Succulent grilled meats, aromatic stews, and flavourful vegetarian dishes define the traditional Persian offering at Shiraz on Cowley Road. Popular choices include the Momtaz, featuring a skewer of marinated chicken fillet and a skewer of minced lamb kebab, and the classic Chelo Kebab Koobideh with two skewers of finely minced lamb. Diners also praise the Kashk-e-Bademjan, a delicious aubergine dip, and hearty Ash Reshteh soup. Generous portions of saffron rice often accompany main courses, with many dishes brightened by pistachios and sweet barberries. For an authentic taste of Iran, explore their range of khoresht (stews), such as the lamb-based Ghormeh Sabzi or the Gheimeh Bademjan.
