I don't get some of these bad reviews. Service was amazing with a smile, the food was ridiculously mouth wateringly good. Chicken melts in your mouth. Portions are huuuuuge. The interior looks really cool, you feel like you stepped into a different country. Great restaurant, will definitely be back
I liked their joojeh and found it super juicy and delicious. Service is okay. They overcharged me on my dish the first time so check your receipt before paying.
I had a great experience at Taftan Restaurant. The food was delicious, with generous portions that leave you satisfied. The service was excellent, and the staff was attentive. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. The atmosphere was pleasant, making it a great spot for a nice meal.
As a food writer and kebab enthusiast, I found the lunch experience at this restaurant to be noteworthy in several aspects. The ambiance was calm, free from the distraction of live music, allowing us to fully focus on the flavors and quality of the food. The kebabs were well-prepared; the meat was tender and juicy, indicating the proper use of cooking techniques. The seasoning was balanced, though there was room for deeper, more complex flavors, especially for those who appreciate a more intricate taste profile. Service was professional and timely, with attention to detail evident throughout the dining experience. The cleanliness and orderliness of the restaurant added positively to the overall impression. Overall, while there’s some potential for improvement in the depth of flavor, this restaurant offers a satisfying experience and seems like a solid choice for kebab enthusiasts.
The food was a complete disaster and left me utterly disappointed. 🤮 They still charged for the disgusting food. The meat was so old and smelly!! If there was a negative star I would give 😣 So I called them today (August 30th, 2024). They started off sweet talking at first and at the end they just started talking over me and cutting me off and just hang up at the end, just so rude. Don’t even come here, it is not worth your money. (Go at your own risk lol) oh yeh I didn’t even get my refund back.
I was looking for an Asian restaurant in that area and entered Taftan Kebob to explore. The food is simply awesome, I had chicken leg, it was fantastic. Presentation was authentic and tasteful. I would recommend a visit for anyone fond of middle eastern food. I need to visit few more times to write comments on specific items. Got to see the Saturday night live music. Thank you.
Things I liked, things I didn't like: ✅ - The staff created a wonderful ambiance for our group, which truly enhanced our experience. Thank you, Parsa! - The live santoor music added a perfect touch, complementing the Persian-inspired interior design. - The Doogh was absolutely delightful! - We opted for the vaziri main dish, and the koobideh kebob was pleasantly lean with a balanced onion flavor that suited my taste. - The gesture of providing us with a tahdig and ghorme sabzi sample was incredibly thoughtful and greatly appreciated. ❌ - Despite ordering the sharable platter for $27, both the menu description and the picture were misleading, and the portion size did not justify the price. - While the chicken kebob was generously seasoned with saffron, it was unfortunately a bit dry. - overall, the portions were less than expected!
Based on my recent visit, I'd rate Taftan Kebob with 3 stars. While the food wasn't bad, there's room for improvement in both portion size and quality. I found myself wanting more in terms of both taste and quantity. Additionally, the staff's welcoming attitude left something to be desired. Overall, Taftan Kebob has potential, but there are areas where they could step up their game to provide a more satisfying dining experience.
Great food, service and atmosphere. I definitely recommend to my friends.
I love the decoration and customer service . Special thanks to Shiva
very delicious and tasty food with traditional decoration
very good staff, good beware with customers and deliver drivers. also good food
Amazing food and amazing atmosphere!
I was really disappointed when I ordered my food through Uber Eats from Taftan Kebob. When my order arrived, I was upset to find that it wasn t what I had requested. The meal was supposed to come with rice, but there was none. I even left a note and checked the option to include it when I placed the order. To make things worse, two parts of the meal were liquid, and I had no idea how I was supposed to eat it, as they were packed in round plastic containers with no utensils. It was a terrible experience. On top of that, I had left a note asking the driver for a receipt for reimbursement, but I was told they don t print receipts with Uber Eats orders. Instead, I would have to access it through the app. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT
The customer service is very poor they behave rude and disrespectful they don t even place your food on the table they just leave it in the corner of table. To be honest McDonald s service is really better. Also they even forget to garnish of my order, the food quality was low.
Amazing food and wonderful atmosphere, costumer service was amazing specially Shiva served us perfectly. , she was smart and friendly, the music was great and we had extraordinary moments there. Highly recommended to everyone. Thank you again Shiva
Ive been there with my friends for the third time. The pure taste of Persian foods. Well designed and cleaned restaurant with sweet staff. Thank the chef and well behaved servers.
Had dinner here.Fresh food, large portion size, fast and friendly service. Highly recommend
Very delicious food in an authentic happy Iranian restaurant. Pleasant experience!
A few nights ago, we went to Taftan Restaurant for dinner. The food was excellent, and the staff were friendly. We ordered Kabab Torsh and Vaziri; both were well-marinated and perfectly cooked. We spoke with the chef, whose name was Shapour. He was very friendly and respectful. We had a great night at Taftan and highly recommend it
I ordered 2 kebab plates and 1 ghaimeh from Uber but after few minutes I get notification that ghaimeh is canceled because they do not have it so I canceled my order and got charged $40 but didn t get any food. You shouldn t be out of anything at 4pm and you should be on top of Uber so people don t get screwed like this. I got charged $40 because it says you started cooking the other stuff but it was only 2 minutes.
First time visiting tonight, and definitely wont be the last! The food was amazing, atmosphere was cozy, and Shivas service was very personal and friendly. Ill recommend Taftan Kebob to my friends and family.
Tartan is nearby to my office . This is my best choice for lunch. The food is top quality and delicious , Hedi who works there is very friendly and service oriented . Pls keep your service at the same level.
It was the second time that we came here, and I had a koobide kebab and I enjoyed eating it a lot, the food was of very high quality, the atmosphere and service were also great 5/5
Last week, we celebrated my fathers birthday at Taftan. The food and service were excellent. The restaurants atmosphere was very beautiful, and we felt like we were in Iran. Thank you to Taftan for creating such a memorable evening for us.
Food and costumer service were amazing specially Ms Hedi who serve us perfectly. Highly recommended to everyone in toronto
Such a nice place and how delicious food I have to come back again
Last week we went to Taftan Restaurant for my friends birthday. The food and the restaurants decor were excellent. The staff were very helpful and kind; they took lots of photos of us and played a birthday song without us even asking. They didnt charge us anything for bringing the cake.
Well designed and clean restaurant with sweet staff. We loved the food. Koobideh could have been cooked a bit more. Overall its a highly recommended place if you love Persian cuisine
Our family hosted an event at Taftan Traditional Restaurant over the weekend and we had the most amazing experience! Fantastic fresh food, beautifully designed restaurant that brings you back to the middle east , quality and friendly service! I highly recommend booking your events here! All of our guests raved about the food and how great the night was. Thank you so much to Mr. Danish and staff for hosting an amazing night for us! :)
We were invited to Taftan Kebob for an engagement party. The buffet style selection of food was amazing, the service was great and its definitely a great place for a small private event. Highly recommend.
Beautifully designed persian resturant with about 50 seats, small dance floor and live DJ Suitable for small party and celebrations Food
Delicious food.
Delicious Persian food and beautiful interior design of ancient Persia
Very cozy and nice place to have persian food. Food was prepared fast and the portions were good. Also good for large gatherings. It was a nice experience.
Hell I ll even drop another star to make it six. I recently had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional Persian restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience! The highlight of my visit was the Kalepache, which was prepared to perfection. The rich flavors and tender texture of the dish were simply outstanding. The ambiance of the restaurant is truly something special. The decor is steeped in history, adorned with old and traditional decorations and paintings that transport you to another time and place. It feels like dining in a museum of Persian culture, which adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was top-notch. From the warm welcome to the knowledgeable recommendations, they made us feel like honored guests. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to enjoy authentic Persian cuisine in a setting that is incredibly charming. A definite must-visit!
The food here is great, the service is excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful and are extremely helpful to new guests. I had Shiva as my server today and she took the time to go through the menu with me and choose my meal. I will not hesitate to return again to this restaurant. Great Food, Great Staff, and Great Service.
Second time here and the service and food were great both times!
The service was very good. The good excellent, the ambiance amazing. Recommend it strongly.
Food was delicious, service quick and warm, and the surroundings lovely. Dinner was so good the first night, we came back the next. The owner was there, and we had a nice conversation. Try it - you ll enjoy this restaurant.
Google says it closes at 11pm and we called to confirm they say it ok and to come when we got there it was closed at 10pm and when we called she say the there close at 10pm and she lied to us
I only gave four stars because the owner takes the tips. Disgusting . The waitress was very nice and helpful, she really deserved the tips. I hope the owner will do something about this after reading this review.
Honest and unbiased opinion: Koobideh kebab were too dry that I had to drink water after each couple of spoons of food to help washing it down. I dont think the dryness of them had to do with being over cooked it seems the meat is mixed with bread crumbs or something similar that contributes to its stiffness and dryness. The other dish, ghormeh sabzi, had only 2 exteremly small pieces of meat (honestly so small that I dont think 2 pieces were hardly about10 grams in totall all together.. atmosphere and decorations were nice, however metal plates and jugs had strong metallic odor that makes you lose appetite. Not worth the money
Had dinner here. The dinner portion size was great. Quite tasty and well presented. Staff was friendly and the ambience of the restaurant was very unique. Can t comment on lunch portions but the dinner portion was more than appropriate for the price and service was courteous and prompt.
Really delicious food ! I keep coming back been here twice with my family, everyone was pleased with the food, quality and taste nice Zafron ice cream! Parking: Plaza, lots of free parking
I have to amend my review. I m sad as this was our go to place but after 2 awful meals there we won t be going back. There has definitely been a change in food quality. The rice is no longer basmati but mealy long grain instead. The koobideh kebab was so bland. The ghormeh sabzi was tasteless. The kashk was missing from the kashke bademjoon. The bread was doughy and cold. 5 pieces for 6 people. We asked a few times if the management has changed but we re told no, that doesn t seem to be true as neither the server or cook were familiar from our many many previous visits. This place was so good! The food was great, our server was personable, funny and efficient. It is tastefully decorated and clean. My only friendly suggestions would be to dim the lights a bit, add a candle or two to the tables and play some lovely Persian music.
Persian Food at its best.
Everything is just Excellent
An Amazing Persian food , great atmosphere friendly servers, fresh food , fast , a decent portion size , we ordered Barg Kebab plate Gormeh a real fillet mignon you will only taste it in high end restaurants in Paris . Frankly I didn t experience or felt any of the below 3 stars comments , they deserve an easy 5 stars . Shadi helped us in our choices , super nice well done
Very nice restaurant, staff are so friendly, Highly recommend Food
Ive ordered here a few times and always forget to write them a review. The food is always fresh, warm and delicious. Staff are always extra friendly and nice and the restaurant it sepf always seems clean and quiet. Ive ordered from the other persian restaurants that are very close to here and they never satisfy me. One was extremely rude, the other was always in a rush while ordering on the phone, and when i get there to pick up even with 5people working in the restaurant i had to wait 10min for someone to notice me:)))) plus the food was Horrible.. if youre looking for good service and good persian food in the area, this is your sign to go to Taftan. I have uploaded their take out menu as well.
Excellent food, amazing taste and atmoshpere, amazing decor, it was a pleasure meeting the owner and her daughter, highly recomended.
Amazing food with good guantity and quality. Great service. . Friendly staff Recommend to every one. Food
Food is average at best, service is very questionable.
There was a server whose name I asked, Seba Jan Boden Being very friendly It is completely recommended
Excellent restaurant with great food. Healthy cooking and materials such as Iranian rice. Expert chef It was the really delicious Iranian dishes. I enjoyed most and would like to go when I wish an Iranian food again and again. I must say that the traditional designs and frame on the wall are really nice. Feel good in the great atmosphere.
A bit expensive but food taste pretty good
We celebrated our dad s 80th birthday. It was such an amazing atmosphere, from our hostess and the service, to the delicious food and live music and great company. It was a memorable night. We certainly recommend this place and will come again! Thank you. Katrin
Before it was good my mean is 6 months ago but recently they changed menu and removed some good and economic platters and increased prices and reduced the amount of portions, tonight we went there and ordered a platter , waitress wasn t professional and she was alone in the salon and the salon was full of customers, our order took time coming 30 minutes , before ordering after ordering and after bringing food i told her bring please tahdig and Gheymeh , she told okay I will bring it but didn t bring it anymore and when I wanted make a payment she didn t mention anything or She did not apologize and after serving food she didn t come to asking we need something or no and for paying instead of she coming, i went to the counter, she didn t look to our table after few minutes of our waiting ,don t waste your money there you can go in better restaurant with better prices and customer service and quality .
I ve ordered from this restaurant four times three takeouts and one dine-in. Each experience has sadly seen a decrease in food quality. Although the presentation is consistently impressive, the taste is far below average, especially when compared to the original Taftan at Young and Finch. That location was small, but the food was outstanding. It seems there s a crucial need for this restaurant to refocus on taste and quality, especially if they intend to maintain their current pricing. I don t mind paying for premium food, but I expect the quality to match the price. Hoping for improvements!
If I could rate it negative million I absolutely would, I m surprised we didn t get food poising from the absolute trash of a food they called kebab. Every single food from appetizer to mains was absolutely awful; not only the spice and taste of the food was disgusting but also the rice was awful and the meat quality was questionable. They somehow managed to make chicken leg sooo dry. They also said we should totally get the super Taftan which by far was the worst food. We got Kashk e Bademjun for appetizer and I have no idea what they served us; it absolutely looked and tasted like they just dumped a can of egg plant and called it a day. Every single one of us who tried it couldn t even swallow it!!! The service was absolutely horrible as well. A guy and one young woman served us by serving I mean they quite literally just put the food in the MIDDLE of the table and left. No explanation or this is for you just left and RAN. They literally even did not serve us any water until we asked. They didn t serve us an appointed we ordered either. We had non Persian guests and we were so embarrassed. Fortunately our guest had previously tried out many Persian dishes and even he could tell that this restaurant was not it. A couple next to us were complaining about the food to them as well, we didn t bother because we just wanted to get out. AVOID AT ALL COST!!!
Food quality has gone down and prices has gone up by almost 30%, used to be a good place to eat, not anymore...
Quality of food was very bad The meat was not fresh at all Terrible and there is a bad smelling in the restaurant. Did washroom was very very dirty.
First time visiting here and we enjoyed the food. Service and presentation were good as well. My only recommendation yo the staff is to lower the music since it was too loud and we could not have a normal conversation since the music was too loud.
It was the worst experience of my life. My lamb chops were a cheap imitation and not worth the price at all. Do yourself a favour and just go to jimmy the greek if you want lamb chops since it s cheaper and has better quality.
Beautiful traditional Persian cuisine the setting is very unique and historic, tasty food,and excellent service by the servers overall 10/10 experience.
Super amazing Persian food. Large selection of traditional dishes, lots of parking and seating. Good location off the DVP. Fresh food, large portion size, fast and friendly service. Highly recommend
Visited this restaurant and had a wonderful time! The food was delicious, and the staff created a warm and friendly atmosphere. We even enjoyed some dancing along with our meal. Highly recommended for delicious food and a fun dining experience!
We had a great time with exceptional food, friendly service, amazing live music. We have been to Taftan several times now and each time we are wowed by the ambiance and hospitality. The staff are happy to make suggestions and every dish was delicious. We will definitely be back!
I liked their fesenjan taste amazing and the decor is beautiful
This place was such a big disappointment. We always go to darband or gilaneh next to this place, and I have previously been to their yonge location just to pick up food a couple of years ago, which was good so we thought we would try this place out. Firstly, they see us at a booth, next-door window, and when we told them that it s cold, the server mentioned that they are fully booked. Only three other families were at the restaurant and many tables were empty. We also could not get the servers attention because of how secluded we were, so we kept having to stand up and walk to them to ask for stuff. The food was beyond awful. we shared the parvarde (bad), mirza ghasemi (ok), mast moosir (from the packaged mast moosir at the stores), and salad shirazi. This is the most simplest salad in the Persian cuisine, but they somehow managed to put the worst spices so much so that it was sour and inedible and we did not touch it. I asked the server and they mentioned that they re using mint and dill, but it was fenugreek and it reeked of ghorme sabzi. We told the server to smell it and he also agreed. We shared the koobideh (meat smelled awful), jooje (only edible thing), baghali polo mahiche (ok), tahdig with gheyme (so hard to chew), torsh (worst thing I ve eaten. It was chewy and they obviously tried to hide the smell of the meat with pomegranate, molasses and walnuts, but they failed.) At the end, we only wanted to give feedback to the manager, not because we wanted a refund or anything, so therefore, we made sure to only discuss this with them after we have fully paid. When we mentioned everything, she said, in a very condescending manner that it looks like, we actually didn t mind the food given that we had already tried everything, and we should ve told them sooner. I informed them that we did tell them sooner, but no one did anything for us, and we gave them the benefit of the doubt. She said , it is preferential and maybe your preferences are different. Her condescending manner, lack of reception towards feedback, and awful food we had at this place is the reason we will never go back, and why I am reviewing this place so negatively. As we re leaving a family was walking in, and they asked us what we thought and we gave them our honest opinion, and they also left. It s really disheartening to discourage customers from Persian restaurants, but ones as bad as this need to change, that can only be brought on by honest reviews like this.
Wry cozy and warm place, staff are welcoming and friendly. Food is phenomenal!!! The best Persian food I ve ever had in Toronto!!
Very nice place. Food is great and so tasty. Service was excellent. Thank you Food : 5/5 |
100% recommend! Amazing food and service. We were seated in our own private room which was really nice. Beautiful place. Love the atmosphere. Will definitely go back and recommend to our family/friends.
Great food
One of the best restaurants that I ever went to, I never seen any restaurants with this great service. Parsa is a boy who is helping everyone with his beautiful friendly smile, fast , gentle and great personality. I went with a friend tonight and I m super happy with my choice.. what else I can say, music was amazing, Yari and Galawizh made it like heaven. In general that is one of the best place to go and enjoy a very nice meal with your family. I highly recommend everyone to try Taftan Kebab.
Taftsn kebab was the greatest restaurant i went to for few highlights reasons. Grest service. With amazing, friendly Parsa and Shadi, that make you feel like home, warm and nice personality. Music is amazing. To me going to that restaurant was like dream comes true.
Great Persian food and very friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommend.
Amazing, authentic Persian food and wonderful service! Will definitely be coming back and be bringing more of my friends!
amazing service, such a cute place i love it
Waste time and money
As a Persian with a deep appreciation for authentic cuisine, my recent experience at Taftan was thoroughly disappointing. The rice served was cold, resembling leftovers rather than freshly prepared. The lamb, which should have been succulent and flavorful, was burnt to a charcoal-like consistency, rendering it inedible. Despite bringing these issues to the attention of the staff, there was no apology or attempt to rectify the situation. Additionally, the eggplant stew lacked any discernible flavor, further adding to the disappointment. To top it off, all the rice dishes were served cold, completely undermining the essence of Persian cuisine. As someone who values the richness and authenticity of Persian food, I cannot recommend Taftan based on this disappointing experience.
The food was very low quality and not fresh and the service was awful!!!!
We enjoyed the food but the customer service was bad. We had to wait a long time to be seated considering there were only 4 customers inside. I had to literally go and tell the kitchen staff that we were waiting to be seated. When we ordered our food, we also ordered our drinks but had to follow up 3 times. The server did not even serve us with water. We can see from our seats that the server was always on his phone.
rude server. did not bring us everything we ordered and since my friend and i got to talking, we didnt notice. but we were still charged. they were pushy and kept making us feel like we need to leave. we spent about 1 hour there eating and drinking and talking and it was as if we had spent 4 hours there. the place was not busy at all either. 2 stars cause of decor and the salad was quite fresh. everything else was pretty basic. can get better elsewhere. i cant stress enough how important it is to have welcoming staff. your staff was so rude and acted as if we were beneath them. but who was serving who? be nicer to your patrons. we will not be back.
Thank you Parsa for your hospitality We took the lamb shank, fasingan, fillet (can t remember the name) and 2 kinds of Kabab The service, quality of food and value for money were all amazing Once again great service, thank you Nazanin for making our dinner memorable The Best Persian restaurant
They literally had the worst food ever. Got food poisoning at this place. Went there with 5 people and everyone got a very bad stomachache and diarrhea after. Never had this experience anywhere else before with only having koobideh and chicken breast. Do not go to this place for the sake of your stomach!
You can find one of the best Persian food in the whole GTA. Their Chef Shapour knows how to make the food more delicious and his designs of food is stunning. Their servers were friendly and welcoming. Also I realized their chef is the manager and I wanted to thanks him for his professional work. I definitely recommend this place to everyone. Vegetarian options: Mirza ghasemi, kashk bademjoon Kid-friendliness: Yes
Very good
Worse experience ever. The whole staff including owner should learn how to run this business. One of the staff, while taking the order of another table, was answering his personal phone and put the whole order on pause. everyone was making fun of him. The other staff were preparing a table for 16 people who had a reservation and as part of preparation, they showed no respect towards other customers. they were making a lot of noises and taking to each other with a loud voices and from a long distance. and it took them half an hour, they didn´t even know how to arrange it. very unprofessional staff and service. I ordered ghormeh sabzi but the dish had zeroo meat, just beans and sabzi. there was no meat in the stew, just a few traces of meat. They cleaned the table just half an hour of seating and while I was working on my dish. Don´t recommand this place to anyone.
Great good, awesome staff ..Absolutely loved it. They do have live music on saturdays and it is really good Food
Both rice and kebab portions shrank for the price. Not competitive anymore. Lamb shank was cooked in oil, the gravy was 100% oil! Food
Amazing food definitely visiting again. Really good spot to come with family.
A hidden gem. We were looking for a place to eat in the plaza and wanted something filling and light, saw this place and sat down. I can t believe people gave 3.9 star review. It should be 5 star. This place will definitely be on repeat.
I discovered this hidden gem through a friend and chose it for my mothers birthday celebration. Despite my usual hesitance with trying new Iranian restaurants in Toronto, this place surpassed my expectations as the quality of the meat was EXCELLENT. The assorted dips, especially the kashke bademjan and maast-o-moosir, were delightful. Our group enjoyed the kabob platter as well, and even the torsh kabob that we ordered separately was a hit. Tasty meal, good service, and a friendly waiter made it an overall pleasant experience. Ill be recommending this place to all my friends. Looking forward to my next visit!
Amazing atmosphere for families! Authentic food and Surreal environment! Great service as well. Highly recommended!
The food was great but the best part was the service. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
You are amazing , quality, taste and service all was perfect
The one star is for the good server and ambiance. Food was horrible. The bread with the start was frozen and warmed in microwave. The kabob tasted bad like old meat smell. The tomatoes with the kabob were frozen, when we told them they took it back and microwaved it. I would not recommend anyone to go here and spend $150 for two people dinner, without any alcoholic drinks, and be disappointed.
A real disaster! Poor customer service, rude waiters, and garbage food! The worst Koobide I ve ever had. Don t waste your money PLEASE!
Very baaaaaaaaaaaaaad....
The quality was very low and the food was cold and tasteless and the price was high compared to the quality and overall it was not satisfactory at all and I do not recommend it at all.
Place was empty. I should ve took that as a sign. Was give mast o khiar without bread. I asked for bread and was given two little small pieces. The waitress even charged me for it lol. This place is a circus and needs to get their act together.
Good persian kebab
Omg after long day I went to this restaurant ,,,they made my day The food The environment The server (Parsa I can say the best ever) Highly recommended
Food was ok but they changed us 8% service and tip 15% without our permission. I told them that was against toronto bylaws. They told us that our policy.
The place had a very energetic staff especially Parsa. Even though we asked for so many things, he patiently served us and had a smile all the time, which made our experience amazing. They also gave our 2 children flowers and the food was great.
The 5 stars are for the very hard working and accommodating servers. Thank you. I was under the impression that 15% service charge covers the tip, perhaps it was my mistake. The food was just ok because my plate was not hot perhaps because we were a large group and it was missing grilled tomato and the portion was abit small but they made an effort and brought us tahdig covered in khoresht which was really nice. There was no bread or greens or cheese served prior to food. Overall, it was good atmosphere, low volume music, very nice decorations, small cozy space, fast service so just needs better communication about the charges and hotter food will make it taste better. Thank you and hope next time will be a great and hot experience.
Please check your bills before you pay. They charge you extra. They made me to pay $28 for Brag skewer( $17 on picture). I asked them if I can talk to the manager but no manager was there. The server told me she is the owner s daughter. I asked her to correct my bill based on the menu but she said she can not do it since the prices have been increased but they have not updated all the menus yet. Very rude. I felt disappointed. I paid for our order since I was there with my kids and didn t want to make a bad night for my kids. When I was outside the restaurant the server jumped out and started arguing with me. She told me do not come back and go back to your country which I did not understand lol since she is Persian too. I felt harassed and started video recording her. Check the video My recommendation to the owner: I am very happy that you opened a new location but please start training your staff. We are your customers in other location but will definitely not going to go back to any of the locations anymore.
Nice restaurant and very good food. It has beautifully painted walls and a relaxed environment. It was somehow hard to find parking.
The quality at this place amazing sooo delicious and yummy
Amazing food and super amazing service by Parsa I highly recommend this restaurant and ask for Parsa as he will definitely make your experience even better with his super service!
Been going to Taftan since it first opened in Richmond Hill. Solid fast food. Heres their take on a more expensive fine dining experience. Beautiful spot.... But.... Clearly out of their league and mismanaged. Came here with family. Ordered 3 dishes. Pricey. My pomegranate veal dish was tough, supposed to be tender. The lamb shank came back literally frozen near the bone. One of the staff pretended that it could not be as if it was made fresh. Sorry not my first rodeo. They offered a replacement, second one was cold on the bone. Fiance didnt end up eating it. They offered our child cake. Tiny piece of basic looking store bought chocolate cake with sprinkles, 8 dollars. The waiter is incredibly sweet but the management and kitchen seems like they have issues with taking feedback. Last time coming to this location. Inconsistent. Expensive. Food is not fresh. Its warmed up, poorly likely from a microwave causing it to be heated inconsistently.
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE We had discovered this restaurant and wanted to all go together with some friends my friend had arrived before us and was seated with her mother and two kids, we had traveled all the way from Kitchener. My friend was told me leave before order because her kids were too loud and had left crying because of such a horrible experience. The girl was extremely rude and ignorant.
If you want to experience the worst experience of your life come here. The people are very rude. They kicked my sister out because of her kids I have never heard of such a thing. This place is definitely not family friendly and would not recommend it to anyone ever.
Its a persian cuisine place, decorated well. Very nice ambience. We ordered two platters one is Dizzy and 2nd one Salary kabab platter-both tastes really good. Meat was soft. We went there for 2nd time and this time ordered lamb shank-i changed the rice type, Dizzy and 1 glass of doogh. The lamb shank was really soft and good quantity. I really liked it.
My family and I visited Taftan York Mills yesterday, and we were blown away by the quality of the food and the beauty of the restaurant. The Persian food was perfect and delicious - we particularly loved the food. The restaurant area was also very nice, and the staffs were friendly and welcoming. The prices were very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food and service. I highly recommend Taftan York Mills to anyone looking for delicious Persian food in a beautiful setting. Dont miss out on their amazing Tahdig with Khoresht dressing! Thank you Taftan York Mills for the wonderful dining experience!
Great food and great service. Was given excellent recommendations. Also get 20% off meals on Mon/Tue/Wed well be back.
The staff are very professional and kind! Food is good place is beautiful!
Thanks for best food the kabob was sooo good and juicy
Im vegetarian that includes no egg, this beautiful restaurant is more than somewhere to eat and enjoy friends , it is an experience that you should treat yourself and your love ones.. many thanks to the young lady who welcomed us ,a party of eleven who walked in ..Will be back
Beautiful place, great service and food!
Taftan Kebob is a restaurant that truly stands out with its beautifully designed location, featuring captivating Iranian historical patterns.

The welcoming and responsive waitress goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience, making up for any minor shortcomings in the taste of the food. With their warm service and attention to detail, Taftan Kebob is a highly recommended establishment where you can enjoy a satisfying meal while immersing yourself in a charming atmosphere.
About this restaurant, I went to take out the food, it was about 20 minutes to their closing time. Immediately after I walked in, the waitress without even saying hello, with a rude tone said we are closed! It was 20 minutes to the closing time, and the door was open so ... if I wanted to be fair their food and the interior of the restaurant is good their price is a buthigher than the average which I dont mind it. BUT, No wonder its always so empty inside this restaurant!
Poor service and poor food quality; rude servers! First we asked for Zereshk polo with chicken the server said we have Zereshk polo with chicken skewers witch totally is a Random dish and it s not authentic Persian dish because they were ran out off fresh chicken and at the time server been asked she could not answer in the proper way and showed attitude! My friend ordered shishlik kebab and when his food arrived it was not shishlik at all it was beef filet and again server been asked for that and she could not answer why they have beef filet instead of shishlik on their menus and she answered disrespectfuly and rude ! Over price food and poor quality not recommended!
This place was amazing . Food and serving were satisfying. Decoration also was beautiful which makes it an interesting place to dine in
My worst experience in persian restaurants. Waste of money.The food tasted bad. Nothing was fresh. I left the restaurant hungry as I could not eat my food, went to another restaurant, paid again and ate there. Will never come back.
Waiting 1 hour to bring the food to me, nobody tell me you have to wait 1 hour to serve you. 1 person to serve 10 table..
I came here yesterday & I was greeted by the Shadi at the front and she made me feel right at home. It was beautiful atmosphere. Very friendly staff very clean. Food was delicious and I m already back today. I would definitely recommend this place. Amazing prices and quality.
I recently ordered online from Taftan Kebob and was not disappointed The food portion was large for take out and it was very yummy!! I ordered minced beef kebobs and it was so flavourful that two was not enough!! I could have eaten more!! A well balanced meal and I will definitely order from them again!!
Excellent service, great food, beautiful decor.
Best place
The food was so good also the service too . I recommend that restaurant to everyone one
The service is top quality. The employees are friendly and the service is fast. I ordered a dish of lamb chops with basmati rice. The plate was generous. The ribs were a little overcooked for my liking, but overall the food was excellent. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.
Ordered Kebob and chicken kebob, food was cold, as if it was left a side for an hour. Faloodeh was horrible like hell and $10 the price, Ice cream in the menu picture was 3 scop for $8 , the real one they brought was one scop $8 . Never go back.
The food is good, for people who taste the Iranian / Persian food , the taste is good . People serving are nice as well , young and smiling
I would like to invite you and recommend this place to your family and friends
Taftan North York, is one of my favourite places, to eat, chill and spend a good time with family. The atmosphere is pleasant. staff are so caring and friendly. Food quality, portions and design is completely acceptable with delicious taste.
One of the best Persian restaurants I have ever been to in Toronto. When you enter, the atmosphere and decor catches the eye, the server, mr. Parsa, so friendly and welcoming, best manners, he actually recommended lamb shanks with rice which was fantastic and delicious. The manager also is very welcoming and hospitable, he is young and also experienced in Persian cuisine. By the way it is a five star.
A very good Persian restaurant, food was amazing and everything was perfect
Very nice atmosphere and excellent meals. Great service. Highly recommended.
They have the best Lamb shanks in the town. Not only the food is perfect but also the staff is super friendly and professional. Their chef was checking the salon to make sure everything is going well and everything is perfect. My overall experience in this Persian restaurant was so good and I highly recommend it to everyone.
Food was ok but I really enjoy interacting with Parsa. He was very friendly and welcoming.
I ordered through Uber Eat, and the quality was very bad, not tasty at all, dry, and taste like raw meat. Honestly the taste of koobideh and joojeh was raw and I really feel bad because of the taste. last time to order from this restaurant and sorry for wasting my money and presenting a bad persian food to my quest.
In this beautiful restaurant you can feel that you are in Iran, and you are connected to our great culture and history. The atmosphere is like you are in Shomal or Darband with great persian traditions. BIta is an excellent human being with a beautiful heart. She welcomed us very warm and we felt we were home. She is very professional, polite and pure persian lady. Thank you Bita for giving us such a wonderful experience. Dear Shahpoor thank you so much for your beautiful mix persian music. You are wonderful.
As soon as I entered the Balbakhandzaiba restaurant, I met a friendly and kind girl, with a polite and professional public relations that spoke of her authenticity. To be honest, the Iranian design was a sign of love and pride for the Iranian identity. Also, the authentic Iranian music made me and my companions ecstatic. I have never seen the voice of love better than the sound of the words of love, a memory that remains in this round dome. Bita, thank you for being so warm and friendly. Thank you, Mr. Shapour. Good luck, I will introduce you to all my friends and acquaintances of the restaurant.
I have been loyal to my local Persian restaurant, but I finally gave in to try Taftan kebob. The environment inside is really nice, from the decoration to the private booths. Food was prepared fresh and it came in fancy plates. Overall the experience was great. Will be coming to try more of their menu.
First time here. We got Koobideh, Vaziri, Loghme, and Barg. Koobideh was meh.. didn t have a taste and it was dry. Barg was my favorite and the Jooje kabab (vaziri) was good. Mirza Ghasemi wasn t like Miraz Ghasemi. It didn t have the smoky taste of the eggplant. The Kashko Bademjoom was good but it could ve had a bit more garlic in it. They served us Tahdig with stew, the stew was good but the Tahdig was kind of soggy when it arrived due to the amount of stew on it. The yogurt drink was really good.
Discovered this nice Persian restaurant. First time trying Persian food and I really enjoyed it. Great food and friendly staff.
The worst koobideh Kabab I ve ever had. The 2 stars are for the chicken kabab and lamb chops which were decent.
Delicious, Amount of food is enough, Very tasty. Location and atmosphere is beautiful.
Hoax, Not even taftan kebob, it says taftan traditional. Never order from here. They are very greedy. Got scammed from this place. They need to update their menu and sites. Their sites and links lead me to order incorrectly and ended up costing me more than I expected.
DO NOT ORDER BASED OFF ATTACHED WEBSITE. Out of date and as a result got scammed from the place as it is not the correct menu. Right off the bat it was a negative experience, staff was very unfriendly and were not understanding. I don t even want to eat their food because of their poor attitude. Save your money and order from any other Persian place besides this one.
I stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant today and I was welcomed warmly. I ordered lamb and rice for takeout and the food was delicious and very well seasoned and packaged . I highly recommend this restaurant!!!
wow so good
Tasty Iranian food. Great service. Love the presentation
Nice Persian restaurant. Prices are moderate
Looks and looks . But food need to stand out a bit. And focusing on service.
I like only Taftan branch in Don mills location bcs there is best chef in, he is the best every things specially for Dizi
I visited Taftan today with my cousin. I wanted to introduce my cousin to Persian food. From the atmosphere to the service and most importantly the food was amazing. The food was fresh and the waiter helped describe what we flavours we would be expecting to taste with our order. Both my cousin and I plan on returning with our family so that they too can enjoy this restaurant.
This is the best of the best Persian restaurant you can find in Toronto , hands down , the way Parsa takes care of his guests is amazing .. can t say enough about this place .. you have to try it
The live performance was phenomenal Food was good too Food : 5/5
They have attitude towards customers, their food quantity was not enough, they charged more than some of the prices on their menu. Also, the music was too loud. I wouldnt recommend this restaurant
Very bad food ,very bad service. I was in the hospital for two days because he serve me with expire meet.
I m not recommending anybody I get sick and very bad food
Food is great! My husband loved it so much. We ordered Sultani. The veal fillet mignon was his favourite. Portion is great! Was not able to see washroom. The ambience is not my cup of tea. Its too busy. Service is good and fast. Parking at this plaza is always a pain.. so BE PATIENT AND CONSIDERATE.
Amazing food Wonderful service Friendly staff Great vibes loved it
It was such a wonderful experience Saturday night with live music, Thanks ( YARI ) you have very nice voice and you chose amazing songs
Uncooked rice, kebab smell raw meat
Food was delicious. Felt like I was somewhere in the motherland. All of the meats on the platter were spot on
Last night we went there a group of seven The waiter offered the best special mahicheh &shevid baghla. We trust him and four of us ordered the same but the mahicheh looked like was cooked the day or days before and they warmed it up and brought it to us as a fresh and special food I won t go back to this restaurant again and I won t recommend it to anyone
beautiful place and satisfying food
Had lunch here, lamb kabob meal, and sultani kabob meal! Food was amazing, the taste, the flavours, and portion Atmosphere was also great
I went for the first time, but the experience I had, I will never go there again and I recommend the same to everyone. While I was there all the orders were served wrong. I ordered shishlik and everyone knows what a shishlik is, and they bring me a lamb kebab and say that this shishlik is boneless. OMG, it was unbelievable.
Food is delicious and well served. Nice atmosphere. Service was good. Vegetarian options: Aash, mirzaghesemi Food : 5/5 |
High price + bad Costomer service . i dont recommend to any one
Highly recommend the Barg and Chenjeh Kabab which is delicious!
Excellent taste of Persian food for decent price. I went with 10 more colleagues and we all enjoyed the food. Service is pretty good and the lady working their helped us to choose right menu for decent price. Atmosphere is awesome! Highly recommended !
