A rare site of authentic cuisine in Barrie. Good quality grills. The char on the grilled beef skewers is to perfection. The meat has no tissue or cartilage unlike other restaurants I've eaten. Each grain of rice is packed with flavour. Unheard of.
10/10 Food is tasty. Atmosphere is nice. Also the owner is very friendly and attentive.
Absolutely amazing everything we tried was very delicious. the kabab was supper juicy, maste moosir was traditional and very tasty. Definitely recommend it
Food is amazing , large portions and lovely staff, at the end the lady gave the kids lollipops it was very kind of her ❤️
Taste of Persia is definitely Barrie's hidden gem. The atmosphere is perfect, service is perfect and food is absolutely amazing. If you are ever in the mood for good food, Taste of Persia is the place to go.
Came in right before close today for takeout food. The customer service was amazing from the owners. I’ve been craving Persian food for months. I’m glad we found this place. The food is delicious! Will recommend to everyone
After moving to Barrie as a Persian, I discovered Taste Of Persia, and I was incredibly excited. We visited last week and ordered the chef's Kebabs, a fantastic choice for two people. The chicken Leg kebab and Barg (beef) Kebab were superbly juicy and tender. The service was impeccable; the staff was exceedingly polite and friendly. After our meal, the manager, Massi, approached our table, greeted us warmly, and offered Persian black tea with sugar cubes! It was a nostalgic moment; their hospitality reminded me of my kind and welcoming culture. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be returning.
We went to Tandoori Tonight restaurant but came to that’s closed and we have brand New “Taste of Persia” restaurant in Barrie. What an amazing experience of trying Persian cuisine for the 1st time. It was so delicious and staff was also so friendly, as we are unaware about the Persian food they explained us in details and guided us to make right choice. Portion was also great as compare to price. Good Luck!!
Could be better. It can be better
Today I drop one star. As usually I ordered two vaziri kabob, both meals were served without enthusiast of a cook, tomatoes are burned to black, rice wasn t tasty and there were no onions. Meat is as always good, 4 star only for the meat and baklava. If the next time the taste stay the same I will drop 2 stars. I really hope Taste of Persia will be best in Barrie again .
I ordered 2 vaziri, one leg and one breast but both were same! Plus, low quality so never recommended
Ordered Vaziri, it was no good. Kubide was rubbery, thin and felt like there was more onion than meat. Chicken was no good either, didn t taste fresh and for the price paid got very small cuts of meat. After few bites I had to throw it out. Very disappointing.
Amazing food guys
Nice people, delicious food, I tried khoreshte gheimeh today.
We have had dine in and also take out. The food is consistent tasty and hot. The atmosphere is great the restaurant is clean. Well done keep up the hard work
Placed on order via uber, was charged and yet they refused to hand the food to the deliver driver. The poor man had to come all the way to my door step to help him cancel the order so he can carry on with his work. Absolutely ridiculous level of incompetence.
I ordered food meat was not cooked poor service I am not recommend at all
I ordered chefs special kabob and eggplant dish, everything was great and service was good too.
It was really good and delicious. We got many dishes. Food
Great food, generous portions and very friendly staff. The tea and dessert were the cherry on top.
I was completely disappointed with the quality. The taste of the koobideh was awful, and we all got sick. It was the worst koobideh Ive ever had, and I would never recommend it.
The kebabs and chicken breast were oddly soft and completely tasteless, to the point we joked we might have caught COVID since none of us could taste the food. The portion size was small for the price, especially compared to other Iranian restaurants in Toronto. We came here because of the high ratings, but the flavor left us really disappointed.
Food was delicious It was like a homemade food Thank you Taste of Persia
Best Persian food you will find! To the quality of food as well as the service & family environment it is 10/10 Must try Food
i was passing by Barrie, looked up restaurants, i found this place taste of persia, i have to say the food is great, great tasting, good size portions and excellent service witha friendly genuine smile, i could feel the warmth in the place, nice cozy corner, my 2 kids loved the food as well, the food was warm/hot, i tried some stew i cannot remember the name, but it was amazing,,, i cannot say enough good things about this place, that if i visit around barrie, i will definetely visit again and try something different, i usually take chances in trying something i never tried before, and i am glad i tried the stew.. sorry.. cannot remember the name but was amazing, made with almonds and pomegranate.. very pleasant service Vegetarian options: eat the vegetables,, Parking: lot of free parking Kid-friendliness: the owners i suppose were very friendly with my rowdy 6 and 4 year old kids
It was a marvellous set of dishes. The tea was one of the best, scrumptious and the presentation and the excellent service with the story behind it was something to remember.
Don t waste your money, I tried Koobide & barg, both were too bad. I couldn t eat even rice, it wasn t fresh!
We had our girls dinner Friday night here. Only patrons. Food was amazing staff super nice. Highly recommend.
Expensive and less quantity in comparison with other Persian Restaurants!
tasty chelokabab
Personable and delicious!
Just moved to Barrie area, and am so excited to have found a new recurring dinner place. The plates were a lovely presentation and the chicken and lamb was just mouth watering good. Super happy, and I doubt anyone could leave unhappy.
Food was good but the service needs improvement. The owner is friendly and attentive but the younger girl seems like she doesn t want to work there.
The restaurant is very good. The food is awesome. The lady/owner is very nice, the restaurant is very clean. I will definitely recommend to everyone who is looking for halal food
Every thing was great, you guys are awesome , don t listen to sikilmesh haters. Keep going
Love their food here! Haven t been to the location yet but I always order on Uber eats. I m so happy there is a Persian restaurant in Barrie!
Very friendly service
Our favorite restaurant and we always order food for our gatherings and parties
Went there to get take out ordered 2 Koobideh Kabob $14.99 each and 1 Vaziri Breast Kabob $20.99. Then I asked if she could switch the one kabob of ground beef to another chicken. Charged $13.99 for 1 chicken kabob. Then when I got home and opened it the one meal that was $20.99 that should have had 1 chicken and 1 ground beef only hade the 1 chicken kabob and no ground beef. So way over priced and I got ripped off a kabob wont go back.
As an Iranian, I can say the food here is delicious and it s the only authentic Persian food I ve had in Barrie. I ve tried pretty much everything on the menu and order here regularly. Definitely recommend trying out the food here, the staff are super nice too!
The food was so delicious and it was fresh . Love it would definitely eat here again . The customer service is amazing ! Super nice people would recommend people to eat here .5/5
What a gem we discovered the other day in Barrie, Ontario. Never thought there would be a Persian restaurant in Barrie. Stumbled upon it by accident as we were going to the Indian place and found that it is now a Persian Restaurant. Great food, amazing service and Massi (the owner) is very nice and friendly. Highly Recommended.
Food is awful. We ordered Chicken seek kabobs along with rice, but it doesnt have any flavor and feels very rubbery. And the food is very less quantity as compared to the price. Totally not worth the money. Spoiled our party night.
Nice foods and services
I was very excited to learn of Barrie now having a Persian restaurant. Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, and the service was quick and efficient. The food was delicious and portion size very generous. I ordered the koobideh kebob, and look forward to trying other options in the future. Of note, I have food allergies and the owner took time and care to ensure my safety and afford me peace of mind - I truly appreciate the level of consideration I was provided. I will happily be a repeat customer.
Amazing food, very delicious and excellent customer service!
Outstanding authentic persian food. Best in Barrie!
I cant wait to go again it was so yummy the chicken and rice so tasty.the most important thing was it was super clean restaurant. The staff was so welcoming. Everyone should try it once Im sure you will crave again in morning because it is so yummmmmmm...
The kebab is the best I ve ever had, It s worth driving all the way from Toronto to barrie just for this. Highly Recommended !!!!!
The most comforting and friendly staff! Explained all dishes throughly and kindly. Food is fresh and delicious! Definitely need to try when in Barrie.

Taste of Persia has very high end quality Persian food. I have been going there since they opened and they have yet to disappoint. Absolutely love the food and the service is outstanding. Owners are also always there greeting the customers. Highly recommend this Persian restaurant.
Very nice place
Clean place and lovely Iranian foods
Extraordinarily delicious and clean. Thank you very much for your great service and food. I would eat at this place every week if I was local there!
Got koobideh kebab with bread for take out. Tender and well cooked food.
Amazing, authentic Persian food bursting with flavor. I m glad Barrie is finally getting these authentic food places (please no more fusion cuisine lol).
Wonderful restaurant in barrie.I as Iranian and my friend as iraqi loved baghalipolo,baghali ghatogh,koobidehwith perfect side dishes.I recently discovered this restaurant in Barrie as i moved to barrie recently. I highly recommend this restaurant and will come again for sure.
I ate one of my most delicious Kebabs here with so warm and welcoming atmosphere . I really loved spending my money there
Ordered chicken breast kebob dinner Only thing was good was the rice meat alittle on the dry side and very very cheap on the purple pickled cabbage like they used tweezers to put in the container Food
Interior design and selection of Persian songs were awesome. Great taste of Kabab Koobideh. The rice and bread were both freshly cooked. Zeytoon Parvardeh could have a better quality.
Excellent experience with some very yummy flavours. Cozy and relaxed environment. Owner was so nice to visit each table.
Had a very large pick up order and the employees helped me carry everything to my car without me even having to ask. Wonderful service!
Very good
The most delicious Shawarma in the town! #HalalFood #PersianFood #DeliciousFood Food
After a few times that I either ordered for pick up or dined in ,I found their food quality and taste very good and consistent . The owner always comes to your table to ask if you liked the food and ask you if there is something that you recommend to improve their quality but their kabob especially koobideh and Torsh are the best kebab that I ve ever had in Ontario and can t ask for better. I only wish the sitting area was bigger.
My mother and Is go to restaurant! Great prices, lovely staff. A must for Persian food lovers!
I order take out, I have the koobideh and Gotmasabzi both delicious, fresh and hot. Great portions, great food! Thank you taste of Persia! Your my go to wholesome meal for a long day at work.
First time having Persian food and it was great!
Quite place woth professional staff Also with delicious and fresh food Food
I am so disappointed. The rice was so plain. No flavour and mixed with stale rice. Im not from barrie. There are so many better Persian restaurants south of barrie. The Nan was also not warm. I regret coming here.
Very homely vibe and food. Very polite staff.
Our first time in this restaurant was very pleasant, the owner was so friendly and welcoming. The food was tasty and a great healthy option. The baklava was the cherry ontop! So delicious!!! We will definitely be back. I recommend the chicken & beef very good.
I used Taste of Persia to cater my husbands birthday and they went above and beyond my expectations. The presentation and taste was amazing Everyone at my party couldnt stop talking about how delicious the food was. Delivery was right on time and the food arrived hot and neatly organized for me so all I had to do was serve it. I would definitely recommend them
Quality of food was really bad! Chicken kebob was very dry and portion/cuts was very small! Koobide was the worst I ever had in Canada!
Food here was excellent. I am not Persian, but I adore their cuisine. I did take out. Staff was not overly friendly, but the food was good and it was takeout so not a big deal for me.
The food is amazing providing really good food. The staffs are so humble and quick Highly recommended if you are looking for the persian food Food
Absolutely delicious food, welcoming staff and wholesome atmosphere. Will come again and again.
One of the awesome place to taste delicious and authentic food. Had a great time last week . Food

Really delicious food, what a taste , (recommended by Maddy)
We were looking for ethnic food joint in the Barrie corner after a day of counseling at PEO AGM. We were lucky to have found an authentic place with Persian dishes that touched our tastebuds; the appetizers were so healthy and the main dish meat quality was very much flavourful. To be repeated and recommend that you come in and end it with some tea! @guyboone Dietary restrictions: Non-spicy jalapeños!!!
Got the vaziri. Such a good choice. Both the chicken and beef were juicy and flavourful with a nice char on it. So happy to have a Persian restaurant in Barrie. We ll be back!
Great food and really nice people. The kabob is delicious, Id recommend getting the vaziri with extra tomatoes
Best middle eastern food in barrie Service and atmosphere

Great food . Had it for the first time. So glad we have a genuine kebob place in barrie .
Such amazing food and really nice people. The olives are the best thing ever and the chicken kabab is delicious.
Amazing place everything is just perfect.
The best kabob Ive tried. I really enjoyed trying Ghormeh Sabzi for the first time too. Will get it again Food
Very tasty! We will definitely order again.
Today we went to taste of persia restaurant for lunch and we had a wonderful experience . The barg kebob was so tender and delicious and the mirzaghasemi was so tasty. We would definetly go back and highly recommend this restaurant .
Amazing food!
Sofisticated and elegant ambience. Very tastefully executed. A good place for soft conversations, with soft music in the background. Excellent food, the Gormeh Subzi was really tasty, so was the Sultani kabobs. Would love to visit this place again when Im Barrie next.
Finally ! As a Persian that moved from Richmond Hill to Barrie two years ago its been very difficult not having anything around ... found this place by accident on google last night and I can verify its amazing food, must visit for anyone. Looking forward to them expanding to a bigger place once they receive the much needed support !
Wonderfully delicious food and lovely owners.
Very bad quality and too expensive
Some of the best Koubideh and Viziri kebab I ve had! We ll be back for more.
Ordered online, the food was delicious and the packaging was great! Tried halim bademjoon and different kababs. I recommend all especially barg kabab
Love the food and the service.
Simply, not worth it.
Had dinner here and it was a very nice family place with amazing food.
Freshly made food with great price. Good place for family dinner
Delicious food and lovely people!
Delicious food very good and clean atmosphere and most important very good hospitality by staff, in total a nice place to eat with reasonable price.

Great atmosphere! Service is top-notch, and the food is a 10/10 every time i go!
Amazing food and friendly staff. So happy a good Persian restaurant has finally come to Barrie!!
Amazing job, amazing food and incredibly clean environment. Barrie has been lacking real traditional food and culture for years but after visiting this new location today after some word of mouth I am speechless! I take my hat off to you guys and wish the best to this families business.
Service and food was outstanding! Barrie has been missing quality Persian food and this spot checks all the boxes! My go to lunch spot from now on.
Atmosphere is wonderful, place is very nice and clean, and on top of it all the food is AMAZING! Highly recommend to anyone wanting some Authentic Persian Food in Barrie! First of its Kind; best of luck to the family! Vegetarian options: Very wonderful vegetarian options, stews, soups, salads, etc! Dietary restrictions: They have Halal options!

Also ordered one plate and it was enough for 2 kids to share! Wheelchair accessibility: Great open entrance and open concept restaurant!
Best food in the city
First time in since they opened and we had great food and service. Ordered the chef special kebabs and mirza ghassemi. Big portions and everything so tasty! We did takeout but it looks like a nice place to sit down and eat. Will be back :)
Food and staff both excellent . Thank you taste of persia Parking: 10 Food : 5/5 |
The Perfect Food!
Very tasty and halal food with nice environment.
Food quality, price, packaging are all excellent, respectful and friendly staff ,I strongly recommend it
Very tasty food,friendly staff and reasonable Prices,we especially loved the chicken kabobs and beef kabobs with saffron rice and butter on the side Food
Glad that a very good option of halal food is available in Barrie now. My husband and I moved from Richmond Hill and we used to have Persian food every other day. We happened to dine in here and the food is ahmaaazing! The place is clean. Food quantity is good. There is a bit of language barrier, I couldnt convey my appreciation for the food to the server girl as she couldnt understand. I just wish this place grows manifold inshaAllah and hope they never compromise on thier quality and quantity of food serving with the passage of time which usually everybody does. I would suggest you to add your menu in ubereats and also add in the halal food Google search as well.
My friend and I went dine in to Taste of Persia restaurant. The food is delicious, meat is tender and juicy, well seasoned, and it is good portion, it is worth trying the Persia cuisine, service was great, atmosphere is good and the owner is very friendly. We will come back again for sure. Food
Great taste
Delicious food and friendly staff. Nice and clean place. We tried the beef kabob which was great. Highly recommend.
It is important for me to introduce a good restaurant.
Here is one of top restaurants I have experienced in entire Ontario! High quality and welcoming atmosphere, make it nice place to make a good memory in Barrie, Ontario.
Perfect
The food was wonderful! I am thrilled we have healthy, delicious Persian food in Barrie! Parking: Location is a bit tucked away. But worth checking out
Very good Persian food!
If you are looking for great middle-eastern food in Barrie, this is the place to go. The food was fresh and flavourful and the staff were very welcoming. We happened onto this restaurant while driving to the waterfront and decided to give it a try. Everyone in our party of 10 left full and were all commenting on how good the food was. We found our new go-to spot!!!
The food was amazing! Im so glad that finally a good persian restaurant opened in Barrie
The food is delicious and the staff is so kind! We will definitely be coming back!
The quality of kebab is so good. We enjoyed the taste of kebab
Koobideh (Kebab) was great. Likely best iv had
Perfection!
This is a must try. Absolutely delicious and balanced flavours with one extra ingredient that puts this place over the top: love. Not to mention a wonderful staff that offered a generous dine in sample to help make sure we got exactly what we wanted. If youre looking to try something new or you already love Persian food this is the place to go! Yum!!
Absolutely delicious and I can t wait to try another dish next time!
Eat there 2 days back to back bc of how good the food was. We ordered the chef special a stew with an app and it was alll so delicious. Their tea was the cherry on top!! Soo happpy I found this place in Barrie
We had a great experience, we ordered baghali polo mahiche and koobideh and the taste was great! We will be back for sure.
Take out order for 10+ people - gobbled up the food before photos could be taken. We have had Persian food before but nothing like this experience. Portions were above generous and you can simply tell when eating a meal, that it has been prepared with love and care - so much so that the experience becomes spiritual. Our bodies and spirit were fueled by a Taste of Persia - their food is a gift - a tangible expression of a Higher love for us. Koobideh, Gheymeh, Fesenjoon, Ghormeh Sabzi, Shirazi Salad, Rice all exceptional. We returned the next day for a quick take-out Shirazi salad (my new daily salad of choice). I tried mixing in their rice with it - spectacular. Staff/Owners were gracious as you would expect. Just a phenomenally pleasing experience; left us looking like superstars to our guests - but all the glory goes to Taste of Persia!
The moment you open the door, you felt the warmth of family and the smell of fantastic food. I strongly recommend the taste of Persian Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of room at the tables. The bathroom door is wide enough for a wheelchair to go through and lots of room.
The koobidah and rice is absolutely delicious.
Some issues with our order (missing salad) but the food was genuinely excellent. Well definitely be back, but will pay more attention before we leave with our take out.
Great food and atmosphere! We came for a family dinner, the food was delicious, large portions also great prices! We had veal, beef and chicken kebab the meat was cooked to perfection for dessert, try the red velvet cake and the special Persian tea
Highly recommend.. The takeout was truly absolutely amazing ..
We ordered a pick up order last night. We ordered kebab soltani and gheimeh. The kebab was soft and mouthwatering . Gheimeh was really tasty. Owner is really friendly and attentive.Staff too. We strongly recommend this place to everybody.
Barrie s first Persian restaurant is FINALLY here! Long overdue I must say. This is a great restaurant. I really enjoyed the food here and their exceptional service. I highly recommend this place!
Halal food. Zereshk Polo was very nice. Great price for the portion size! I had been waiting for this resturant to open and Im so glad they finally have! I cant wait to try again Edit: I just ordered the fesenjoon here and no exageration, it was the most pleasant tasting chicken I have ever tasted. The taste is so fragrant and comforting, Im guessing the ingredients and spices used are very very fresh. Absolutely beautiful dish Dietary restrictions: Halal food
