Loved this place. Get the nan & paneer and koobideh loghmeh as apps & bareh torsh as the main. Super flavorful and juicy. So good. And don't forget the pomegranate wine!!

Best Persian food apart from mama’s kitchen. Especially the torsh kebab! Don’t see how it can get any better.

Great food, great drinks, and amazing people...make sure you try the Torsh (tenderloin marinated with pomegranate and walnuts and grilled over an open flame) a must have!

As per our waiter's recommendation, we ordered, mirza ghasemi, koobideh, and torsh kabob. All 3 were absolutely delicious.

Very nice Middle Eastern restaurant. Pricey though. Highly recommended

I went here years ago with my friend K. Didn't have much except some shisha, and chai which I remember was very good. More of a coffeehouse than a bar.

About main courses My advice is the beef because is a real meal size. And for dessert i don't know but baklava cake was nothing special

One of my favorite bars in the city. Try the Torsh kabab. Very rare Persian dish. The only place that serves it properly.

Be prepared to spend $20 to smoke a hookah, plus $10/person on food or drinks- thats the minimum. Really nice atmosphere, though.

After you try the chargrilled tenderloin 'chenjeh', be sure to have a few puffs of mango hookah (sheesha). you might even run into Jian Ghomeishi ;)

A very nice place. Reading the FAQ I felt a sense of self-confliction (khod dargiri).

About main courses the sheep cheese is like a appetizer don't order is too small
Sepideh AlaviMarch 19, 2014
Been here from 9:30 and still waiting for my dish for about 1 hour and 45 min!
Jo BullMarch 13, 2010
I love the Nan o Paneer and the Torsh... but the Del (cow's heart) is also incredible.

Well no more hookah here. Apparently it's illegal in Toronto 🤔
Balca ArdaOctober 20, 2018
Definetely overrated and expensive. King is naked but nobody says that because it is on a golden plate
Oleg RApril 20, 2013
