Dropped in around 1pm on a Friday and the place was empty. The service was great, really nice folks. My Dad wanted to order the sea bass but the waiter told him he was better off trying to order another fish as the sea bass was frozen. We ordered the salmon, Moroccan beef kebab and Yemenite pizza, all flavors were great. Will flag the prices on the website are old, add a min of $5 to everything read more

Kababs tasted very dry. Service was slow. Hummus tasted gooey. Overpriced food. Not worth it. read more

Shiraz - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Great Neck, New York

See all

We tried a delivery as our first experience with Shiraz and were delighted to find the food fresh and tasty. The risk of having food delivered is having it arrive cool and overdone--not here: the chicken and salmon were both warm and tender, aromatic and divine. We ordered the Israeli salad unaware that 2 salads came with our entrees. A little pricey, but you often get what you pay for--looking forward to sitting down and experiencing the full effect!!! read more

Great Persian food here and is a do not miss in great neck, go try everything here, it's awesome

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed with Shiraz. For a Persian restaurant in Great Neck, I expected better. My family held a private party here so everything was served family style. Some dishes were good, others less so. My favorite was the falafel. Delicious. Perfectly cooked. The meats were good too. The white rice was overly dry, but the spinach rice was good. Hummus was fine, salad was fine, and I liked the dolma. Here's the thing, we were supposed to have open bar. 1. Not once did anyone come to take our drink orders. 2. The bartender wasn't there and no one knew how to make any mixed drinks. Don't charge open bar prices if we can get mixed drinks! That wasn't right. That said, the staff was friendly. We had this event rescheduled due to covid and they were good about a last minute change of plans. Overall, it's expensive for what you get (yes, I understand it's kosher so therefore more on the pricier side), and you can get better Persian food elsewhere. read more

Was excited to eat here & took an Uber just for that purpose. When I arrived, only one table of patrons and many grub hub bags ready to be B picked up. The guy at the front talked in a phone for over 5 minutes without any greeting or getting another worker. Finally another employee came, checked his watch and said, 'I guess we can seat you.' He told me to pick my table. So I grabbed menu myself and sat at the table waiting for someone to come. As it occurred, I was looking out the window at a pizza joint. Being quite hungry receiving poor service, I got up and went for pizza. read more

I made a special trip to try this restaurant based upon the good reviews. I wouldn't say terrible, but it wasn't good. Pita bread with the consistency of cardboard. Yogurt sauce that tasted like it came straight out of a jar of tartar sauce with some herbs added. do yourself a favor and skip it. Want to concur with the reviews of how horrible the services is here. read more

Horrible service. I Usually dine at colbeh and regret not doing so tonight unfortunately I was recommended by a friend to try this place and I definitely regret it. Service is trash, staff is clueless and rude. Definitely don't waist your money on this place there are multiple Persian styles restaurants in the area and ALL are better options ( colbeh and chatanoogah are 100% both better options ). This place is the worst restaurant I've ever been to , and before any1 says I'm bashing for no reason look at my reviews for other places I'm always extremely generous with my reviews. read more

Shiraz - Biggest waste of ~$600.00. McDonald's would have been a better choice - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Great Neck, New York

Tasty food. Portions are generous. I wish the staff was friendlier. The room has a nice atmosphere but the service doesn't match. Expected more for the price. read more

Amazing portions. Incredibly friendly staff. The Saffron Chicken Kabob entree is the best thing I've had in the area. The chicken is ridiculously juicy and grilled/charred to perfection. The rice feels so soft in your mouth, it's almost like eating velvet. It balances out the strong and bold flavors of the chicken perfectly. As funny as this may sound, the real MVP of the dish is the roasted tomato. Delicious juiciness. The first time I went, the owner was kind enough to gift us an order of homemade Saffron Ice Cream. I ordered Baklava on top of that and it was so good that I had to buy half a pound to bring home to my family. Every single one of their appetizers are delectable, with the Hummus dip being my favorite. I've been there twice now, but am not opposed to return in the near future. read more

Love this place! Hits the spot each time we go! We love the Cornish hen, fesenjun, and the barg. If you like it hot, be sure to ask for their homemade hot sauce, it's green (lots of habanero I think), but it's mouth wateringly tasty! Service is good too; they remember who we are so that's why I'm giving it a 5! Enjoy! read more

Take it from a real Iranian. Shiraz's food is legit. The price is right for the portions you get. Service is professional and quick. They make you feel like you're eating with family. In fact, the manager frequently goes around to greet everyone and make sure everything is good. I recommend the barg, joojeh, koobideh, and all the stews, especially the ghormeh sabzi and fesenjan. You also can't go wrong with the Moroccan cigars, Olivieh salad, dolmeh, bademjoon, and Shirazi salad. Come here hungry. In fact, always go to an Iranian restaurant hungry. It's also available as an event space in case you're interested in renting out the restaurant for all your family needs. It's fancy yet cozy, so it's great for birthdays, Bar Mitzvahs, and retirement parties. I've come here for all three! #shirazVIP read more

The food is amazing , delicious and fresh. The atmosphere it's lovely very elegant, friendly owner and lovely waiter or waitress. I definitely recommend for amazing Persian cuisine and a lot more in the menu to visit them the price it's very decent for the quality food that they offer, especially for Glatt kosher food. read more

Delicious and very tasty food. Always pleased with the service. The outdoor and indoor seating makes a great ambiance. Great local gem. Take out and Shabbat special menu is on point! Highly recommended. read more

I did a to-go order for my first and only time eating here. The food here has no taste and I would never order here again. My real issue with this place is that they gave me some random appetizer instead of the falafel I ordered. I cannot eat gluten so if I ate that random appetizer listed as falafel (BECAUSE THEY WERE OUT AND NOBODY NOTIFIED ME - this was no an accident) I could have gone to the hospital. Thankfully I had enough sense to realize and called the owner. He apologized for his careless staff's mistake and then told me to call tomorrow to get my money back for the food. I called the next day and left a message, no call back and then again the day after, no call back again. Bottom line, the entire establishment, food and staff are zero stars so dont waste your time or money here. read more

The service was very professional and very good. Our server Milan was nice and friendly, he was very helpful. The manager was very welcoming and nice. The restaurant is very clean and roomy for the crowd. Had a great time. will go back. read more

Not recommended at all. We found some foul things in our food and they over charged us for the food (they have two prices - lunch and dinner but even when you eat lunch they charge you the dinner price which is more expensive). DO NOT GO THERE or you will be sorry. read more

Always great food and service. We generally get a platter to share. The beef is tender, the chicken is flavorful. I love the green rice. My friend loves the orange rice. The eggplant stew is delicious. read more

Delicious food and great service make a restaurant 5 star. Order their Shirin Polo, kebabs and stews are the best of the best.

Never been in such a clean restaurant and the food was excellent highly recommend the lemon chicken was delicious u should try it

Came with experienced regular customer. Was courteously received and seated. Owner brought us tasty, well-seasoned appetizer plate with pita (cold). Then ordered steak and minced-meat kabob (barg), Moroccan style. Both very tasty, also well-seasoned and spicy with lots of rice. Served on giant plates and portions are really double-sized, so took home to finish. No room for dessert. Very expensive. White tablecloth place. I guess for a kosher diner seeking Iranian and Middle Eastern food, this is an occasional good spot. Not sure would return on my own. read more

Mordechai's got the Sauce..... YOU KNOW HES SAUUUUUUCCCEYYYYYYYYY on a real note doe, sometimes i dream of drizzling white sauce all over my kebab, colbeh dont got nothing on here. the barg is ATISH BH' shmidz read more

Besides the amazing food and huge portions, the real kicker is the phenomenal customer service.

Would not recommend very hard to work with and takes advantage. Over charges and seems to make up prices, buyer beware

If you want to end up dead or in the Hospital then go eat here. 4 People that I know got food poisoned here on 4 different occasions including myself. They do not throw away old food and do the recycling game to save $$$. Ownership does not care because they know that even the health department can't prove that the illness started in this restaurant. People like this should not be in the food business. If you are too cheap to throw away food and can't understand the concept of maintaining appropriate temperature so food doesn't spoil before you serve it then go do something else with your life! read more

The tables have litre bottles of Poland Spring. When we asked for more water the waiter kept bringing out bottles. When the check came, I was charged $30 for 6 bottles of water. Since we were a big party the tip was included. They also had the nerve to not only charge up the tip to include the tax but also rounded the tax and tip up to the nearest dollar. I'm sure the NY State tax department would like to know this. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Came here with a friend. At first the two of us were looking at the menu and were not quite sure what anything was. The bar tender, who turned out to be the owner, came over and told us what everything was. Eventually we ordered. The food was delicious! When I woke up the next morning, my tummy was still full of food :-D This place is really clean, and the staff are friendly. Be sure to come there and be starving, because the food really is that good! Oh, and try the tea. It's a nice finishing touch to the meal. read more

Had an amazing time here. The food is wonderful and provides a true authentic taste of the Middle East. The pricing is great for the delicious food you get. One of my favorite things about Shiraz is the wine selection. I can see myself coming here very often, it was truly a wonderful and refreshing dining experience. read more

love this place. the food is very authentic & most important tasty. i been here with my wife & friends more then 5 times & intent to continue visiting this place. read more
