Shiraz - Great Neck

The food was pretty good and the whole area was secret and beautiful. The employees were very attentive and did their best to make us feel comfortable and tired.

A local favorite, I've heard the name for years. Finally decided to try it, but there are some better options for authentic Persian food in Great Neck. Not as good as the other two, but it is the only one with a large outdoor seating area.

My real rating is 2.5. Pros: 1) The place is big and the tables are fairly distanced. 2) There is spacious outdoor sitting. 3) The place is nicely decorated and is clean. 4) The food portions are large. 5) The food is very clean. 6) The waiter gave us complementary tahdig and hummus which was nice. Cons: 1) Service was horrible! Waiter(ss) were not attentive. Took them 20 mins to bring water. Asked for hand sanitizer and didn't bring and we had to get it ourselves. Didn't refill the water and didn't check on us to see if we needed anything. (Maybe checked once) 2) The food is not delicious! Not that is tastes bad, it just doesn't taste like real kabob. The barg and koubide were not marinated and spiced like authentic Iranian kabobs. The kabobs looked NOT fresh and the food came kinda cold which made we think that the food was not made fresh. 3) The food was pricey. I think for that food I'd pay half. *Don't recommend and won't go back.

Very good food for a Glatt Kosher restaurant. This is a cute simply decorated place with good food and reasonabe prices. The service was good and everyone was very attentive. The cocktails are very well made and quite photo worthy. The food was delicious. We had the chicken wraps (sooo good), chicken wings (very spicy but good), lamb chops (very well prepared but a little to fatty for my liking), and burg (so soft and flavorful). For dessert we had baklava which was very good (not overly sweet).

Highly enjoyed our experience. Fancy, white tablecloths and very professional wait staff. We ordered dolmeh (stuffed grape leaves), ghormeh sabzi, and barg (meat shish kebab). The barg was particularly delicious definitely order it if you come visit.
