Shiraz Market

The Write-Up

The full story

Half Persian grocery, half grill counter, Shiraz Market on 17-92 in Longwood turns a spice run into lunch. Chicken koobideh and beef kebabs come off the grill tender and full of flavor, next to hummus, ghormeh sabzi, falafel and Turkish pistachio baklava, and guests say it tastes like grandma's cooking. The kebabs are made to order and take their time, which regulars treat as a chance to wander the shelves of sweets and teas like a kid in a candy store.
