“Fantastic restaurant,all the best Ainaz is a wonderful server.“

“Nika Kitchen has always been a unique and delightful traditional Persian breakfast spot, and now that it has expanded with many more tables, it's even easier to enjoy this special culinary experience!

The menu remains rich in traditional flavors, featuring a variety of classic Persian breakfast dishes that you won't find just anywhere.

The star attraction is, of course, their signature 'Kaleh Pacheh', a hearty stew made from lamb's head, tongue, and feet. While definitely a dish for the adventurous eater, it offers an incredibly rich and satisfying taste that is a must-try.

For those who prefer something lighter, the 'Mashhadi Stew' is a simple yet absolutely delicious choice. It features a comforting combination of bread, mouth-watering chunks of lamb, and diced fried potato with crispy onions.
To complete the authentic experience, you must try the traditional tea. Served with crystallized, Saffron-infused sugar, it's a small detail that is simply delightful and perfectly complements the savory dishes.

The staff at Nika are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, and their warm hospitality always enhances the dining experience. While the prices are on the higher side, the authentic, high-quality food and the unique atmosphere make every visit well worth the cost.

Nika Kitchen provides an excellent, unforgettable taste of traditional Persian cuisine, and the new, larger dining area means you can bring more friends and family to share in the experience!“

I ordered the Chenjeh kebab with rice, which came with a small yogurt bowl and a soft drink. I’m writing this after I finished my meal—so no photos, because it was too good and it’s already gone!

There are many other good things I could mention, but these points alone are enough for me to choose this restaurant again and recommend it to others.“

“We had a great gathering on September 13th at Shishlix Restaurant . The food was great and Simin’s hospitality and sweetness was great as well.“

“We visited this Persian restaurant for the first time and were thoroughly impressed. The grilled chicken skewers were incredibly flavorful and tender, and the braised lamb shank was rich and perfectly cooked. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to try the beef skewers and lamb skewers. If you’re a fan of kebabs, this place is a must-try!“

“What really makes Dorchin special is the amazing hospitality! The owner personally came to our table and chatted with us about Persian food with so much warmth and passion. You can truly feel how much they care — not just about serving great food, but about making sure everyone has a wonderful experience.

We had Kabab Koobideh, and it was sooo delicious — juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled! We also tried Zeytoon Parvardeh and the Iranian Moosir Yogurt, both absolutely incredible.

Can’t wait to go back and enjoy more of those Persian flavors. Highly recommend Dorchin if you want authentic food and genuine hospitality! 🌿“

“Review Title: Beautiful Atmosphere and Great Food, But a Bit Chilly

Review Text:
I had a lovely experience at this restaurant in Yalda night! The atmosphere is absolutely stunning—thoughtfully designed and perfect for a family gathering. The food was delicious, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor.

The only downside was the temperature—it was a bit colder than I would have liked, which made it a little less comfortable. If they could adjust the heating, it would be perfect!

Overall, highly recommended for the ambiance and food.“

“A very cute cafe.I love it. Wanna visit everyday 😍“

“If you're looking for an authentic Persian eatery that serves fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned meals, this cozy spot is a hidden gem. It's best to order a takeout but you can Feast directly from the grill as there is a bit of dining space . The food is bursting with fragrant herbs and perfectly cooked meats, making every bite a delight. The portions are incredibly generous, ensuring you leave satisfied. Everything tastes fresh, from the juicy kebabs to the aromatic rice and crisp salads. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it feel like a home-cooked meal. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Persian cuisine! We thoroughly enjoyed fesanjaan, koobideh and bagali polo with lamb shank .... order n enjoy! With refreshing beverage dhook, frothy yoghurt laced with mint.“

“We recently gathered here to mourn a family member, and everything was handled with care and professionalism. The management and staff were attentive, compassionate, and ensured that the event went exactly as we had hoped. We are truly grateful for their support during such a difficult time.“

“This was my first time ordering from BB Café at Richmond Hill on UberEats, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I had been searching all over the app late night but every place kept cancelling my order and I was honestly about to give up until I scrolled one last time to satisfy my late night dessert craving, and BB Café accepted my order right before closing!!

The desserts arrived fresh, beautifully packaged, and absolutely delicious. And found their BOGO deal on my favourite Swiss roll felt like an unexpected little gift at the end of a long day. For a first-time order, it truly felt like a warm, thoughtful surprise.

Thank you for being the one place that didn’t cancel, for your warm service, and for the quality you deliver even at the end of the day. I’ll definitely be ordering again.“

“Toronto's finest Sangak!
Skillfully prepared by two gracious Persian ladies 👏
When I buy sangak from Super Khorak or other places, I get a sour and burning feeling in my throat and chest (torsh mikonam). I don't get that feeling with this Sangak. I think they use healthier ingredients.“

“I visit Apple Restaurant once a week, and the food quality is truly excellent! The new owner has made a noticeable difference, creating a much better dining experience with a professional and attentive team. They serve a delicious variety of Persian and Middle Eastern dishes that are always fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and a fantastic dining experience. Keep up the amazing work!“

“After going to their yonge and weldrick location for many many years, I happened to be in north Richmond hill (yonge and king road) and saw this other location! What can I say, very friendly welcoming service, clean organized interior and very fresh quality meat. Prices are average compared to the other 500+ kabob restaurants in this area but Taftan seems to stand out simply because of their reputation and large portion sizes. Today I got the barg (filet mignon beef) combo with rice and a side order of a chicken leg skewer. And hey they even threw in free cans of pop, lots of butter packets for the rice, packets of sumac (that tangy but distinct middle eastern red spice), and a pita bread! I’ll be sure to return again.“
