If you walk into Shiraz Kitchen and Wine Bar on any given Sunday, you’ll feel something special in the air. It’s not just the aroma of spices and herbs wafting through the restaurant; it’s the palpable warmth of a family gathering, an echo of my own childhood Sundays back home. Those days were filled with laughter, the clatter of dishes, and my mother commanding the kitchen with a kind of grace only she could muster.

"Ready for the magic?" she would say as she served her special Abgoosht, her eyes twinkling with the joy of sharing her creation. This tradition, deeply woven into the fabric of our family, is what I’m thrilled to share with you every Sunday at our restaurant.

As you sit down, maybe you’ll hear a dad at the next table explaining to his curious kids, "This isn’t just stew; it’s history in a bowl!" You might see friends challenging each other to mash their dizi just right, laughter spilling over the rims of their glasses filled with Rioja—its robust flavor a perfect match for the hearty meal.

Our Abgoosht isn’t just about eating; it’s about experiencing. With every spoonful, you’re savoring layers of history, each ingredient telling its story. And yes, while the dish is traditional, the experience is anything but ordinary. "Who knew mashing could be this much fun?" I overheard someone exclaim last week, their enthusiasm stirring others to dive in with gusto.

This is what Sundays are about at Shiraz Kitchen and Wine Bar: making memories, sharing stories, and leaving with bellies and hearts full. "Bring your appetite and your stories," I always say, because here, every dish has a narrative and every guest adds to our tapestry.

Join us this Sunday for a taste of home, seasoned with love and laughter. We can’t wait to welcome you into our family, even if just for the afternoon.
