The food was delicious and the service was very good. The atmosphere was nice and clean. The only downside was the waiting time, otherwise it would have been a full 5 stars. Overall, a great experience and I would recommend it.

One of the sweet spots for Persian Food; a favorite since before the COVID era, and still as vibrant and delightful as ever. Their food quality is very good with a wide range of options on the menu. Prices are reasonable, leaning toward the higher end of midrange. Staff are always welcoming, friendly and professional. Whether you’re craving for Kabobs, Persian Stews or Halim, give them a try!

Came highly recommended as a great takeout option. In general, not many options in midtown for Persian cuisine. Looking around at the plates of food coming out I decided to dine in instead. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Food was tasty, delicious and hit the spot. Will be back again!

Your « mahiche and sour cherry rice » were absolutely amazing, but even before the food, what truly stood out was your exceptional customer service. Even though your ordering time had ended, you still took our order, and we’re truly grateful for your kindness. The takeout package was very well-prepared, and you even included complimentary drinks and yogurt for us — such thoughtful touches! All of this made us feel genuinely appreciated as customers and made the experience so memorable. Unlike most of our experiences with Iranian restaurants in Toronto, you were simply outstanding. We’d love to come back again!

Absolutely amazing! We ordered food for 10 people and every single guest couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. The flavors were perfect, the portions were generous, and the presentation was fantastic. Our guests were beyond impressed, and honestly, so were we! This restaurant truly exceeded all expectations – highly recommended

First time here: It was full , and there were no seats available. Time was at 830PM on a Wednesday evening. Fortunately enough the supervisor on duty was nice enough to come outside to look for me, to let me know that there was a seat available. It was about 2 minutes after I left the restaurant due to being at full capacity. I got the beef skewer, and bread. Food was quick to get. Service was good, and hostess would check up on me to make sure I was taken care of. I would come again, but maybe at a different time. Kudos again for the supervisor to come get me so I can enjoy the food.
