Why go
Book Shiraz Kitchen & Wine Bar when you want a polished White Plains meal with more range than a single-category restaurant. The strongest case is Persian-Mediterranean sharing with a serious wine program, while the sushi counter works better for a more focused repeat visit or date-night format.
About Shiraz Kitchen & Wine Bar
Shiraz Kitchen & Wine Bar in White Plains is best understood as a Persian-Mediterranean restaurant and wine bar with sushi. The price point is $75 per person, so the decision is less about chasing a bargain and more about whether that mix of cuisines and wine-bar identity fits the night.
The clearest case for booking is flexibility. The restaurant can suit diners who want Persian-Mediterranean dishes, guests who want sushi as part of the same meal, and groups that want a smart-casual White Plains dinner. The dress code is smart casual.
Book for Persian-Mediterranean dishes, sushi, and a wine-bar setting
The core draw is the hybrid identity: Persian-Mediterranean cooking, a wine-bar format, and sushi in White Plains. That range is useful for mixed-preference groups because the meal does not have to stay in one lane.
Order from the Persian-Mediterranean side if the goal is a fuller table. The signature dishes include lamb chops, lamb shank, saffron chicken kabob, ground beef koobideh kabob, ghormeh sabzi, and feta stuffed dates. Those dishes are the safest guide for building a meal around the restaurant’s stated strengths.
The wine-bar side is also part of the venue’s identity. Shiraz Kitchen & Wine Bar is listed with a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2026, which gives the wine component a confirmed point of recognition.
The occasion case is stronger than a narrow-format case
For a special occasion, this is a sensible White Plains choice when the group wants smart-casual rather than formal. The cuisine gives the meal a clear Persian-Mediterranean base, while the sushi option adds another path for diners who want variety.
The best fit is a group that wants a White Plains dinner built around Persian-Mediterranean dishes, sushi, and a wine-bar identity.
Treat the sushi component as part of the restaurant’s broader range rather than assuming a specific counter experience. The fact is that Shiraz Kitchen & Wine Bar is a Persian-Mediterranean restaurant and wine bar with sushi; seating format and service details should be confirmed with the venue.
What to know before choosing it over a simpler night out
Value here comes from range. At $75 per person, the appeal is the ability to combine Persian-Mediterranean dishes, sushi, and a wine-bar setting in one White Plains restaurant.
The tradeoff is focus. Diners who want one narrow specialty may prefer a restaurant built entirely around that category. Shiraz Kitchen & Wine Bar is better for guests who like the idea of Persian-Mediterranean cooking with sushi available in the same venue.
