Food looks very colorful but itsvery bland in taste. The meat was cooked at high flame for a short period of time and the result was a partially cooked meat. We were asked by the owner to sit outside for dinner as it was close to their closing time. We were there around 7:40 pm
This is not a fancy Iranian restaurant - kind of to-go style. plastic plates and canteen food that had been lying around all day. I expect a better presentation of the food for the money! well, at least it’s not far from the city center.
I used to love Fiouna’s and come here often a few summers ago. But unfortunately it is NOT the same. They cut down their lunch box to half a skewer and dinner box being one skewer for $16.95. No side is included anymore either and neither is the grilled tomato. Just wanted to make this clear since the restaurant hasn’t made an effort to change their menu and let us know about their changes after we placed our orders
Best falafel around. Thin, crispy coating yields a soft, moist interior packed with flavor. The wrap itself was also very nice. We also enjoyed the stuffed grape leaves which were garnished with a squiggle of mildly spicy red sauce.The restaurant has only a few tables in the dining area but on a warm spring day the AC was appreciated. The staff is very friendly and bid us goodbye as we left.
I’ve been a loyal patron of this business for around 3 years now. I can say confidently that you won’t get better and more authentic Persian food than this little gem on Peterborough street. Another thing I’ve kept track of, if that that not once have they messed up my order. They’ve always been spot on with generous, fulfilling portions. Everything on the menu is made fresh and the quality is actually superb. A special shout out to Melissa for being a great manager as well the owners who are always in the restaurant taking care of their customers.
I like to breakdown the pros and cons of this restaurant :Pros:Friendly staffCleanLocationDelicious Side dishWait time was decentOutdoor sitting is availableCons:No taste or smell of saffron in saffron riceFood was served in disposable polyurethane dishes !!!The utensils are also disposable/plasticOverall, It could be better
Even in Iran, with all that the sanctions had done to people’s pockets, I’ve never seen a kebab this small!! It’s unbelievably overpriced for the quality and quantity.
Food was good but extremely overpriced. Both chicken and beef were charred perfectly and juicy but the amount we got for $50 made it hard to enjoy, felt like we were a little ripped off.
The food presentation was beautiful and I really really wanted to like the food. But for the money I paid, I would not call the food authentic persian. There was no flavor of saffron and lime juice in the kabob and it tasted like a grilled chicken. the grilled tomato was cold and it smelled funny. And the ground beef kabob also lacked flavor and was rubbery.
I have went with my family, service is excellent and the food is delicious, We had the grilled chicken combo and the chelo kababa combo

Not worth the price. We spent over 100 for a meal for 2 . Portions are tiny. And the food was tasteless. Now my gf has her tummy hurting . So now I have to deal with her too .
Food was very tasty, with the specific Persian spices. My daughter really enjoyed the rice with raisins as a side dish. I had the Beef sandwich. A bit pricey overall, thus just 4 Stars from me.
Good Persian food, with reasonable portions and prices. I ordered the ground combo (ground chicken kebab and ground beef kebab). Both were fine, but the chicken kebab was especially tasty. Sides were also exciting and delicious. Both Mast-Khiar and Shirazi salad were good (Shirazi salad was with vineger)
Wonderful customer service! Terrific lamb and delicious saffron ice cream. I regularly ti take out and delivery from Fiouna's and have not once been disappointed. Strongly recommend!
