    My, my, my, what a weird little place you are, Shiraz. Sure, I went to see you on a friend date…read more Sure, we were pre-movie early birds. But why you remained awkwardly empty--aside from the owner eating at one of the tables in the back--for the whole hour and change we were there still perplexes me. Especially since the owner/server was oddly charming, the Persian (does Persia still exist in the world of Culinaria?) tea was sweet but pleasing, the Vegetable Bourek was tasty, and the Moussaka was pretty excellent. So why did the dining experience leave me feeling like I just took down cheese-covered lentils in the Orientalist Twilight Zone? Oh, Shiraz--you might not have the aura of a "winner," but I like you anyway. So, Dear Reader, help a poor restaurant out--the next time you and your group want to go out for a lively meal, book Shiraz. The food is reasonably priced, they have cheap house wine, and a browse on localsecrets.com should turn up an offer or two. Whether you have the heart to cash in a 20% off food coupon as the only table in the house is up to you--I sure didn't.

    Really nice restaurant. The food was delicious with good range of vegetarian dishes. The mixed…read moreplatter starter was a great way to see the general quality of the food - excellent hummus and tasty pita bread (which could've been a bit warmer). It's a shame the restaurant was so empty when we arrived at 7pm. The waitress was very friendly and helpful, and the prices were reasonable. If you're looking for something a bit different in Cambridge, I highly recommend it - makes a change from yet another 'Italian' restaurant!

    My friends absolutely love Berenjak, so of course I had to see why they rave so much about it…read more Definitely make a reservation, because you will not have much luck if you are trying to walk in. Unfortunately, it seems like all the reservations are for counter seating. It was fine though, since we were able to watch them grill all the kababs in their coal-fired grill! Kept it straightforward and ordered the Feast Menu, which is £55 pp. Comes with two types of bread in Taftoon and Sangak, four starters (Mirza Ghasemi, Mast O Khiar, Hummus, and Black Truffle Olivieh), two kababs (we chose the Koobideh Kebab and Jujeh Kebab), and three sides (Shirazi, Torshi Phel Phel, and House Rice). I've never had Persian cuisine on this level as all the dishes were very unique. Even the hummus tasted like hummus I've never had before. I would say that the Jujeh Kebab took me by surprise because I don't expect white meat chicken to be very good, but this was genuinely great! Service was fine, although nothing to rave about. We were handed our bread and starters pretty quickly, but the kebabs took 25 minutes for us to get. I don't know if that was an intentional decision to space out the starters from the kababs. Since we could see that they were cranking out many kababs, maybe that was an intentional decision. I don't know. Ambience is fine. Hard to feel the ambience when we were sitting at the counter rather than an actual table. Overall, I can see why my friends love Berenjak, because everything was absolutely delicious! Worth the visit.

    Stunning meal! Went in a party of 8 and so we got "the feast". It was a feast, indeed. Came out in…read more2 big sharing courses. First we had bread and dips and the flavors here were outstanding. It was very hard to stop myself from eating to bursting in this course, just knowing the main was still to come. Every dip was so good, but my favorite might have been the hummus. Unlike any other hummus I've ever tried - much thicker, really highlighting the chickpea with other nutty bits and seeds mixed in. For the main, we each chose one kebab per person, and since we had so many of us, we really had coverage of every single one they had to offer. Instead of serving the one kebab ordered in front of the person, this was served on sharing platters as well, which was perfect! These were huge and we had so much meat that everybody got to try all the kebabs. So juicy, perfectly seasoned and grilled. This course was served with more bread, rice, and bright crunchy salads with enough acid to cut the fatty meat. Plus leftover dips from the first course. Overall a delightful, rowdy, elbow to elbow and heavily laden table meal! Would highlight recommend. Sounds like reservations are hard to come by and recommend booking far in advance!
