This is the best Mediterranean restaurant I have ever been to. Â I always get the hummus as a starter and it is the best I've ever eaten. Â If you're a hummus fan definitely try it at Shiraz! I also love the chicken panini. Â It is spicy and loaded with hot chicken and fresh quinoa. I have never gotten a bad meal here or bad service. Â This is now a regular lunch spot for me!
Review Source:Great fresh ingredients. They take great care to serve the best and prepare it in the best way possible. If you get a chance, ask for the Tadik, which is the bread cooked at the bottom of the rice pot. Crispy and fantastic. Make sure you get a side of Tziki sauce and one of their Chipotle sauce. Fantastic. The Hummus is the best in Louisville. The prices are very reasonable with most entrees under $10. Also, ask for the hot tea,
Review Source:The steak and chicken kebabs were awesome. Â Juicy, tender, and flavorful! Â The herb rice was also amazingly full of flavor. Â Only downside was the shiraz panini, which was really weird. Â I'm not sure what to say about that one. Â Order at the counter, and then find a seat and wait for your food. Â Enjoy!
Review Source:Visited this place night and it's my new favorite restaurant. The staff is friendly and took the time to go over the menu with us since we weren't sure what we wanted. I ordered the sharmwah wrap with chicken and the spicy avocado bruschetta and was blown away! Light,flavorful, I was very happy!
Review Source:This is my favorite location of this restaurant. The staff has always been very nice and super helpful. I always order a hummus appetizer to share with whoever I'm with; it's always so flavorful. The chicken and shrimp are always winners in my book.
Be sure and get one of their frequent diner cards, after so many combos you get a free one! :)
My first visit here was pretty a-ok. The grilled shrimp were tasty. The fatoush salad with quinoa was interesting (in a good way), though I would have liked more cheese on it :-)
The onions on top were a little too charred...they tasted like campfire. The eggplant I expected to be a little more like baba ganoush, and just wasn't to my liking.
The hummus was pretty great and my bite of my friend's chicken was good too.
I am sure I will be back.
I had been wanting to try this place for a while. Â Prior to doing so, I decided to take on a vegetarian diet. Â Glancing over the menu again, I decided I still wanted to eat here because, along with all the meaty items on the menu, there are several appetizers and entrees without meat.
In the end... I loved it! Â I can't wait to return and try another entree.
I would award a 5th star, but this location is a little awkward getting in and out (in a car). Â Not a terribly big deal.
This place is totally cute - a very relaxing environment. The menu mostly consists of meats grilled kebab style with your choice of sides.
Portions are pretty big, and prices are reasonable (at least, in the mind of a Seattlite), even though you can tell the prices have gone up. I guess it's tough to hide that fact when you paint your original menu on the wall - only way to change the prices is to cover up the old one with a piece of paper (at least, that's what they do). But integrating the menu into the wall art is cool regardless.
I got a chicken kebab combo with an extra skewer of shrimp. The shrimp was alright, but I'd go without next time - the chicken ended up being pretty filling by itself. The rice serving was hefty, and the hummus - while a bit bland - was still tasty with the flatbread.
Toward the end of the meal, one of the employees dropped off a couple pieces of baklava for my co-worker and I to have on the house. Very nice! The baklava was good - less honey flavor than I'm used to, but c'mon - it's hard to knock free baklava.
All in all, a great place to grab a quick bite.
