I'm no expert on Iranian food but after sampling all the appetizers, having a main course and dessert (hey I hadn't eaten all day!) I'm pretty darn sure that this is the real deal. The atmosphere is relaxed and it was good value. And to tourists who end up on Yonge Street I want to say... stay away from the tourist traps and try this place. I think my favourite thing was the smoked eggplant dip appetizer. The waitress told me they charcoal smoke the eggplant. Mmmmm.
