| - I was a bit skeptical going to this place after seeing the reviews since a lot of people seemed to have had negative experiences here.
With that being said, I was pleasantly surprised.
Location: tucked in the North of Toronto, the place is easy to find. I liked the decor a lot, reminds you of Persepolis and southern iran.
Food: we got a mix of dishes as appetizers. We had the spinach borani, kashke bademjan and eggplant kebab. The bread is freshly baked and tasty, so try not to eat too much of it so you can enjoy the actual food. The eggplant kebab was really good! With ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses stuffed, it was the perfect mix.
For main dishes, we got a mix of kebabs. Generally, the lamb and beef ones were better tasting than the chicken ones. The kebab torsh was specially good.
In terms of dessert, we were too full to get anything heavy, so opted for some tea and small baklava. Persian baklava is not the same as Turkish or Palestinian baklava so keep that in mind. But given that the tea is unsweetened, the baklava's sweetness is just right!
Service: this is where the lock comes. Our server was great, but the problem here is the shortage of servers. There weren't many people when we first arrived, but as more people started to come in, service slowed down because there weren't many servers working.
