QUEEN OF PERSIA Restaurant

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.

Not the best taste. Its not extraordinary. They used Cardamom in a few dishes we ordered. I dont like it at all. Worth a try not a place to go back. Expensive for the taste. For example, look at the chicken pieces, they are not fried, also there is no salt or pepper on it, it was like a dish you eat in hospital.

We usually uber Ghorme Sabzi and I can guarantee this is the best one you can get! It’s even better than the one you can get in Iran! Food quality is top notch.
We also asked them to give us some extra tahdig as we couldn’t find the option to add the some extras and they didn’t disappoint us 🥲❤️. While many persian restaurants reduce their quality or service, these guys are doing it even better every day.
Can’t wait to be back :)
Thank you so much for making our day every time we order. You guys are amazing ❤️

The food was amazing! I loved everything I ordered. The portions were more than enough, and most of the dishes came with sides.

Small restaurant; somewhat tight. Ambiance was quite good but the decor was all hodge-podge, nothing genuinely Persian. Lots of trinkets and artwork thrown together without much thought.
Service - very good; except the waitress forgot to bring one side dish. When asked at the end the waitress said it was not ready.
Food: The menu claims to represent cuisines from different parts of Iran. Almost all dishes had generous sprinkling of pomegranates seeds. It’s supposedly halal food, but as another reviewer has stated food at a restaurant serving alcohol is not considered halal. Generally the food was great & delicious and portions were generous but probably not to the standards of a discerning palate. We were eating family style so each can savour all the dishes we had ordered.
Fesenjan was ok, a bit too soury for my taste. The salads were great but there wasn’t much of Persia in it.
Chicken kebab excellent and beef kebab were very good but probably not gourmet standard.
All dishes were presented very nicely, quite colourful and served in metal (copper and tin) serving plates and bowls with metal serving spoons. All made to seem ancient and antique but all pastiche.
Went out to get something from the car and was locked out of the restaurant. Knocked for some time and stood there in frigid Toronto weather before caught the eye of a waitress from the window.
Overall quite a descent restaurant but I would not go out of my way to eat here.

Dietary restrictions: Supposedly halal but serve alcohol.

We came here for Yalda celebration night. As probably you might know the restaurant it’s a tiny one, but the problem was that the owner tried to make money from every inch of the space! The distance between tables were not more than 20 cm! So people were hitting each other when going in and out of their seats! The table beside us was made for 4 people, but they sat 5 people there! Our table was a tiny one at exact entrance which was freezing cold when people entering and exiting the restaurant! The food was extremely oily!!!! That you could see rice is swimming in oil! When we got the ticket they told as that main food and appetiser and drinks from menu are all included, but when we ordered the appitiser we noticed that they reduced the appitizer size significantly from the main menu! Which was deceiving! Overall, there are lots of area of improvement for this event
