This restaurant is amazing. My in laws are persian and live a little way away. We first came here on a whim & today they came up to us purely to go to this restaurant. Shiraz is the best persian restaurant we’ve been to. The quality of the meat, the rice, the stews is amazing. The service is brilliant and its so well priced. I’m sure we’ll have many more visits here & are constantly recommending them to friends.

It was my first time trying Shiraz Restaurant. I was eager to try it since they are one of the few places that serve Persian cuisine in Leicester. The location isn't too far out from the city centre. You can either park outside the restaurant itself or on the side street. Parking is free. Complimentary tea is served - delicious Starters was great. Freshly baked flat bread was served which was awesome. I was really looking forward to getting the sheep neck - the only reason I had initially paid attention to this Restaurant, but unfortunately it was out of stock. I the opted for the chicken dish which was delicious. The chicken was tender and the rice was tasty. The portions were perfect and the sauce that goes with the meal went down perfectly well. Service was nothing to complain of. Nessy(sorry if I got your name wrong) served us well, with respect and care. I will return for sure (to eat my long awaited sheep neck :) ) Thank you - Now my second visit! We made a reservation beforehand for 8. We were given the seating we asked for. The atmosphere is great for us, it wasn't crowded and we weren't rushed out. Nastaran and Touba/Touban (sorry I didn't catch your name well) served and assisted us well. I finally got the sheep neck I was looking forward to having. The boneless chicken was tasty too as well as the lamb.

I’ve been to this restaurant quite a few times since opening, and it’s always a great experience. Staff are always friendly and the food is fantastic. Had yet another great evening here. Would highly encourage anyone wanting to try Persian food to come here.

Delicious food as the meat was juicy & tender , rice was cooked nicely Only 2 waiters on the front but very fast service and the place was clean Simple and straightforward menu Parking is very limited outside the restaurant and very difficult to find a close by space so we had to find a spot few roads away and walk to the restaurant

I’m half Iranian so when in a new city I always like to find a new Persian restaurant and this place was an amazing find the food was absolutely amazing. The chicken and the lamb were so soft and cooked to perfection. If ever in Leicester again I will be back and would definitely recommend to anyone going near here

Delicious food, fabulous service! Highly recommend trying the plate of kebabs.
