I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shiraz Restaurant, and the experience was truly delightful! The starter was a delicious eggplant dip, I opted for the "Apadana," a mouthwatering combination of skewered lamb steak and minced lamb, accompanied by a refreshing side of olives and salad. The portion size was perfect, and the price was just right.
The atmosphere at Shiraz Restaurant was inviting, and the ample parking spaces in front made it hassle-free. The customer service was top-notch, adding to the overall positive vibe. I'm definitely planning to return; that's how happy I am with my visit. To top it off, I concluded the meal with a traditional tea, enhancing the authenticity of the entire experience.
A solid 5 stars from me – highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional Persian dining experience at Shiraz Restaurant!
Cheers,
Atefeh

We had an amazing dinning experience there! The boss (or the staff, Im not sure) was incredibly friendly and so helpful! We felt immediately welcomed when we walked in. And the food was sooooo delicious! We enjoyed everything we ordered but the mezze (appetiser) really made an impression! It was so beautifully plated and we were offered more bread after he saw us finishing the first basket. We know exactly where to go when we crave Persian food again!

Shiraz Restaurant in Auckland delivers an authentic Persian dining experience that is truly captivating. I recently indulged in their Koobideh and Barg, and the flavors were nothing short of extraordinary. The Koobideh, with its perfectly seasoned ground meat, and the succulent Barg, showcasing tender marinated meat, were a gastronomic delight. The ambiance exudes warmth and hospitality, creating a charming atmosphere for a memorable meal. The staff's attentiveness enhances the overall dining experience, making Shiraz Restaurant a standout destination for those craving the rich and aromatic tastes of Persian cuisine in Auckland.

Nice food and good excellent service!
I like the rice with smoky flavour. The taste of the yogurt was good but also very unique, a mix of salty and sour flavours. It tasted a bit like the salted plum drink, which I liked a lot.

Great food, ambience and service. Shiraz is a small cozy place in St.Heliers with ample parking space around. The owner confirmed that their meat is halal.
We ordered koobideh, which was $32 for a good portion size. The meat and rice was amazingly flavourful. We would like to recommend this small and cute joint to any persian food lovers. Top notch 👌

We were there on their opening day. We didn't get the chance to taste their mains but had Persian icecream that was absolutely delicious in decent portions. The staff were very welcoming, engaging and friendly. The venue is cozy and warm with clean, comfortable dining sets. They have decorated the walls beautifully with their own artworks. Whenever you'll be there ask the staff to share a bit about those artworks. Thanks for the yummy Persian ice-cream. We'll certainly be back for the mains.

Great service and great food. Two of us ordered the glazing platter, it has all the things we want to try. The food is fresh, feels like a lot of hard work and efforts are out into it. We also enjoyed the taste and presentation.
