The Jumbo Combination has 7 chicken/beef/lamb options which makes this perfect for sharing and getting a good variety. I love that you can get Assorted Rice which I would highly recommend. Their Afghan Rice and Zereshk Polo are both so pillowy, fragrant, and delicious. Their appetizers are usually disappointing but they make up for it with the kebabs!

We got an appetizer platter which was fantastic but very pricey, if I'm remembering right it was $36ish and just because of the price I would not order it again. We also ordered the obligatory kebabs and cherry rice. Of course we loved them. For the first time ever we tried some desserts. I just ordered the oddest sounding thing. Falooda. Now I'm dreaming of eating it again! Rose/Lemon ice with little noodles! There was also some tart cherries in juice on the side and a lemon wedge. The waitress was so nice, she had to explain how to eat it. Just dump the cherries on top of the ice & noodles and a squeeze of lemon. It was delicious. Best dinner I've had in a while!

I was quite lucky to revisit the excellent jujeh kebob and torshi at Ravagh Trip 2: Electric Boogaloo while expanding the map. Khoresh Bademjan has a sauce so enticing you might drink it. And this zereshk polo meets the Third Level of Barberryness. The first level is satisfaction in the mere idea of consuming barberries and the second is the photo appeal. Ravagh is better than most purveyors in that you can actually taste this quirky, sweet ingredient. The service was outstanding on both excursions.

The service is very attentive. Right when we sat down the host gave us water which was nice. The waiter was a little too attentive, kept coming up to us to ask if we were ready to order when we were not, and just kept coming and coming every two minutes. They give complimentary flat bread which is tasty. Our Persian friend mentioned usually Persian restaurants give the bread with herbs and feta rather than just plain. We did find on the menu the herbs and feta was an extra cost. We had the kebab combo and subbed cherry rice and salad (which is cucumbers and tomatoes) and also exchanged the ground chicken kebab for a chicken breast kebab. The standout was the steak kebab and the cherry rice. There were so many cherries in the rice, and it was both sweet and savory. I couldn't stop eating it. The steak was super juicy and well seasoned. I also really like the roasted tomato on the side, basil and pickled cabbage. We ordered a stew, think it was Ghormeh sabzi. It had a bunch of herbs in it, and beans and a dried lime. Was told not to eat the lime. It was a very strong and rich stew, I took a couple of bites. Don't think I could have eaten the whole thing. It's very strong. It's our friend's favorite Persian dish and she loved it. There was one dish we wanted that they ran out of but they gave us a couple of dollars off the bill which was nice. Overall excellent food! Would come back.

I do some work for the restaurant sometimes... Just so people know that I'm honest. Sometimes I get a lunch or some food to take home & I'm never disappointed. The food is fresh & tasty, I been to Grill Point on Main Street & it doesn't compare. Not putting them down, the service was good & the food is OK... it's always packed & I'm wondering why. At Shiraz they have nice portions, the food is grilled perfectly. I love the Jujeh: One skewer of small chicken marinated in lemon & saffron broiled to perfection & the Beef Kobideh: One skewers of seasoned ground beef broiled to perfection combo. Combo Portions are good for 2, but I prefer to get my own. The Stews are Great over rice. The other day I tried the "Chicken Shwarma & I fell in love. :Why can't my girl cook like this, I guess that's why I don't love her"... LOL. The salads are good, but always use the house dressing on them. Also they have a house special white sauce that goes over the meat or rice, make sure to get extra. The potato salad is homemade & very good. I haven't tried everything on the menu either, but so far I have no complains. The family also enjoys the food & we always get great service. They also host events & do catering for all occasions. I wish this place was closer to home, but it's worth the ride. Sometimes I hate spending the time & money at other places... read more

The food was disappointing, the service was slow, both to take our order and to bring it to the table. They do that thing where they try to push their overpriced watered down drinks on you while they pretend they didn't hear you ask about when your entree will be brought out. I felt like if we didn't order enough drinks they wouldn't bring us our food. When the food did arrive it was cold! I recommend skipping this place. read more

There were 10 people in my party. Due to some tables not getting up in time, we had to wait about 30 minutes, even though we were early to the reservation. The restaurant was packed. My family enjoyed everything. We ordered multiple dishes and the three rice sides (zereshk polo, Abaloo polo (my fav - cherry rice) and green rice). We ordered the chicken kebab (2) platters, shrimp kebab (2 platters), barg kebab, ground meat kebab, salmon kebab, and a chicken with pomegranate stew. The chicken with pomegranate stew (Koresh Fesenjan) I had never tried before and it was delicious. For dessert, most of us had Persian tea and Persian ice cream. My grandfather and husband got the chocolate lava cake, was very good. My brother in law got the halavah, which I have had before and he really liked it. I wanted to note the service besides waiting for the table was great. The waiter was super helpful on how many dishes to order and we were all able to finish everything except the rice, which I took home.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly woman who took my order, which was a nice start. The service was quick--I only waited a couple of minutes before receiving my food. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. What I received was not what I expected. A proper falafel sandwich is typically served inside a pita, but this one came wrapped like a burrito. For $9.25, I got just four falafel patties--not balls--and they were large, mushy, lacked crispness, and had very little flavor. The quantity was underwhelming and didn't justify the price. Not only was the sandwich disappointing, but I also haven't felt well since eating it. While the rest of the menu seems popular, judging by how busy the place was, the mystery meats in the trays didn't look appealing to me either.
