About Shiraz

Shiraz brings a distinct expression of Persian dining to Great Neck, built around tradition, craft, and a deep appreciation for time-honored flavors. Since opening its doors, the restaurant has become a neighborhood staple, known for dishes that celebrate heritage while appealing to contemporary palates.

The name reflects the essence of its cuisine. It's warm, aromatic, and rooted in centuries of culinary culture. What drives Shiraz is a commitment to honest cooking: fragrant herbs chopped daily, meats seasoned with precision, and grilling methods that highlight simplicity and technique. The result is food that feels rich with history, vibrant in its execution.

Set along Middle Neck Road, the restaurant occupies a central place in the area’s kosher dining landscape. Its location makes it a natural stop for locals seeking comfort food with depth, as well as for visitors exploring the diverse eateries that define Great Neck’s culinary scene. Shiraz often becomes part of the rhythm of a day—whether it’s a casual lunch, a family gathering, or an unplanned dinner that turns into a lasting favorite.

Inside, the ambiance brings refinement and approachability. Soft lighting, upscale décor, and an intimate layout create a setting that encourages both relaxed meals and more festive occasions. It’s a space where the atmosphere enhances the food rather than competes with it, allowing diners to settle in and enjoy the unfolding experience.

The menu is the heart of the restaurant. Popular selections include expertly charred kebabs—koobideh, barg, and chicken seasoned with saffron—alongside slow-cooked stews, herb-forward appetizers, and rice that’s light, aromatic, and crowned with crisp tahdig. Each dish showcases the kitchen’s focus on flavor, consistency, and thoughtful preparation. Portions are generous, a reflection of the hospitality that defines Persian dining.

What truly sets Shiraz apart is its dedication to guests. The staff’s attentiveness, the steady quality of the cooking, and the restaurant’s welcoming spirit create an experience that feels personal. Combine that with their weekly Shabbos Takeout specials, and you have a restaurant that is always putting customers first. With other takeout, catering, and seasonal offerings, Shiraz remains a dependable presence, continually serving the community while honoring the culinary traditions that inspire it.
