One of my favourite places for a weekend brunch in Toronto. Not only is the food delicious & authentic (says my Persian friend who I always go with), you also get to eat breakfast ON A DAMN CARPET. And what makes this place #1 is that there's hardly ever a line, especially if you go around 10-11.
My go-to here is the haleem, porridge with falling-apart lamb shreds, cinnamon and sugar on top. I never would have realized meat & cinnamon sugar would go so well together...but they do! As far as all the other dishes go, I've yet to have a bad one come under my nose. The eggs with smoked salmon are notably delicious. My one complaint was that I found the dizi undersalted, but what do I know about dizi. What I do know is that Takht-e-Tavoos has a gorgeous space, great food, and nice service.
