    "So I had lunch at Shiraz today." "Where?"…read more"Shiraz, the Persian place on Hollis." "...." If you've eaten here and told anyone about it, you've had some sort of variation on the above conversation, as I have several times now. Shiraz has been around for a while, and I've been meaning to try it. Finally one day I thought of it at work and a co-worker and I went there to pick up a quick lunch. Shiraz would count as a hole in the wall, if it wasn't also the wall. It's small, and painted a funky colour, yellow or green; I just remember my eyes being assaulted a little bit. We happened to have a menu at the office so we were able to go in there knowing what we wanted. At first glance, the first thing that strikes you is the prices - the first kebob plate listed is a hefty $18.99 for two kebobs and rice. Mind you, it is veal and lamb, but for the sake of avoiding sticker shock, they might want to re-design the menu to ease people into the pricey stuff. Being somewhat mindful of my budget, I settle on a dish that's more easy on the pocket but looks like it will be quite filling, the zereshk polo. Described as a chicken stew that comes with saffron basmati rice and barberries. After a short wait at one of the few tables inside the restaurant, we're sent on our way with our food to have back at the office. Interestingly, a quarter chicken is served on top of the rice, but what appears to be the actual stew is served separately in a bowl. The chicken is moist and has a good chicken flavour, but is oddly lacking much else. The stew has a hearty flavour of tomato and onion, although it's quite oily, whether from the chicken or added oil. In retrospect, I should have poured it over the chicken and rice, although my desk may not have been the best location for that, so this oversight may have been for the best. I haven't had saffron rice or much of anything flavoured with the most expensive spice in the world, and I must say I wasn't particularly impressed. The only way I could describe it is...musty. Yeah....not too flattering. Shiraz has some potential and I'd definitely give them another try, especially the samosas which seem to be quite popular with other posters, but as things stand now, it was just a little lacking.

    Darya's brunch buffet used to be one of the best dining deals in Halifax. It was a genuine standout…read morethat included a generous spread of high-quality Mediterranean dishes, all at a price point that made it feel like a treat without the guilt. We were regulars, and for good reason, sometimes going every week. ...but that's what makes the recent changes so disappointing. The buffet price has jumped from $35 to $42 per person (about a 20% increase) and yet somehow the offerings have gone in the opposite direction. The number of dishes on the buffet has been reduced, and most of the accompanying sauces have been quietly cut back or eliminated altogether. The toum, in particular, used to be a highlight (garlicky, creamy, and addictive) and its absence is genuinely felt. Now, two people are now easily spending $100+ for what is demonstrably less food than before. Since tax and tips are calculated as a percentage of overall spend, you end up paying quite a bit more per person than what you did a few months ago. The food that remains is still good. Darya's kitchen hasn't lost its touch, and the quality of the Mediterranean cooking is evident. And of course, the views are spectacular. But value is about the whole equation, and right now that equation doesn't balance. Paying more for less, especially when the "less" includes things you loved, is a hard sell. We probably won't be back again, at least for a long time . Here's hoping they reconsider and restore what made this special for everyone, locals as well as seasonal tourists, in the first place.
