About Shiraz Restaurant

Let me introduce you to Shiraz Restaurant, a Persian restaurant I like to describe as comforting, flavorful, and quietly confident in what it does. Located at 211 S Glendale Ave, Glendale, CA 91205, this spot feels like one of those places you discover once and then keep recommending to friends who appreciate real food with depth and personality. The moment you walk in, the aroma of slow-cooked spices and grilled meats sets the tone, and from there, everything leans into a warm, welcoming Persian vibe that doesn’t try too hard but still feels intentional. Shiraz Restaurant is the kind of place where you can settle in for a relaxed dine-in experience or keep things easy with takeaway or delivery, depending on your mood, and the outdoor seating adds a nice bonus when the weather cooperates. The menu focuses on halal food and classic comfort dishes, yet it also balances things out with healthy options and small plates that make sharing feel natural rather than forced. I always notice how well the offerings are rounded, with coffee available if you’re lingering, and alcohol, beer, and wine if you’re turning a casual meal into a longer evening. There’s also a private dining room, which makes it easy to imagine small celebrations or low-key group dinners without the noise of a crowded dining floor. What stands out to me most is how Shiraz Restaurant manages to feel both familiar and special at the same time, making it suitable for a quick weekday bite or a slower, conversation-filled meal. Everything here feels rooted in tradition while still fitting seamlessly into the Glendale dining scene, which is probably why it keeps pulling people back in without needing to shout for attention.

Shiraz was an upscale, family friendly Persian restaurant which felt like eating in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding! The food was fresh, authentic and stomach stretching. I loved the lamb and appetizer platter.

Seriously authentic and good tasting food. Options to sit north inside as well as outside. The servers are well informed and have good knowledge of the food they serve, so if you’re not sure, don’t hesitate to ask. The quantity is generous so order accordingly We loved the samplers .

The beef and chicken kabobs were excellent. The variety appetizers were good but lacked flare in presentation and taste . Neither nor our guest are fans of their sweet rice.qay too sweet.I would get plain rice. I prefer pilaf Lebanese / Armenian style. Armenian coffee good desserts lacking. Very comfortable AC on a hot early evening

Tonight was my very first time dining at Shiraz! And it was for my co-worker’s retirement party ! It was a truly amazing , heartfelt and fantastic event ! Other than the love , laughter and memories that my co-workers shared of our beloved co-worker who officially retired today, the dinner dishes of fish , veggies , rice , and dessert were absolutely delicious ! The room was perfectly set up with round tables so we could have lively conversations with our co-workers and also enjoy the wonderful slideshow in honor of our retiring co-worker ! I have to admit that I don’t know what all of these dishes were called since I would have to ask my co-worker who organized this special event ! But I would definitely to come back for a meal because the ambience was so nice and relaxing ! The waiters who served us were really courteous and friendly ! And it also really helped that there is a huge parking lot ???? in the back of the restaurant that is just for Shiraz customers ! The best way to enter the parking lot is from Harvard Street, and it is located at the corner of Harvard Street and Glendale Blvd, right next to Palace Cleaners !

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.
