Menu has so many different options but it doesn't fall far from grilled meat, rice, fresh salad, fries and warm puffy pita bread with hummus and tzatziki. Food was excellent. My husband went with the Sultan Kafta Plate Five patties served white rice, hummus, garlic, salad, fries, and one pita bread. While I went with the Beef Lamb Shawarma Plate Served with white rice, hummus, garlic, salad, fries, and one pita bread. I always get a tea here, because it is lovely and strong. Food came in a fast manner, and everything was fresh. My husband wasn't too thrilled with the spice profile of the Sultan Kafta plate, and probably won't get it again. He will probably stick with something with stronger notes like the Adana Kabab (my favourite). I enjoyed mine and the meat was plentiful. We are always too full to try dessert, but they look good in the display case. Service was friendly and prompt.

When I opened the box, there was a good portion of fries, salad, hummus, chicken, and rice. I dipped the pita into the hummus and it was smooth and delicious! The salad was fresh and flavourful. Both the hummus and salad would have me coming back. I had a few bites of the chicken and rice before I was too full to continue. I liked the chicken more than the beef, but it was good to try both. I can't wait to order again!

The lahmajun had fresh ingredients including meat, garlic and spices. It was simple but very tasty. The side salad was fresh and complimented everything well. The star of the show was the beyti kebab. It has a combination of minced lamb and beef rolled in flatbread with a red sauce on top. You can dip this in a side yogurt dip as well. There wasn't a lot of sauce but it was very flavorful. We really loved this dish and would love to go to the restaurant in person at some point to try out more dishes.

Red tea was nice and hot and the service was good. We also had the deep-fried eggplant and a phyllo pastry filled with spinach and feta (similar to spanakopita) as appetizers. Both were delicious. I would recommend this place but the rice that had the seasoning was much more flavourful than the plain rice so I would keep that in mind.

Really excellent Persian food. We stumbled on this in the west end when we were doing errands…read more We decided on the kabob platter for us. It came with Koobideh (Two skewers of Juicy ground beef kabab) , Chicken kabab Joojeh (Sineh) and grilled tomatoes. Served with 4 servings of saffron rice. It is made for 3-4 but we enjoy leftovers. Food was amazing! The rice was so fluffy! Appreciated all the raw sliced onions and the grilled tomatoes (however I could have used less char on them). They gave us two dips to try with pita bread - Zeytoon Parvardeh Brined olives mixed with crushed walnuts and rich pomegranate molasses, and Mast - o - Moosir - Creamy yogurt blended with shallots and garnished with dried mint. Both were so amazing and full of flavour. Our platter also came with pickled...I want to say cabbage which was so delicious with the meat. The meat itself was well cooked and full of favour. I preferred the beef to the chicken but both were delicious. I really wanted to try the saffron ice cream, which was a great end of the meal paired with some tea. The ice cream itself wasn't so sweet which I really appreciated. Our server was lovely and friendly and super helpful. It looses a star because it was cold - both in esthetics and in temperature. I would love to see some more Persian décor to make dining more of a trip. We will be back again because there are many things on the menu that I would like to try.

They were both delicious but the samosas were particularly good, and the fries they were with were also fantastic, hot and crispy. The restaurant was sadly empty with all the seating put away due to the shut down, but the proprietor was very carefully checking vaccine status of everyone who came by, even to pick up food. He was very sad about the pandemic; sounds as if they're really struggling, and have lost a lot of money during all the shut downs. I recommend giving this place a try and supporting a local business if you're in the mood for samosas or similar!

This visit back in the summer was no different. Maybe because it was an early Tuesday evening? No clue. I love what they've done to the front as there's now a couple tables outside to sit and enjoy the food. I kind of wish that this faced the back of the building instead of the front where all you get to see is the endless amount of cars zooming by but that's beside the point. It's awesome to be able to sit outside now. The menu's have got a nice upgrade since my original visit. Love how there's an accompanied picture for each dish. - Spinach boulany ($9.95) - whole wheat crust stuffed with spinach and spices. Pan fried and served with yogurt and dry mint. These could have been a bit more crispy but the inside was flavourful and nicely stuffed with spinach. - Kebab platter ($39.99) - a mixed variety of skewers of chicken, beef and seekh kebabs. Two patties of chaplee kebab and three pieces of chicken legs marinated with herbs and special spices. Comes with a small rice and fries. The description fails to mention it also comes with a side of salad AND samosa's. Huge amount of food. Come hungry, really hungry. I believe the kebab platter (regularly $45.95) is on special Monday and Tuesday, which is an incredibly good deal. What can I say about the kebab platter that I haven't said before? Delicious, aromatic rice. Crispy fries worth eating. Meat on meat on meat. Seriously, you'll be carnivored out by the time you finish with this platter. My only wish is that they gave more of the accompanied sauces, but you can always ask for more. - Fresh fruit - we wanted to try their baghlava but they were out for the day. Our waiter/the owner was the nicest guy and brought out some fresh fruit and a dessert instead (almost like a custard/rice pudding). A nice mix of pineapple, grapes and honeydew. The honeydew wasn't ripen enough but c'est la vie. Next time you're in Chinatown and looking for a new place to eat, give ACK a go. Delicious.
