Iranian Restaurants near Vaughan, ON

“food was amazing service very slow“

“This place was amazing! I came here with my dad and the owner was super nice and made us feel like we were eating in her kitchen. Super fulfilling and healthy. I definitely recommend this place to everyone.“

“Absolutely incredible experience! We had the Baghali Polo with Lamb Neck, and it was amazing, so tender and flavorful. We also tried the Koobideh Kebab, and that was just as delicious. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and full of flavor.
The portions are HUGE! After eating at the restaurant, we still had enough to take home what felt like four extra portions!
To top it all off, they welcomed us with complimentary salad, Coke, and cucumber yogurt, which was such a thoughtful and generous touch.“

“I loved the persian meal . Big portion & very juicy Kebab! Ali , his customer service was really excellent! Ali“

“Late Night Pizza Bar is absolutely amazing! 🍕 The pizza is always hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. The crust is perfectly crispy, the toppings are generous, and the cheese is just right. The atmosphere is chill, perfect for hanging out late, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. Definitely my go-to spot for late-night cravings — highly recommended!“

“I tried the sandwiches here with my friends, and honestly, I enjoyed every single bite because it tasted exactly like the sandwiches back in Iran. The moment my friends took their first bite, I just watched them — and I could see the smile on their faces. It was that familiar, delicious taste we had all been craving.

You won’t believe it, but these sandwiches are so big that sometimes they can even fill up two people! But despite knowing we might end up with a stomachache later, we all ate with so much love and joy — like we were tasting a piece of our sweet past.

Honestly, this is the first place in Canada where I truly felt the authentic taste of an Iranian sandwich.
And if you’re like me — a Shirazi — and you miss the taste of Pamchal Hot Dog or Hailar Kolbasa and Jambon ( Roasted Beef & Chicken Deli), I highly recommend you come here. I’m sure the moment you take your first bite, a big smile will appear on your face.“

“The sousis bandari is absolutely delicious! 👌🏻“

“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!“

“Best takeout Koobideh! Children love it. Reliable. Fresh. Good portion. Reasonably priced!“

“Pariya Kababs is one of those rare gems where every bite feels like home-cooked comfort. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of saffron and grilled meat pulls you in — a clear sign you’re in for something special.

I tried their Koobideh and Saffron Chicken (Joojeh), and honestly, they were among the best I’ve had in Toronto.
The koobideh was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned — no dryness or off flavors, just that rich, savory taste you want from good ground beef kababs.
The saffron chicken was beautifully marinated, full of flavor, and grilled just right. Everything was served with freshly baked bread and fluffy saffron rice topped with butter. Delicious!“

“This was an amazing experience! The food was the best Persian food I’ve ever had in Canada — absolutely delicious and authentic. The service was also excellent; our waitress, Mahsa, was very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better.

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.“

“Great quality food. Delicious. You need to try Rumi's!“

“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.“

“I have just gone gluten-free due to health reasons, and have been researching pastries I can still eat. Today, I bought 2 mini almond orange cakes at BB -- gluten- and dairy-free -- the only regularly available gluten-free pastries/cakes they sell. They were absolutely delicious. I would eat them again in a heartbeat. FANTASTIC.“

“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.“

The staff were attentive, friendly, and professional while making us feel completely comfortable. The food was outstanding, with every dish full of fresh flavors and beautifully prepared. From start to finish everything felt thoughtful and high quality. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing dining experience.“

“I always buy from Bibi’s Pastry Shop and I’m truly satisfied. Their desserts are absolutely top-notch, especially the chocolate cake and the pistachio-pineapple cake—they’re just unbeatable. The ice creams are also really delicious. Overall, it’s a five-star experience every time. Thanks to Bibi“

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!“

“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.“

“My wife and I stopped in here not sure what to get, we were offered to try something and it was delicious. It was a hot day and my wife and thought she had no appetite, was just getting a drink (they have Fanta!). She took a bite, and then proceeded to eat half of two sandwiches. The chicken tantuni in particular was perfect - good chicken, and the seasoned wrap made it delicious.“

“سلام به هم میهنان عزیز خواستم تجربه خودم را با شما به اشتراک بگذارم. دیشب از کاتیج پیتزا در میدان محسنی نورث یورک ، برای شام خرید کردیم، جای همه دوستان خالی، کیفیت پیتزاش بسیار عالی بود، و مزه و خاطرات خوش ایران رو برای ما زنده کرد. همانطور که گاهی نسبت به سرویس رستوران ها و بیزنس ها گله مند هستیم، شایسته است از آنهائی که سرویس خوبی دارند و مشتری مداری را سرلوحه کارشون قرار داده اند یاد کنیم.“

“One of the best Persian food in the gta ,I’ve been a customer of their Richmond hill location and they never disappoint at any of their locations , food is always fresh and flavour full , special thanks to Zohreh, Neja and Khatereh for their hard work and making our dining memorable“

“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.“

“Food is just simply amazing. We’ve tried all the kebabs and can’t go wrong with any of them. The hamburgers are massive and delicious. We usually order platter #2 as our family dinner when we have family over. Thank you for offering quality food. Keep up the great work“

“I went to Anoush on Rimrock last week, I mentioned it was my birthday and they gave me a free Lentil Soup. The wraps are chockful of veggies and the chicken...they make a great Shwarma!

You will get fast service, great food and at a reasonable price for sure!“

“Pros:
Good Quality meat
Nice and professional staff
Easy to access location
Reasonable prices

Cons:
Some special cuts are not available which should not be a big deal for 95% of customers.

I recommend this place.“

“Perfect selection, the fresh bread is our favorite but there is a wide selection of Mediterranean, Persian and other delicious new food to try.

There is fresh made kebabs restaurants at the back of the store. The best rice and meat we have ever had.

Thankyou again, and again!

*edit: 2025 Aug Still great!“
