80 Ellesmere Rd, Scarborough, ON M1R 4C2, Canada
A staple takeout spot in Toronto. Some of the best kabobs I’ve had in the city. I see comments about poor service - I go here for the food and don’t expect any Michelin star service. My encounters with the staff have been decent. This shop is a must visit for mouth watering Persian eats!
Best take out food, can never be disappointed with their Kobideh (kabab), we’ve been their customer for almost 30 years. Good inventory of Iranian food.
What a delightful experience , wonderful food and very generous staff who were happy to add some extras just for us to sample. Good value for money
The owner of this market is so kind. The food that he brings taste so amazing and makes me full. It’s worth the money. If you’re looking for the best middle eastern meat or food in Scarborough, then come to Nawzar.
I used to go there like 7 years ago after my workout at the gym & get some Kababs. The owner is really nice, & sometimes they would give me stuff on the side for free like the date-biscuits that I liked. He asked me once about my gym, & when I told him about it, he joined it as well, as I now see him there every time I workout, since I've been back for almost 3 months. He invited me to come to his shop to make me a plate for free. That was a very good meal, I'll tell you that. The food is topnotch & delicious. May Allah bestow His blessings on him & his family, & flourish his business & expand it.
Ordered lamb with rice, and it was so delicious 😋 You should try their food. Can recommend to anyone.. This shop has lot of parking and the staff is very helpful. They got everything that you need. BBQ chicken, Lamb made in different flavors 😋. I have elevated my food taste to a whole different level now. I enjoy shopping here and never had issues.
Ordered the classic beef kebab dinner with dill rice and Fava beans. With a walk-in it took about 15 minutes to be ready. They should verify what rice you want after you order. The cashier was a bit rude; I actually discovered this restaurant about 20 years ago. The kebabs are very good and have not changed much over the years. It was $18 for the dinner which definitely has gone up in price. The dinner included grilled tomatoes, raw onion, pickles, lemon wedge and chili peppers. Food was just warm considering I picked it up and waited for it to be prepared. I would visit again but would place my order first before going there.
Both the food and meat are so fresh here. The chicken kabobs are made right in front of us on demand. The rice varieties are also good especially the cranberry rice and dill rice. My favourite place in the area.
Highly recommended.
Found this in the food, looks like a piece of cooper wire I will NEVER buy from there anymore.
Sunday i waited on line for my pickup, owner of the store constantly reviling his employee in front of the costumers. with his abusive demeanor made her more confused. i dont think i ever will step in the store any more.
Delicious food, fair price and lovely staff. I shopped there for the first time and I am very impressed.
Horrible food quality Much more expensive than any other store Poor customer service
Best service
Food is great and service has improved. Quality foods!
We ordered kabab and rice and spaghetti for very special occasion the food was excellent the service was outstanding they opened so early to prepare the food on time and delivered the food on time this is our favorite restaurant and the best kabab in the aria everyone loved it thank you so much
Good selection, foods are amazing .
They rip off customers for a kebab skewer!
With so much attitude the lady served me food. First and last time here. Thanks Food was okay.
There is a rude woman who s always working the cash register(she should be working in the back and far away from customers) and no matter you buy, she always says is that it? She should be happy that there are customers who are buying anything at all. I think the owner places her there because he tells her to do this cause most men won t get upset if a woman asks that question. For this reason alone, I will never walk into this horrible place. I don t want to be judged for buying the amount of food that I need and I d not need her to tell me to buy more.
Absolutely the most authentic and delicious Kurdish/Persian cuisine Ive ever purchased. Prices are good and staff + ownership are very kind.
Great meats and flavours, very generous portions.
In my opinion, this is hands-down the best place for Koobideh kabob and Joojeh. Its a takeout place only, but the flavor, portion size, and trimmings (rice, onions, grilled tomato, sabze) are top shelf and generously provided. The team here is all heart - and you can taste it.
Very good
Great Kabab Koobideh and Jooje Kabab ! I can confidently say they provide THE BEST Koobideh in GTA i have ever tried. Period.
Yummy, freshly cooked for take out ready meals. Tomatoes are usually burnt. Otherwise I would give 5 starts. Customer service, great. Store neatness 4 starts. Smell in the shop, normal. Wait time, reasonable long since they are so busy. The convenience is you can order Uber eat
I ordered lam shank and chicken leg and they sent me kebab instead. You could just tell me you re out of lamb or chicken instead of sending totally different things. I m so disappointed
excellent food and excellent service
If you wanna treat yourself well, you must try this restaurant.
I went there for buying dates, she asked come here just for dates? then buy something more. When I checked date box in home, I found that one of them is 70 grams (one complete row of dates)less than 500 grams. I hope they don t know what happened to their goods and this such thing happened by costumers.
Perfect food
The best or Nothing !
Found pigeon in the store. Not hygienic place.
Best koobideh in the city by far!
Parking: Fkexible
The best food with the best services!!!!
I ve taken so many people here, and I always get the white rice waziri ($23 with tax). It s so consistent. Always so good. Can t recommend this place enough. You do have to wait about 15 minutes but it s definitely worth it.
A great Iranian/Kurdish restaurant in Scarborough. Love this place. Sort of cozy. It s a great joint to go to especially when you live in Scarborough and need Iranian food. Love these guys.
I was introduced by my friend to this amazing place. The food here is so yummy and well cooked and very tasty. I always get food and other things from this market . Parking: Always busy but I love the food so much I wait for a parking spot to open up
Used to love this place but stopped going at least 3 years ago. The manager was RUDE and he gave me an old beef kebab dish (was sick the next day). The prices were way too high (about $16 for beef kebab with rice) and I cannot imagine what they are now.
I have been going to this place for the last 10 years. One thing for sure is they never dropped their quality! It s always good, always fresh. Amazing and friendly people. Love it!
Ordered online for two different dishes then I got the wrong order with a note saying they are sold out, instead of calling me and informing me they gave me a different dish without asking for my permission or whether or not I like it.... it was too expensive, and not testy at all!!!
Great food but she stole my money! I ordered a $15 meal yesterday of rice and meat, and politely asked the woman serving for a couple of spoons of tomato sauce just to wet it, and she did quietly I give her $20 and she wont give my $5 back when was time to pay, claiming its for the two pathetic spoons of sauce I asked for ..sneaky! then she offers me a toonie which I refused to take as it was insulating. I woulda thrown the food back at her but I was hungry and rushing. I hope this review was worth the $5you wanted so bad..
Everything looks amazing the taste of the food
Great tasty food and very friendly people.
Horrible experience here. The server is very very rude, makes you feel unwanted. Makes you pay before the food comes, then asks you did you pay?? proceeds to serve everyone else who came after, and doesnt make them pay until after they got their food!!! Poor service, bigoted peopl run this place. and the prices keep going up. 0/5 stars
Good grilled chicken! Highly recommended. Only take-out no dine-in.
Greedy owners constantly raising their prices. $7 for 1 koobideh. What a joke. Not too long ago they were less than $4. Save your money and get a bigger bang for your buck elsewhere
I got 4 pounds of marinated chicken for 46 dollars!
Terrible customer service. They just have a sense of distain when serving you. But thats not even the reason for the 1 star. Its the lack of integrity and transparency with the pricing. There are no prices listed and they literally make up prices on the spot. They charged me 10.99 /lbs for chicken and 21 for some mystery beef. When I asked him what it was he said veal tenderloin but again, there are no prices marked. Read the other comments about their shady pricing antics. STAY AWAY.
Great for takeout food and their chicken from butcher is good and fresh as well. They have ready food in hot plates (rice, stews, lamb shank, etc) and also have a grill too cook fresh kebabs for takeout. I go here all the time for a quick satisfying meal.
Worst service Ive seen in my life, the guy inside is so rude with his employees and with customers. Ordered chicken they put kofta, one of the food packaging was bad so fiod fell after removing from bag. This people is providing bad service for the money theyre taking. I call it stealing....
We have been ordering food from Nawzar for over 10 years. The food is consistent & great quality.The kebabs are always done amazingly & one of the best in Toronto. Thank you Food
Nawzar is persian, take-away only. The lamb shank, meat kabob, different rices and several sides are all excellent and worth a try. However, the charcoal BBQ Chicken Kabob is fantastic. The seasoned and charcoal flavour of the chicken my #1 Choice. Try it, you wont be disapointed.
We have been going here for years, but usually my husband orders and goes in to pick up. The food is always so good and fresh. We usually get beef kabobs with roasted tomato and onion. It s made to order and best to eat it right away. But they also have other dishes which are made in advance so they just have to plate your order. There s no where to sit and eat here. It s strictly take out. This time, I ordered and picked up during lunch. I had no idea that they also have grocery items here! Many Iranian specialty items I cannot get at my grocery store can be found here. I m glad I went in.
The BEST kebabs!!!! The taste is always fresh, consistent and delicious. It is on the pricier side, but the quality is top. The rice is absolutely delectable. My family has been getting their kebab from Nawzar for years and we are never disappointed!
Amazing place, great service definitely check it out
Food was amizing and the owner was friendly
I ve been coming here for ages. A great place to buy kabob & rice. Food is always in great quality and well prepared.
Hello friends, I wanted to share my bad bad experience with you. Yesterday, which was the last day of 2021, what did I do wrong? I chose Super Nozer. You know, I had bought from them once or twice and I was only satisfied with the fresh meat it had and everything it had. And it was close to us, but each and every employee there is rude.... You will regret it. Yesterday, I had no choice. I went again. Wow, my familys last day of the year was ruined. My bank card was lost in the food store and I bought them. They disrespected me, I hate them and I am complaining
I have been coming to this place for ages. The taste of food is amazing and well prepared. The best part of this food is when you eat the 2nd day it taste even yummiest. So dont worry if youre over ordered because it tastes fresh when you eat it the 1st day and it taste yammier when you eat it the second Great job ,Amazing recipe.
The manager hes not nice at all. Bad customer service.
The restaurant owner is always rude to customers,People think that they are Iranians and they think that all Iranians are rude, they are Iraqi Kurds, they only speak Persian
By far one of the best restaurants in Toronto, the chicken is amazing and the beef is delicious! I order from here as often as I can.
High quality and great customer service!
Fantastic food and super nice staff. This is my favourite middle easter catering and take out for the last 15 years and still is today. You will enjoy the variety of food options and product selections. Stop by, you will love it!
This Persian food place is a go and grab place for me. Its a small store with compact Persian collections of food like honey, tea, spices, raw meats and take away ready foods. I Tried everything in their menu- Khorma zabzi, beef/sultan/lamb shank with Green rice or saffron rice, Waziri with Cranberry rice, Ghimeh stew etc. The freshly grilled kabobs right from the oven and crispy Tahdig served with combo kebab- are worth of Trying. * Ready to eat food Price is good but service is slow in peak time. Down sides are- price display and communication. They dont write the prices or names of the ready foods& raw meat. I found the servers are more responding to the people talking in their languages. However, Raw meat prices are way too much higher compared to other halal places, You have to confirm before buying.
Rude customer service and over priced items. The girl/lady on the counter was extremely rude and treat customers very poorly. It was my first time there. Never ever visit that creepy place again.
Great food!!
First time I bought food today wasn t unsure if I ll like it but it s so far the besttt! Love it
A hidden gem for take-out if you re in the mood for Iranian cuisine. Beef kebabs and chicken tikka are hands down the best you ll find in the area! While I can t speak for the grocery and butcher shop, the selection seemed endless and fresh. Very friendly owners and staff as well. It s a pleasure to shop from here.
My experience with this shop was very bad and unfortunately the food was left and we found skin and chicken bones in the eggplant stew and unfortunately they did not pay attention after protesting and answered very rudely.
The current rating on google for this place is not accurate, it says 3.8 but I ve been coming here for years and the food is always incredible and clean. Under rated and worth every penny. I don t eat most takeout because I don t trust people to be clean and make good food so that should say enough
I have been coming to this place to get delicate and excellent kabab Kubadeh food more than decade But no more, the price of the food went to the roof yet the taste is completely gone from the Kubadeh, the most taste less kubaneh in GTA.
Waziri and cranberry rice was delicious. Soo so good. Fresh and great portions. The meat was perfectly done and seasoned. Rice was perfect. Great presentation as well!! Dont hesitate
Amazing food ! Never any complaints. Our family has been coming here for a very long time and it tastes the same if not perfected even more. Love their kabobs and rice, best pickles. Lamb is delicious. Dill rice is so good. I love love love this place. Ordered for my dads birthday. Very reasonable priced! Please try if you haven t!
Delicious Iranian Kabobs and cuisine.
By far one of the best kebabs in town, owner is very friendly, persian restaurant, food is freshly made, large variety, you also get amazing lamb shank, lamb tongue and many other curries, you also be lamb chops barbeque, beef and chicken barbeque all taste amazing, owner is a very nice person, their green rice is a must try. I am a regular customer here. Last time i ordered 3 lamb tongue with green rice owner gave me one tongue extra for free. Keep up the good work guys ma shaa ALLAH may Allah give you barakah ameen
Food taste like it was sitting there for a week. Dont recommend this place for food.
Great food With reasonable price. I have been buying different dishes since 2011 and I have never been disappointed.
Heavenly food. They have the best Koobideh in town.
It was my first experience and they were perfect thank you
Best kabab ever, It s so delicious
The way the owner manages this place is a complete joke. The koobehdei served out of this place is mixed with all type of leftover organs that are supposed to go to waste, I wouldn t even feed the koobehdi it to my dog. If I could give 0 stars I would . Do your self a favour and Save your time, and money by not going to this place.
Worst place ever I had visited so far for meat, no proper cleaning, no proper cutting and even too pricey compared to others
Mixed plate on cranberry rice is amazing!
The Kabab price too high, I used to have it every two weeks once or more for 10+tax, but now it is 13+ tax. Whether on Lawrence there are better kababs, 10 skewers for 50 only. I will never go back to Nawzar, unless if they lower the price. Food : 4/5
Koobideh and Rice meal was delicious. Huge serving. 2 people could split it. Koobideh cooked over coals for great flavour. Only negative is no menu or prices displayed. Food
Best kebobs ever always on point!
40$ for a plate with 3 skewers and white rice + 25min wait + wrong order when you arrive at home = you deserve 1 star... Save your money, and go somewhere else.
Food tasted great!!!
Food is always great.
Best minister
Fast service for their hot table and fresh made Koobideh. All the food here is filled with authentic flavors that will send your taste buds on a joyride! Highly recommend trying them if your in the area!
Extremely salty and greasy food. Bought four plates and all end up in garbage.
My favorite kabob and grocery. Very clean and friendly staff!
asked if they had steak, they said they had t-bones and asked how many we wanted and how thick. we spent the $15 uber trip to get there to be told its veal and they dont have t-bones, which I could handle until he brought out this. I asked what he did to my meat and he said he tenderized it I didnt ask for it to be tenderized, its veal it doesnt need to be tenderized. I shouldnt be able to see through my cut of meat 2 beautiful cuts of meat wasted for no reason.
Good kebab
They are not honest with people they are cheating every person over there has different prices for food. 12/July /2021 time 7.45pm If you go there just be careful
Nice Persian grocery and hot plate shop. The cook on the kebab was excellent.
The offerings from the hot table here are really delicious - have tried it on several occasions and have not been disappointed once. The lamb shank was really good for the value and the servings of rice is generous. Highly recommended.
The entrance is narrow until you are at the the store where the butcher is. There is hot and ready for available here, lots of lentils mostly Persian food though looks like lots of other Middle Eastern cultural food as well.
The best kebab ever. So delicious....the meat very high quality....
I drove 60 km to get another order after trying first time 2 weeks ago. Today I made a big order of mix grilled lamb, veal, and chicken and all was amazing
Ordered their waziri plate today...did not like the kabab at all...plus it was cold....the chicken was over cooked and some parts were burnt...not really sure what they are upto...ordered rice with cranberries...rice came with non....the grilled tomatoes tasted old....over all the food wasnt good at alll
Excellent costume service and quality. You cant find better meat around. This is the one.
Unbelievable food my favourite place to take out so far in the GTA. Love it. Close your eyes and pick any of his barbecue, I eat the chicken legs the rice you have to mix it I like the green rice and the pomegranate rice amazing.
Bunch of thives are in there, they cheat, over priced!
Lamb shank doesnt taste good at all
Ordered the Waziri with cranberry rice. First time customer as well. Food was great, tender meat, yummy rice, good vegetables as well. Only complaint had to be the rice didnt taste like cranberries. Overall, good.
I ve been coming to this establishment for over 5yrs and the quality and taste of the food is absolutely amazing! Always fresh and cooked to perfection. I typically always get the Waziri with bread and have never been disappointed. Keep up the great work!
Very expensive
A great community supermarket.
Great food!
COSTLY - Unusually high priced - I went there only coz they were open until 9 pm.., Slow service. Nope, not next time
Been going for over 7 years and never disappointed!
Best kebab ever
I got their chicken kebob and it was shocking , 13 $ for few small pieces of chicken on a pita bread.
Good customer service. Always friendly
Great selection of jams and dates
With very dirty catering and food services.
rude
Nice and delicious food.
Love this place! They have a great selection of food for take out, meats and grocery items. I love their kebabs with rice as my go to, their onions are always fresh and sweet and the service and friendliness is always great!
Food and meat way over priced! With no price tag!! I think it s even illegal
I was very excited when I found this place but just had one of the worst customer service experience in my life with the man doing the kabobs, who I believe may be the owner. Would have spent much more if not for him and will gladly drive the extra 20 minutes to Yonge and Finch for persian groceries to be treated with common decency. As for the food, it was overpriced. Much better quality and exceptional service at Sedaghat Restaurant at Danforth Road and Danforth Avenue.
First time customer but definitely the last time Im going to this place. The food is over price and the worst service I have ever experienced. The person that makes the kabobs is the most unprofessional person that I have ever met. Dont waist your money here.
Love the food, tried Kabab, Baghali polo and mahicheh and kaboli rice. Very happy with the quality and service
best quality and best customer service
Extremely bad customer service in particular the owner and guy making kebab are very rude. No one is wearing a musk. Almost everything has no price tag and when you ask the price, its twice as much as other places. There are better persian stores in the area than there theives.
I bought some pomegranates which the lady affirmed was from the mediterranean area. They were a dollar more expensive than any other grocery store and very very bitter and rotten. Also she sold me cake which she confirmed was very tasty - it turned out to be a very expensive bun
5 stars for their kabobs alone! Such a great, classic, and healthy meal to go made over fire. Love when the juices of the meat, lemon, and tomatoes seep into their pita breads.
Ate here after a long time. Food was great like always. I regret not buying more.
they over charge and think you dont notice buyer beware
Delicious foods with variety options. The kabab is so yummy.
Gr8 and friendly stuffs food is tasty and fresh .
The place to go to order Iraqi kabab takeout. Tasty kebabs grilled on charcoal. A little high on the price but worth it if you like kebab.
Stumbled upon this place tonight. Im always curious about ethnic strip mall stores. This place had a lot of dry goods and flat breads, but I was distracted by their steam tables. The food looked soooooooo good I had to try it. Got the lamb shank ($9/each), some kind of lentil stew with dried lemons, some kind of spinach stew with dried lemons. Their saffron rice looked really delicious, but I decided to skip the rice and got some lavash bread instead. All of the food was really delicious. Definitely going back to this place to try more Persian food. The staff were really friendly and helpful too. (Sorry no close up photos of the food we ate it all... mmmmmm so good!)
Food is great. Friendly staff.
Nice little spot for takeout great koobideh
If youre going there expecting customer service and all smiles then dont go. Everyone seems to hate their job at this place (except for the young girl who has a life outside of this place since she smiles somewhat). Just place your order and stand quietly aside. Dont smile dont say nothing! Having said that, if you want good tasty food then you have to check out this place.. amazing bbq chicken. I dont worry too much about customer service since Im in and out anyway .. So Im giving 4 out of 5 because of the above average pricing... (Keeps going up all the time).
Great selections of Meat and Iranian products. As a professional butcher shop, you can find great pieces of lambs leg. Also there is a preparing food section which you can consider it as small but fresh food takeout restaurant all the time. Dont miss their Baghali Polo and Mahiche Persian Lamb Shank with Fava Beans Rice
Best kabab in Canada
No menus or prices in the entire store. The meat costs twice as much as other places
Very good service for us in our area
Faaanntastic! Love Nawzars delicious buffet and persian goodies!!
They are not truthful, when I asked for the price of meat they told me $7.99 per pound when came to pay the price it was $10.99 , not only that, the weight was less than what they sold me (when I came home I weight it and it was less!!! Not cool. Not going back there again! Not recommanding that shop to any one!
Real poor and rude service . food was amazing but the service killed the appetite.
Great Persian takeout
One of the worst customer service I have ever seen. The food is okay and it does not state the price for the food anywhere. I d rather stick to darband 5 Mins away from there. Customer service is much better and the food as well.
Customer service is extremely poor. The cook has no respect towards customers.never will i buy from here again
Best Kabobs in the whole GTA. Ive practically grown up eating these kabobs and theyve stayed consistently delicious all these years later. Ive had kabob from many different places and nothing has come close.
best place to eat
I wont give one star to them but they would not allow me to write a comment...These people are soooo sick and thief, the ground beef which is 3:99 per pound in most grocery store, they are giving it 10:99 per pound....I cannotbelieve how people make money.....and than saying our meet quality is different. Do you guys get your cow from Iran....
Very expensive
Quality of the meat/kebabs is exceptional. Give it a shot and order beef with rice, portion is very good, taste is best in the city.
Best hallal take out in the area; food and customer service is at best.
excellent
My friends and family have been ordering food regularly at this location for over 10 years. The short, stubby manager is extremely unprofessional and rude. He gave my employees and myself rotten rice with a mold taste. I called back to explain we are regular clients and this was not normal. He yelled at me and was screaming on the phone. He said next time you come you ask for the manager , you ask for the manager. I dont want to ask for the manager to get fresh rice, what kind of business is that? Do I have to see the manager to get fresh rice? Awful, awfulllllllll customer service and he didnt want to accept the disgusting left over food incident instead he yelled and made me feel useless. I will never ever go back to this market, it is awful and he is so rude to everyone I have ever seen him interact with. The rice situation has happened twice the first time I let it go and thought maybe it was a bad day for someone but the second time around I knew this was not normal. I would call public health on this store, extremely unsafe to re-use food.
poor organizing.. waited for 40 min for a Kagan and they dont even gave a salad with it.. 7.50+ is too costly
Best kabob in GTA. Always fresh rice and vegetables with your order
This is a butcher/take out/grocery store. The staff is very friendly about explaining their options of food choices. They serve a kabobs with sides and rice. The kabobs are fresh with a strong bbq flavour and the rice is perfectly cooked. Also, FYI the meat is halal. The beef kabobs comes in skewers of 2 and the chicken comes in skewers of 1.
Really good kabab
Nice place, if you want to try Persian food
Food is amazing, BBQ right in front of you. Great variety, must try.
King of the King very very good food.
Foods is great but worst customer service. All the time. More than once and I think it s one of the owners. Always the older Persian men that are rude. Don t know how they do it where they come from but this isn t Iran, it s Canada. Start treating people with RESPECT especially if I m giving you my business!!!!!
The person/cook who answered the phone was very rude and should never ever answer the phone or even speak to a human let alone a dog. He was talking to me like hes too busy for me and in a condescending tone, must have been because I was speaking English after he answered the phone with salom. I know for a fact he wouldnt of talked the way he did if I came in person.
I used to buy my meat and other dry ingridience without asking how much they were then I found out he is over charging me. My last experience was a very old bag of rice that smelled horible. Even though its very close to me I have stopped going there.
Best kebab in town. Five stars and keep it up.
Best Koobideh with Rice in town. Don t forget to ask for Tahdig
Amazing service
Fantastic customer service and amazing food. Always a pleasure going here.
Best chicken kabob in the city!!!! Lamb shank is a winner as well. One try and you will be back again and again!!!!
Very nice people...good customer service and very high quality butchery...but they are close on Tuesdays ! No idea why?!?
