We have a rule at Worcester Foodies that each member is supposed to select a different entrée. This can be a little stressful if you are at the “wrong” end of the table. A few times I have had my heart (or should I say stomach?) set on a particular dish only to have others in the group order what I clearly communicated what I had planned on ordering. I had no such fear at Shiraz Armenian Cuisine. You see, my family comes to this restaurant regularly, and I knew that I would be more than happy with any one of a dozen entrees. I happily chose the Koshkosh Kebab, a meal that I have chosen many times. Two delicately-spiced ground meat kebabs served with a flavorful tomato sauce, a bowl of fluffy rice pilaf served on the side. Just thinking about it again makes my mouth water. If I had an Armenian grandmother (and this restaurant makes me wish that I did) I am sure she would prepare food just like Shiraz. My dinner tasted like it came from a home kitchen, made from a treasured family recipe. Simple, flavorful, and absolutely satisfying on every level. -JD
