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.

Shiraz Kitchen was such a memorable dining experience from start to finish. We ordered a mix of…read moreappetizers and mains, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. 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.

18% SERVICE CHARGE FOR HORRENDOUS SERVICE. I've been eating here for years on diff branches and…read morehave always had great experiences until recently. Unfortunately, after my last two visits, I won't be coming back because of the extremely poor service from one particular server MALE with glasses in his late 40s-50s. My family of four (2 adults and 2 kids) ordered the Koobideh and Soltani plates. Every single time we've dined here over the years, we've had our onions grilled without any issue. This time, the server insisted that onions are only supposed to be served raw and told us that if we wanted them grilled, we had to order and pay extra. We paid the extra charge without arguing, but the way he spoke to us was rude, condescending, and unprofessional. This was actually the second time we had this same experience with him. When the bill arrived, we noticed an 18% service charge had been added. The server said it was the restaurant's policy for parties of four. This was surprising because we've been coming here for years with the same party size, have never been charged a service fee before, and have always tipped generously. I politely asked whether this was a new policy and requested to see the menu to verify that the service charge was disclosed. Instead of answering, the server told me, "Pay first with the service charge, and then I'll show you the menu." He also implied that he wanted me to sign the receipt first to make sure he secured the service charge because he thought we wouldn't tip him. After leaving, I called the restaurant to speak with the manager, but the same server answered and claimed no manager was available. When I questioned the undisclosed 18% service charge, he repeated that it was restaurant policy for tables of four. I explained that I had never been charged this before and that, as far as I understood, mandatory service charges should be clearly disclosed on the menu. His response was, "Well, you already signed it, so it's not your money anymore." That response was shocking and completely unprofessional. I would have gladly paid the service charge--and even tipped extra--if the service had been friendly and respectful. Instead, the entire experience felt hostile and dishonest. When I asked for the manager's name, the server hung up on me and told me not to call the restaurant back. I've been a loyal customer for years, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I hope the restaurant addresses both the customer service issues and the lack of transparency regarding mandatory service charges.

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.

Waiters took our orders quick but once the food came? We had to ask twice for more Sangak Bread since we ordered 3 different hummus. And originally only came with maybe 5 pieces of bread total which def wasn't enough for a party of 5 and 3 big plates of hummus. THE DRAMA- A waitress or the owner? She was holding a plate that I assume was my stew and I said that's mines and she automatically said no it's not mines...hmm ok my fault...yet turns out it was mines...she wasn't the person who took my order yet assumed it wasn't mines nor asked "did you order Gheymeh Bademjoon?" I found that off putting but shrugged it off, maybe I was just starving from not enough bread for all that hummus which was freaken delicious. We had a few main entrees and everything was tasty and def authentic with all those unique flavors. I did put the hummus over my rice for extra flavor, didn't want to toss them out. Overall it's a good spot, one of a kind of flavors you don't have often. My group left full but not exactly satisfied? Oh it's also a BYOB place. Not sure I would go back though.
