Diner Reviews
  • "We found this place on Open Table and wanted to give it a try as we hadn't tasted Persian food ever. The ambience was good and the waitress was very friendly. She had good knowledge of the menu items and could suggest good combinations. The food was tasty, though some if then were oily. Not sure how prompt the service would be during rush hours, as they have only one waitress. We were there during light hours and food came very quickly."

  • "Great authentic Persian cuisine, I really enjoyed dining with my foodie buddy. We have planned to visit Shiraz again in 2 months. Got to try their pizzas next time. |We had a great conversation with the Owner, who served us and was also the chef, great guy with lots of passion for life as well as in his cooking. It is a must eat place in Calgary."

  • "Shiraz gets 2 thumbs up. Thus is the second time here for us, the first being Valentine's Day. Thus time was an 8 person party and the staff (personable, knowledgeable, customer-oriented (imagine!) brings the group together by educating about the foid and history of (then) Persia. The overall experience made me feel like I was travelling. Unique, fun, good food, afforable -- even with a glass of wine."

  • "Shiraz offered us a great food experience and very friendly service for a great price but was quite loud which was taking away from the experience. "

  • "My wife and I went for dinner with high expectations, but were somewhat underwhelmed. We sat for about 10 minutes before being served. We then had the appitizer platter, which was good (our favourite item was the eggplant dish). For the main course we had the Shiraz Special, which although good, was just a plate of plain rice with a few yellow grains of rice sprinkled on top (which they called Saffron rice?). This was served with another shared plate of 3 types of grilled meats (chicken, tenderloin, and ground meat). Overall, we just found the flavour and presentation mediocre."

  • "We visited Shiraz for a Mother's day dinner and can't say enough good things about it. The atmosphere was great, the food was superb and everything about it was just nice. I would suggest anyone visit and try the food. I had the spicy chicken dish and it was amazing. The big variety appetizer is quite tasty as well."

  • "We really enjoyed our dinner at Shiraz a few weeks ago with another couple. As this was our first time at Shiraz, the owner took the time to explain some of the main dishes - the ingredients as well as how they were made. We took their suggestion and ordered the eggplant appetizer, the Tour of Persia platter for 3 plus an order of the lamb. Everything was amazing and presented with pride. We already talked about going back and trying some of the other dishes. The eggplant appetizer and pomegranate stew were exceptional although as said we thoroughly enjoyed it all. Highly recommend Shiraz to anyone who appreciates great food and service."

  • "Average quality for the food. I wasn't told that my coffee refill would be an additional $3.00. The waitress was very courteous, but unfortunately she was the only one on the floor for the busy lunch crowd. Took forever to get my bill."

  • "I haven't been to the restaurant in a while, but wanted to introduce my friend to a great place to eat and they didn't disappoint. Even though it was a busy Valentines Day, we were seated quickly and the food came fast. Tasty as usual with their casual and warm service. It was a pleasurable evening. Loved the saffron ice cream too. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem."

  • "We were three person went for lunch to the restaurant. I am Persian and wanted to introduce Persian Cuisine to my friends. We ordered "Persian Tour", a mix of almost all good foods, and everyone loved it. The manager was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very well decorated and quiet. It is a bit pricey but I think it's worth. Will go there again soon."

  • "We happened upon Shiraz a few months ago and had an amazing dining experience. We have been back multiple times since then because the food, service and friendliness are all outstanding. The food is authentic and delicious and everything we have tried has been fantastic. The eggplant dip to start is a must, as is the homemade icecream to finish. The lambshank pizza is superb, as is everythnig else we have tried, like the pomegranite stew! The owner and staff are very helpful in making suggestions for those of us not familiar with Persian food, and we have loved everything they have suggested. It is just a wonderful family atmosphere. I am going back again tonight!"

  • "Couldn't be more pleasantly surprised with our dining experience at Shiraz! Decor is classy, restaurant is clean, prices are fairly reasonable (especially the appetizers), very impressed with the food and even more so with the service! The friendly owner and the very knowledgeable waitress did an excellent job of making us feel welcome and staying attentive. The rose water pistachio ice cream is absolutely to die for!!"

Our waitress was very knowledgeable and the owner ( her Dad I think ) came out to chat. His advise about the food was very helpfull. We will certainly be back."

  • "We went as two families with variant interests & tastes. We were all satisfied including children. What was remarkable is the warm personal touch of the Owner, a charming gentleman, who added a pleasant personal touch throughout our dining. Prices are very much reasonable. I strongly recommend it for those good tasters and also those who seek professional advice prior to ordering their dish."
