★★★★★ 5.0 Jenni A · Dec 2020

Excellent food and great service! Shahrazad catered an event I attended years ago, and I've been wanting to go there ever since. I can't wait to return once the buffet is open again, yum!!! I was happy to see they went above and beyond regarding Covid precautions - our server wore a mask the entire time, and kept his distance from us when possible. Everything on the menu is clearly marked vegetarian and gluten free when applicable, which is also helpful!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Umm Ismail · Feb 2020

I had high hopes for this restaurant. I saw many good reviews and decided to try it. I ordered the chicken kabob. The chicken was amazing! Tender, juicy and well seasoned. The downside of my entree was that it was served with plain white rice. The rice had some spices and mint on top as well as saffron but was tasteless. The plain white rice was extremely disappointing. My entree came with lentil soup which was good. Other people in my party did not fully enjoy their food. Same plain, tasteless white rice accompanied their meals. One member of my party had lamb. While the lamb was not tough, it was extremely salty. The dish included grilled veggies and a red tomato sauce.The decor in this restaurant is extremely outdated as well as the bathrooms. I sat in a wooden chair that I thought was

This has been my favorite restaurant since I was 5. And when I say favorite, I’m mean favorite of all time. Always felt welcomed and the food quality has never declined. I also enjoy sharing the cuisine and experience with friends that have never tried this type of food.

There are two things everyone, and I mean everyone, like: good food, and affordable stuff. Nowadays especially, the combination of these two factors seems to be more drastic by the day. I'm happy to report, however, that this place absolutely defies the trend of good food being out of reach! Shahrazad offers quite a selection for those who want great middle-eastern food on a tight budget. Ive had their Chicken Shawarma Sandwich, which is phenomenal, multiple times, which is my favorite, but they also have options if meat isn't your forte, for one reason or another. Affordability, especially in our modern day, is unfortunately waining and ceasing to exist as a concept. No longer is this the case. A filling meal, if you know what you're doing, will run you anywhere from $9-$17, and believe

★★★★★ 5.0 Jessika Hamilton · Feb 2021

Delicious food, good service, lovely atmosphere (I did my best not to get up and dance to the music)! What we ordered: Lentil Soup: when they say "PERFECTION" in the menu description, they are not exaggerating! Creamy, savory, a touch of smokiness, if I have to die, dump me in a vat of this soup so I can drown in it. Yalenjee: Not Greek dolmades! These grapeleaves are fried! AND SOOOO flavorful, packed with seasoned rice and yumminess. Squeeze the lemon over it, you will not be sorry. SHAHRAZAD COMBO: which has a LOT, we split it between 2 "big eaters" and we couldn't finish! Kabob, tender with a nice charr Kefta, THE STANDOUT STAR! we both loved this one, particularly with a little lemon on it Taouk chicken was mildly seasoned with a hard char that gives you a real flame grilled, out in
