The food itself was delicious…read more We didn't experience the ambiance since we placed a delivery order. However, I have to give this two stars because we ordered two items specifically for several vegetarians in our party: the ghormeh sabzi and the gheimeh. Based on the descriptions provided on Uber Eats, there was no indication whatsoever that either dish contained meat. We had never had Persian food before, so naturally, we relied on the restaurant's own menu descriptions when ordering. What makes this especially frustrating is that the descriptions listed multiple ingredients in each dish while completely omitting the meat. Meat is not a minor garnish or an ingredient customers should be expected to infer--it is a fundamental part of a dish and something customers need to know before ordering, particularly those with dietary restrictions. Worse, one of the vegetarians in our party actually ate some of the food before realizing there was meat in it. They have deliberately maintained a vegetarian diet and would never have knowingly chosen to eat meat, so realizing afterward that they had unknowingly broken that commitment was genuinely upsetting. This could have been avoided by simply including the word "beef" or "meat" in an accurate description of the dish. Everyone had been looking forward to trying the food, but a significant portion of our large order ended up going to waste. Since we ordered late in the evening, the vegetarians in our party were left with essentially nothing to eat and had to settle for chips. The food was genuinely good, which makes this even more disappointing. Accurate menu descriptions are a very basic expectation. Customers should not need prior knowledge of Persian cuisine or have to Google every unfamiliar dish to discover that the restaurant left a major ingredient out of its own description.

Most importantly, the food was delicious and full of flavor. The chicken kabobs were the highlight of our meal--tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, with a satisfying texture in every bite. The fresh juice was also delicious and refreshing, and we really enjoyed the sabzi plate, which added a fresh and flavorful element to the table. The only dish we didn't care for was the mast-o-mousir, but everything else was excellent and made the meal enjoyable. Overall, Toranj Restaurant is a great place to enjoy flavorful Persian food with good service. We had a lovely meal, appreciated the inviting dining experience, and would happily return.

I got the kabob combo #3 with chicken and steak with rice $24.99. It was a little under seasoned for me because I like bold flavors and lots of spices. But that's just my preference. Nice presentation and plate. The space is well ventilated and not crowded. I came at 2pm ish in the afternoon so after the lunch rush and had a seat.

It took 10-15 minutes just to seat us, even though there were clearly open tables. They didn't even have a hookah menu, so we had no idea what flavors or options they offered. After finally ordering, one hookah took about 45 minutes to arrive. Later, we ordered just fries and a bottle of water. After waiting over 30 minutes, neither had arrived. Meanwhile, we watched customers who came after us receive multiple plates of food. We finally gave up, paid, and left. When we mentioned the wait, the server had the audacity to say, "You just ordered the fries." It had already been over 30 minutesand what about the bottle of water? The entire experience made us feel like our table was being ignored or treated differently. Extremely disappointing service.
