Located at Azadi Blvd. and Khakshenasi St. the Shater Abbas is the only restaurant in Shiraz that we really liked. Not that we had a lot of choice:
- Restaurant on the top floor of the Pars International Hotel: Tourist buffet a la mayonnaise;
- African Restaurant (also at Pars): my Dad stopped looking at the menu after he saw "Monkey Gland" in the entree section - he said he was afraid that "Red Assed Baboon Anus" would be the next main on the menu; and
- Yord Restaurant: a highly recommended restaurant run by the Qashqa'i nomads next to a bubbling brook, set in a large yord (tent) where you eat cheap and amazing food accompanied by live traditional music. Perhaps a restaurant imagined by travel guide writers - no one we asked in Shiraz had ever heard of it.
The Shater Abbas is a great restaurant run by a large friendly man with one cauliflower ear (pretend you don't notice). The bread is baked on site and is amazing. The kebabs are generous and delicious.
