New Shiraz on Poplar Level

I was driving home yesterday and noticed a new Shiraz preparing to open on Polar Level by Audubon Park.
I frequent Al Watan alot but with this new to the neighborhood I might be apt to go there. Thing is I have heard that Shiraz is good but have never tried it myself. What do they have good there ? How are the prices ? Do they make there own pitas fresh?

Their bread is lavash rather than pita; not too far from a flour tortilla. I'm pretty sure they make it fresh in a central commissary and ship it to the restaurants.
Menu highlights are kabobs, falafel and salads. I think they have the best falafel in town.
Whenever I go, which is about once a week, I try to get some tadeegh. It's not a regular menu item and they give it away. From what I can tell, when they cook rice they lay some lavash at the bottom of the pot, and it bakes into a crispy layer of bread and rice which almost resembles peanut brittle. I'm addicted to it.
Here's their menu: http://www.shirazmg.com/

mmm . . .Shiraz. Had it last night for supper and leftovers today for lunch. I recommend everything.

The Shiraz Eggplant alone is worth the trip ... now I'm hungry!

I seldom get chicken breast in a restaurant because it's often over-cooked. Shiraz gets it moist and right every time - and on a kabob, no less. And their lamb, when they have it... o m g...

I love the Mahi Kabob there.

Thanks guy's I will definitely give it a shot. It's nice to see an indie in the Quarry center after Walgreens and CVS squeezed the classic Roubens pharmacy out of there.
Anyone know when they might open?

I frequent the Shiraz on frankfort close to mellwood, at least 3 days a week. The Chicken kabob and their delicious hummus is the usual suspect. Truly great, simple ,healthy ,tasty food. The owner Ashkhan is super nice guy, to boot.

Just ask to sample anything on the appettizer side, they will be happy to oblige.

I heard a while back they'd be opening from someone who raved about them. I too am a big fan of Al Watan, but this is *way* closer. I'd love ot know when they're opening too.

I just talked to the good folks at Shiraz, they will be open at the Poplar Level store in a week to 10 days. Very nice people, please support this location. Also the J Gumbos out here too, I'm worried about them, it always seems slow, but it is so so good. Give them your business!

Thanks for the update!

Can't really blame Walgreens and CVS for Roubens closing. They kind of did themselves in.

Ooh! I didn't realize that. They did have that classic pharmacy thing going on though.
