Shiraz Kitchen Celebrates Michelin Bib Gourmand Success with ‘Magical’ Persian-Mediterranean Cuisine and Curated Wine List

The White Plains and Chelsea-based restaurant, known for its Persian-Mediterranean cuisine, has received consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards. The recognition highlights its dedication to quality, innovation, and resilience in the face of challenges.

United States, January 30, 2025 — Shiraz Kitchen & Wine Bar has continued to redefine the dining landscape in America after securing consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards, recognized for its blend of Persian-Mediterranean cuisine and sushi. Having secured this recognition for three consecutive years now, the restaurant’s consistent quality and community-focused approach stand out.

The restaurant’s founder, Reza Parhizkaran, reflected on the milestone, noting the dedication of the team behind the achievement. “This recognition honors the passion and hard work of everyone involved in our journey. Our goal has always been to bring people together through food that tells a story,” Parhizkaran said.

The journey to this recognition has been marked by challenges. Shiraz Kitchen opened its Chelsea location at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, requiring swift adjustments to navigate the uncertainty. After a fire at its original Elmsford location in 2022, the White Plains location became a cornerstone, demonstrating the restaurant’s ability to adapt and thrive.

“Every obstacle has strengthened our resolve,” Parhizkaran said. “From the pandemic’s impact to rebuilding after the fire, our focus on delivering exceptional dining experiences has remained unwavering. These challenges have strengthened our ties to the community by emphasizing the importance of resilience and shared experiences.”

The White Plains restaurant has earned acclaim for its unique culinary offerings. Signature dishes such as Ghormeh Sabzi and tahdig (crispy rice) are complemented by sushi, often praised as the best in Westchester County. The premium restaurant offers 25 refined wines by the glass, further elevating the dining experience. The wine bar consistently receives high praise from guests.

In addition to the Michelin recognition, Shiraz Kitchen has received other accolades, including a “Very Good” rating from The New York Times and a place on the list of the Top 35 Most Delicious Middle Eastern Restaurants in the U.S. These honors underscore the restaurant’s focus on quality and innovation.

Shiraz Kitchen & Wine Bar is also on the list of Wine Spectator’s 2024 Award of Excellence, making it a leading dining destination that provides a top-level experience that celebrates flavor, tradition, and community.

Parhizkaran attributed the restaurant’s success to the support of its patrons and team. “Our achievements are shared with everyone who has been part of this journey—from our guests to our dedicated staff. Shiraz Kitchen is a place where people connect, celebrate, and create lasting memories,” he said.

Shiraz Kitchen’s continued success reflects its commitment to culinary excellence and its ability to evolve while staying true to its roots. The restaurant remains a destination for diners seeking both traditional flavors and modern interpretations.
