Shiraz Palace

You'll smell the charcoal before you even walk through the door on Ranelagh Street, which tells you everything about how seriously they take their grilling here. The bi-level setup works well – downstairs feels more casual for a quick bite, while upstairs has that date-night energy without being stuffy about it. The mixed grill is what keeps regulars coming back, though their pizzas hold their own too. Staff know their wine list properly and won't just point you toward the most expensive bottle. It's the kind of place that does Mediterranean food without overthinking it – just good ingredients cooked well over real flames.
