Don’t let the outside appearance fool you, as soon as you try the food, you will understand this place is 5 star quality food. All ingredients and meat is super fresh, feels like real authentic home cooking and very reasonably priced. A true hidden gem.
I recently had an amazing dining experience at Belle Bar & Restaurant where I ordered the Vaziri, and I loved it! The flavors were so delicious and perfectly balanced. The ambiance was lovely, and the service was top-notch. Belle Bar & Restaurant is definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for a great meal.
This is a real hidden gem if you are into Iranian cuisine. Rice is the best I ever had in any restaurant / catering in the town, shishlik and barg kebab taste very similar we used to have back home and do not forget to try the Israeli salad. They have two different ver delicious sause comes with salad which make salads unique and very tasty. The only reason I give 4 stars to the atmosphere is cleanness. Tables are a bit sticky and there is kind of bad smell inside the restaurant.
Food was tasety, portion per price was good for most of the items BUT everything else was a no for me! Very old decoration, and somewhat dirty place. Some of the glassware were dirty and the tables were sticky:( The bathroom was filthy dirty and disorganized and broken!!! This made me to absolutely question food sanitation!! The staff were friendly but they were not dressed properly. It seems like the waiter was there in his pijamas! There should be a minimum standard level for every restaurant! chose this place for a family gathering and I regret it. Will never come back:(
This food was so scrumptious by and it tasted literally amazing and so divine! I’ve never tasted anything better. the moment it touched my tongue I fell in love with this restaurant and I definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. Service was absolutely amazing and so quick. I’ve never been served faster. The workers were super nice and they always checked up on us and refilled our drinks. The atmosphere was literally the best and it had such nice background music. I felt so welcomed and the chairs were so comfortable and it was very couched. Also the tables and everything else was super clean and I can tell how hard the workers have been working to accomplish the smile on the customers face. the kabob was literally the best kabob ever and the most juicy kabob ever I literally was so amazed by the presence of this food on the table I just had to take a photo for the memory. Also the salad on the side was literally so good like omg and I will definitely come back a couple hundred more times. Thank you so much to this restaurant for everything.
I recently dined at belle restaurant and honestly the food is fantastic. Paired with an amazing atmosphere this restaurant is a true gem in our community. 10/10 would recommend.
Today we ordered food from this restaurant but unfortunately not only the quality was very bad ( I ordered rack of lamb ) also the quantity was terrible ! They charge me 55 $ for food and instead of sending 6 pieces , I got only 3 pieces with lots of rice! . I don’t recommend this restaurant to anybody else and I wont ever order any food from them😡
I tried Fish and Rice and Vegetable(Persian Food name ‘Sabzi polo ba mahi’) and that was what I had expected.Please be informed that their prices are a little bit high! that is why I give 3 stars.
I like it
Will be back to tryout more from the menu; the kebabs were delicious!
I ve been coming here for years and every time the owners are so friendly and the food is great. This restaurant has been around for years and the food is truly amazing. Food

Food is perfect
Real neighborhood gem. Really flavorful food. We had the chicken shawarma and shish kebab, and the mezzah plate and it was more than enough for our family of 4. They also carry an Israeli brand soda/juice that was delicious and enjoyed by the kids.
Great shawarma
Friendly service, great food; big portions for a good price.
Best shawarma Ive ever had
Amazing guys making amazing food
Wonderful fresh food! Didn t get a chance to get a photo The food and service was amazing. Highly recommend : everything on the menu!
Such a lovely place! high-quality Persian food, generous portions, friendly staff, reasonable prices
Was very good atmosphere ! Tasty food , great service .
Very good food .friendly owners.very nice
The best baba ganoush I have ever had. A must try.
I have visited this restaurant a few times and have always been impressed by the great food and lovely owners. The value for money is also excellent. However, the washrooms are in poor condition and require immediate attention. If this issue is addressed, the restaurant would deserve five stars.
Very tasty and cozy
Good place, delicious food and friendly owner/cook!
Great authentic mix of Persian, Azerbaijani style cooking of middle-eastern foods. Very good shawarma (not many good ones can be found in Canada), homemade Baklawa and Jams. The host was great too.
Nice place
Good food, value for money and very friendly people.
Amazing food! Will return
The best lulu kebab in Toronto. Period.
Very friendly and good food specially the souce are great
Good restaurant
Delicious & food always made fresh! Big portions we come here every week :) totally recommend!!!! Hidden gem, you won t find food like this anywhere.
Excellent customer service. But the Shawarma sandwich has 0 sauce in it. It was just some chicken and salad wrapped in a laffa. Very dry.
A piece of something of ours in Canada!
Great food, great value, and great staff. I often get the shawarma in pita and it never disappoints. Highly recommend this place to satisfy that Mediterranean food craving. Note that they only take DEBIT or CASH.
A Gem in North York. My coworker recommended this place to me, and it did not disappoint. The food tasted great, and they had good sized portions, which I really respect in this modern day economy.
Neighborhood go to. Family owned business, and I am treated like family. The food is so tasty and authentic, and the portions are always generous. Old world intimate. I love to support local restaurants like this; the owners work tirelessly and always with a smile. Let s support our community
Ordered a rack of lamb and was asked if I wanted it medium or medium well. Ordered medium. The three tiny pieces of meat were hidden beside a mountain of potato chips. They were very overcooked and I went out for another meal after dining because it was nothing. Very disappointed.
Reasonable price and tasty food ...
Really super nice owners and great food.
Kabab was burned but inside was uncooked. And the kabab barg was like a gum. And I wait 1 hour for them to make it Food : 1/5
The health inspector must conduct an immediate inspection of this place. The safety and well-being of the public should always be a top priority, and any potential health hazards must be addressed without delay. Foods are overpriced considering the quality of it. Overall wont recommend this place to anyone.
Good food fresh kebab
The food was good and so was the service. One of the best restaurants I ve ever ate at. 10/10 would recommend.
Bruh moment. This might be the most delish shawarma in my fricken life! Mashallah thankyiu belle bar and restaurant
pretty good
Excellent
This is lowkey one of the most underrated bar/restaurants in town. Please come here if youre in the area. I tried their eggplant and nearly fainted of deliciousness. Their sauces made my mouth water, and the delicious aroma of the eggplant was extravagantly adequate and amazing. Please, and I mean PLEASE come here if you are in the area. DEFINITELY the BEST Persian food in North York. The owners were too kind.
W
yum
Best food in town.
So good! The owner specially made my dinner, seasoned with exotic seasoning, beautiful place, absolutely recommend, I bring my family here every day and they always thank me.
Great family owned business with authentic middle eastern cuisine. (i recommend the kebab and their ceaser salad is amazing) service was good and i will be coming back
Good
Fantastic food and atmosphere,kabab was great. Gem in north York
Good food. Would recommend.
I got so sick from their shawarma. It was so wet and sloppy at the half way mark I ended up throwing it away. For the stuff I did eat, made me throw up horribly
Love it
I feel like Im at home when I go there. Food is very delicious and hosts are super nice all the time. Just love this place.
Their koobideh tasted delicious and so original Persian. I would try it more in the future.
Wonderful hospitality
A good place to bring the family. You most likely will be required to pay cash. So come prepared
Delicious food and the owners are incredibly friendly. Highly recommended
Its best falafel whenever Im try !!! Belle my favorite restaurant
What great food ! Nice place, the service makes you feel at home and the food is just great.
Quality so bad ,test so bad ,service so bad
I tried this restaurant about one year ago, which food quality was so good, especially its Kobideh Kebab. Today, after about one year, we went there with some of our friends, it didnt have previous quality at all, and I would rather say it was really awful. The Kobideh Kebab was very fatty, Its main ingredient was fat instead of meat. Although we were the only dining customers that time, the food was served very late. We were not satisfied with the food and service at all
The worst food I ve ever eaten .we ordered koobide kabab but the taste was awful.and service was late and the weren t responsible for the customer.
The food is very tasty.
Great quality Persian food in northyork, highly recommended
Best Koobideh in the city so far
The food feels completely homemade. Highly recommended
The owner of this place is friendly. The brunch is plentiful and the atmosphere is delicious and comfortable. I love the warm atmosphere here. I will go back.
Best Persian food
Delicious!
The fries were awesome and the pita tasted amazing. The garlic sauce and the humus were so tasty.
I went to party that was catered by Belle Restaurant and we absolutely loved the food. I just placed an order for an upcoming party I m hosting and I was very impressed with the customer service I received so far. Mozhgan was very helpful and I m looking forward to a party with great food and friends.
Excellent experience..
So delicious food and good price I had good experience there and recommended for all
Food was simply delicious, unfortunately shawarama ran out, but the grilled dark meat pita was wonderful. Will definitely come back again when they have the shawarma.
Fresh, delicious and healthy. Great customer service, family owned and friendly. Blessings to you and your family Mozhghan
I have tried too many resultants and different foods around the world This place has authentic , tasty food One of my favourite dishes is kubideh in this place I ve had same food almost three times in a week and I still want to have some for today When you compare with other kebabs you will find out Amazing food ! Thank you
Family owned restaurant with delicious food! Everything we try is always very fresh and very tasty.
I came in and the owner was so disrespectful. I will never go back.
Delicious coffee
Hello, we came for the first time. We had foreign guests. The appetizer was good, but the fried and pounded chicken was very, very bad. It was not cooked. The service was very bad. They were arguing with us about where it was not cooked. The soup was cold and unsalted. The taste was bad. We were in a bad mood until the morning. We will not return, sorry
Yesterday was the first time I went to this restaurant and enjoyed the food here. The memory of authentic Iranian food came back to me after a long time. Thank you to the warm and friendly family of the owner of the restaurant
Fantastic quality, great service. Food was fantastic. We ordered the shawarma was delicious. Staff was helpful and nice.
This is a charming restaurant. Its a cosy setting with wonderful staff , very tasty food especially the kebab .
Amazing experience! Great food, very warm and kind customer service. especially perfect for hanging out with friends or inviting guests for your upcoming parties.
All the items were 10/10 will come back to try more Vaziri kebab (1 chicken, 1 ground meat) Borscht Salad Fries Service was warm and welcoming run by a family
Holy wow delicious food! We ordered the platter for 4 and a side of salads. There was plenty of food with enough for leftovers . Everything was delicious and the chips were the BEST Thanks!
Best restaurant hands down and I ve ate at many different restaurants . I love how you can get a hearty meal here and still eat a lot still feel great after. I ve gone here multiple times with my boyfriend who had introduced me to this place, we usually get rainbow trout with rice and chips. The salad that comes with it so good and the pomegranate sauce that goes on the fish is to die for. I ve tried the chicken and salmon as well all very delicious and fresh. We always call ahead of time and they always prepare it for us. Best service and food. We love coming here!
I have been going to Belle for many years now and have always found the service and homey atmosphere very relaxing. The food is always cooked to order, very tasty and plentiful. If you go do, try their home style potatoes.... Hmm, Hmm Good!!! They make their own condiments which are very delicious indeed!!! Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options on the menu and all I have found to be very tasty. Parking: Parking is easy and very convenient to the restaurant.
What a hidden gem! Flavourful, generous portions, friendly service, and a great price. We had avocado salad, Vaziri which comes with salad, rice, and home fries, wine, and coffee. The large Vaziri is enough for two people. The wine glass is filled to the rim! Run by the owners, they make you feel at home. We saw several people who came to pick up orders also. Debit and cash only.
I like this restaurant, I order from there already more in 2 years, all my family like this food very delicious I highly recommend them.
The preparation is very tasty, especially the chicken kebabs, the portions were large, one for two and one for three
As a long time regular, the staff and management of this restaurant have always treated me and my order with the upmost respect and have went above and beyond to provide a delicious, catered meal. highly recommended!! Food 10/10, service 11/10.
I go here frequently never failed me. Friendly owner and food is always amazing
Extra ordinery customer service, delicious foods and kebabs. tasty shawerma. excellent quality and generous portion
Ordered a chicken shawarma pita & garlic potatos. Tastes great, will be coming back!
Delicious food and generous portions. Quick delivery if you order straight from the restaurant. Upsized our greek salad just to be nice.
Incredibly good food. The chicken is tender. The soups are flavourful and hearty. Their homestyle potatoes are crisped to perfection and mouthwateringly garlicky.
Great food and portion sizes. Quick delivery the food was still warm thanks.
It was extremely tasty.
Great place
No issues here service no issues products no issues
Awesome fresh food with great service. Good ambience.
Absolutely the most flavourful food we have enjoyed so far! Generous portions, freshly prepared and served with love. We highly recommend this beautifully run family restaurant. You will not be disappointed. We had the opportunity to try several options available from the menu. We guarantee you that you will enjoy your meal as much as we did. We will definitely be coming back for more! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Nothing tasted fresh, and everything tasted old frozen precooked and reheated. Im not sure why it got such a high rating; it was just a 4.5 at the time. In fact, I selected to try this restaurant because of the positive recommendations, and Im disappointed because I trusted the rating. Lule kebab and chicken breast kebab were included in our order. The chicken had a tofu-like texture and was exceedingly chewy. Lule was even worse; I couldnt tell if the ground beef was genuine or not. We stopped eating after a few bites and I inquired about the bill. The lady at the front was surprised and asked if we had finished our food, to which I said that we had stopped eating because it was not fresh. We paid the entire bill, and she walked to the rear of the store, leaving us alone. She even observed us hardly touching our dishes and made no attempt to find a solution or reimburse us.
Excellent restaurant with a great service and tasty food. My favorite are the garlic chips and the lula kebab. Fair price. Plates serve 2 people.
The food was good. The portion sizes were quite large. We wanted to order shawarma, but unfortunately for us, it was sold out. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner here. I hope we can try the shawarma next time.
Extremely friendly and food was delicious. I would go as much as I can. Thank you for the great hospitality
Their shawarma in a laffa is the best.. staff is amazingly friendly, good vibes and atmosphere
Wonderful restaurant, great food and service!
Had an all day breakfast.
Good setting
Food quality meiocare! Prices high! First time trying this restaurant. The food quality is not the best. The staff are friendly but thats about it. The lule - or koobideh - is 12.99 and only one skewer! I dont know another place that even serves one skewer as koobideh meal nevermind charging that much. Overall i wont go back here, as there are plenty persian restaurants around yonge and finch area. As for the inside of the restaurant, i ordered take out however the setting was organized and clean.
Best quality food.. amazing Kababs soo juicy and full of flavor.. Sooo Good I am addicted to the Lula Kabob..
The best place for dinner.
At least once in a week we either having breakfast or dinner at this restaurant. It is clean, friendly and gorgeous environment. As for the food, there is no other place that could prepare you a kebab the way Belle does.
Outstanding service and food.
Fantastic place to go with your family. This place never disappoints. Great service. Very classy atmosphere! Prices are good. meals are fabulous. Best quality food. You can t go wrong .
They have by far the best shawarma I had. They have an amazing cook, highly recommend.
Its a wonderful place, that makes wonderful cuisine, run by equally wonderful people
Got delivery during the pandemic, it was easy and quick. Delicious and good portions for a decent price. Will eat again.
Some of the best falafel I ve had everything was done very well!!
The portion was very little! One person can barely fill up.
One of the best restaurants. Very friendly staff and very high quality food. Beautiful decorations. You can always listen to the best persian songs there. Also best place for shawarma.
Wonderful nice people and one of the kids he look like my little nephew i love it more i almost show the owners one of the pic from my nephew.
Do you have Georgian OLD MARANI wines?
The best kind of Kebab in the town .
First and foremost the food is excellent. The breakfast special is a great bargain. Theres free parking in the lot steps away from the entrance and when that fills up theres plenty of street parking. Or you can get there by bus. Theres a Finch or Bathurst bus arriving every few minutes.
Delicious food and very friendly staff.
Wonderful middle Eastern food fabulous
Very friendly Boss, Stuff, professional hospitality, affordable breakfast, clean, thanks a lot.
