Shiraz Grill and Cafe - Richmond Hill

I decided to visit this restaurant after hearing great things about it from my friends. Out of all the hookah bars I have visited in the Greater Toronto Area, this place was definitely the cleanest.

The staff at this restaurant are incredibly rude and impolite! I will never return here as they were disrespectful to the point of turning their backs on us.

I have to admit, I had a great time and will definitely be returning.

Though I'm tempted to talk about why I hate restaurants that allow smoking indoors (in this case shisha indoors), I will instead mention only that if you ignore the smoke you can purchase food - to go - and enjoy it in smoke free environments like your home. Here's the food that I liked first: their tenderloin beef dishes (name escapes me right now) is a 5 star meat dish but to complete it you will need to pay extra to buy salad and dressing (I like the greek salad + dressing, and I also like to order tatziki). If you don't buy these you will only get 1/2 a grilled tomato with your rice and beef. Next is their koobedah dish (ground beef skewer). This is also good (though second to the tenderloin). Sometimes I order the dish that has one of each if it is for dinner. Food that I tried and didn't like or hated: chicken skewers. I don't know why, but their chicken tastes weird to me (something off about the marinade they use). I tried it in another nearby Iranian place that doesn't taste the same and is much more enjoyable. I bought this meal twice and regretted it each time. Lentil soup. This is by far the worst lentil soup I have ever had in my life. Do not buy from there unless you want some weird chicken soup with lentils thrown in. ugh. Joe's Shawarma down the road has much better lentil soup. Conclusion: this is my go-to place for grilled Iranian beef meals. Nothing else.

Average service.........average food........ Reasonable prices........convinient location........food takes long to be served.......place usually empty so easy to find table........music is so so.........what can I say.....access is easy and location is convenient!!
