Those who gave this restaurant high ratings have probably never been to a good restaurant or tasted good food in their lives!
The restaurant environment was extremely cramped, dark, & damp. The tables were covered with cloth, & the host was wiping his cloth directly over the table covering! Instead of using disposable sanitary table covers or having glass tables that can be properly cleaned with disinfectant!
The chairs were old & wobbly. The soup was overly thick. The doogh was sweet! The koobideh kebab was greasy & small. The rice was very low quality basmati. The mirza ghasemi was undercooked & had no distinctive aroma or flavor. & finally, the restroom was absolutely not clean at all!
Yet we paid the highest price - even compared to restaurants in Toronto!
It is superior, the food, the service, the ambience, the prices, everything was just perfect.
It is our first time but definitely we are adding this place to our list, we enjoyed it so much thank you ❤?❤?❤?

The restaurant is tastefully decorated & there is a lot of attention to the details including the serving plates & utensils. The food was fantastic, the koobideh was one of the best I had in Canada & the mitzaghasemi had an authentic smokey flavor. We would definitely return to try more things.
Orkideh Restaurant has a very pleasant atmosphere, excellent food, & great service.
The staff are very friendly & kind, & the soft background music makes the environment even more enjoyable.
The quality & taste of the food are excellent, portions are generous, & the side dishes are great as well.
The soup & salad were enough for three people.
Thank you to the professional Orkideh team, & wishing you continued success.
Excellente expérience !
On a pris le service de nourriture pour notre équipe de tournage, & tout était parfait : bouffe délicieuse, service fiable & super gentil. L'équipe a adoré. On revient sans hésiter.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food & a wonderful dining experience.
The food was excellent, & the portions were generous. Prices are fair, the service is friendly, & the atmosphere is great. Definitely one of the best Iranian restaurants in the city!
My wife & I went there right after our wedding. Seeing us in wedding attire, they provided the best & most extensive service. They were super kind & supportive, offering great wishes & smiles. Specially Sharareh was of great help. Then, they did not allow us to pay! We will remember this place forever.
(This was our second time there. The first time was a month before that & already deserved five stars: great service, great ambience, great music, & great food! So much so that we decided to go there after our wedding.)
