Shiraaz By Rajputana West Melbourne

"Pleasantly surprised by our dinner here. On arrival, the place was empty which always sounds alarm bells for me. The samosas were a huge size for starters. Our butter chicken was delicious and had the smoky flavour from the tandoor and the naan hit the spot. They sell mango lassi by the jug which was a little thick and the cynic in me suspects it was perhaps a powdered mix?"

"After a spirited Holi celebration, we decided to give this place a chance. We ordered Afghani paneer tikka and stuffed mushrooms. Unfortunately, they arrived lukewarm and tasted reheated, lacking the expected flavor. To make matters amusing, they forgot the mint sauce due to its unavailability. Undeterred, we ventured into the main course, opting for paneer lababdar and the chef's special paneer. While the lababdar was satisfactory, the chef's special was a culinary disaster. Regrettably, the experience wasn't confined to the food. The service matched the quality of the dishes – poor. This encounter served as a reminder: not all experiences live up to their initial promise. Think twice before considering this dining option."

"The worst experience I have ever had in Melbourne, the most rude staff, there were almost 4-5 people waiting for food and they were rude to everyone. They don’t even have common sense to keep the ice cream separate from the hot food. Also if you look at the quantity of the brownie in the photo, its not even one tablespoon and it cost me more than $10, when I asked the girls about it they said this is how much we give and most of the breads were burnt. I won’t give this food to even a homeless person, I would feel ashamed giving this much quantity to anyone. This is the worst customer experience and I will never recommend this place to anyone."

"Ambience: 4.8/5 Proximity: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Value for money: 4/5 Went for dinner on my wife’s birthday and it couldnt have been any better day than choosing Shiraz. Great taste nice ambience, welcoming staff, what else one need. I just randomly asked if they provide a cake service since it was my wife’s birthday and they provided a brownie with a candle just not to disappoint us. Kudos staff. Highly recommended."
