I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Shiraz Kitchen and Wine Bar. From the moment I walked in, the hospitality was exceptional, making me feel instantly welcome. My server, Moses, was outstanding—his excellent guest relations skills, warm smile, and engaging demeanor truly elevated the experience.

The food was nothing short of exceptional. The kebab was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and tender, while the Shiraz Salad was fresh, vibrant, and wonderfully seasoned. Every bite showcased the care and expertise that goes into their dishes.

This restaurant has mastered the art of combining delicious cuisine with impeccable hospitality. I highly recommend Shiraz Kitchen and Wine Bar to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. Thank you, Moses, and the entire team for making my visit so memorable!

Here’s a more casual version:

We started with the lebneh and kashke bademjan dips, and both were super delicious, especially with the fresh bread.

For mains, we tried the beef sultani, branzino, and saffron chicken. The meat quality was amazing and so flavorful and the portions were great, but I was a bit let down by the rice. Overall, it’s a really good Persian spot and worth trying!

If you’re a foodie like me, you like to use date night as an opportunity to try a new cuisine! We loved the unique and delicious dishes at this spot especially those lamb chops.

They are serving up a delicious menu of traditional Persian dishes along with an extensive wine list to pair along side. They also have a Jazz Night every Friday from 7-10pm!

Here were our menu favorites:

🍗 Saffron Wings
🍃 Spinach Dip
🍖 Lamb Shank
🍆 Mitzi (Smoked Eggplant Dip)

Oh my, oh my, oh myyyyyy- I truly fell in love with Shiraz Kitchen and Wine Bar. I was just swept away by the atmosphere, being accompanied by  romantic jazz music in such a lovely and charming location. The server was incredibly friendly and kind, always with a genuine smile.

I must say I enjoyed the best cocktail I've ever had, the Fig in the Fog—it was heavenly. The Ghormeh Sabzi was outstanding, with perfectly cooked meat and incredible flavor. The beautifully presented ice cream was absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.

Thank you Shiraz Kitchen and Wine Bar for the absolutely amazing experience!!!!!!!! My favorite Persian restaurant!!! 😍

Short review: I didn't actually eat much here, as I had an extravagantly expensive work lunch earlier that left me waddling like a penguin, and then a ridiculously lavish work happy hour. I *did* try a couple of bites of my friend's Ghormeh Sabzi--my favorite Persian stew--and it was scrumptious.

But mostly, I remember our drinks:

- Call Me Honey: Sweet, just like the apologies I had to make to my liver when I went home.

- My Heart Is on Fire: Tasty and perfect for pepper lovers

- Mediterranean Mule: Spiced and spicy, like a certain 1995 world-dominating girl band.

- Persian Queen: My favorite of the night.

- Love & Poetry: More like love and regret at this point, but I had a good buzz going and this came with cinnamon.

- Paris to Shiraz: Maybe the only cocktail dud. A bit too bitter and a bit too boring compared to all the other fun libation creations.

Will come back to have a proper dinner one day.
