First time trying Persian cuisine. We went on a weekday, so the restaurant was calm with no big crowds.

Atmosphere & decor: 10/10
Service: 10/10
Tea: 10/10
Food: 6.5/10. The lamb shank had too much tomato sauce & wasn't very enjoyable. The kobebiahs were delicious they were juicy & tender. The soup was tasty & warm. The salad was also good.

The meat tasted like it wasn't fresh! The barg kebab was awful! Not worth even trying!

Ils ont un menu spécial pour le diner pendant la semaine (de midi à 15h) qui offre des plats comme Koubideh à 14.99$.
Je l'ai choisi, mais quand la serveuse m'a apporté l'addition, j'ai remarqué que ce n'est pas le même prix affiché dans le menu & c'est beaucoup plus cher. Quand j'ai demandé la raison, la serveuse m'a dit que c'est uniquement quand vous payez comptant (histoire de ne pas payer la taxe par la commerce) alors que ce n'était pas du tout indiqué sur le menu.
Le Koobideh aussi était très salé.
De plus, j'ai constaté que la serveuse avait un comportement très différent entre les clients iraniens & non-iraniens. Elle est venue demandé à plusieurs reprises aux clients non-iraniens s'ils avaient besoin de quelque chose alors qu'elle n'est jamais venue me poser la question.
Je vous recommande pas d'y aller.

Great Persian food in Toronto. The staff were incredibly friendly & the food was also great. I would not recommend the barg kebab though but the koobideh & kebab torsh was amazing. Will definitely return

The food at the restaurant was excellent. We ordered the mixed platter for four people, & every single item was delicious. The koobideh kebab & the torsh kebab were especially outstanding. The service was exceptional, & the staff were incredibly friendly & welcoming.

Awful experience! We ordered both stew & kebab koobideh, & both were terrible. The quality of the meat & rice was truly below standard. I only ate two spoonfuls of my stew (ghormeh sabzi), & my guests ate just a couple of bites of their kebab out of politeness. I couldn't be more dissatisfied.

3.0

The staff were very polite & welcoming, which made us feel comfortable right away. The atmosphere is nice for an Iranian restaurant.
We ordered Ghormeh Sabzi & kebab Koobideh. The kebab was medium to good, while the Ghormeh Sabzi was quite average & could be improved. Customer service was attentive & friendly.
The portion sizes & flavors were fair for the price, which we appreciated. We hope the restaurant continues to grow & gets even better day by day.
