Great place with Gluten Free options! Most dishes are naturally gluten free anyway. The taste is so beautiful with all the flavours, and the portions are excellent. You can share, or order individually, there's something for everyone. We truly loved our experience here and will be back.

Beautifully designed restaurant . Food is good but not. Freshly made . Service is great served in metal dishes . Nice artwork on the walls Nonalcoholic drink was great but the cocktail did not taste as great too much alchohol and they remade it but still we could not drink it . Definitely recommend it for ambiance . Gheime nessa is good

Our favourite Persian restaurant is Toronto. Delicious food delivered with friendly service in a beautiful space decorated with Persian modern art. Highly recommended!

I had an excellent dining experience at Queen of Persia. The Jewel Rice was exquisite—the combination of saffron, barberries (zereshk), and orange zest created a beautifully balanced sweet and tangy flavor. While the rice itself was incredible, the chicken was slightly on the dry side, but still a standout dish. The Soltani Kebab was superb—koobideh tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. They have a new chef preparing the kebabs, and the difference is noticeable. The quality and execution were flawless, making it one of the best Soltani platters I've had. To top it all off, the pistachio ice cream was a delight—rich, creamy, and fragrant, the perfect sweet note to end the meal. Overall, excellent food with top-tier quality, though it is on the pricier side. If you're looking for authentic Persian cuisine with exceptional flavors, Queen of Persia is definitely worth a visit!

We went to this restaurant for Valentine's Day, and we had a great experience. There were live musicians, which were not too loud so that people could still maintain their conversations, and the food was amazing especially the beef koobideh. At the beginning of the night, a waitress came around and gave a rose to each table which we thought was a nice touch and at the end of the night they gave each table a box with a heart on it and two chocolate covered strawberries inside with two different designs on them . To us that was the cherry on top of a great experience. We really enjoyed the saffron ice cream, which had little pistachios in it and we loved the golden tequila drink. The interior is quite nice as well and the service was overall really friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back.

We had a kebab platter, fesenjoon, and a serving or mast-moosir. The food was good, but some of the flavouring was a bit off from what I'm used to. The chicken was a bit dry as well. The desserts were very good however- highly recommend the pistachio icecream. Volume level- the music got a bit too loud at times, making it difficult to hear my friend speaking right beside me.

It’s my third time here and will continue to come back! This place is so nice. The food is an amazing mix of sweet and salty and spices. We tried the non-alcoholic drinks and where superb! The service was very nice and they had live piano music! The portions are generous so prepare to eat lots!

I tried Dizi, and it was absolutely amazing! The tender lamb, perfectly cooked chickpeas, and rich spices reminded me of the authentic flavors of Iran. Mashing the ingredients together added a fun, traditional touch, and the fresh Sangak bread was perfect for savoring every bite. With its warm atmosphere and great service, is a must-visit for anyone craving genuine Iranian cuisine!

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The food was terrible—whoever thought it was a good idea to put rose water on kabobs clearly missed the mark. The kabobs had no spice and tasted like raw meat. The rice was dry, undercooked, and old. There was no salad, just a small amount of cabbage that was sweetened with sugar, which was bizarre.

The menu was complicated and didn’t match the prices listed. They charged way more than what was reasonable, and didn’t explain any of the extra costs.

Overall, this restaurant doesn’t deserve even one star. I will not be returning.

Current 4.4 stars is an unfair rating for this amazing Persian restaurant. The flavors are authentically Persian, the portions are generous, and the staff are warm and welcoming. The decor beautifully reflects Persian culture, and the place is impeccably clean. Highly recommend!

Tried this restaurant in summer 2024 after hearing from friends. The service was good, but unfortunately the food was very average.
There are better Persian restaurants in Toronto with better quality food.
