| - Solid.
It's been my mission for a while now to befriend a Persian person so that they could tell me what to eat and where. I'd been trying all the joints up and down Yonge up north by myself, never straying too far from the barbecued stuff. I was loving it but I wish I knew more about how people actually ate the foods, what they might choose, what combinations went well together, what else I should try, etc.
It took me a while - who knew my social circles were so homogenous? - but I finally met Sweetheart's colleague's wife, who is Persian, and she recommended this place. She said the chef used to work in a fancy restaurant back in the old country, or something.
I was really excited to try this place and it didn't disappoint (although again, I stuck to my go-to of the vaziri platter, which is a skewer of minced meat and a skewer of chicken - I prefer dark meat).
The meat was a little bit try but it was really well flavoured and everything was freshly prepared when we ordered them. The portions and prices were fair, although to be honest, some of the places around Yonge & Steeles that have no English menus at all seem to have slightly bigger portions for slightly lower prices. But this place is a step up, decor and ambience-wise.
Because this place is quite far from me and I have a closer option now, I probably won't make the trek all the way too often, but I did enjoy and would recommend it.
