Great home style cooking by a Syrian refugee family, affiliated with the original Halifax favorite middle eastern restaurant of the same name (same diverse menu).

We are delighted to have this new cafe to go to in Spryfield area, where a vegetarian and meat eater can dine together. They also do take-out. Highly recommended.

Teeny-tiny and in pure box form, Parseh Shiraz House is small but mighty. Its bold colors and…read morelingering scents are enough to remind passer-byers that they are open and ready to serve, and who am I to resist. Everything here seems to be of the "old family recipe" merit, and I'm fairly certain that this is actually a family run business. Food is rich, delicious and super spicy... not for everyone, but for everyone sometimes. I picked up a kashk-e-bademjan (eggplant puree with whey) to go, and the feast at home was superb. Not a bite left from this generous serving, this was a dish with its own flavor. I wouldn't suggest dining in at Parseh, just because its so small. A browse through the menu and pick-up is a great idea, as this is quality food and like nothing I've had before. Yum!

"So I had lunch at Shiraz today." "Where?"…read more"Shiraz, the Persian place on Hollis." "...." If you've eaten here and told anyone about it, you've had some sort of variation on the above conversation, as I have several times now. Shiraz has been around for a while, and I've been meaning to try it. Finally one day I thought of it at work and a co-worker and I went there to pick up a quick lunch. Shiraz would count as a hole in the wall, if it wasn't also the wall. It's small, and painted a funky colour, yellow or green; I just remember my eyes being assaulted a little bit. We happened to have a menu at the office so we were able to go in there knowing what we wanted. At first glance, the first thing that strikes you is the prices - the first kebob plate listed is a hefty $18.99 for two kebobs and rice. Mind you, it is veal and lamb, but for the sake of avoiding sticker shock, they might want to re-design the menu to ease people into the pricey stuff. Being somewhat mindful of my budget, I settle on a dish that's more easy on the pocket but looks like it will be quite filling, the zereshk polo. Described as a chicken stew that comes with saffron basmati rice and barberries. After a short wait at one of the few tables inside the restaurant, we're sent on our way with our food to have back at the office. Interestingly, a quarter chicken is served on top of the rice, but what appears to be the actual stew is served separately in a bowl. The chicken is moist and has a good chicken flavour, but is oddly lacking much else. The stew has a hearty flavour of tomato and onion, although it's quite oily, whether from the chicken or added oil. In retrospect, I should have poured it over the chicken and rice, although my desk may not have been the best location for that, so this oversight may have been for the best. I haven't had saffron rice or much of anything flavoured with the most expensive spice in the world, and I must say I wasn't particularly impressed. The only way I could describe it is...musty. Yeah....not too flattering. Shiraz has some potential and I'd definitely give them another try, especially the samosas which seem to be quite popular with other posters, but as things stand now, it was just a little lacking.

They grind the chick peas for the falafel which is oven baked. The extra cherry on the top is that they use paper containers. I can't wait to try their Za'atar bread. I had to edit review. The food ordered twice now doesn't look fresh. It seems cooked 2 to 3 days ago. The restaurant looks dirty and dusty. They changed the paper container to plastic. Too bad!

The restaurant albeit a bit tiny, was bright, clean and most importantly - so fragrant! I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate and my husband ordered the Vegetarian plate. Both were served with a pita and we cleaned our dishes right up. My husband did say that the falafel was a bit dry, but in my experience, that's how they should be. My plate was plenty delicious. The chicken was moist, not dry, and the garlic sauce and hummus were tasty! I wanted to order the Shawarma Grilled Cheese (you heard me!!) but they didn't have any, so I will be back! :)

I ordered 1/2 beef, 1/2chicken shawarma plate with babaganoush, no veggies, extra sauce. The highlight of the meal for me is the babaganoush. Nothing extraordinary, but good.

I didnt get extra sauce, which is ok as i didnt pay extra for it. They didnt put any salad as requested, but put the radish in. Radish is a veggie. I dont think i'll order here again.
