Was excited about the menu options but honestly disappointed with the food. Taste was bland, presentation was basic and I think for the prices, I expected a little more. Also, having made a big deal of the dishes being GF, why bring the tzatziki with bread on the same dish! AND then tell me to avoid the bread! No kidding π
I gave only 4 hearts for safety because even though they knew about my gluten allergy, both my appetizer and dinner came with pita bread on the plate, so that’s not great in terms of cross contamination for me, but others may not be as sensitive to it. Loved the food itself though, and there are so many gf options to choose from! Falafel is in its own fryer and safe. However, I was informed that the sushi is not guaranteed to be gluten free so I stayed away from that menu. The saffron rose water ice cream (which is the reason I wanted to try this place!) and most of their desserts are NOT gluten free. They only had one cake that was, which I did not get.
Shiraz is a terrific restaurant through and through, from the modern yet comfortable decor and seating, to the tantalizing array of food on offer.
They take allergies very seriously, almost the entire menu could be adapted or was naturally gluten free!
I visited during Sunday brunch, where there was a plethora of Persian-fusion brunch dishes from the Feta Shakshuka, gourmet steak and eggs, to the wonderful array of pita, labneh and falafel!
I appreciated that the accompanying drinks menu offers a wide array of options, with the option of a timed mimosa brunch experience.
If you are looking for authentic Persian cuisine, crafted with talent, heart and passion you will certainly enjoy your time at Shiraz!
P.S excellent wine list!!!
Food is delicious and unique! the stews are amazing. Server seemed concerned about allergies and fairly knowledgeable about ingredients.
Amazing food!! The kabob is delicious and the house made saffron ice cream is so yummy! Highly recommended.
Everything is pretty much naturally gluten free always amazing and such a nice staff
