We went to Takht-e Tavoos today to celebrate one of our friend’s birthday, and we had an amazing time. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, and the overall experience was far better than many other breakfast places we’ve tried.
Our server was absolutely amazing — attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. Everything ran smoothly, and everyone in our group left happy and satisfied.
Highly recommend Takht-e Tavoos for a relaxed and enjoyable Persian breakfast experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Some restaurants make me want to come back every day, but not this one, as it’s only open for weekend brunch, so mark your calendars unless you want to wait a bunch. The Safavid is the miracle alarm clock that actually jolts your taste buds awake - three crisped sunnyside-up eggs with a jammy yolk, partnered with the mini lamb meatballs that are astonishingly juicy and savory, perfumed with sumac for a subtle tart lift to the rich caprine aromas. The plate comes alive with its sides: feta, cucumber, radish, pickled cabbage, and pomegranate-marinated olives (zeytoon parvardeh) that bring a sweet, tangy complexity. Each bite wrapped in toasted flatbread, slightly blistered and crisp, becomes a display in contrasts: richness and freshness, salt and tang, chew and crunch, brimming with balance, and you’ll be well rewarded eating with your hands. Further highlighting the ubiquitous presence of flatbread, a humble yet deeply satisfying dip of smoky eggplant, garlic and tomatoes presents a tender richness, carrying a gentle tang and underlying sweetness from the tomatoes, while the smokiness is profound but never acrid, and benefits from a touch more salt. Doubling down on lamb, this classic Persian stew, consisting of chickpeas, white beans, potatoes, tomatoes, and our caprine friend feels more like a ritual than a meal. First, you pour out the soup, then mash the tender solids into a rich paste. The tomato-based broth glows with a subtle acidity and sweetness that frame the lamb’s deep aroma beautifully, spiced with an earthy, piquant Persian blend. The lamb itself is beautifully tender, with both lean and rendered fatty pieces that melt on the tongue, releasing a clean, lamby richness. Chickpeas and beans lend body and creaminess, while the potato gives it a rustic heft. The pickled torshi cuts through all that richness with a mellow, acidic tang, while the flatbread soaks all the goodness up.

We had Dizi and Panir Boroshte. I’d say their Dizi is the best in Toronto. Highly recommend

I enjoyed brunch at takht-e tavoos. They have a lot of options that are new and different and tasted good. It felt like visiting a cosy home with warm meals.

Delicious food with always lovely and colorful dishes. They look so good that every time I go there with friends, we have to take a photo of the dishes before we start eating them.
Friendly staff and a cozy, yet vibrant atmosphere. The beautiful Persian paintings, calligraphy, poems, and music give it a really authentic character for an affordable Persian brunch restaurant.
Highly recommend this place if you want to try Persian style breakfast/ brunch. The staff are also pretty helpful and nice.

Terrible food. I visited this place 3 years ago and it was outstanding, this time was quiet a turn around. Terrible! Poor food choices and the poor taste
