Great Persian style restaurant. Delicious food, verity of delicious kabobs and fancy/flavorful Persian appetizers. The Persian rice was very Royal and exceptional. beautiful rooms and sitting indoor and outdoor. Take out and dine in. Open 7 days a week. huge shared parking lot in the back . Nice customer service, Thank you Volga for your quick, professional and helpful service. Main Entrance from the alley right off the parking lot.

Have been going here for years but it’s getting worse every time I go. The waiter pulled out his phone in the middle of taking our order, then I wasn’t surprised when my order was wrong, but then he got defensive when mentioned the mistake. The food as always was great but Get it together Shiraz!

Amazingly delicious food and appetizers they have riched the high point and put did Rafis Place with was know for the best kabob but Shiraz out did Rafis ba far there place and for is incredible I had it today and I will for sure be a regular there. Compliments to the Chef or Chefs and everyone that works there. Thank you so much. If you have tried it you have to at least once and youll see what I mean. 👌

Very nice place, beautiful outside sitting place with beautiful Mediterranean music, very good, better kababs and much less crowded than that hell place called Raffi place.

Wait staff went above and beyond to accomodate a large party. Service was excellent 5*. Food was good and came out in a timely manner. would go back and recommend

Authentic delicious Mediterranean food, friendly and professional staff and good deals for group events.

Absolutely delicious!!! I had a lamb dish on skewers, dont remember the name, but Im considering driving back to Glendale from Mid-City LA for their food. Plus...the outdoor seating area is so lush and well shaded. Love this place! If Id gotten there sooner I wouldve have dined there. Next time!

Very good kebabs and fessenjun! Portion sizes are mammoth, so prepare to share - each entree serves 1.5 to 2 people.

I was looking for a mediterranean restaurant and found that place. The food was so delicious and great especially Fesenjān. Also, the food was not that expensive. Great service and food. Highly recommended to Mediterranean food lovers.

Really good food, lovely outdoor seating, and just an all out pleasant atmosphere.

I LOVE THAT THEY HAVE OUTDOOR DININGLOVE THIS PLACEFOODIS AMAZING 💙

Im always looking for some great kabobs and this is one of my favorite places. Beautiful inside as well. Friendly staff.

Let me be honest with you, unlike other reviews. Portion is good, tomatoes tasty and bread is not bad. Thats all there is to this place. Menu was expensive. Kebabs were dry. In the rice there were pieces small tahdeeg(not the tasty ones) server was ok but food was not. Koobideh and barg was awfully dry. Now if you never had kebabs before this might taste ok with you. But for a kebab fan this was just horrid. We decided to try this place because the prices on their google map looked cheap but to our surprise that was the price from 15 years ago according to the waiter. If you want to pay 30 bucks for a kebab and 9 bucks for a yogurt just go to the raffi place 5 min away. Food is also pricey but absolutely delicious. (They had nice decoration outside)

I love this place. Great food

Its was very bad experience to go there. Unprofessional waiters.

Absolutely delicious and fantastic care from the employees! You get your money’s worth for sure!

The best Shiraz location. I prefer their chicken entres over their beef..their chicken joojeh boneless is great..nice seating, indoors and outdoors

I dont think I ever left a review for this place, but we liked the food and staff here so much that years ago we had our pre-wedding groomsmen/bridesmaids and family dinner here. The food, service, and music was awesome. The management was also easy to work with on arrangements.

We waited for 20 mins before anyone acknowledged us. We were about to walk out when someone finally talked to us. The food was mediocre. I ordered ghormeh sabzi and it was extremely salty I had a hard time eating it and its one of my favorite dishes. The rice didnt taste fresh and the restaurant looked run down. Im Persian and have been to many different Persian restaurants and this was my least favorite. If I had another option I would go somewhere else. We saw the food reviews so we gave them a try. Our assumption is things maybe went down hill bc of Covid restrictions & losing money but when they charge what they charge and the salt is the main flavor you can taste & service is lacking it definitely makes you rethink going here again. Maybe we went on a bad night Im not sure but definitely wontbe back.

Chelo kabab was tasty!!!!!ghormesabzi too

Not a good quality persian food for the price. Sorry you can do better.

Excellent food and service. Weve been here a few times, great for occasions. A little live dinner music. Dinning inside or out.

One of the best Persian restaurants around. Great tasty foods, appetizers, salds, n desserts. Great service in a comfortable elegant atmosphere.We had the Soltani which is fillet of beef and loule kabob with rice. Rice with sour cherries and barbecue boneless chicken breast. Barbecue eggplants with carmelized onions n cucumber with tomatoes salad.The mango sorbet and mint chocolate desserts were delicious but not too sweet.

This Restuarant is in top 3 for me if we are talking menu . But if your having any kind of party Wedding or anyother this is #1 in my book

What can I say about this place, amazing food! I have been going/ordering food from here for over 20 years! Beef koobideh is a must!

The food is great. The service however, leaves much to be desired which seems to be the case with a lot of restaurants trying to bounce back after COVID restrictions.

Good place to hange out with. More of a family restaurant. Will recommend.

They accomodatated 10 on a moments notice and tended to every request we asked. They have the sense of urgency that long time patrons admire and will continue to admire!!! 💯👌👍 Will be tell other about this place and will be back soon for sure!

The food is absolutely delicious and the restaurant Ambience is fantastic. Very romantic place but before a dinner date go there for lunch and try it out. The lunch specials are fantastic, including a rice dish with pistachios, orange peels, almonds and a taste that is out of this world. Soup or Salad? Try the lentil soup. Its to die for. Parking is convenient and at lunch theres no wait at all. This is my favorite Glendale spot

Great food and service.

Always good. Try the grab (not sure i spelled it properly) the most tender beef you can have.

Good loc for a family lunch or dinner but, the skewer of kevab per dish is not adequate enough!

In my opinion, Shiraz has the best most delicious food . One of the best restaurants in Glendale

The most delicious food always fresh good quality yammy I love Shiraz food.

Everything was delicious! Unfortunately, they do not have the famous Persian cashew ice cream.:(

Came here for the first time and boy did I love it here! I ended up leaking my plate!! I got the Khoresht Bademjam ( eggplant stew) and it was out of this world! It was the closest to the authentic taste Ive ever had in USA.The ambiance is very nice; super cozy. Also quick and courteous service!

I think they most autentic Iranian Food and the restaurant is clean and beuatifuel and the owner and the service are excellent

Food was delicious!! Looks small from the outside but outs very spacious. Great seating areas.

Good food and great service, especially the combo ice cream

I had a party there for 20 people and 4 kids, the kids table was set up separately. First of all we didn’t get all the appetizers that were included in the banquet menu, 2 main salad were missing and I just figured it out when came home and found a copy of the menu. I was very disappointed and it was very embarrassing, because table looked very empty and it was not enough food for 20 people for sure. Second, kids table didn’t have any food at all! Even though they charge for kids same price per person. So if you planning to have a party the make sure you double check everything!Food was good and I like our private room.

Their service has been consistently great for the past 20 years. Never have I had a bitter experience.Thank you Shiraz!

Great service. Delicious Persian food.

Its absurd that this place isnt always packed. The food is amazing. The decor is all new, comfy and very nice ambiance outside. The service is great. Plenty of parking. Walking distance to Americana.If you are looking for Armenian or Persian cuisine in Los Angeles/Glendale area. This is the BEST.

Called at 5:00 to place an order, after placing me on a long hold, finally they said they don’t take orders.

Very bad customer service I will never back again

For the very first time I was extremely disappointed and it was embarrassing how terrible the service was.

This place is our go to place for any family events! Food is also very good(: The service is amazing and I truly appreciate our server Rodrigo. He was very attentive and I truly appreciate the service! They have vegetarian options as well as other options. Unfortunately, they do not serve alcohol but they allow people to bring their own alcoholic beverages.

Placed an order for vegetarian Ghormeh Sabzi, but it came with a huge lamb shank! Called the restaurant but the guy didn’t seem to believe me and didn’t take any responsibility and said everybody has left at 6pm and he can’t do anything. Second time they messed up like this. First time, I let it go but ended up giving the food to someone else cuz I couldn’t eat meat. Zero or below zero customer service or care for clients. Calling the manager in the morning but doubt they’ll help.

This place is amazing for dinner. The brown sauce they cook the chicken in with some crispy rice is absolutely delicious and the orange peel rice is to die for. I went once for lunch and it wasn’t as great as dinner but still pretty delicious.

We ordered sultani kabob and it was very delicious me and my wife enjoyed it much.

I had a wonderful time with my friends. We loved our server because he was fun and made our evening enjoyable. We ordered family style for our first time and we had six in our group.We will return and we would love to dine at the outside patio. Not to mention our food was delicious and you have to try the dessert...

Let me honest here. I was visiting and decided to stop at shiraz for the first time since I always tried Raffi and other restaurants. We ordered kashk bademjoon as an appetizer, shish kabob and chicken breast. I wasnt happy with the fact that they added so much tumeric to play the role for zaferan..it was all yellow covered with turmeric instead.. they didnt add pepper in our dish😣apetizer kashk bademjoon was white color and didnt taste as good as i have tried else where it was tasteless. So i ended up throwing it away to be honest. My aunt didnt finish her plate either. Rice was good but thats not the main concern. Customer service was very good, ut the food wasnt that great...i dont know if the stews and other dishes are good..maybe well try 1 more time and maybe I wont. I will have to see😊😉😝

Great Persian food friendly staff and perfect ambiance

The food was devine. The place was open air and absolutely gorgeous. The service was excellent.

Delicious lamb shank and lovely atmosphere, too. I really enjoyed the quality of food and entertainment at this restaurant. And, the waitresses there were extremely polite and helpful. Highly recommended to those who enjoy Persian food.

I used to work in this place still enjoying the food and their staff are great

Such a rip off. One scewer of boneless chicken for $19.. I could not believe that. The guy said the food price has gone up. This is not up. This is to the sky. How much is the cost of cooking a $2/lb chicken?Which what they sell is not even a lb...If you order to pick up ask for the prices so you dont get surprised or screwed for a scewer .I am in the same business and have a restaurant 4 times bigger than this restaurant and sell the same amount of chicken for 1/4 of the price....I also ordered cherry rice that has the taste of white rice, you had to dig in to it to find a cherry..Thats whay there was no customer at the time I was there when my restaurant is usually at least half full..Good luck guys..

I came for a work event. The restaurant has a parking lot in the back, but when we arrived the gates were locked. We and several people circled the block for 20 mins trying to get in and a couple of people were trying to get out. The place looked like it was trying very hard to be a nice restaurant, but it was slightly run down and there was a bucket in the bathroom for a trashcan. The food was really good, though. I dont often eat Armenian food, but I found it delicious. The staff was as attentive as they could be as we were having a meeting and they could not disturb us much. I have no idea of the pricing, either as I never even saw a menu. Everything had been ordered before hand and was covered by my work.

The food was fabulous. The service, terrible. The waiter was awful.

Writing a review almost seems unfair to me, I am just a too big fan of Raffis and The Lemon Zest, places I have been to a zillion times. Yesterday a friend dragged us for lunch - what a pleasant surprise.From the ambiance, it easily presides over Raffis. I can not wait to see this place in the evenings, so if you are in for a romantic date, this is the place to go.The food was good, the service hard to be found in this otherwise almost empty restaurant (we came in an odd time, I got to add).I would certainly go again - so four stars. For five stars I would have to be ready to make a 30+ min detour, and I am not sure Id do that. Then, I am not the biggest fan of Mediterranean​ food, so this is not the restaurants​​ fault (but I said, its not going to be 100% fair). All in all, the food is good, and I hope that at usual business times youll find an attentive service. If I could, Id give 4,5 stars, so highly recommended.

We always patronize Shiraz restaurant when we have guests or for a special treat. We love the stews. Kebabs are delicious. We always take the extra food home to enjoy later as portions are large. We appreciate that the food is not too salty. The restaurant is quiet and relaxing with lovely chandeliers and linen napkins and table cloths. There is a huge patio for dining el fresco. Plenty of parking, even when busy.

Very tasty Mediterranean food. Great for work events. Servers tend to forget orders and need customer service training.

I constantly arrive buying some food in this place. I enjoy the rapid customer service and well prepared dishes. 5 stars.

Great atmosphere. If you like outdoor dining, youre in luck. Indoor dining as well as a nice patio for dining in fresh air. Food is great and they have a great menu. Service is very good and the employees are very helpful. All in all, a great persian culinary experience. And by the way, plenty of parking in back of the restaurant.

Worst service. Today, we went to order and pick up. The guy who was taking the order, didnt even bother turning around to get our order. We asked several timesbif we could place an order, he kept saying wait, and kept answering phone calls and taking phone orders. We asked him where the washroom is, he said wait! We had to go around and find the washroom ourselves.We came out of the washroom and wanted to ask the guy if he has our order placed and pay for the order, again he said wait. At the end when we complained about his behaviour and his poor customer service, he didnt accept it and didnt even bother to say sorry. He kept saying that he answered our questions.We ended up leaving this place and will never go back.I dont exactly remember the persons name, it was something like Mahan, Maher. He was a tall and slim Persian guy, he was talking Armenian.

Rodrigo was our waiter, he gave phenomenal service. He is very welcoming, prompt and warm hospitality. The food is delicious, had a orange peel, pistachio, almond rice dish with chicken kabob. Also shared a stew with walnuts and pomegranate ( cant remember the names, but these were key words in the description). The ambiance inside is beautiful, large and not noisy. Will gladly go there frequently.

Im not Middle Eastern, but the my friends who are tell me the food is very authentic. All I know is the service is very good and the food seems fresh and very tasty. Plenty of parking behind the restaurant and the restaurants appearance is nice and clean.

Great food good environment. love the outdoor seating.

Great

Nice and clean luxury persian cuisine .Very nice design and perfect place for the events and parties. definitely high recommended .

We love this place we go every year at Christmas for a Christmas party.the food is the chicken is cooked perfectly officials great also they also have a kebab I think its lamb

Fabulous Persian food! A lovely outdoor garden filled with plants for a soothing atmosphere. Every dish was delicious!

Food was Amazing! Staff was amazing!! Loved this place!! It was my first time here and I loved it all! I didnt even take pictures of the food because I got straight to eating it!!

It is a classic place, and they remodeled it, and that was nice. The piano player plays these fun classic middle eastern songs, and always draws a crowd. Youll be making a good move if you go in and try some of their yummy food.

If you are looking for a place to eat Persian food at weekends and you dont want to wait for a long time to be seated, this is your option. Good service, ok food.

Went here for a birthday party and sampled many many dishes. Kebab koobideh was good, as was the amazing dill/cilantro rice (seriously, get that, its awesome). They also had an mashed eggplant with dairy that was super flavorful. Top it all with a delicious hot mint tea. Service was pretty decent.

Persian cuisine. Just another

Food is decent, a little pricey. I would recommend staying away from the salads. I would rather just go to panini cafe.

Beautiful place, great service, nice relaxing music coming in, and later live, serving portions huge and delicious, menu not very extensive, but enough to satisfy most people, main dishes include: lamb, salmon, beef, chicken. A little pricey but worth it. Do not offer alcoholic beverages, but customers are allowed to bring their own, highly recommended!!!

Has the BEST bastani ice cream, just postmated it today.

My brother-n-law is the manager, food is amazing, great music, great everything, you will never be disappointed. Recommended this place highly!

The restaurant offers fresh meditteranian ( Persian mostly) food .They offer live music Thursday through Sunday. They have a large free parking behind the restaurant which is wheelchair accessible. They have a large patio for sitting and also large private rooms for parties. It is a family run restaurant with a second branch in Ventura. Kid and family friendly environment makes it comfortable for private parties or New Year Eve. Though you need advance booking. You have to bring your own alcohol with you as they dont serve alcoholic drinks.

The food was amazing. The service could be better, hence the 4 star rating.

We had dinner at shiraz and, the waitress who is also Persian and very knowledgeable about the food and recommended the best foods to order .. we will definitely come back.

Excellent food and service. Bathroom is clean and well-stocked. Public parking in rear and handicap parking in front.

For what they serve you its overpriced. They are just gonna lose customers if they wanna serve that food for that price .

A really great Persian/Middle Eastern fusion-style restaurant, in the middle of Glendale. Ive attended many family-type events here, and really like it. Several small meeting, and party spaces are available. Prompt service and ample portions via a central-buffet on each table. The lamb dishes and the seasoned and spiced rice followed by delicate pastries and mint tea, are making me hungry writing about them. I cant wait to come back for lunch on the patio, which I understand gets busy, but is really good. BIg FREE parking lot.

We filled the upstairs banquet room last night with 60+ friends and family. Both food and service were top-notch from the moment we arrived. Professional, ultra-courteous, and anticipating guests needs for refills or special requests. In short, awesome!

Best Persian food in LA! The owners are wonderful hosts

This place is extremely dirty & I know from a source that health inspectors are taking bribes from the owner in exchange for an A.99% of inspectors are Armenians and they are taking bribes! Apparently Health department doesn’t care about stuff like this and they allow this to happen.

Wow, quality has really gone down over the years. My family has been coming here for 30 years and Ive been eating their cuisine since I was a toddler. Unfortunately the place has seen better days. I remember coming here a few times a month and the place being packed. Nowadays its empty and I guess thats a sign of the quality and crazy price hike. Food is still okay but nowhere near the olden days. Upside is they have free local delivery which is awesome!!

Excellent Persian food, friendly staff and good atmosphere

Dont go there . Expensive for not so good food. Need to train their servers.

We celebrated my daughters graduation party good persian food

Fantastic food! Staff was extremely patient with our large and chaotic group. Note: They do not serve alcohol here.

Food is a bit to greasy for my liking

Great Persian food with a variety of choices. Great for lunch n dinner n groups with both indoor n outdoor seating. Large portions, great value, n excellent service. Recommend this place.

Great food. Friendly staff. Quick service but youre able to stay as long as you need.

Not a place Id normally go, but was surprised at how nice it was. Good place for company parties if Youre open to trying new things.

Very good food and service
