We tried the lamb shank & fesenjoon at Café Toranj & really enjoyed our meal. The lamb shank was good, tender, & nicely cooked. The highlight for us was the fesenjoon, which was amazing. It had the perfect balance of sweet & sour flavors, rich & comforting, just the way traditional fesenjoon should taste. Overall, a very satisfying experience & a great place for Persian food.

Even one star is too much for this restaurant. We went there yesterday, & I ordered Ash Reshteh while my husband ordered Mirza Ghasemi. Both dishes were awful. The Ash Reshteh did not include kashk, & it was not fresh at all, it tasted very bad. We were there with our friends, & we were all unhappy with the food quality

The Mirza Ghasemi was very bad. The eggplant was not grilled at all & tasted like it was from a can. The dish was not well cooked & not well prepared

We were at Toranj last night to celebrate Yalda. The food was perfect. The fesenjoon, albaloo polo, ghanbar polo, & aash were delicious-just like homemade cooking. The staff are truly kind & joyful, & they do their work with love. I really appreciate it. I wish I lived nearby so I could come every day.

We had lunch at this café & really enjoyed it. The coolest part was the unique main dishes on the menu. Even as a persian, it was my first time trying Gham-bar Polo Shirazi, & I loved the slightly sweet taste. Gheimeh Nesar was another great choice. The main dishes also come with a small yogurt on the side.
