Hospitality is a lot about how you treat your customers. Its the energy, the manners, the vibe, the…read morehuman connection. 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.

Everything I tried was delicious and very fresh.

The atmosphere is very pleasant, warm, and classy. The Labneh is a great starter to get for the table and my favorite entree is the ground beef koobideh with either the basmati rice or fries. In general I typically skip dessert wherever I go but at Shiraz I really enjoy the saffron ice cream. My family and I always have a great time at Shiraz and look forward to coming back again and again.

They have an area in the back where they put larger groups, which I appreciated. For starters we tried the grilled wings and the peach salad which we enjoyed. For my entree I got the grilled branzino which was cooked perfectly. I will say though the food was cooked well, it lacked some flavor and seasoning. Some folks at the table were underwhelmed with the level of seasoning.

We split several appetizers and one was better than the other. For dinner, I had the whole fish which was delicious! The others had various specials. The Filet Mignon was beautifully presented and was tender and perfectly cooked as were the Lamb Chops. The Pastitsio and Moussaka were also excellent! We split a few of the different desserts and they were all scrumptious and quite decadent . (Unfortunately, there were no leftovers for doggie bags)! All of the food portions were plentiful and everything was amazing. The food was absolutely superb! Anasa is the perfect choice for a celebration, family get together or even for a quiet romantic dinner. It does not disappoint!!

I hadn't had mediterranean in a while and I'm not head over heels for the place near me so I wanted to try something new. This place seemed decent enough. I ordered a greek salad and hummus with pita. There were varying gyros, another greek salad with chicken, some platters including the falafel platter that GF orderd. My salad was wonderful. The ingredients were fresh and that dressing was lovely. It was a salad I actually enjoyed instead of regretting the entire time I glared at my coworkers who ordered real shit with envy. The hummus was also very creamy, authentic hummus with a slightly different taste than I am used to but head and shoulders above any store bought bullshit. Everyone else said good shit about their food. I tried one of GF's falafel from her platter and it was really good. My only complaint is for $24 or whatever it is, i would expect more than a few falafel balls and one side. Kinda a rip off. But everything tasted really, really good.

When I checked into my hotel, all three people at the front desk recommended the restaurant across the street. But me being me, I went with and my love for Greek food. I wish I would've listened. ‍ Everything on the menu sounded amazing... but of course it did. It's Greek! The waiter suggested the octopus and told me it was a large portion, so I should start with just one. Fine, I took his advice. I also wanted a Greek salad because, in my opinion, every meal needs a salad. Well... he took matters into his own hands and only put in the octopus. It arrived with a bang, beautiful presentation, looked absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, my taste buds didn't agree with the looks. It was just okay. About 20 minutes later, after noticing I wasn't really eating much of it, he came over and asked if I wanted him to put in the salad. Ummm... yes!!! That's what I ordered it!!! And I then asked him to add grilled shrimp too. He seemed a little irritated, which I honestly didn't understand. Listen, if I'm telling you I want to try multiple things, LET ME. Don't stop me from ordering what I want and then make me feel like I have to beg for the next dish. The Greek salad finally arrived... and it was also pretty meh. Where was the olive oil, lemon and oregano? Sometimes the basics really are the best. So, the verdict? Beautiful presentation, lots of potential, but the food just didn't live up to my expectations. And ironically, the best thing I ordered was the wine. I wish the service would have and up for the lack of food, but that was pretty annoying as well ! Maybe I should've listened to the three people at the front desk.

Prix fixe lunch menu available Monday through Friday, 11:30 am - 3 pm. An ala carte menu is also available should you not want to partake in the prix fixe. Our picks from the prix fixe menu were: * Avgolemono soup - bright, lemony, and super comforting with chicken and orzo * Gyro with fries - gyro meat, Tzatziki , tomatoes and onions wrap in a pita (chicken also available) * Spanakopita - two spinach, leeks and feta, wrapped in phyllo dough topped with sesame seeds. These were baked to perfection with a delicious, well-balanced flavor that wasn't overpowering * Grilled chicken in pita with fig jam, fresh mozzarella, arugula, and salad. A delicious toasted pita sandwich with perfectly melted, chewy mozzarella that really brought all the flavors together. I love fig jam, and this sandwich was definitely my "jam!" The restaurant also offers outdoor seating, and the inside has a pretty, comfortable ambiance that makes you want to relax and stay awhile. The waitstaff was friendly, attentive, and always checking in at the right time. PRO TIP: do yourself a favor and skip the salad for the fries. Hand-cut, perfectly crispy, and loaded with delicious Mediterranean herbs and seasoning -- absolutely addictive.

The staff were friendly and accommodated my curiosity when I asked what the "red paste" was; it was red pepper hummus and I asked them to add it to the top of my pita. Now for the food itself; this was a really good pita sandwich. The chicken was cooked well, all the ingredients seemed fresh, and it was a nice change from the usually "middle eastern" style of chicken in pita. Don't get me wrong, the middle eastern pita sandwich is still my "go to", but this pita will also be in my take-out lunch rotation. You should give this place a try.

The service - well you feel like family. We did a tasting menu that the chef planned. 8 courses (plus bread service). Dessert was served in the kitchen. All courses had a beverage pairing. Menu: Beet / yogurt pairing with little hints of different flavors that surprise you in a good way Tomato soup (cold) - not like anything I have had before. The father of the chef grows the little tomatoes - maybe grape tomatoes. Not sure. The best tomato soup I have ever had - there were three small tomatoes floating in the soup. So tender (no skin). Wow! Raw yellow tail with two differed sauces that you combined it all together - super fresh fish, amazing sauces - I really can't find the words to do justice for this dish. Even my husband who doesn't eat any sushi had this. And loved it. Seas bass on fava bean sauce - likely the best seas bass I have had. I'm used to Black Sea bass off the boat in Montauk; hard to beat this and they did! Tiger prawn tempora - this was served with a cold beer. Omg. I will never have tempora without a beer again. (I generally don't drink beer.) The batter was exceptionally light, the flavor if the prawn shined. Sockeye salmon on rice - I am not explaining this properly. Wowowow Filet beef with a concentrated au ju - perfectly prepared ... so flavorful. So good. Dessert: tiramisu, two different decadent cookies small and wow. Chocolate truffle (maybe not the right word) but wow We started with champagne, had white wine, red wine, beer, and port. The wines were from Portugal and were sulfite free. And they were spectacular in their own right and perfect pairing with the food. We were here for a big bday cele - it was so special. I will never forget! And I look forward to going back. I wish there were more stars to give. Wish there were more adjectives. I am at a loss at how to explain how good this experience was. If you ever get a chance to go, run there! If you haven't been, call and get a reservation or plan an event. This place has great history with an amazing family. Their passion for food and people is off the charts.
