No matter how much food your party orders, no matter how large your party is, you must adhere to this time limit rule. We ordered Koobideh Kebab (ground beef) and chicken leg kebab with rice. It was very well-flavoured with saffron basmati rice and a chargrilled tomato. It was all very delicious. Darband Restaurant has been one our family's preferred places to dine at over the years, especially when we are looking for decent quality Persian cuisine near the Don Mills area.

I came here around 1:30 pm on a Sunday and only a few tables were occupied. The service was really good and the food came out pretty fast.

I didn't expect Yonge street to have a happening persian restaurant, or anyplace I'd want to spend…read more3 hours, but we came in, enjoyed the live Persian music playing on a Saturday, and enjoyed a Persian feast. When I eat Persian food I like to think of eating in the way I did at my grandmother's house, with a bunch of different food on the table. I don't think I realized how hard this was to do until I tried to cook it myself, so going to a restaurant like Darvish makes this entirely possible in a way that is too hard at home! The Ghormeh Sabzi is good, and of course a must order, the Fesenjan very flavorful, and though I make mine with duck, that's okay. The kebabs are all good and flavorful, and every table has sumac on it because that's what you need to eat the kebabs! We had some Mast-o-Khyar, shirazi salad, and kashk-e-bademjan as a starter with some great barberi bread. Each appetizer was great, the persian beer with saffron was good, everything came together so well. The three hours flew by as we ate, drank, talked, and enjoyed every dish brought to use. By the end of the meal we were surprised at the time and excited for some tea and saffron ice cream. No Persian doesn't finish a meal with tea, so you must! I cannot wait to come back here, from Tahdig to Ghormeh SAbzi it's a hit, and from a price point it's a really good deal.

The setup is functional and somewhat cozy and seems like they cater mainly to the delivery crowd. Consistent flow of take out with a few people dining in. We shared an appetizer combo. The eggplant dip was very good. Hummus being decent with dolma being an acquired taste I feel. I didn't try the salad. I went for the combo of chicken and lamb kebab. I wish I had looked and chosen the bread and rice option as I can only eat this type of rice so much. The kebabs were very good with good quality meat and letting the meat shine with light seasoning. Service was courteous and they were accommodating as well for a person in a wheelchair. I enjoyed my meal and will return. They are somewhat close by and I do enjoy grilled food.

We were especially grateful to have a dedicated section for our group, which made the event feel even more intimate and special. We had a mix of kids and adults, and it was the perfect setting for everyone to relax and enjoy a memorable time together. Thank you, Gilaneh, for such a wonderful experience. We're already looking forward to coming back!

We went there to try their Chicken Tandoori, sheekh kebab on rice served with salad and naan, and Lamb shank with rice and salad. I personally liked the tandoori chicken and felt that the other grilled meat could have had more flavour, it seemed a bit dry. We also tried their lamb shank with rice and salad and the meat was very tender cooked in a tomato based gravy. Definitely better than the grilled meat. But it wasn't the food that stole the show; it was the ambiance and the sense of community that truly made the experience memorable. Sharing a meal here sitting on their beautifully decorated space during the holy month of Ramadan brought forth a different experience which is what made it special!

We've tried their juicy kebabs, fork-tender braised lamb shank and appetizers (momos and the creamy roasted eggplant dish) and everything tasted top notch. This small restaurant is run by a family and the service can be a little slow, but you can rest assured the food you will receive is well worth the wait. If you're coming in for the first time, they will enthusiastically recommend their specialty items with warm smiles. Complimentary tea served during our last visit was fragrant and really elevated our meal to the next level. I look forward to returning to try out more of their menu very soon.
