    a tray of meat and vegetables
    Areej Q.

    Oh dear.. where do I begin? At times when I'd work nearby and needed something quick for lunch, I'd drop by and order take out. On my last visit, I ordered a chicken kebab sandwich and for whatever reason the person who rang me up was not the one making my order. Somehow there was a mix-up and instead of a chicken kebab sandwich, another employee was making a cold pre-packed beef shawarma and adding it to my pita. At first, thought nothing of it cause figured she was preparing another order until she asked me what toppings I wanted in my wrap and I said chicken kebab! Instead of making another sandwich, she proceeds to remove the beef shawarma that's already mixed in with lettuce, tomato, tahini sauce and hummus though there were pieces left behind and adding in my cooked chicken. It was abysmal especially since my expression said it all. The woman asked if this was alright and I said no, I want another sandwich. She was irked by my request, minimally adding in new toppings and refusing to acknowledge her error. When asked by the other employee (person who rang me up) why there's two sandwiches, she looked at me displeased and snidely responds, this sandwich is for us. While waiting for my new chicken kebabs to cook, I was watching her remove a cucumber from its plastic wrap and chop it up without washing. I was observing this and put off by what I was seeing. The care for hygiene was thrown out the window. These cucumber slices were being used for the salad preparation! When it came time to dress my sandwich up, she asked if I wanted cucumber. I adamantly refused. At that point my appetite was waning. I wasn't looking forward to eating. By the time I was in and out, twenty minutes had elapsed. There was one other customer that had come in and the service was ridiculously slow. My take out order turned into dining in, which also caused a bit of a fuss. I ended up eating the pieces of chicken while discarding the pita bread and its fixings. The sandwich left a lot to be desired. Following that incident, two weeks later, I had another poor experience not by my own doing. One evening after a long work day and coming back home to an empty fridge, a housemate had picked up a mixed grill family pack.. three of us were invited to eat. When we did, the taste and quality of both the chicken and meat was awful. None of us were able to consume the food in front of us. It was inedible. I don't know how quality could deteriorate so quickly in a matter of months but somehow this place takes the cake.

We ordered "Kashk o Bademjan" and "Pomegranate Salad". We really loved the salad as it was a great balance between the sauce and the ingredients. For main, we ordered "Isfahan Platter" which included one skewer of beef tenderloin and one skewer of ground lamb. The kebabs were tender and perfectly grilled. "Yogurt Drink" here is a must-try. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Onto to the food, Kashko Bademjan, I was not expecting the strong taste of goat cheese in this dip which was the prominent flavour. It came paired with bread, Hummus, was good Starting with the kabobs, Torsh Joojeh Kebab this was the chicken breast, the chicken it's self was flavourful but the overall dish was dry. Queens Koobideh,. The minced lamb kabob was delicious. The service was a hit and miss, one of them was sweet and welcoming. The other not so much, she seemed to irritated by our questions or presence. A few things to note: For a large party, each person must order an Entree, you cannot share even though some Dishes are large. They add a 20% gratuity for larger parties Some dishes are pricey $43 for chicken/beef.

Having eleven guest we found the table seating very cramped still to the point that guest were elbowing each other, it would have been nice if the restuarant had another table allocated for us just for more space. I ordered the Dizi (Abgoosht). It came with a soup that was a bit greasy, yogurt, pickled sides and a stewed lamb. It was well cooked but I wish the food was seasoned a bit less. Some of the kabob ordered by another guest made of ground beef was an oversalted hamburger meat in shape of kabob...it was not impressive. With our large party I thought it would be interesting to comment the restaurant automatically applied 15% tip. I would give this another try but perhaps not as a big party. It's also interesting to note none of the servers were not Persian. Salamati!

    Love the cozy and eclectic space & decor. The food was very authentic & good quality (according to…read moremy Persian friends). The service was quite friendly too. Tip#1: Add a bit (or a lot!) of Sumac seasoning (dark red powder in the shaker bottle) onto your kebob meat. It has an almost sour fruity taste which really balances out and adds an unique edge to the meaty kabobs. Tip#2: You'll get small packets of butter that you're supposed to mix & melt into your rice. //APPETIZERS// We tried their Maast-e Saadeh (yogurt dip) with Persian flatbread, Zeitoon Parvardeh (olives), and the Kal Kabob (eggplant with ground walnut & pomergranate) which was my favourite and quite sour. //ENTREES// I tried the Kubideh and Jujeh (Chicken Breast) Kabob, which were both delicious and juicy. The Kabob-e-Torsh veal sirloin meat was too tough, while the the pomegranate walnut molasses was interesting to try, know that it's quite sour too! I also substituted the rice for the salad which was too overdressed with vinaigrette. //DESSERT// My ABSOLUTE favourite thing we had was the Saffron Rosewater Ice Cream. It's beautifully plated and has the perfect balance of creamy, floral, and sweet flavours with crunchy pistachio & pomergranate seeds. I would come back to Sheherzade literally just to have that amazing Saffron Rosewater Ice Cream again & again!

We peeked inside. It was busy and with quite a few Persians. We decided to try it. I am so glad that we tried it. Everything that we ordered was outstanding. We got the Rayhoon trio sampler, Addas Palo, and lamb shank. The trio sampler was basically 3 different dippings and came with a basket of bread. The owner was very nice. While we were enjoying the food, he walked up and greeted. He explained how we could use the trio sampler to enjoy the entrees which really made it even better. Following the suggestion, I put a little bit of lamb sauce over the rice and put a little bit of yogurt sauce over a small piece of lamb, then ate them all in one spoon.... It was amazing!

This place focuses on Persian dishes, so the menu is a little different, but that's exactly what makes it interesting. We tried a couple of traditional items and everything was full of flavor. The bread was fresh and warm, and the dishes had that rich, comforting feel you don't usually get from typical brunch places. You can really taste the spices and how everything is made with care. The atmosphere is cozy and has a really authentic vibe, but it's not a big space, so it does get busy and there's usually a wait--especially on weekends. Service was friendly and helpful, especially if you're new to Persian food and not sure what to order. Overall, this is a great spot if you want something different from the usual brunch routine. Just come with a little patience and enjoy the experience.
