| - I have to catch up on a few reviews for places I have recently enjoyed...
I had been looking for a good Persian place to try fesenjan, and I was in the Yonge/Eglinton neighbourhood recently, so I walked over to where I had seen Darbar Persian Grill from the bus a few times. The restaurant had a warm feel inside, a little up-scale, the lights were low and some quiet music was playing.
The appetizer was greens with walnut and feta cheese, and there was also pita bread. That was all fine. Bottled water for $1 is a current trend that I do not care for, but it seems to be everywhere nowadays. The fesenjan (walnut and pomegranate stew with chicken) was excellent, and it came with a plate of saffron rice. Overall very tasty, the chicken was well-cooked, the rice was neither sticky nor stiff but just right for my taste. I finished with a glass of Persian tea. Total bill was about $30.
The servers were very pleasant; although the service seemed a little slow at the time, I will assume that they were taking their time to make everyone's meal from fresh. Overall, I very much enjoyed my visit, and will have to return at some time to try their kabobs.
