Shiraz Bar & Mediterranean Restaurant in Reigate and Banstead

My husband and I visited this restuarant this evening for dinner as we were staying close by before leaving for Mexico the following day and I felt compelled to leave a review. From the moment we arrived and found a beautiful setting, the staff were attentive, with just the right amount of attention without interfering with what was absolutely amazing food. I can totally recommend the babaganush, while my husband raved over the taramasalad. The sea bream was divine, as was the Malbec wine. This will definitely be our go to place for dinner in the future whenever we have a Gatwick stopover.

Belated 60th birthday meal with family. Fantastic atmosphere, with delicious food and drinks. Highly recommend the chicken shish and the baklava. Great place to celebrate an adult birthday. We will be recommending to family and friends, and we will definitely be back. Thank you all.

Excellent staff, excellent food choice and taste. Excellent ambiance. Well worth a visit anytime, especially on a Friday or Saturday for the music and entertainment.

This is an awesome restaurant for many reasons. 1. Staff really friendly 2. Restaurant filled to capacity yet service was excellent 3. Banging live DJ 4. Excellent food 5. Great atmosphere 6. Dancing towards end of night 7. Value for money

Such a wonderful place. Great service, excellent food and a beautiful place. We live in Iceland but we will back soon !!!

Excellent New Years Eve. Fun, gorgeous food, dancing and entertainment. Thanks to all the staff for making it such a memorable night.

Horley and Crawley are culinary deserts, so it was a real surprise to find this friendly and buzzy place just of Horley High St. Both the interior and welcome were very warm on the chilly night we visited. It’s a large place but even though mid-week was full of energy. The menu is predominantly Turkish/ Northern Med, full of favourites. It’s not fine dining, but it’s very good, with generous portions of comfort food served piping hot. Textures and flavours were spot on. Decent wine and beer choices. It’s worth noting it doesn’t have a car park, but the (rather grim at night) town centre car park is 50 metres away.

Everything from the phone call to book until we left the restaurant was good. Since we ordered meze to share we got the food really quick and everything was really delicious and we had a great time. All the staff were really friendly and polite. We will definitely be back when in the neighbourhood. Recommend the restaurant if you want a good meal and a good experience.

Had a fantastic evening with friends for our Christmas night out, the atmosphere was amazing so much fun, DJ was brilliant everyone up dancing having a good time. The food was tasty and every meal came out was perfect. I had Christmas set menu the lamb shank was the best I’ve had and best baklava. My friends were drinking the butterscotch cocktail. All the staff work extremely hard and so friendly. Thank you Shiraz team for making our evening brilliant fun.

Went to Shiraz with group of friends last Saturday. The service was amazing, friendly, attentive and always there when we needed them. The food was amazing, we ordered a group set meal and the food was incredible. To round off a great evening they had a dj on site

This is a family run restaurant who clearly have a passion for it as they’ve got it exactly right. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere and the service were second to none!! Absolutely fantastic place! There was 10 of us that went in couples but it’s suitable for a girls night out too and all ages. Every team member went above and beyond looking after us and constantly making sure everything was ok. The food that came out just kept coming and there was nothing we could have faulted. It really was incredible!

Named after two things; a historically bad wine and a historically good part of Persia, this is a good restaurant with friendly staff. Excellent portions, tasty food and I particularly liked the bread that came with our starters. However the only reason I can't give five stars is the intense love of butter that the chef seems to have. We both found it slightly heavy for our liking. Butter is made by blending heavy cream until a buttery liquid forms, then pressing it down into a bowl and chilling it until it hardens - but then, the good people of Shiraz (in Horley and Iran) will already know this!

Great night out . Friday evening , friends , food and an added bonus of great music with a dj. Service was amazing . Absolutely spot on evening had by us all . Group of 11

Amazing evening took my partner for his birthday! Didn’t leave till after midnight a dj comes out at about 9. Food was fantastic and amazing service he was made to feel very special 😍🍾💃

Great food, great service. Been here several times when on business and it never disappoints. Fantastic Adana kebab with salad and bulgar.

Came here for a work lunch and the food was exceptional. Huge portions and it was absolutely delicious. Service was also very good and the staff was very friendly

Fantastic meal and super friendly staff. Came here after being recommended at hotel we were staying in at Gatwick. Food was amazing,price was spot on and my partner commented how lovely the Prosecco glass was and the tall waiter with blond hair returned with a...

What a place!! A unique experience involving fantastic food, awesome friendly service and a brilliant vibe!! I certainly didn’t expect to be dancing till 1am in a restaurant, with the staff but that’s what makes Shiraz unique! We can’t wait to go back!!

I had never been here before but to come with a group of people 14 of us! We preordered the food which was really good. They sing to people on their birthday etc normally I would say really cheesy but these guys made it quite...

Very lovely evening- staff were friendly and attentive- food was great - really tasty. They even organised a birthday song / dessert- even though I only mentioned it was my Birthday in passing once we were sat down. We would definitely return.

Everytime I am up near Gatwick I try and plan a visit to this restaurant. Absolutely love the food here. Always excellent quality with friendly staff. Not to be missed!

Wow!! What a fantastic restaurant. The food was out of this world. There was about 28 of us for a colleagues 40th birthday. The food was amazing, especially when catering for so many of us, and the restaurant was full. What made it was the...

A friend who lives in this area recommended this restaurant. I live in London but had friends spending their last night in the UK in Horley before going to Gatwick the next day. There were 5 of us and we all loved the food! It...

Horley is a curious town. 5 barber shops. Five Turkish restaurants. Five pubs. But one restaurant stands out. Shiraz. So, admittedly, I didn’t try the others. I peeked in. They didn’t appeal to me because they weren’t welcoming or in my opinion a place where...

We had a five hour changeover at Gatwick, and we wanted to avoid eating there. We took the local 100 bus, 10 minutes and a three minute walk. The restaurant was friendly, the food was excellent and reasonably priced. They've a nice wine list with...

A birthday supper that I will always remember . The stuffed calamari were very tasty , possibly a touch undercooked. The prawns and the lamb kebab were beautiful ! It is no secret how good this place is , because on a Monday night it...

This is a great restaurant. Although I ordered to go. It's a pleasant place to spend a good evening.😊

It's really good but there was a bit disappointment for me. The food was excellent - all of it. The staff were really good - very friendly and smiley and offered great service. The price was completely acceptable and I think offered great value. The...

Fabulous restaurant with excellent food and very friendly & professionally attentive staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and for a Thursday night in Horley, the atmosphere was great. Will definitely be back and would recommend.

This is a fantastic restaurant, the atmosphere,the food, the cocktails and the staff. Always very attentive and nothing is too much trouble, we just celebrated our sons 30th birthday there for 60 of us. There’s no better place to go. 👌

Was a Sunday lunchtime and Restaurant very quite. 20 minutes to take our order I had the Iskender Kebab , The so called Turkish bread had gone soggy and was hard to identify sitting amongst a plateful of tasteless tomato sauce from a jar and...

A huge thank to everyone for making my husband’s 70th birthday party so special. The food was fabulous as always and the service was exceptional. There were 23 in our party and I can honestly say it was a great night. Thank you all so...

This is a 5 star restaurant in every way. Food, service and ambience and reasonably priced. Shout out to Ryan and the rest of the staff who were so attentive and made us feel very welcome. Very highly recommended!

We were recommended to try the Shiraz, Turkish restaurant. What a disappointment. There were three of us and having not eaten there before we asked the waitress for recommendations for three mains for us to share. (We always share the food between us to enhance...

Enjoyed our night there - food was good and staff brilliant Only complaint, without sounding like your parents, we were seated right next to the speaker and the loudness of the music was a bit of a struggle to be near - my husband kept...

Shiraz in Horley is the best restaurant around the staff are so caring the food is beautiful and you can dance the night away when the kitchen is closed I have been to a lot of restaurants in my time there is a lot of...

Excellent staff and the food was so good. Didn’t know what to expect but chose the sharing platter and we were both so happy with the results. Lots of different tastes and textures both with the hot and cold starter and main course and real...

Booked this restaurant for a birthday treat. Great atmosphere, lovely food and moderately priced. Good choice of traditional Turkish dishes and other options for the non adventurous. Staff and service were great. Would recommend.

Visited for lunch today while staying overnight in Gatwick for a flight. We had a couple of mezze starters and the chicken kebab to share between us, food was really good quality and all was delicious. Lovely restaurant and friendly staff. Extensive cocktail list and...

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. It was the best Turkish meal I have had in a long time. We had the set meal for two. It was varied and freshly cooked. The salads were also fresh and tasty. The meat...

Absolutely amazing food, the flavours were out of this world. Relaxed, friendly and attentive service too. 10m by bus from Gatwick's North Terminal and open all day! Excellent value for the quality of the food, we will most certainly be back.

Great food, probably the best Turkish restaurant we have ever been to in England! We had lambs liver and calamari with tasty cold salad meze to start and then we shared the mixed grill; the meat particularly the lamb was so tender and the flavours...

This was my first experience of eating in a Turkish restaurant. I enjoyed it vey much. The menu was extensive (good reason to return) with a wide variety of dishes including vegetarian. The service was excellent even though it was busy the staff never appeared...

Visited here with a group and was throughly impressed with everything! The restaurant is modern, stylish and airy, with ample seating. Great menu with many of the firm favourites but plenty of lesser known dishes to choose from too. I opted for the mix grill,...

First class decor, warmth and staff friendliness. Quickly seated where we wanted and drinks offered pronto. The ambience was delightful and our waiter superb. The food was absolutely brilliant, first class flavours and served piping hot. Generous portions and all round an amazing meal. Warmly...

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and really good value for money. What else is there to like. Can't believe it's taken us this long to eat in here. Upon entering, we were greeted with an absolutely rammed restaurant...yes it was Saturday night, but it's Horley we're...

Cold tasteless take away!! Avoid takeaways from this place. Ordered the adana kebab which comes in a yoghurt sauce but came cold. Also had lamb and chicken shish. Unacceptable as delivery took 1 hour. Otherwise not much to add as it was a forgettable meal....

Visited restaurant during layover at Gatwick. Very nice owner/staff and lots of staff to serve and clear tables. Everyone in this restaurant was extremely professional yet welcoming. We ordered the menu for Two. It was enough for 3 people! Excellent food and flavours. Appetizer, starter,...

We were at Gatwick for one night and drove into Horley for a final meal before flying out. Shiraz is easily accessible from the airport with plenty of nearby parking off the opposite side of the road. Service was enthusiastic, polite and attentive and the...

Fantastic food, great service, reasonable bill. And extra help getting us a taxi- thanks. What's not to enjoy?

We were recommended by the owner of The Lawn Guest House where we were staying the night. Great recommendation. The service was excellent and food tasty and well presented.

Very attentive staff,the menu choice was hard to decide but it was amazing and I'm looking forward to be going back again soon to try something else ..

Very nice restaurant with very nice and quality food Service is amazing and very professional especially Mustafa A bit expensive instead of portions (small ones) Average is very good !!! We will visit for sure again

First time visit; came in the middle of the week. Restaurant was pretty quiet with pleasant atmosphere, background music not intrusive. Food and service was excellent and we both really enjoyed our meals. Look forward to coming back sometime.

I used to love this restaurant, it was perfect for a lovely evening with a partner or a couple of friends, but unfortunately it is no longer a restaurant in the evening. It is a night club that serves food! Yes the food is still...

A welcoming and pleasant atmosphere with delicious and well presented food and friendly service. Unfortunately my Iskander kebab came swimming in lovely sauce, but with no pitta bread to mop it up, even when I hinted it might be lacking. Appararenly it is normally supplied...

We had few starters, and some ginger chiken and lambshish. Few friends got the moussaka. Cooking is fresh and amazing, The taste is unique. Very friendly service and cosy atmosphere.
