This was our third visit to Shiraz Restaurant, and the food has been amazing every single time! Everything we've tried, including the appetizers, has been delicious. Our server, Amanda, is always so friendly, attentive, and continually checks in to make sure we have everything we need. On our most recent visit, we also had the pleasure of meeting the owner and learned that Shiraz has been a family-owned business for 32 years. It was wonderful speaking with him and hearing more about their story and how important quality, food, and great service are to their family. I highly recommend giving Shiraz a try! The restaurant is also very spacious, so if you're planning a large gathering or party, they can easily accommodate bigger groups. Great food, great service, and a wonderful family-owned business! read more

I ordered chicken breast and beef lule. The food smelled disgusting. Beef lule smelled awful no one touched it. The rice they send with the meat was old rice . Looked like they scraped from other plates and send it. I was embarrassed in front of my guests.. don't waste money ! read more

We ordered takeout from Shiraz while visiting my parents and the whole family loved it. The kabobs were excellent and the Sultani was a real hit -- even my little ones cleaned their plates. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. The restaurant itself is really nice, and the owners/staff made us feel so welcome. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests. Looking forward to bringing the family back next time we're in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Had such a great experience here! Came here for the first time for dinner on Sunday and was very pleased by the decor and ambiance of the place. They have a nice indoor area with a small stage for when they have live music, but what caught my eye was the beautiful patio with so much green and string lights-- I loved it! Our server was very friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious and portion sizes were also great. We ordered a Tahdig to share and it was enough for the 4 of us, and we got it with half Ghormeh Sabzi and half Gheymeh, both were very tasty. One of us ordered the trout and didn't like it very much unfortunately because it was a bit dry. However, I got the Beef Koobideh Kebab, and let me tell you-- it was SO GOOD. I have always loved Beef Koobideh and it's always my go-to order at Persian restaurants, and this one had to be one of my favorites. Also, there is no corkage fee! Prices here are good too, I will definitely be returning!! read more

We have never been here but friends, one of whom is Iranian, suggested we come here as they love the food here and so we said great! We came around 5:30 with a reservation but didn't need one as it started getting busy around 7 when we were ready to leave. We sat at an indoor table that appeared to be right next to an area that probably for private parties but not sure. My salmon kebab was a 10-star, just delicious. My wife had an appetizer combo plate that she loved and took lots home for lunch and/or dinner the next couple days. We will be coming back and turning friends who haven't been here on to this restaurant. Oh, and free underground parking right next to the restaurant. read more

My wife and I order Shiraz at least once a week. We believe the flavor quality and overall home-cooked taste is better than all the other local Iranian restaurants. We are the type of people who analyze every aspect of the flavors and I have to say that the food is very delicious. Every time we order I say this taste like my mom's cooking. Thank you Shiraz restaurant. I have to mention that the ghormeh sabzi is phenomenal. Also we love that they provide sabzi and fresh onion with every meal. Thank you! read more

Food is solid. Had a nice spread of items via a work luncheon. Everything was delicious and fresh. I cannot comment on portion size, pricing, parking, ambience, or service. If you're into sour cherry rice, they have a pretty good one. read more

Had an event hosted here over the weekend and they made it so perfect! Great food, great service, great communication and a gorgeous garden area for parties. Shout out to Reza for helping make it a smooth and seamless event experience! read more

Lunch here today 6.7.25 My goodness, haven't been here since the 90s, I was floored! The makeover, set up, decor, ambiance galore. They've expanded this restaurant, roomier and with patio seats added as well. What can I say? Gorgeous! Service right away, very much well attended, from the host to the wait staff. Great service, drum roll.....food EXCELLENT! As always ! Never ever a disappointment. This is the only Persian restaurant I've known in the valley like forever ! I'm happy to be back and happy that it's been a success for them as well. We ordered eggplant stew and my always favourite barg! Perfectly cooked and delicious ! My Saturday is fulfilled! Thank you read more

We have been going here as a family for many years. Food is always delicious and the portions are quite large. The owner greeted us and the servers have always been nice. read more

This is the first time I've brought my family here. I usually dine alone during my lunch break. I'd say this is the only restaurant that has treated me so well. When I eat out alone, I rarely receive such excellent service from the staff. The food here is fantastic, my favorite is the Beef Kobideh and i particularly love the house salad paired with their Italian dressing. I even asked if they're selling their Italian dressing because it was so delicious, haha. The ambiance is elegant, making you feel like you're in a five-star dining restaurant. I also love their outside seating. However, the prices are reasonable. I want to express my gratitude to the owner and staff for their kindness and delicious food. read more

Ordered from here a few weeks ago for lunch and WOW, was it good. I grew up eating Persian style kabob and have my favorite places in LA but the chicken luleh literally blew my mind it was so juicy, and seasoned perfectly. We will definitely be ordering again! read more

My wife and I have dined in at Shiraz Restaurant many times with both family and friends, and we've also catered family-style from them on several occasions. Every single time, Reza has gone above and beyond to treat us with kindness and exceptional service. The food is always fresh, high-quality, and incredibly flavorful. Whenever we've catered from Shiraz, our guests consistently rave about how delicious everything is. From the Kabob Barg, Beef Koobideh, and Joojeh Kabob (Boneless Chicken) to the Tadig, White Fish, Fesenjoon, Noon Panir Sabzi, Mast-o-Moosir, and Mast-o-Khiar -- every dish is made with care and authenticity. We've ordered from many restaurants across California, and we're so grateful to have Shiraz right here near us. Every catering order has been perfectly timed and ready for pick-up exactly when promised. In a city like LA with endless dining options, if you're looking for fresh food, top-tier quality, and outstanding service, I highly recommend Reza and Shiraz Restaurant. Thank you for always being so hospitable and consistently delivering excellence for me, my family, and our guests. read more

My family and I love Shiraz! We've been coming here for years. We had my grandfather's memorial lunch here and Reza took the best care of us. The food is delicious and the staff is very welcoming. Thank you Reza! - Farnaz read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, beware. So I took my family and sister and mother to this establishment today to celebrate Mother's Day, and everything we had was over cooked and burnt. The service was the only thing that was normal here. The server was very nice and helpful. But the problem comes when I approached the manager to pay for the bill. So I act like I go to the restroom and he bring me the bill and I pay it off and leave a little tip on top... upon leaving I approach him to call the server so I can tip him extra cash, and he tells me that he wants me to pay an extra 70$ for tip. I asked him why he didn't include it in the bill or tell me when I paid the bill, he had no response... just a heads up, super shady owner, who tries to take advantage of people who look like they have money or anything. You've been warned. read more

Not only is the food amazing but Mr. Reza is absolutely wonderful. He's so accommodating and always making sure his customers are happy and leaving with a full tummy! My favorite Persian restaurant in the Valley for sure! read more

Food was great. Service was excellent. Ambulance was pretty ok. The price was too high. Yogurt is $11. That is insanely expensive and would make me think twice before I go back. read more

We went in as a large party with multiple checks and EVERYTHING was great. Food was amazing. Reza helped us and he was a delight, as usual. Support staff were also so helpful with whatever we needed. They turned on the music toward the end of our stay and it was great...maybe with the volume down slightly. Overall, best Persian food in the valley. And equally as important, absolutely wonderful service! Will return soon. read more

Food is good. The meat is tender, juicy and fresh off the grill. The peppers were a little undercooked, all the side dishes were fresh and tasty. Hummus, Babaganoush, shirazi, mast o' moosir, borani, mast o'khiar, eggplant kaviar, salad, Mirza, All complemented when you eat it with the meat and sabzi plate ( mint, sliced onions & radish). We ordered beef koobideh, beef soltani and chicken to share. Also had fesanjan with chicken, and albaloo (sour cherry) rice. Service is perfect, polite and attentive. The place is very nice and quiet. It's a good place for family dinners. read more

We always order takeout or delivery from Shiraz in Sherman Oaks, and it's consistently excellent. We usually go for their Persian stews -- they're absolutely delicious!

I ordered food from this restaurant for pickup from Yelp, after arriving they told me that I already picked up my food. I showed them my receipt and order but they called me a liar and embarrassed me in front of their customers, I had to reach out to Yelp customer service to get a refund and I placed an order there again but still they didn't apologize for giving my food to someone else without checking and accusing me of lying. Do yourselves a favor and !!!stay away!!! Extremely rude and disrespectful workers. I had to wait for 30 minutes to get my food and it was prepared quickly because the chicken was burnt on the outside. read more

Beautiful restaurant with very pleasant ambiance. Very good and friendly service. The food is absolutely top notch! I especially enjoyed the beef kababs. They were tender, juicy and perfectly flavored. The lentil soup should not be missed, it is the perfect condiment to anything they serve. I highly recommend! read more

10/10 would recommend. Saw lots of take-out orders going out when I brought my friend here for Valentine's Day to help her beat the blues. They have a lovely setting, gorgeous glass mugs for chai & the portions are family sized, so I recommend phoning in support to finish your meals. We had the Tahdig, Mast o' Khiar with fresh Pita & Ghormeh Sabzi. We were only two people & we took most of it to-go! We planned to order more & just start with that, but we filled up so quickly! I've had the Adas Polo, Koobideh, Shirazi Salad, Luleh & Fessenjan - all fantastic plates! I do enjoy the food & the service was excellent, but we had the place to ourself, so I can't speak on more than that isolated experience. I've otherwise ordered take-out. I recommend the dishes as the flavors & portions are excellent. This is a great place & we plan to dine here with them again in the future! read more

Delicious! I have always ordered it for big party catering and everyone loves it. The food is always fresh and delicious.

Horrible service! I'm not sure if she was management , but she was so rude and blamed me for her incompetence. I'm sorry you can't look and behave like an ogre . I'm counting down the days it goes under . read more
