Reza Parhizkaran's journey began in a home where food was the heartbeat of family gatherings. Inspired by his mother's cherished recipes and the vibrant culinary traditions of Persia, Reza embraced the art of cooking from a young age. His passion for hospitality was cultivated through years of experience, eventually leading him to create Shiraz Kitchen & Wine Bar. At Shiraz Kitchen, Reza infuses each dish with a blend of Persian-Mediterranean flavors, offering a menu that's both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition. His hands-on approach and unwavering commitment to quality have earned the restaurant numerous accolades, including the MICHELIN Guide's Bib Gourmand, the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and a ‘Very Good’ rating from The New York Times. Reza's philosophy is simple: treat every guest like family. His warm and welcoming presence at both the Chelsea and White Plains locations ensures that every visit is a memorable experience. Whether he’s greeting guests at the door, recommending a wine, or sharing a story from his childhood, Reza’s personal touch is the heart and soul of Shiraz Kitchen.
