First time trying Persian food - in Richmond Hill. In a strip mall just south of downtown off…read moreYonge Street. Clientele was all Persian people so must be good. 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. No way close to finishing it all - lots of leftovers. Service was quick - felt a bit rushed at times. Reasonably priced. Will try other menu items in future

I tried this Persian (Iranian) restaurant-Shishlix recently and really liked it. The food was…read moredelicious and full of flavor. I had kebabs with rice, and the meat was very tender.

Traditional Platter 2 Two skewers of Beef Koobideh, one stew Gheymeh, one stew Ghormeh sabzi, three Saffron Basmati Rice , 3 pops 2. Platter 2 Combination of 4 skewers of kebabs: beef tenderloin, chicken leg, two skewers of ground beef, two Saffron basmati rice and two pops 3. Kashkeh Badenjan Roasted eggplant mixed with a unique Persian sauce (kashk), sautéed onion & garlic, mint, and bread. 4. Baghali Polo & Mahicheh Braised lamb shank in our special sauce, serving with basmati rice mixed with fava beans & dill. Everything was super delicious. The kebobs were nice and juicy and flavourful. The beef tenderloin was somewhat over cooked, but ell the other kebobs were cooked perfectly. I'm a sucker for Persian stews. The Gheymeh and the sabzi were both amazing. The lamb shank was also amazing with lots of nice spices. The roast eggplant was delicious.

They were enjoying some wine when the hostess asked them to leave, which was disappointing. Still, the platter was flavorful and satisfying.

Atmosphere and staff were lovely, food itself was ok…read more The restaurant has a nice interior design, something you wouldn't expect from the outside. I can imagine it has a great ambiance when it's dark outside and the lights would give the inside a cozy feeling. For a restaurant, price is a little bit more on the higher end, not too much, but given the entire set-up, I guess it makes sense. The kebab itself was kinna meh. It was juicy and tender, but a bit underwhelming in flavor. I recommend the spot for the atmosphere, but not so much for the taste.

We ordered Kabab and Baghali Polo. It was our best experience in Toronto. They also are on-time and…read morereally fair. The price in compare of value is really fair and even low. The food was hot and fresh and we really enjoyed.

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

Food quality and taste exceeded my expectations. Service was…read moregood, if a bit slow. Once our order was taken, the food came out quickly. We had to get someone's attention to pay the bill. Ambiance was cozy and comfortable. Now, on to the food. Fattoush salad was really good. The dressing had the perfect tang, and all the ingredients were FRESH. Meats were beautifully cooked. Juicy and tender. The biggest surprise was the watermelon juice. I didn't expect it to be a slushie! The weather today was kind of warm, so it was a welcome refreshment.

There are no tables at this primarily take-out spot…read more While their prices are competitive, their koobideh is usually dry and their chicken is also on the dry side. They tend to overcook it. Taftan used to be my go-to place for Persian kebab but nowadays there are so many options in Richmond Hill that Taftan is no longer my go-to spot. It's kinda sad to see so many 1-star reviews - some justified some not at all. I hope Taftan's Management reads these reviews and takes action to improve their operations.

The team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The service was attentive, warm, and well-organized, even with a group of our size. The food was absolutely delicious across the board, with every dish beautifully prepared and full of flavour. The restaurant itself has stunning decor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We were especially grateful to have a dedicated section for our group, which made the event feel even more intimate and special. We had a mix of kids and adults, and it was the perfect setting for everyone to relax and enjoy a memorable time together. Thank you, Gilaneh, for such a wonderful experience. We're already looking forward to coming back!

A Persian restaurant that is low key, has delicious food and great service…read more It's a bit confusing with if it's a sit down self serve restaurant or full service restaurant. The menus are plastered on the screens by the cash area and you have to order at the front, but then there was a server that brought our food to our table. I'm still not really sure how the ordering/ serving works but that's fine I still enjoyed my meal. Here's what we got for a party of 4: Darbari Platter 5/5 - Loved this platter as it came with 2 skewers of chicken leg, 4 skewers of koobideh and 3 portions of saffron rice, grilled tomato and pepper. It was a great way to try different meats and share with the party. Great tasting meats that it was kind of addicting to eat it with the rice. Ghormeh Sabzi 4/5 - This was a Persian herb stew with tender beef, red kidney beans, and dried lime. Was a great addition to our meal. Kashk Bademjan 5/5 - This was their roasted eggplant dip that paired perfectly with the meats and the meal in general. Overall, thought the flavours were great. Really huge portions, especially the rice component. Delicious and great for sharing!

Their menu includes different variety of kebabs, dizi, Biryan, kebab platters and appetizers. We ordered BBQ Platter #4 and a Soltani Kebab. The presentation is very nice; they arrived in a nice copper platter with salad and grilled vegetables. The taste was okay, but the grilled vegetables were burnt. Even the kebabs were burnt in some parts and that's because they don't use a charcoal bbq. The portion of kebabs were smaller than usual; specifically, Koobideh Kebab was very thin, considering their prices are equal and in some cases higher than other Persian restaurants. The staff are friendly and listen med to our feedback.
