This trip we enjoyed the iskender kebab, and Apo's chicken and lamb kebabs are tender and beautifully seasoned. Apo home bakes the baklava, which is as perfect as it gets. This is an amazing lunch or dinner spot. Low key, reasonably priced and of the highest quality. Highly recommend.

The stuffed feta dates were the good balance of sweet and savory, and the eggplant dip was incredibly smooth and rich without feeling heavy. A little extra seasoning could go a long way with the dip! For mains, the salmon was beautifully cooked and well-seasoned, and the lamb shank was a standout--tender, deeply flavorful, and comforting in the best way. The falafel had a great crisp on the outside while staying soft inside. You can really tell they put care into each dish. What made the night extra special was the birthday surprise: the sweetest baklava presentation that felt so warm and personal. It was such a thoughtful touch. We also ended the night with cappuccinos, hot chocolate, and an affogato (not pictured), which were the perfect cozy finish. Overall, Shiraz Kitchen strikes a great balance between elevated and welcoming. It's the kind of place that feels just as right for a celebration as it does for a relaxed dinner. Would absolutely come back.

Love this place!…read more This is my go to Indian spot. I love all of their food; it's delicious and fresh. My favorite dish to order here is the: chicken tikka masala. It comes with rice, naan and chicken. It's the best chicken tikka I've had. It's buttery, flavorful and fresh. I love their dessert too. My favorite dessert to order here is the: Galub jamun. Anar has take out, delivery and they have in restaurant seating as well. I love coming here because the food is prepared quickly and to order. I can't wait to come back again soon.

I was looking to change up my lunch routine a bit and noticed that Anar had recently opened. There…read moreare a few businesses that recently opened or are opening soon in White Plains, and since I always enjoy trying a new place out I figured now was as a good a time as ever to see what Anar had to offer. Anar is an Indian-Mediterranean restaurant close to the main Mamaroneck Ave strip and White Plains Hospital. The space used to be a straight-up Indian restaurant called India Cafe, but at the start of the pandemic last March they closed and never reopened (though they still operate a takeout spot a few doors down). Eventually after a refresh, Anar opened - though I suspect the owners are the same since the menu is similar to its predecessor. Anyway, I wasn't able to sit and eat but they offer takeout so I placed my order online and picked it up on my lunch break. The menu contains a number of Indian dishes as well as general Mediterranean fare. They have a dedicated lunch specials section, and the chicken shawarma roll on it looked good so I went with that. I also ordered the chili gobi, and one of my colleagues got the chicken pakora. The chicken shawarma was great, it was an ample size with a generous helping of chicken. The naan was great, and that white sauce really tied it all together. The chili gobi was tasty with just the right amount of spice - the cauliflower wasn't as crispy as I've had elsewhere, but the flavor was great. Service was good - my food was ready by the promised time, and was packaged neatly despite the risk of it getting messy with all the sauces and such. Overall, I had a great first experience at Anar. The food was tasty and they offer something not really seen elsewhere in White Plains - I'll be sure to return.

I came hangry after fasting from a Dr's appointment and I was not disappointed. Service was ok - only 1 waiter & he seemed distracted with his phone. Butternut soup was flavorful & the hummus was excellent (and I've tried it all over the world). One strange thing were these overly hard pita chips served w/ the hummus. I wanted soft fresh pita with my hummus. When I asked for soft pita bread with, I was told this was the owners choice & I'd have to pay extra for it. The chicken shwarma was 2 out of 5 - it was overcooked when it was supposed to be moist. I was hungry so I let it go. The other 2 items I started with were so good - I figured I just picked the wrong item from the menu. I would give this restaurant another chance.

Sad to say, after being loyal customers, this place turned us off tonight permanently. I placed a large anniversary dinner order by phone, including tahdig ($12). During the call, I specifically asked if the rice came with tomato and onion and was told no it comes with the tahdig that I ordered. So yes it comes with the order. I was also asked whether I wanted the gheymeh on top or on the side of the tahdig. I chose on the side. When I got home, the order didn't match what was discussed: The tahdig wasn't traditional rice tahdig like me or my wife have had countless times. It was more like this brownish, sheet-like, crumble with a few flecks of rice on the crumble, but not crispy. Not Persian tahdig. The gheymeh was missing entirely, despite being discussed on the call. The tomato and onion that I was told were included were not there. The fesenjan had only a few pieces of chicken. The ghormeh sabzi was okay, but pretty underwhelming in flavor. I called politely to clarify about the missing tahdig (for next time) and was told someone would call me back. No one did. When I called again an hour later, the same person who took my original order responded in a dismissive and accusatory tone, unilaterally escalating her tone and voice immediately, almost angrily accusing me of daring to call, and told me that the tahdig does not come with gheymeh, and tomato and onion aren't included either. (This is the opposite of what I was told when ordering). She repeatedly interrupted me, talking over me, instead of listening or trying to resolve the issue. We've been coming here since moving from Southern California a few years ago, whenever we felt homesick and wanted some Persian food. The food has always been....OK....nothing like Persian restaurants in Toronto or Southern California, but we continued ordering out of nostalgia and lack of other options. However, this experience today, incorrect information, missing items, no follow-up, and then, the way the situation was handled was our final turn off. Disappointing, especially for what was meant to be a special occasion. We won't be returning, nor will our visiting Persian family or friends.

I would give 5 stars, if they tone down the hot chilli spice level, and provide salt, pepper, and chilli shakers on the table for those who love extra hot. They need to move into a bigger place and have more knowledgeable servers. When we say mild, we mean little amount of hot chilli peppers in any form. They need to make everything mild and add hot chilli peppers for those who want it, its easy to add than to take out, which is impossible once added. Also they need to consider adding more healthy food made with beans, legumes, quinoa, protein rich food, leafy veggies, with very little to no oil, type of food you can eat everyday, without guilt.
