The soup that came with all the meals was good - even the kids loved it. The different kababs were all delicious, and you could tell that it was fresh. The building itself could use an updating / a refresh, but if that was the only thing to complain about, they're doing pretty good, I think! I would definitely come back next time we're in the area.

Hands down, the best Persian kebab in Toronto. They have a…read moresecret that nobody else can replicate. However, for this very reason, the kebab must be eaten fresh in the restaurant. I absolutely would not recommend takeout or delivery. Essential Dining Tips * Skip the rice: The traditional serving is perfect as is. You only need the kebab and the delicious bread underneath it. * Must try: Their Ghormeh Sabzi is deeply comforting and tastes exactly like home. The Masto Mosir is also excellent, featuring a light garlic balance that won't ruin the rest of your day. Unbeatable Hospitality Beyond the food, the customer service is warm, friendly, and truly homey. The staff makes sure you are well taken care of, making this a restaurant you'll want to revisit often.

Daily soup was a chicken vegetable soup which was decent. Small was $5 bucks (the $2.99 price on…read morethe wall was old) & large was $10. Even small was not small. Lamb shank was good, tender & tasty. It was not large but was only $20. Dill rice was decent. Salary: Chicken breast & kobideh were exceptonally moist & tender. Both were tasty especially the chicken. There was a decent char, which was better on the chicken. Rice was free (ie a huge portion). There was not much saffron rice (nowadays this is standard). It was fluffy but had no burnt bits. It was great value. Both were served with a small salad, which was good, with zesty dressing & fresh vegetables.

Had an olive and pomegranate salad with naan bread. Delicious. Family platter for three came with LOADS of rice and a generous serving of chicken and beef kebabs - see pic.

Absolutely ridiculous…read more So this place is close to my place of work & the only persian place around to deliver , so we usually would order from here despite the ridiculously high pricing for very mediocre food in decent packaging. Theres an older woman who answers the phone when you call, she used to be somewhat friendly years ago. I called yesterday to order for delivery, they state no delivery today. Okay... Order for pickup. I told her my order. In the end , im like can u please tell me the total so we can give money to the guy picking it up? She, with a tremendous amount of attitude as if shes in disbelief goes 'NO?!!' Im like pardon me? Shes like huni, im VERY busy, you expect me to go all the way to the cash to tell u the price total?!? No. Its around 40-50. Thanks bye ..... first of all. Thats YOUR JOB. Im paying you/giving u business. So that nonesense was that . We sent this persian guy who looks white to pick up the food. He walked in earlier than expected , and asked if the foods ready.. this lady continues to give him shit for coming early . THEN PROCEEDS TO TALK SMACK ABOUT HIM IN FARSI IN FRONT OF HIM not knowing hes persian! Saying 'this guy thinks its his aunts store or something he wants to walk in and walk out right away ' & was caught im disbelief when he responded to her in farsi, saying my entire family orders from here and gives you business despite your stupid pricing for half decent food , & you want to treat me this way? Lol okay. You couldve simply said itll be another 5 minutes. Last time i asked them to put extra sauce on my salad , they sent me a BOTTLE of minoo dressing and charged me $4 for it... Get a grip . Never ordering from this shit again NOT RECOMMENDED

I didn't expect Yonge street to have a happening persian restaurant, or anyplace I'd want to spend…read more3 hours, but we came in, enjoyed the live Persian music playing on a Saturday, and enjoyed a Persian feast. When I eat Persian food I like to think of eating in the way I did at my grandmother's house, with a bunch of different food on the table. I don't think I realized how hard this was to do until I tried to cook it myself, so going to a restaurant like Darvish makes this entirely possible in a way that is too hard at home! The Ghormeh Sabzi is good, and of course a must order, the Fesenjan very flavorful, and though I make mine with duck, that's okay. The kebabs are all good and flavorful, and every table has sumac on it because that's what you need to eat the kebabs! We had some Mast-o-Khyar, shirazi salad, and kashk-e-bademjan as a starter with some great barberi bread. Each appetizer was great, the persian beer with saffron was good, everything came together so well. The three hours flew by as we ate, drank, talked, and enjoyed every dish brought to use. By the end of the meal we were surprised at the time and excited for some tea and saffron ice cream. No Persian doesn't finish a meal with tea, so you must! I cannot wait to come back here, from Tahdig to Ghormeh SAbzi it's a hit, and from a price point it's a really good deal.

This is great spot for Persian food in downtown core. With a closure of a decent Persian food place…read morenearby I was mostly relegated to delivery options which though decent aren't the same as getting something fresh of the grill. The setup is functional and somewhat cozy and seems like they cater mainly to the delivery crowd. Consistent flow of take out with a few people dining in. We shared an appetizer combo. The eggplant dip was very good. Hummus being decent with dolma being an acquired taste I feel. I didn't try the salad. I went for the combo of chicken and lamb kebab. I wish I had looked and chosen the bread and rice option as I can only eat this type of rice so much. The kebabs were very good with good quality meat and letting the meat shine with light seasoning. Service was courteous and they were accommodating as well for a person in a wheelchair. I enjoyed my meal and will return. They are somewhat close by and I do enjoy grilled food.
