Being married to an Iranian, you get familiar very quickly with good vs. mediocre Persian food, and this place never fails to disappoint! Their specials are very interesting and they offer more traditional fare compared to the usual kebab places that pop up frequently around Toronto. Food is very fresh and flavourful, although if you are not a fan of lamb or a vegetarian the menu will be more limited for you, although the eggplant dishes are great. Their lamb shank is out of this world, fall-off-the bone, and I highly recommend the jeweled rice (morasah polow) and mirza ghasemi eggplant. The staff is always lovely and accomodating and very knowledgeable about the food/language. For some extra fun reserve the "takht" to sit on at the back and don't forget to finish off the meal with tea!
