This one came from my heart that I had to give a non stellar review. First of all they didn't treat me with the same friendliness as other Persian places in fact there was a man who stared at me a couple of times but didn't smile or say anything while working at the back prepping the food. I didnt think too much about it and proceeded to place an order after a family of 4 placed their order and took their time in doing so! Still annoyed but I decided with a deep breath and managed to get the attention of the lady who was taking the orders. I said to her 2 vaziris and she said okay what kind of soup do you want? I ordered one of each the lentil and barley soup as each meal comes with a choice of SALAD or soup but it was too late because she for some reason didn't mention the salad but instead gave me choices for soup. That went over my head until I sat down and heard her say salad or soup was the side choices to another customer in line. Annoyed again I decided to have my ice cream from Baskin Robbins that I picked up just before coming by. Thank God for the ice cream it made the time pass which was 10 minute wait. Not to mention everyone was staring at me and for the first time I actually felt out of place at a Persian restaurant and I started to question why I thought of coming by that day. Still anticipation for the food I was hopeful. Eventually picked up my order and paid I left saying wow the bag is big and heavy I hope it will tastes amazing. When I got home and opened up the first box I was staring at A LOT of polo aka saffron infused basmati rice.. And the standard skewer of koobideh and juje kabab. There was a quarter of a tomato? Since when?? other places I've been going to for years always gives me a whole bbq tomato! On top of that the quarter tomato was barely over the flames
Now came the part when my heart sank was when I had my first taste of the food. It was simply the most awkward moment for me because for the first time I said to myself wow where is all the flavour???!!!! Seriously the food was ok quality and portion was Not so bad however it was so incredibly tasteless that I was shocked. The soup was worst with zero flavour and weird gelly texture. I am stunned the quality and flavour both was heavily lacking. Will not be returning any time soon. I told my dad I was sorry for grabbing take out from this place for our meals. Yonge and Steeles or Finch areas offer fantastic take out and I will be coming by soon!
