    Platter

    Nothing beats getting a spread on platter with great company. Amazing tahdig and koobideh. Hits right every time. Lots of juices, lots of vegetables.

    Lovely variety of grilled meat and veg plus wonderful rice! So much so be sure to bring your appetite.

    Went there recently with my sisters for a sister's dinner and it was amazing! Well worth the visit - food was delicious and very well presented. Staff was very friendly and always smiling. Traditional Persian tea was perfect finale to the meal. Decor was comfortable and lots of banquettes for groups. Best to reserve ahead as gets very busy.

    The restaurant's bold sign lights up their name in a plaza I sometimes pass by, and it always catches my attention. I was running some errands at Staples in the same plaza and decided to pick up takeout here. We ordered online through their site in advance, and it came to $75 (including tax) for takeout for two (Platter two), which is kinda steep. However, we were surprised at the amount of food, two huge trays! One tray was filled with meat, the other with rice, and there were some sort of pickled elements on the side. It easily could have fed four people, even though it was labeled for two! They included some butter and small pouches, though we weren't sure what the butter was for since they didn't give us any bread, so we mixed it into the rice. I'm not sure if the staff knew I was picking it up for myself or thought I was a delivery driver but I think it would've been nice if she added a personal touch, ask whether it's our first time (it is) and tells us how to best enjoy the condiments and also warn us about the spicy peppers. At first, we didn't use the pouches because we thought they were tea bags, but it turned out, after finishing our first meal (we ate this over a few days), that it was sumac spice. We definitely should have used it earlier to add more depth and flavour. The reason for the three-star review is that the roasted pepper was so spicy. We thought it was a sweet pepper at first, but it's NOT! It turned out to be incredibly hot. They gave us so much of it, almost like it was a vegetable side, but it was pure heat with little flavour, which really caught us off guard. The website's ordering system didn't have much description of the dish beyond a picture, so the spicy peppers really threw off our palate. We ended up breaking out some yogurt from the fridge to cool down. So definitely order yogurt to enjoy with your dish! If you're not too familiar with their food, it's probably best to try it for the first time by dining in. The restaurant interior emits a purple glow with wine bottles lining the walls. Not quite my taste but certainly a unique vibe.

    A wonderful and most exquisite experience! Based on a (local) friend's recommendation, my wife and I came to Deedar for dinner on Monday night. We were warmly greeted by a staff lady named Molouk, who attentively looked after us throughout our stay at the restaurant. The ambiance was very pleasant, modern decoration tastefully pulled together. The food was delicious! The portions were generous. The quality of ingredients was first class! And the presentation outstanding! By the way, did I tell you the food was delicious...? We had appetizers (Kashk-e Bademjan and Zeytoon-Parvardeh), house salad, Chelo Kabob Koobideh and Chelo Kabob Shahani. We will certainly come back with more friends. Again a big "Thank You" to Molouk and the rest of the staff for their warm hospitality on a very cold Toronto winter night.

    Came here due to high review. Close proximity (10min drive) is an added bonus. Place was nice. Suitable to book a party with dance floor. It also has nice 'darkish' ambience (just like a party room). Food was GREAT! 3 of us share platter#3 (meant for 4-5ppl). Barg, torsh, chicken breast, koobidah along with basmati rice. The top of the rice is crusted with saffron seasoning? It give nice crispy texture overall. Big portion! (I think it can serve 6ppl instead). Meat is Flavorful. Nothing dry or tough/hard. Cooked perfect. Only torsh is not matching our pallate (3 of us agree). It has pomegranate sauce which is quite sour. Overall it was flavorful food and we'll be back to try other menu (already have a plan on what to order). Check it out!

    So tasty and delicious big plate so reasonable price good service by guy Name Hamid I am first time really satisfied

    Party platter with koobideh, Filet barg, sweet fillet (Northern recipe) saffron chicken.

    Absolutely delicious with perfect service for our family's wedding take over. Our server was very charming and the restaurant accommodated us with excellent service. The tea the sweets and the appetizers especially the olives were incredible recipes. So much more true to traditional Persian cuisine from the Northern Province in Iran. I would fly out for this food. Incredible.

    I love the food at this place! Pretty clean restaurant and nice decor. One of the few Persian restaurants that actually serves Persian food the way it should be and tastes just like the authentic Persian food as in Iran and sometimes even better! I personally love their Kabab Torsh (pomegranate sauce on filet mignon kebab that's so tasty) with their crispy basmati saffron rice! Compliments to the chef! Their salads, yogurts, house made bread and appetizers like Kashke Bademjoon (grilled eggplant in yogurt sauce) is fantastic as well! Would always recommend this place to friends and colleagues! 5 stars *****

    Excellent foods and fun ambiance! The servers are very kind and attentive here. The food is hands down some of the best Persian dishes we have ever had. I read a few people didn't love the pomegranate sauce but I absolutely loved the tangy and sweet flavour. Everything was so delightful and you can see all these wonderful families hosting parties and dinners here. Felt amazing, food was delicious and definitely generous in portion sizes.

My partner and I shared the tavuk pirzola (chicken dark meat served with bulgar, tomato, pepper, and onion) as well as the mantarli karsali pide (mushroom and melted cheese). The latter came out very quickly and hot and was so delicious. I think that was my most favourite dish I ate. It also came with green peppers that were pickled which was quite bitter and salty. The chicken was charred very nicely but did not have that much flavour. I still enjoyed it with the side dishes. At the end of our dinner, we also got complimentary Turkish tea which was very nice of them. I only had a sip as I didn't want too much caffeine at night. Service was excellent. Washrooms could be cleaner. Would recommend otherwise.

    I've been to Jumbo Lobster a few times for dinner and have truly enjoyed every visit!!…read more First impression as soon as you walk in - this place is impressively grand. Plenty of seating for different sized groups, and the walls are lined with either wine, cuts of meat or tanks filled with various sea creatures. For dinner, we always have to order the lobster and steak combo. The steak has consistently been a flavourful medium rare (to our preference) and there is so much meat from these lobsters! I can't pick which way I like the lobster cooked more - steamed or wok fried.. both are delicious. For additional dishes, you can't go wrong with the short beef ribs and the pea shoots with king oyster mushrooms are a great option if you're trying to add veggies to a meat-heavy meal. The service staff are always on top of it. They are always coming around to make sure we have enough water at the table and food came out so quickly. I can't wait to come back again soon!

When we arrived, he insisted that we did not have a reservation even after we showed our confirmation, and, instead of apologizing for what appeared to be the restaurant's booking system error, he tried to lecture us about how certain reservation websites do not allow large-group bookings. Rather than taking responsibility or working professionally toward a solution, his attitude was rude, dismissive, and completely inappropriate. Fortunately, the lady working with him was kind, professional, and genuinely tried to explain the situation and find a way to accommodate us. She deserves recognition for her efforts. Our group was in town for an eight-day conference with more than 3,000 attendees. Because of this experience, this restaurant has unfortunately been added to the "not recommended" list for this annual event. When restaurants host business travelers, the way guests are treated matters just as much as the quality of the food. Unprofessional treatment of customers and business partners can damage relationships and cost businesses significant opportunities. To anyone considering this restaurant: the food is excellent, but if you're planning an important business dinner or any special occasion, be aware that the wrong interaction at the front desk could ruin your evening. Great food alone cannot make up for poor management and unprofessional customer service.

We ordered the seafood platter and it came loaded with fried chicken strips, shrimp, fish, and more. You really do not see portions like this anymore for the price. The highlights for me were definitely the chicken and fish. Considering this is a quick service restaurant, I was surprised at how good it was. The inside was moist and juicy while the batter stayed crispy and crunchy. Service was also very friendly, and although the food took around 10 minutes, it made sense because everything was made to order. There are only a few seats inside which is pretty typical for this kind of spot, but there is lots of parking which makes it easy to visit. Definitely worth checking out if you want big portions, solid fried food, and great value.

The place is easy to find and ambience of the restaurant is quite easy going. Most importantly, it is neat and clean. Upon entering we were greeted warmly by Arin at the counter. However when I told him I was visiting as part of Yelt Elite, he was confused. I guess he has just started working here, nevertheless he was professional and reached out to Harmeet (Chef) in the kitchen, who immediately took charge and took my order. We ordered the Deluxe seafood platter (spicy) which came with 2 hush puppies, 2 stuffed crab shells, 6 butterfly shrimps, 2 fish fillets along with 2 sides( we got corn and fries) The 2 hush puppies were hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were quite delicious. I was quite excited about the 2 Stuffed crabs, but they were a huge let down.It felt too doughy with almost next to none of crab in the filling. The fries were hot and crispy and the fish fillet were quite delicious, with the outside batter covering being crispy and inside being soft and moist. We had ordered the spicy version, but it wasn't spicy at all. The 6 butterfly shrimp were best of the lot. They were delicious all the way through. The corn was hot but for some reason it was too chewy. We had to give it a pass. We also ordered the Supremely Sampler, which is simlar to the seafood platter but here instead of 2 stuffed crab shells you get 2 chicken tenders. And let me say, the 2 chicken tenders were wonderful. Infact they were better than all the seafood we tried. They were crunchy, moist and flavorful.. To foodies: If you can travel, and love seafood, especially butterfly shrimp, hush puppies and Fish fillets, do give this a try. The staff is welcoming and kind, which I believe is the best part. It is definitely a good place to visit and try the food atleast once. To management: You have a wonderful staff. However the food falls a bit flat and below expectations. The spicy versions aren't spicy at all. The Stuffed Crab needs a complete recipe makeover. The Chicken is pretty good but you being a seafood restaurant, the seafood items needs to stand out. Also, pls reconsider the location. Right now tucked far away in the corner. Overall rating: 6.7/10 Signing off Rahul V.S. aka CanIndian Foodie

But when Toronto…read moreLife hosted a special TL Insider dinner ($225 per person, inclusive of taxes and gratuities), curiosity won out. The prices listed below reflect the regular menu, though portions at the event were likely smaller than standard service. The evening began with a beef skewer ($31), featuring cubes of barbecued beef glazed in teriyaki and topped with plenty of chives. Unfortunately, consistency was an issue. Other guests raved about how tender theirs were, while mine arrived overcooked. It wasn't inedible, but it certainly wasn't tender. One of the restaurant's newer additions is its aged fish program, so I was eager to try the dry-aged salmon ($33). Listed as a "crudo," I expected delicate slices in a citrusy sauce, but it arrived as another skewer. The texture was undeniably smooth, with the dry aging removing any chewiness, but the salmon also developed a gaminess that lingered unpleasantly. A marinade or thinner slicing might help balance things out. I'm glad their signature Caesar salad ($24) remains excellent. It's beautifully balanced with acidity, savouriness, and thoughtful touches like buttery breadcrumbs and bacon bits that aren't rock hard. It's still one of the better Caesars in the city, though tableside preparation now costs an additional $10. Fans of tartare will likely appreciate the beef tartare ($41), which is prepared traditionally with minimally dressed hand-cut beef. Personally, I wanted more contrast in texture or flavour, though tartare has never been my go-to dish. I did appreciate the accompaniments of buttery crostini and gem lettuce leaves, which offered a lighter way to enjoy it. And for fans like me, don't worry their cheese bread puffs still make an appearance (along with their take home chocolate muffins). What continues to shine at Jacobs is the steak itself. The 40-day dry aged striploin was cooked beautifully, developing a crust that locked in the juices while maintaining tenderness despite being a leaner cut. The seasoning is more restrained, which allowed the volcanic sea salt and chimichurri on the side to actually enhance the beef rather than overwhelm it. The pecorino broccolini ($22) had me almost finishing off the plate and is such a nice accompaniment with the rich beef. The only disappointment was the duck fat fries ($21), which arrived lukewarm and slightly stale, likely a casualty of serving a packed dining room. Dessert ended the evening on a high note. The crème brulee ($21) was fantastic with visible vanilla bean specks throughout the silky custard. The sugar topping was thin and delicate, avoiding that overly sweet crunch some versions suffer from. Served alongside a sizeable chocolate biscotti and a fragrant orange shortbread cookie, it's easily large enough to share. With the expanded dining room, the front-of-house team has clearly grown as well. The staff is younger and fresher-faced, so any old-school steakhouse stuffiness has largely disappeared. More importantly, the service remains polished and attentive, and we were well taken care of throughout the evening.
