The modern yet cozy decor is immediately inviting and provides a wonderful backdrop for an after work drink with colleagues, a night out with friends or a great reason to get to the Shiraz Kitchen early before your dinner reservation to enjoy a relaxing glass of wine. The extensive wine list with over 100 bottles and wines by the glass to choose from, is exquisitely curated by owner Reza Parhizkaran and offers a unique selection of rare and hard to find wines along with some classic favorites.

We were impressed with the selection of wines by the glass that offered something for every pallet at very reasonable prices. Alongside the wine list is a selection of creative craft cocktails that add a Persian flair to some of the classics as well as a selection of domestic and imported beers, so there is truly something for everyone. Mr. Parhizkaran narrated the wine list for us sharing his extensive knowledge of each bottle and suggested a robust Bordeaux along with a more subtle Chardonnay.
On our return visit two weeks later, we started with the Crazy Feta which proved to be a unique and tasty spin on a more traditional cheese plate and paired perfectly with our red Bordeaux. The combination of savory feta, sweet halva, poached figs and spicy pepper sauce combined for the perfect bite but also stood alone as individual components on the plate. We also sampled the Arugula Date Salad which was topped with giant walnuts and gorgonzola cheese and served with a deliciously bright fresh dressing. The menu also features a variety of more classic Mediterranean-inspired dips and finger foods that are great for sharing or nibbling on while waiting for a table next door.
