We love coming to this piece of Persian heaven. During the week, we always get joojeh wrapped in taftoon and tomatoes. It's so healthy, fresh and delicious. We came here for breakfast and they did not disappoint. The tea is piping hot and tasty, the Haleem is authentic, and the eggs with tomatoes are enjoyable alongside fresh barberry bread. The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming, and the Iranian decor is so cute. You are always greeted with happy faces, and the owner is always ensuring the guests have a pleasureable experience. Even if it is just take out.

The place is Persian!!! Food quality is not bad but not the best! Little bit pricey!!! Their wraps are amazing,very flavourful and fresh cooked! Friendly and polite staff and owner! One important thing! Their bread is not fresh and not even preheated in oven!!!

If you don't live in Richmond Hills and crave good, authentic Persian food, there is a nice little, well decorated and good Persian restaurant located close to Finch and Dufferin. The food is good, really good. I ordered Dizi, that is Persian Soup and it was served in traditional tray and dishes with all codimends, fresh, good and tasty. The restaurant is rather small but it's decorated with love and the owner is gentle, kind and caring. There is plenty of parking around and the tea was fantastic as well.

my first experience was pleasant! I heard of this place and was told that they have a Persian dish called Ab-Goosht/ Dizzi( meaning beef juice in Farsi). If you want more details I suggest you look it up online lol! Staff were very friendly and welcoming and served us well! The food was decent served with fresh bread (sangak also a Persian bread fresh baked on pebble stone) Overall happy with my experience! Give it a try if you want to try some authentic Persian dishes

It is definitely a Persian restaurant not a Turkish one!! They even serve Persian dishes rather than Turkish ones. The only Turkish option they had in the time we visited was Pide which was not available at the moment! Despite the name which is not current and should change, their food is good. All dishes were delicious and the price was logical. When we visited the place, the ventilation didn't work at all and the space was full of kebab smoke!! That's why I deducted a point with the hope that they address the issue currently. Their Boghche kebab was unique and highly recommended. Pros (+) and Cons (-) summary: + Food quality and price + Friendly staff + A DJ playing some music - Ventilation - incorrect naming as it should be Persian not Turkish.

FOLLOW MY FOOD REVIEW IG: snackinwithstasia 🔥 AMAZING! This was my first ever time trying Turkish kebab, my boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place accidentally and decided to try it out on a whim. We went around 8 pm or so on a random Wednesday, and whoever the older man was serving us (he wasn’t the owner, but he was very sweet and helpful nonetheless!) pulled out all the stops to make our late night comfort food experience the best ever! The place is quaint, with a lovely village-esque atmosphere, and the food is to die for. He gave us warm butter lentil soup on the house as a special surprise since this was my first time having traditional Turkish food, and my god, the soup was amazing. I would return just for that alone LOL I’ll actually be going tomorrow night with my boyfriend again, because he’s been dying to try their shisha, and I’ve been dying for their rice and lentil soup again!

We've been to this restaurant with our family. We tried Karniyarik and Inkarbeyendi for entry, it was amazingly true to it's origin. The main meal was mixed turkish grilled meat including Doner Kebab, Iskender Kebab and Adena Kebab. By far, it's the best Doner we have ever eaten in Toronto area. The host, Mrs Nazila was friendly too! We really enjoyed our experience.

This place has the best Persian food in town! I have been to almost all Persian restaurants and by far this restaurant takes the lead. We went there yesterday as a group of 15(9 kids under 6) and they were so nice and the services was amazing. The family platter was so delicious, the jigar was also amazing and don t even get me started on the dizi it was bomb! Highly highly recommend that you try it out if you are looking for amazing Persian food. Parking: Lots of parking Kid-friendliness: Amazing with kids we had 9 kids under the age of 6 and they were amazing

Ive been to many Persian restaurants in Toronto, but none of them were like here. The taste of meals here is so close to legit Persian food. The taste is somehow nostalgic for me. I strongly suggest this restaurant. I have also been here to try Dizzi, it was awesome as well. Vegetarian options: Not too diverse in terms of veggi. Kid-friendliness: The place is safe for kids.

Amazing food. Turkish Coffee was very refreshing. Food was authentic and staff was very welcoming and friendly. A great find.

December 21, 2022

Definitely this is not a Turkish restaurant. It is just a bad imitation. They are reducing the quality of Turkish food by using the name of a Turkish restaurant. Visiting this place will be a disappointment especially for those who will try Turkish food for the first time. The inside of the restaurant was dirty, dusty and messy. One person both served as a waiter/caisher and prepared the meals. So, the food was brought late. I guess when the owners of restaurant ate Turkish food, they thought they could. But food was tasteless and poorly cooked. Most things on the menu were not available. You dont waste your money and time.

We went to Koy Evi restaurant Friday night after the nearby Mandarin restaurant was full. The restaurant was completely empty. It was pretty warm since there wasnt any air conditioning. There was an outside patio. We ordered some kebab dishes. The food was pretty good and tasty, but nothing special. The food wasnt Turkish, but Persian. Would we come back to this restaurant? No since it was in the middle of nowhere.

★★
December 21, 2022

The food we got was tasty. However, they did not deliver the yogurt sauce or desert that we ordered, and they charged us for them. No one answered the phone when we called to see what happened. So yeah, good food but if you get it delivered, check your order twice before the delivery guy leaves.

Lovely Turkish/Iranian restaurant that is good at both cuisines. I tried their Iranian pizza which was great but also tried their beef doner which was phenomenal and surprisingly not fatty - despite its huge portion size, I was able to eat it without feeling bloated. Their koobideh kebab was great too. The staff/owners are super friendly and really into what they do, everything is done fresh and with passion, even the decor has a warm homely touch to it. Highly recommend Koy Evi.

December 21, 2021

I have never seen any Turkish restaurant like this. Workers can not speak English( just a little) or Turkish. Also, inside is very dirty. Empty drink bottles, glass etc. Nobody is wearing gloves while preparing the foods. They are not professional. I can t go there again.

Good food but horrible service, went there once , half of the menu was not available , the rest took a while to make . So second time called ahead and ordered food , they said sure come by . Sounded like they had no idea what I said . Anyways went there , no one spoke english and they hadnt got anything ready . I only get 30 min of lunch and cannot afford to wait there for 20 min to get my food . The food is okay , hence the second try . awful ownership. Its funny seeing all these reviewers here with one review only . Go figure...

I think its important to have an option for people to call orders in by phone. Especially during a pandemic. Its not easy finding you on Uber eats when I am coming from another city to buy your food then go to work. I was willing to try your food but its not meant to be.

I ordered Adana Kebab from over Uber Eats. I received the thing in the picture. It is not an Adana Kebab but a very salty one skew meat ball in kebab shape. I even couldnt eat it. It was very bad. They even did not send me any breads and they forgot to send my lentile soup order too. I will add the Kumefe picture too, which is a vwry bad imitation of real Kunefe. I will never eat from here again and do not advise others to try. Very very bad quality. PS: I am from Turkey and know very well what an Adama Kebab and a Kunefe is. Shame on you guys.

December 21, 2020

Adana kebab is very greesy and too salty. Turkish tea is $2 for the small cup, when other turkish restaurants give tea for free. Adana kebab in every restaurant comes with rice and veggies. Here is the kebab just itself and you need to pay for rice and salad $10 extra. Bad management. I didn t enjoy the food, plus your price is too high. And actually this restaurant is not turkish, all the staff there are persians. Menu consist persian food mostly.

The food was delicious however the salad and appetizers needs real work. I ordered iskender and my husband ordered koobideh. Both were well made and had great taste. Sitting area is small. If you go during late hours prepare to see drunk dancing people. Honestly I was shocked and turned off by this. We were moved just to accomodate the drunk dancers. I have not seen this before and expected this only at bars at very late hours. We went at 9:30-10.

So I went here with one of my old buddies totally by accident! We were circling around looking for a Chinese restaurant to eat and and we just said you know what lets try this place. Best accident ever! The decor was nice the staff was so friendly and welcoming! Honestly the level of the hospitality we received was as if we were their family member going over to their house to eat I was amazed! Now the food was so fresh and tasted so good it was almost as if I was tasting food from those videos from turkey you see on instagram! There was baccarat for us to play a really nicely designed table I would have to add. After our meal the nice lady at the restaurant treated my friend and I to some authentic homemade Turkish tea and probably one of the best baaklava Ive ever head Truly one of the most authentic and nice dining experiencs Ive ever had in Toronto !!! Thank you for having us I will love to come over again and again hope to see you all soon!
