You Can't Leave Doha Without Trying This Restaurant! 🥹

⭐️ The Middle East isn’t just about shawarma! If you visit Doha, Qatar, you must dine at Shiraz Palace—I’m here to rave about this incredible Iranian 🇮🇷 restaurant in Doha 🇶🇦! During my trip, I visited their branch at the stunning Place Vendôme Mall (the new hotspot from the Qatar World Cup era), and I’m obsessed. Their Kofta is mind-blowing, especially the Shiraz Special Mix—a combo of lamb and saffron chicken (lamb koobideh + saffron chicken). Every bite was pure bliss, and the portions are HUGE. The meat? Tender, juicy, and zero dryness. The lamb had no gaminess and rivaled New Zealand grilled lamb chops 🐑. ⭐️ At first, I had no idea what Kofta was (turns out it’s a Middle Eastern/South Asian dish of spiced minced meat shaped into balls or patties, grilled or fried—like upgraded kebabs!). But the star was their saffron rice—fragrant, fluffy, and paired perfectly with the meat. This meal made me instantly Google “Iranian restaurants in Beijing and Auckland”! ⭐️ Beyond kebabs, they serve Persian-Arabic classics like Kobideh Meat and Jooja Saffron Chicken platters (all served with saffron rice, pomegranate, and pickled cabbage to cut the richness) and Ash Reshteh (a hearty veggie and grain soup 🥣). Veggie lovers, try their Qima Eggplant🍆—a flavor bomb! ⭐️ The service? Exceptional! The staff were warm, attentive, and gave spot-on recommendations. Meat lovers, Shiraz Palace is a MUST in Doha!
