Shiraz Mediterranean Grill

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

Tasty food! Excellent service! Fresh and hot! You name it! Glad we found this Gem of a place. They also have a really nice and spacious outdoor seating with a pergola for dining Al fresco. Highly recommend the chicken tender kabob and the hummus.

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

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

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.
