    We ordered food today from Miraj Restaurant for a group of around 10-12 people, and everything was absolutely delicious. The quality of the food was excellent, portions were great, and everyone in our group really enjoyed it. The flavors tasted authentic and fresh, and the service was smooth even for a larger order. I highly recommend this restaurant to all Iranians visiting or living in the area!

    A friend of mine who has been dining at Mirage for almost 20 years brought us there when we tagged along for his birthday celebration recently. We came away understanding completely his loyalty and affection for this place -- friendly, flavorful food, and beautiful presentation all around. A few things to note. Except if you're there on a Saturday evening for dinner and belly dancing, it's not a formal place. Their decor is simple -- where the artfulness and style comes is with the cuisine. Also, we were there on a Wednesday night, so it was very quiet. Weeknights could be a good opportunity to experience their kitchen and service at their most attentive. We started with a hummus appetizer, which was delicious -- rich, creamy texture and served with a drizzle of olive oil, pita wedges, and savory feta cheese. Things just got better with dinner. I ordered their Barg -- a cut of filet mignon seasoned with saffron and grilled, served with their basmati rice. It came at just the temperature I expected and was so good I resisted finishing it so I could have some the next day! But the best dish at the table was the boneless lamb kabob my fiancee ordered. Best flavor, best presentation, best sides -- our server recommended it and it did not disappoint. Finally, the staff surprised the birthday boy with some of the most delicious vanilla bean ice cream any of us have tasted. It was the perfect end to a perfect dining experience. Can't wait to go back!

    Mirage is such a hidden gem! I stumbled upon it while visiting Clearwater, and it ended up being the best Persian food I've ever had. I'm still dreaming about everything I ate that day, and I honestly can't wait to go back!

    This was the first time I've ever visited the Mirage Restaurant and I have to say, it was an amazing experience!! Upon entering, we were greeted by friendly staff that was very hospitable to us!! We were sat at a table immediately. Our server, Ilona, was also extremely friendly, helpful as well with menu selections. The food was served efficiently and was plated beautifully!! Food was hot and had amazing flavor!! The restaurant was very simple which was fine and had an exciting live belly dancing performance!!! I look forward to visiting again soon!!! Excellent work from everyone to make a great experience!!! Highly recommend!!!

    Mirage in Clearwater is a true gem. The food here is absolutely amazing. If you're craving Persian food, this is hands down the spot to visit.

    I don't usually give 5 star reviews unless it's a very good restaurant. This is one of them. I came here with my family. The waiter is friendly and nice. The restaurant is clean, parking is spacious and there is ground deck which I really like. We chose Buffet option cuz you can choose menu or buffet. The food is delicious and spectacular. The beef ground kebab is tender and chewy. There are various rice dishes and I love it the one with cashews and carrots. The dish I enjoyed the most is some green bean and noodle soup. That's one of the best soup I tried recently. Highly recommend this place.

    As distance runners, Mirage is definitely one of our go to places to eat after long runs! We love to load up on the different proteins, rice, and salads. And of course, plenty of baklava! The servers are friendly and the restaurant is pretty spacious and clean. Come hungry! You won't regret checking this place out!

    Delicious basmati rice

    This place is incredibly welcoming, with excellent staff who make you feel right at home. The buffet includes a wide variety of Persian cuisine, offering authentic flavors. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in experiencing delicious Middle Eastern food.

    How much is the lunch buffet?

    Was about 25-27$ each for lunch. Can't remember if we went Saturday ( weekend costs more ) for exact same buffet

    Do they still have?

    Was there 1 week ago. Buffet is alive & well. Always delicious. We drive 1 hour to eat here once a month! Love it

    Is there a difference in buffet food offerings depending on if you go on a weekend vs weekend? Or between weekend lunch vs dinner?

    Same items weekday lunch & weekend lunch. But weekends costs more. Never tried the dinner but heard the only difference is you get a belly dancer for entertainment & prices are higher

My friend had a chicken swarma pita and I had a custom bowl. It is an excellent concept. The bowl starts with two bases. I opted for spring greens and quinoa, but there are several choices including rice if preferred . Then one can choose up to eight different items , a sauce and then on to protein choices. My falafel was cooked while I waited. It was very tast and not as dry as some I've tried. The bowl was 12.95 and was enough for two meals for me. My friend said the sandwich was excellent and she managed to finish it. Service was good, people were friendly and the place was very clean. It is a cafeteria style but not too busy. Definitely worth a return visit to try all the options. There are also wraps on offer and kebabs. And I did notice while I was waiting for my falafel that the place serves only halal meat if that is important to you. As a vegetarian I found plenty of fresh options. I recommend this place.

LOL. No. So I went hunting for another place, and I found East Bistro! I was driving over to Sprouts in Largo & saw it as I passed it! I made a quick U-turn & right into the parking lot I went... Right away I spot their tandoori clay oven right in the back & they have two shawarma spits right up front that smell so delicious OMG! :)... So I get some of the beef shawarma on top of the hummus... I have not had it like this before but WOZA! That is some good stuff baby! I ate almost all of it by myself. LOL I also got the Chicken kabobs. They were cooked perfectly. Nicely charred on the outside & tender & juicy on the inside, seasoned perfectly. Can not wait to order both of these dishes again OuiOui. The super surprising thing is that you get two sides with your 2 kabob platter plus rice & salad. I got the tabouli & hummus. It also comes with fresh made pita that they also make in house, which is fabulous OuiOui. But their tabouli. WOZA! Their tabouli is the best I have ever had. They make theirs with, I'm guessing, white vinegar? It's super tangy & very fresh tasting. Very pungent. Magnificent OuiOui. When I took some home for Sir Hubbers, I didn't say anything & all of a sudden he started raving about the Tabouli also. LOL Their dine in is super cute, but very small, it's mostly a take out place, everything on paper plates for dine in, which was fine. Everything is reasonably priced, entrees under $19! They bake all their own breads, make everything from scratch. And the tabouli, is a MUST ORDER OuiOui. Added to my lists of fave restaurants in the Tampa/St Pete area OuiOui.

Finally he appeared & we ordered the small chicken shawarma wraps. The gentleman replied we could not have chicken shawarma wraps today. I laughed & we ordered a beef shawarma wrap, a falafel wrap, & a side of baba ghanoush, & 2 waters. We sat for 23 minutes, lol. I told my wife this is turning into such a bad experience. Finally the man showed up with the wraps. I mentioned we also ordered waters & baba ghanoush. He seemed confused but brought them out. A moment later I sank my teeth into some of the most delicious beef shawarma I've ever had. The shop owner was from Egypt & his beef had been marinated in warm spices like cinnamon. It was unexpectedly excellent. Then I tried the baba ghanoush. Wow!! It was not the usual flavoring that I love. It was totally unique & also excellent. It also had a tiny bit of heat in it from a chile pepper. Finally, the falafel was way above average, tasting so great. Anyway, I was ready to give Zalabia one star, but it always comes down to the food. And the food was 5 stars.
