Everything was amazing and it felt like I was back in Southern California at Raffi Kabob in Glendale. The staff was incredibly professional, and the service was unbelievable, including lit candles, music and a very romantic yet casual scene to complete the ambiance! read more

I brought a friend here for lunch after he was craving Persian Food. I thought we would give this place a try since I have been to Giovanni's across the street. Apparently, the owners at Shiraz were the old owners at Giovanni's. It is located in a small strip mall and very nice inside. We were seated right away. We were planning on eating a lot and our waitress seemed a little irritated that we were going to share a combination chicken and kebab plate. To appease her, we also ordered some appetizers of Hummus and Babaganoush. Both were very tasty with a different taste profile than the Lebanese or Greek versions. The Koobideh and Chicken Kebab combination plate was delicious. The Rice and Grilled Tomatoes that came with it were very tasty as well. We finished off with some Baklava and Persian Tea. The Baklava tasted like it was made in-house. This place is a little pricier than some other Persian Restaurants but you can tell in their quality. I would definitely return here in the future. read more

Food quality and the service were excellent. The chicken (joojeh kabob), kabob Koobideh and barg (filet) were very juicy and tender. We also ordered Fesenjoon, which was very tasty. read more

Shiraz is good but expensive. My family always wants to go here when we gather in Plano, and the place can get very busy for dinner. The service is always good and attentive for large parties. We have tried a variety of dishes, the kabobs are juicy and flavorful while the stews are decent. read more

I was craving a nice gyro, oh well... not at this place you guys. I was looking for this place called Best Gyro on Alpha Road and I didn't take the right turn I went further and I ended up in the back alley and that's where this place is at. I never seen it heard about it and I was like oh maybe it's a hidden Jim. Everything happens for a reason right so I'm just gonna go here this place also sell gyros, so I'm just going to go with this one. The place is neat. They have both and their TV is playing like a Turkish food channel which is cool. I like that too like I said I just wanted a Gyro and I ordered a side of french fries everything look good until I tried it and they were literally three shaved pieces of meat in that pizza. The meat was like half dry half OK not really tasty. That's tzatziki was not even a Taziki sauce, but some kind of white sauce. It wasn't garlic. It was way more liquidy for some reason neither of the tomato nor the onions had any flavor whatsoever didn't care for the lettuce And the french fries was just from a bag and like also lacking a flavor and oh my gosh, it was just really terrible. I have never had worse food than this. I am after I finished. I went to wash my hands and I asked the guy at the counter who helped me what am I supposed to do with my plates and he showed me where to clean it and empty it and he was on the phone before, and he continued being on his phone. I am never that kind of a person who doesn't leave a tip. I always feel for these guys, especially this place is super heat and I'm sure that it's not that much traffic but even me going to the bathroom washing my hands using the bathroom drying my hands. This person was still on their phone not Helping clients customers to clean the place or like even make any you know effort or he didn't really seem like he loves to be there, but yeah, it was just off putting the energy was weird and I will definitely not return ever and I will not recommend it to anyone. It's pretty sad because from the outside the place looks really nice. I wish they would do a better job. read more

Shiraz Mediterranean Grill - Looks good, tastes bad :( regular gyro and side of fries - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Who are these people rating this restaurant 3.8 stars!??? It's a beautiful restaurant with outstanding service. Granted the prices seemed a bit steep but I am so glad my wife and I went inside on a whim without checking Yelp first otherwise we may never have. Hummus, freshly made and excellent. Our pita bread, hot and smelled delicious, esp when eaten with the hummus. The Tabuli was so lemony and you could actually see the bulgur wheat inside, which lesser establishments tend to minimize. Our ground beef and spicy chicken combo were seasoned so perfectly, the texture on them was ethereal, and it tasted freshly kissed off the grill. An absolutely incredible meal. I'm done checking yelp before I eat. I'm here to help businesses thrive and Shiraz deserves this type of affirmation. Please enjoy and don't listen to the whiners. read more

First time to dine at Shiraz. Four of us were there for lunch and all of us enjoyed our meals. Service was attentive and not pushy. The spicy chicken kebab lunch was delicious and I highly recommend it. But it was too much for one person. I easily took half of it home. The option of smaller portions would be better. I wish the waiter would have suggested an option to have half an entrée or that they are very shareable entrées. We were the only customers at lunch as the restaurant was empty for a Thursday. I honestly think that's because their lunch menu is just too expensive. Every entrée was over $27. I guess you could've just ordered a salad or an appetizer but it seems like the entrées should've catered to a lunch crowd. The portions were easily shareable and if I had a recommendation, it would be to serve half size portions and half the price at lunch at least. I definitely will come back as the food was so good. But probably at dinner. read more

Best Persian food in town imo. Barg, koobideh are excellent here as well as the saffron rice. This place hits but they try to be too fancy for what it is and the price point is too high. This is one cuisine that's cheaper and better in manhattan nyc. Overall it's yummy with formal vibes inside. I'm a patron regardless because it's just that good lol. read more

Shiraz has delicious Persian food, nice and clean ambiance, and friendly and attentive staff!

Fantastic restaurant! We went for a wedding reception and the food was absolutely some of the best I've tried. The hummus was perfect and I tried a few other dishes that I will be ordering next time I am in the area. I live about an hour away and would drive that without a second thought to eat here. Highly recommend. read more

This is our new go to spot for Persian since coming to Texas. Beautiful restaurant with lovely people and someone very skilled in the back. This is the Persian food I remember in LA and San Francisco and even my own mom's cooking. Top notch. Great house doogh, kashke bademjon is great so is the citrusy jujeh kabob but what sealed the deal here was the Koobideh. Juicy Koobideh w perfect char and saffron rice that is out of this world. So glad we finally ignored ppl who weren't too savvy on Persian food. Good luck finding Koobideh like this anywhere else in north Dallas. read more

Wonderful ambiance with great friendly service and the food is the best.... They prepare meals with love read more

Good food but extremely overpriced. I've been coming here for years with my family and remember when a dinner plate was $18.99 and now we're at $30 or so per plate, it's crazy! Totally understandable that prices have increased but this is too much, not worth it. We used to dine here at least twice a month, have had family parties here with parties of 10-20+ but can no longer do that due to prices. I have gone to many popular Persian restaurants in California and Virginia and nobody charges prices like this. read more

Shiraz Mediterranean Grill - Ground Beef Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've dined in and ordered takeout multiple times. My favorite kabob is the ground beef because it's the most flavorful (imo), the spicy chicken comes in second (not spicy at all). The one time I ordered the filet kabob, it was dry, so I stick with the ground beef from now on. I had the hummus appetizer but it wasn't anything special. I've had a few other apps but nothing memorable enough for me to order again. I usually order takeout and have them package it family style rather than the individual dishes. The rice is absolutely delicious! I wish they'd throw in more tomatoes and naan. It's a bit pricy for the 2 dishes I order which is a reason why I don't takeout from here more often, but I definitely recommend this place! read more

Went there for an early dinner on a weekday with a group of friends ... Nice ambience and at first was concerned that there weren't many patrons .. But boy ... did it fill up quick ... The service was great and the food was awesome ... We shared the Appetizer combination platter. We got the Mirza Ghasemi [the Red one ... my fav], Hummus, Kashk-e-Bademjan & Baba Ganoush. I had the Special Combo of Ground Beef and Chicken Kabob. The meats were very well cooked and saffron rice was just delish. Honestly, that was a lot of food (for me) ... This really is a 4.5 Star review. The only downside here was that the dishes are a tad bit expensive as such the missing 0.5 on the review. But given the quantity they serve, that may be justified. Definitely will be going there again with the Fam !! read more

We were so excited to try this place out and decided on lunch today. The staff were kind and welcoming which is the only reason for the 2 stars. Although their presentation is nice, the food was unfortunately was extremely disappointing. Probably some of the worst we've had. The meats were overcooked and the rice had no flavor. All four entrees were the same so when you're considering the extremely steep prices versus the quality and flavor, it's a loss for us. Shockingly, the grilled veggies were the tastiest item we had. Let me make it clear that I don't at all mind paying for pricey entrees when they're worth it and this was most definitely not! $49 for the driest Barg and Koobideh Soltani?? Really? The owners/management should pay closer attention to how the chefs are preparing the dishes that customers are paying so much more. You can try your ridiculous prices versus the lack of quality to those that wouldn't know better but Iranians do. It's a shame to get over on people read more

Great place to eat. High quality Persian food. Somewhat higher than average price but worth it

The best persian cuisine in town. I enjoy all of the persian restaurants in the area, and they all have good food, but Shiraz is where I go if I want to take some family who have never been. Try the chicken kabob, the beef koubideh kabob, and the gormeh sabzi. read more

The food here never disappoints, it's 10 s/10 for me. It's a little pricey, but the quality is worth the money you pay for special occasions. ------------ Funnily enough my favorite thing here is the little appetizer you can get with the feta cheese, greenery, and radishes. It's usually served with a warm pita and tastes so good , 10/10. They also have the most delicious chicken barley soup, I'm not a huge soup fan but this gets me every time, 10/10. Whenever we come here as a family we always order a bunch of skewers of kabobs and share it "family style." I have yet to try something that wasn't juicy and delicious. I especially like their beef koubideh. Price: $22-30 per entree, $10-15 per appetizer read more

Shiraz Mediterranean Grill - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It really depends who's cooking in the kitchen whether my chicken gets cooked decently or not, or burnt and dry. Some days it's pretty good, but tonight, I specifically asked as usual for my chicken not to be overcooked and even added NO BURN OR CHAR PLSE. And I got pieces that are super burnt. Not cool. The only reason I'm even giving 3 stars is because sometimes it IS cooked correctly while other times it's super burnt and overcooked like tonight. It's a gamble. When it's cooked correctly it's very good, but there's no consistency and depends if the guy who couldn't care less what you request is in the kitchen cooking. Also love the barberry rice. But after this I likely won't order again in a while, once again. I specifically said don't burn or char it.. and this cook simply couldn't care less what you request and burnt it a lot and it's dry as hell tonight read more

Shiraz Mediterranean Grill - Asked for no burning or charring and still got burnt - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

First and last visit here. Very basic, hardly seasoned food that is extremely over priced. $30+ per plate for something worth less than $20. Charging fancy restaurant prices for a plate that is literally just rice and and meat. What a joke. Service was slow despite being practically empty. Not bad food, but the price should reflect what it is. I'd never pay more than $15 for what they serve. read more

Amazing authentic Persian food. The juiciest and most tender soltani I can recall having. Half of our group never tried Persian food before. Loved the rice, Cornish hen and kebabs. Service was great, pretty decor. read more

Went for dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday. The restaurant offers a very good spread of Iranian food. We ordered their Sabzi Panir Platter and Hummus as appetizers and Ground Chicken Kabob and Lamb Kabob for the main course. The Sabzi Panir Platter had a good selection of fresh herbs and Feta Cheese. The Hummus was presented well as 4 scoops with a generous drizzle of olive oil and chopped olives. The Kabobs were tender and had very good flavors. The rice that was served with the Kabobs was some of the best I have tasted. The service and the ambiance is excellent. read more

We ordered take out yesterday 1. Chicken kabob 2. Vegetable platter with cheese 3. Masto Moosir ? Food was delicious.

If you're in the mood to waste your money on grossly overpriced food, subpar service, and small portions, then by all means, visit this place. For nearly $30 a plate, you'd think they'd at least have the decency to serve a full portion of rice. The prices here are simply outrageous--even the best Persian restaurants in LA don't charge as much as Shiraz does. Maybe if the prices weren't so high, it wouldn't look like a ghost town inside. The restaurant was almost completely empty, which should've been our first red flag. To make matters worse, the service was abysmal. Our waitress was unfriendly and seemed annoyed by our mere presence, making the entire dining experience uncomfortable. She was dismissive, inattentive, and treated us like a burden for simply being there. As if that wasn't enough, when we made reasonable requests, we could overhear the owners / managers making sly, rude remarks about us. It was clear that they don't care about their customers and are more interested in mocking them behind their backs. In summary, this restaurant is a complete waste of time and money. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere that actually values its customers. I recommend Giovanni's Mediterranean Grill which is right across the street. They have much better food and will treat you with respect and kindness. read more

Food is very tasty price for me is too high $27 for the mix plate and no bread..I feel is too much.. but overall is a nice place..if you like Iranian food with a bar then this is the place for you (I wish they brought the bread,cheese and herbs to the tables like they do in other places) read more

I've been eating at this place since I was a kid with my family. It's a great place to go celebrate and eat good portions of food that are cooked perfectly and taste amazingly there's always music playing, and everyone is very nice in there the servers in the owner as well but if you were looking to go somewhere with the group, this place would definitely be pretty good read more

It saddens me that the overall food quality and taste have downgraded and the price skyrocketed! Ordered the Kashk-E-Bademjan and it looked old, didn't tasted fresh either. The Beef Kabob (Barg) is supposed to be skewered, marinated and charbroiled but was served like a flank steak with absolute no flavor and it was expensive for mediocre meat at $42!!! I would have been better served and more reasonable priced going to the fast food restaurant across the way! read more

Forget about the ambiance, service, taste and quality. The prices are outrageous and nothing can justify a $50 soltani in Texas. Maybe if I was visiting a remote region in the world like Antarctica or Easter Island, I'd consider it. We all need to boycott this establishment. There are alternatives. If you live in Dallas, Cafe Izmir on Greenville has been around since the 90's. Their atmosphere, quality and service all surpass Shiraz and it's reasonably priced. My sister told me about a new spot in McKinney for those who live up north but I can't remember the name. The point is, don't burn your money at Shiraz. Find an alternative. read more

a shame, this place will out of business soon..all because of greed, once a good Persian restaurant now is just a rip off....our family has spent well over $50,000 atleast over the years but its all over, your prices are out of touch with the world and just not worth the product you serve. Your prices should be no more than half, your koobideh for 31.00 is a joke, thats one of your cheapest items on your menu....Your new ARIA in frisco is a bigger joke than this place, same menu and prices but half of the already small portions...you should be ashamed Mr Amini, your greed will be your downfall...anybody coming to this place is a fool, we need a new persian restaurant that is not just going rip us off at every chance read more

Okay I will say this place is kinda expensive. BUT the food is so good it's kinda worth in a way. The meat is super tender and juicy. I got the spicy chicken dish and my boyfriend got the mixed platter of some sort with like beef and chicken kebabs. The beef one was surprising sooo tasty and I would highly recommend. I was apprehensive at first but it was so good. The chicken is good too! Very big and big portions. BTW charged extra if you want to split an entrée and extra charged if you want to substitute items. Food service is pretty fast too. Would recommend! read more

Our first time to this restaurant and we were greeted by the manager and the hostess who took us to our table . There, the alert waitress gave us the menu and noticed that I was not comfortable as the center table in the booth was too far from the seats . She immediately moved the seat to my liking and made sure we were comfortably seated . The appetizer " tah dig " was very tasty with two stews generously poured on top . Overall the ambiance and Food were great .However, Mary ( Mehry) the waitress who was a PHD student putting herself through school is the reason I was prompted to write this review . I ordered ground chicken kabob , but it was not prepared as I had previously experienced in high end Persian restaurants . Mary took notice that I was sharing my husband's food and want eating my own fish . She asked if she could offer to bring a skewer of beef koobideh at N/C ! I told her that was not necessary , and that it is mainly my taste for good , others may like the flavor . But she said we want you to enjoy your food . I appreciated her attention and her desire to make sure we liked our dinner and had a good experience . She definitely is an asset to this establishment . Thank you Mary and Shiraz restaurant . We sure will be back . I recommend this restaurant for a great taste of Persian food and when you go ask for Mary . read more

I don't know how this place is rated 4 stars. Bland food, no marination of any kind on the chicken. It tasted as if they cut up the chicken and put it on the grill. Absolutely NOT worth going and the OUTRAGEOUS pricing. I'm from LA and the Persian Restaurants there are well worth the price and the food. read more
