It's hard to miss this place as you walk down Yonge street. Sometimes you can smell the BBQ from the street and you'll suddenly feel hungry. I have a growing addiction to Persian food. Their kebobs have this awesome smoky flavor to it. Their rice is so fluffy. Recently I discovered their stews and I'm very happy that they serve stews here for a reasonable price.
I had their kebobs + rice and salad combos several times. It's delicious. Like many Persian places, you can expect tons of rice and mouth watering kebobs. You can get various cuts of meat ranging from ground beef to steak, chicken leg or chicken breast. They also have lamb.
What really made me write a review was the stew. I had fesejan (spelling?) at Pomegranate Restaurant for $15 + tax and tip. Here it's $9 + tax!! But I have to admit it doesn't taste as amazing though. But it's passable and I'd definitely order it again. I'll try the other stews too! The stews don't look appetizing but if the fesejan was any indication, they must be super delicious.
Prices are on par with the other Persian places in the area. They don't give you free pop but that can be overlooked. After a year, I still prefer Super Khorak's kebobs since they are on average cheaper and comes with a pop (but no salad). But if I want stews, Taftan is the place to go.
