Reviews for Shiraz Restaurant in Glendale, CA
I reserved the place and ordered the lunch ahead of time for 40 people. it cost $50 per person. the chicken kabob was under... cooked, on the table of 7, sabzi polo was enough only for two people. I ordered lapeh stew but we?ve got left over andunpleasant ghormeh sabzi which no one touched it. when i complained to the owner he said there is no more lapeh stew left toserve you without apologizing to me. I will not recommend this place for any large gathering. they don?t deliver what theycharge you for. Read more
The service was good but not the food. Lamb shank was far from authentic persian lamb shank. Kabob was ok not the best not the... worst. We ordered 3 different foods and they were OK but none of them was that good. Stew, kabob, and lamb shank, all weremediocre. FYI, Tahdig was rice tahdig not the bread but that is fine but not my preference. All servers were nice andrespectful. Read more
Shiraz was an upscale, family friendly Persian restaurant which felt like eating in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding! The food... was fresh, authentic and stomach stretching. I loved the lamb and appetizer platter. Read more
This is by far my favorite middle eastern/persian restaurant. If you love boneless chicken kabob, this is the place for you. I... use to come all the time when I worked in Glendale. I don't work there anymore, so whenever I am in the area, I will definitelygo to Shiraz. If you can make it for lunch, then that's a plus cause they serve dinner portions at lunch prices. I always orderthe boneless chicken kabob lunch plate. It comes with soup or salad. I always get the ash mast soup (cilantro yogurt soup). It'sso good. Then comes the plate, it will filled with juicy tender boneless chicken kabob with a large portion of price, grilledtomatoes, onions and green peppers. I add a little butter to the rice. Oh don't forget the complimentary pita bread, butter andradish, mint leaves and raw onions. Service is usually good. They might be a lacking on a busy day but that's reasonable. Thereis parking up front and a large parking lot in the back. Read more
What a gem!!! The food was excellent, and the portion was significant. We loved what we ordered. I can not remember the names of... the dishes as we don't frequent Persian restaurants, but I will try to go to more Persian restaurants. Btw, there a patio isfantastic. We took loads of pictures. Great food and service! Read more
I love this place. I actually don't get to eat here often enough. The atmosphere is calm and soothing. Indoor or outdoor... seating. And the food is delicious. I always have to take an order of cherry rice to go. Read more
Let me be honest with you, unlike other reviews. Portion is good, tomatoes tasty and bread is not bad. That's all there is to... this place. Menu was expensive. Kebabs were dry. In the rice there were pieces small tahdeeg(not the tasty ones) server was abit rude and the food was not fresh. Koobideh and barg was awfully dry. Now if you never had kebabs before this might taste okwith you. But for a kebab fan this was just horrid. We decided to try this place because the prices on their google map lookedcheap but to our surprise that was the price from 15 years ago according to the waiter. If you want to pay 30 bucks for a kebaband 9 bucks for a yogurt just go to the raffi place 5 min away. Food is also pricey but absolutely delicious. (They had nicedecoration outside) Read more
I have been coming here since I was born. Baptisms, after funeral services, parties, this restaurant is great for any occasion,... even for just stopping by to have a quick lunch. The food here is always on point. The meat is never cooked too much it's nice &most. Prices of dishes aren't too easy out crazy expensive either. You could come here for a formal dinner or even just a casualdinner with a few of your friends. Staff is friendly & helpful. They do a good job to make the time you spend here a good oneregardless of the occasion. Read more
