A friend suggested we go, she had already been earlier that week, which says something about how good it was.
It’s a small family run restaurant that’s been in business for 41 years!
It’s cozy and your food comes relatively quickly.
The kebabs were delicious I got the ground beef and lamb which I really enjoyed.
Would go again.

I had a perfect dining experience at Darvish! The food was exceptional, the service was great, and the atmosphere was lovely.

A special shout-out to our waiter, Babak. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and patient throughout our meal. His excellent service truly elevated the evening.

I highly recommend Darvish and will definitely be returning!

So I'm back with another absolute GEM that I found on my way to the Airbnb. I was visiting downtown Toronto, btw I am gluten sensitive and lactose intolerant so it's kinda hard to find something on a budget AND actually GOOOD. Anyways, food was next level AMAZING quality (I know how to cook) everything was very clean. Very sanitary 100/10. Whole vegeterian menu available. For the vibe, I felt away from the city but also like I was in Europe. Very lovely
