It is a hybrid restaurant+grocery store. I am reviewing this place as a grocery store only. This place has a very nice variety of food options that you can enjoy but I didnt got chance to have any food there.If you are going there to get Mediterranean grocery, then this place is 4/5. The products are mostly from Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Lebonon.If you are looking for Iranian cheese, theres a good variety. Also the most famous carbonated yogurt drink is available there as well.Persian herbs and spices were available as well. But I think the inventory was not wholesome, when compared to other middle-eastern shops in the town.The prices are quite higher and some products are unreasonably expensive. For example, a small 400ml bottle of drink costs around $3.5 --- which has original price sticker of $1.99. Its a nice little store anyway :)Attaching few pictures of the items I bought. Next time I will try their food as well

When I miss Egypt this is where I go. Its always so delicious and everyone there is so nice despite my hundreds of questions. Its less than 10min from the Lake Mary/Stanford campus so its my favorite lunch spot 😋

Charming and friendly helpful staff!The assortment of Persian and Turkish treats and ingredients is endless!I was after very specific items: homemade akbar masti, sabzi and ash noodles, sohan and gaz, saffron water and some pash mak. I found them all!I did not get a chance to try their koobideh or joojeh fresh but will be paying another visit to do so soon!Good prices and a wonderful business for all those that are looking for authentic Iranian food and ingredients.

Update 6/2021:Love the new location!!! More space, more food, beautiful inside. This is where you go to get your Persian ingredients! Love the service too.Great Persian food and market, and known in the community as such. If you cook Persian food, this is the place to get product. Because of space limitation, for prepared food its more of a take out place. But they do have 8 seats. Clean. Friendly owners.

I grew up near Dearborn, MI so I’m familiar with middle eastern food. This place will rival some of the best that I’m use to! Great food at fair price. Friendly service.

We have shopped at a number of specialty foreign food markets in the past. Many on the west Coast of the USA. I will say that Shiraz is one of the most friendly, well stocked, and clean middle eastern markets Ive been to. The woman manning the counter was great; super friendly.Also, I love Turkish Delight, and the ones they had refrigerated were hands down the best Ive had, full of flavor. Decent selection of Persian, Turkish, and general middle eastern foods. Not the biggest market, but they had what we needed and a few unique things, we have not seen before. Havent tried their Kebab but absolutely will when we go back.Highly recommend.

WOW! What an amazing find. A small Middle Eastern store with an amazing kitchen for takeout only. Every dish we ordered was delicious. Customer service was incredibly friendly and the selection in the store was quite extensive. The store was clean and well managed. A+++

Great place, great staff, This is the store that most of Iranians in Orlando go there for shopping. A lot of unique items and great products. Obviously can be improved and be a lot better by adding Iranian vegetable, fresh bread sections.

Great Persian grocery market with fresh food cooked to order. I love their pastries that are baked fresh daily according to the cashier. I had their chicken, beef gyro wrap and mixed chicken kabab rice meal. The pastries and the food are great and tasty and for the price I think there is food for more than one person. I see a lot of to go Food orders. My family loves the pastries and can’t have enough of them. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!!!

Review №27

Amazing food!We decided to try this place in search for local Persian food. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly and sweet lady. She helped review the menu options and even worked to get us the best deal. While we waited for the food, we decided to try the grocery items and picked up some sweets and snack items. Seating is limited and feels cozy, this added to the overall ambiance. The place almost feels like grandmas cooking and an authentic experience. The food arrived fresh and hot. The chicken koobideh kababs were very delicious and saffron rice were cooked to perfection. They even had a great variety of cakes.If you want some authentic Persian/Middle Eastern style food, I highly recommend this place. Its not fancy but better food than some upscale places. Prices are reasonable too. Note that there kitchen closes one hour before store closing time.We will definitely be back here. 👍🏻

I came here today with my husband, I got the #10 chicken plate and he got the #5. This has to be the best Mediterranean food we’ve had in all of FL. Delicious! The hummus was probably the best we’ve ever had. The market also had so many classic treats and desserts that brought me back to my childhood in NY. The staff is also super friendly and welcoming. 10/10 will eat again! 10/10 will shop again!

A variety of food & products from the mediterranean communities/cultures including sweets (baklava), candy, kabobs, gyros, salad, and canned/bagged items. Prepared food was very good. Friendly people & great customer service. They are very helpful & willing to explain what the items are called, what they are made from and what culture they derive from. Prices also very reasonable.

Review №49

The service is rather slow, and the price of my salad was rather high. The food isnt bad but for the time spent and the money that it costs had me feeling a little jipped. I got a greek salad with gyro meet and a chicken cabob. Like i said it wasnt terrible but at the same time for 19 bucks? You ask yourself if thats really worth it and get back to me.

Let the lamb shank and baghali polo talk for itself! I haven’t had the chance to try other foods but so far it was one the best Persian food you can find in the US and Florida. Don’t miss it guys! It’s like a mom’s food! Also order maast museer which is really a huge cup and is enough for two, however I wanted it all for myself. I wish I had more time there to try out their menu’s other foods. Highly recommend to stop by and taste the authentic Persian cuisine. We also tried ghorme sabzi and gheyme badenjoon which were great as well. Overall, the combination of the price and food quality is exceptional.

Review №51

Excellent market, but what does it for me is the home cooked Persian food! Absolutely delicious... I have been eating Iranian food my entire life that was cooked by my mother and grandmother and the Shiraz Market is on the level of some of the high end Persian restaurants Ive eaten at in Los Angels and Toronto. The place is family run and you can tell that they take pride in their business and the food is made with love. Thank you Shiraz Market!

If Andrew Zimmern is eating here.. Then you know its quality.. The BEST Iranian food in Central Florida and likely all of Florida.. Besides it being the best Iranian, the quality of the food alone puts the boutique cafe/grocery at the top...

Review №56

This place is fantastic. Note: the kitchen closes an hour before the store does. (If you get there too late, you could still make a meal of the bread and deli counter kind of items: hummus, tabouleh, mast moosir (a delicious shallot yogurt, akin to horseradish sauce you might put on a steak or potato, but could also eat for breakfast)).Masks are required. They dont currently have the tables (pictured in some older reviews.) In the next couple months theyre going to move to 434 and 17-92.The food is quite good. We tried the NY style chicken, the beef gyro (spicy), and the chicken kebabs. Everything was delicious. I meant to take pictures, but the food was gone before I remembered. Also, baklava!Even though its a bit of a drive, this will be a regular place for us.

Best persian food in orlando! We love it so much we drive 30 minutes to get there. Its family owned and they are so nice. The quality is amazing and you get a lot of food for the price. We order the kubideh kabob, jujeh kabob, and the gheimeh and gorhmeh stews but I’ve heard if you like lamb, the lamb shank they have on Saturday is amazing.

Review №85

This place didn’t look like the pictures..it’s a Mediterranean grocery store with a small kitchen and some dining tables in the middle of the store which looks very uncomfortable and there is basically no use for those tables since the store itself is very small and it doesn’t feel like a restaurant at all. They have different Persian and Arabic products that look good but the cashier was impatient in our experience! In their defense, we were there close to the Christmas eve time and they were kind of in a rush to close and go :)

Review №93

Simple menu with delicious food. Our favorite Thai restaurant is no longer open, Thai Delight, and we’ve tried a few other places nearby. The Jamaican is yummy but too spicy for some of the household so we were looking around for something other than pizza and tacos. We saw that Andrew Zimmern went there and that’s when we realized they have food there, too. It’s a limited menu, but the dishes prepared are very well done and taste delicious. It seems like mama is in the kitchen and she’s feeding her family and their friends. We have definitely found a new lunch spot! Great little market, as well and their dessert case rotates often. It’s hard not to munch on some baklava while waiting for your meal.

I was in the Longwood area and wanted to take my Dad to lunch. Just stopped into the Shiraz Market to check it out. It was the most surprising lunch visit ever! Kebabs and Gyro were amazingly spiced and extremely tender. Really nice friendly staff and I will be back for sure by myself and with my father. Great job guys and a well deserved 5 stars! Check them out...you will not be disappointed.
