    desserts

    Wow, dare I say the BEST Mediterranean food I have ever had in my life at Medi Bistro. We had a private party where they served us in a private space on an upper level of the restaurant. I was dropped off by an uber, but if you're driving here, there is validated parking in a structure or affordable pricing in a lot adjacent to the building. Since we were there for a private event, we were lucky to be able to try a good variety of their menu. My boyfriend really enjoyed their Lamb Kabob, Beef Sirloin Kabob and Koobideh. I really loved the Shirasi Salad, Hummus, Pita, Mirza Ghasemi (a smoked eggplant), Chicken Koobideh, and Sea Bass. We were also spoiled with desserts and I was able to try their Baklava and Persian Ice Cream. Yummmm! What a glorious feast. You truly can't go wrong with any of their menu items here.

    Had a simple but fantastic lunch here! Pita bread and dips are complimentary and delicious. Had the marinated mushroom and hummus appetizer which was creamy goodness. For my entree I had the chicken barg which was juicy and full of flavor. Service was excellent too. I will definitely be back.

    I had an amazing and unique dining experience today for lunch. Recently opened Medi Bistro offers a variety of MEDITERRANEAN-PERSIAN dishes. The restaurant is designed in a beautiful modern space with Persian influences. There is a large bar to the right of the entrance with several large screen TVs. We sat at one of the comfortable high back booths which would sit at least 4 people. They have onsite parking leading into the restaurant so when the weather is bad it's a nice bonus not to have to venture outdoor. When you leave the attendant in the lobby will validate your ticket so make sure you hold on to it. A full menu is on display before you enter the restaurant as well as online. A lunch menu is not available on weekends only dinner available on Saturday and Sunday from 11 am to 11 pm. Our waitress Chelsey helped us decide on starters as well as explained some of the side and main dishes we had questions for. She checked on us several times and what I believe is the owner stopped by to say hello. When she saw our complimentary grilled pita slices were low she asked another staff member to deliver more. He also brought us another two of the sauces. One is yogurt based and the other she explained in more depth because I found it unique and delicious. It was made with cilantro, hot peppers, lots of vinegar and I think lemon juice. It was different from anything sauce I've ever had and I loved it. A condiment jar on the table had sumac in it. We sprinkled that on our pita which added a citrus flavor. Also sprinkled on everything else we ate to get a full feel for the spice. I wouldn't mind putting it on just about anything! Their food philosophy is designed to share and share we did. The first dish, a fried eggplant in tomato sauce was recommended by Chelsey. It was a good dish to scoop and eat up with the delicious grilled pita points. I favored the Dolmeh myself: vegetable, rice, special herbs wrapped in grape leaves topped with pomegranate sauce. They were similar to Greek dolmades but these were served warm. They offer enough wines by the glass as well as specialty cocktails to satisfy your drink appetite. I was pleased with the LA VIEILLE FERME rosé from French. It was well balanced with fruity aromas and a smooth finish. They served it in a large wine class with a good big pour. My adult daughter had the Anar Sour made with bourbon/laphroaig, pomegranate syrup, lemon also served in a large wine glass filled to the top. Our main entrees were a lamb and shrimp dish served with the most wonderful saffron basmati rice I've ever eaten. Each dish comes with a side that you can substitute with a different rice, beans or grains from the side/substitute part of their menu. The large lamb shank cooked with Persian lime, turmeric, dill was tender and flavorful. It came with fava bean saffron basmati rice. My daughter doesn't like fava beans so they omitted it and on her request served mostly plain basmati with a few saffron threads on top. My shrimp kabob cooked with saffron, orange zest and pistachio basmati rice is a dish I will long remember. It was excellent. The shrimp were grilled with a slight char served on the place along the rice. Oh that rice was heavenly. Each strand of rice was perfectly separated and infused saffron and orange. It was exquisite. Who would have thought I had room for dessert? I couldn't resist with so many unique options. With Chelsey's help I decided on the puff pastry filled with custard and whipped cream, topped with sour cherry. A cappuccino along with dessert was a good way to end a memorable dining experience. The restaurant staff is very personable, receptive and all around nice while still being professional. I can't wait to return.

    This is a classy, yet affordable restaurant with great food and ambience. There is a parking garage next door and they validate your ticket. The food came out piping hot and was plentiful. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend

    Chicken Kabob
    Carlos C.

    Medi is located in an office building very close to the White Plains Metro North train station. It is not necessary in the "heart" of the downtown White Plains Mamaroneck Avenue area but very accessible by both car and foot. The restaurant is very beautifully decorated and even though in the building lobby, the artwork and ambiance is very pleasing. Medi offers a great variety of Persian food delights including Kabobs, Rices and other delicious foods and options. The service is top notch, very attentive and professional. The wait staff are very friendly and familiar with the menu options, so if you are not familiar with Persian food, they will not steer you wrong. The only shortfall is that $30 plus for a kabob dish can be interpreted as pricey. Perhaps the great service, wonderful atmosphere and delicious food make up for the slightly elevated prices?

    Absolutely incredible. We had a chance find while searching on Yelp and were so pleasantly surprised. The eggplant paste appetizer with the lamb shank are an absolute must have. It may not be easy to find the place from the street as it's inside what looks like an office building. But it's right through the lobby. You can just park in the office building parking and they will validate the tocket for you. Adding a menu photo here since we couldn't see a full shot on other pics.

    Persian ice cream with saffron, rose water, and pistachio
    Neenah C.

    Amazing Persian food in an elegant dining set up. Persian ice cream is amazing. You can park in the same building and have the parking ticket validated by the security person in the lobby. It's nice to be able to dine without worrying about parking time. Entrance to the parking is on S Lexington avenue.

The stuffed feta dates were the good balance of sweet and savory, and the eggplant dip was incredibly smooth and rich without feeling heavy. A little extra seasoning could go a long way with the dip! For mains, the salmon was beautifully cooked and well-seasoned, and the lamb shank was a standout--tender, deeply flavorful, and comforting in the best way. The falafel had a great crisp on the outside while staying soft inside. You can really tell they put care into each dish. What made the night extra special was the birthday surprise: the sweetest baklava presentation that felt so warm and personal. It was such a thoughtful touch. We also ended the night with cappuccinos, hot chocolate, and an affogato (not pictured), which were the perfect cozy finish. Overall, Shiraz Kitchen strikes a great balance between elevated and welcoming. It's the kind of place that feels just as right for a celebration as it does for a relaxed dinner. Would absolutely come back.

The service is very attentive. Right when we sat down the host gave us water which was nice. The waiter was a little too attentive, kept coming up to us to ask if we were ready to order when we were not, and just kept coming and coming every two minutes. They give complimentary flat bread which is tasty. Our Persian friend mentioned usually Persian restaurants give the bread with herbs and feta rather than just plain. We did find on the menu the herbs and feta was an extra cost. We had the kebab combo and subbed cherry rice and salad (which is cucumbers and tomatoes) and also exchanged the ground chicken kebab for a chicken breast kebab. The standout was the steak kebab and the cherry rice. There were so many cherries in the rice, and it was both sweet and savory. I couldn't stop eating it. The steak was super juicy and well seasoned. I also really like the roasted tomato on the side, basil and pickled cabbage. We ordered a stew, think it was Ghormeh sabzi. It had a bunch of herbs in it, and beans and a dried lime. Was told not to eat the lime. It was a very strong and rich stew, I took a couple of bites. Don't think I could have eaten the whole thing. It's very strong. It's our friend's favorite Persian dish and she loved it. There was one dish we wanted that they ran out of but they gave us a couple of dollars off the bill which was nice. Overall excellent food! Would come back.

Even as a Persian, I have never had that rice before.Somehow, and it quickly became delicious.And I immediately text my mom and asked her why she had never made it for me lol We also got ghormeh sabzi which as I told my friends can be hit or miss in flavor and if they would actually like a stew like this. They both actually enjoyed it, and I thought it was pretty close to my mom's recipe. The only sad thing was that we ordered tahdig but the table next to us had ordered 2 large plates and they had no more, which was odd given it was only 1pm and the restaurant opens at 11am. Overall good experience, love that they played Persian music to give it a real deal feel. Will be back!

Their wine list is extensive and interesting. They don't have everything on it, but that's okay, we had a fun Artadi wine from Spain - a winery we've been to, which was what I was going for on the list. The cocktails didn't speak to me, but that's okay, persian cocktails can be great or confused. These seemed more on the confused side. The fresh herbs were served as an app, and they were great.

However I may just be extremely partial to our own ghormeh sabzi at home. The cornish game hen kabas were out of this world! sooooo juicy! Definitely worth a visit - you'll enjoy it - but I don't know if tahdig and ghormeh sabzi here are the way to go.

The falafel was perfectly crisp with a slightly smoky outer crust that added really great texture and flavor. A bit dry tho -- Needed the hummus and Mezze Platter to dress it up a little. Salad was refreshing, crispy and a great palette cleanser across the table. The combo platter + mixed rice was fabulous. Chicken was tender and came right off the bone (something I'm new to but it was good!). It came with a side of tzatziki and persian zhoug (?) - a minty and herby chutney that just added another layer to the aromatics of the dish. Although the rice was great, it was a really large portion even for the group of 5. It would've been nice to have the option to split to a half portion of vegetables or different grain to balance quantity. Overall 8.9/10 - Definitely worth a visit with a group for business dinner or catching up on a friend's night out. The service is great, everyone is super attentive and you can really feel that the food with made with love. So glad I tried this place and I'll be back to give their dolmeh and dessert a taste!
