Every time I go to a Middle Eastern restaurant, I find myself ordering koobideh. I have ordered Sultani in the past, but I have never had a good one so I have never ordered it here either as it tends to be more expensive than the other meals and dry. But I may try it at Persian Top Meal after dining here a few times now. I have tried their koobideh and their chicken koobideh as they had Koobideh Mix (beef and chicken koobideh) on their menu. I love how they flavor their koobideh and how tender/juicy it is. I was VERY hesitant in trying their chicken koobideh as I've never had it before and because I know their beef koobideh is amazing but I was so glad to try them out. At the end of the meal, it was hard to decide which one I liked more. They were both amazing. The service was also prompt and the vibe of the place was relaxing, making it easy for anyone to visit the place. read more

Hands down, the best Persian kebab in Toronto. They have a secret that nobody else can replicate. However, for this very reason, the kebab must be eaten fresh in the restaurant. I absolutely would not recommend takeout or delivery. Essential Dining Tips * Skip the rice: The traditional serving is perfect as is. You only need the kebab and the delicious bread underneath it. * Must try: Their Ghormeh Sabzi is deeply comforting and tastes exactly like home. The Masto Mosir is also excellent, featuring a light garlic balance that won't ruin the rest of your day. Unbeatable Hospitality Beyond the food, the customer service is warm, friendly, and truly homey. The staff makes sure you are well taken care of, making this a restaurant you'll want to revisit often. read more

Absolutely fantastic food! I had a combo kabob with perfect rice and salad. The manager was wonderful- service was very fast. Food was freshly prepared and some of the best I've had since Tehran. This is a small place, I was there on a quiet weeknight but just an ideal spot. The next time I return to Toronto I will be back. Sepasgozaram! read more

The food was great. The staff very helpful and accommodating. The place is small but not uncomfortable.

First time trying this restaurant, for take out. The portions are good size and food quality/prep is really good. Friendly staff too. We had the Vaziri Breast and extra skewer. read more

Great Persian food run by a family business, great service, kind people. I Recommend it

This was across from the hotel I was staying at and caught my eye. I wasn't disappointed. It's a warm and friendly family run business. The food was amazing. It was so good that I went 2 nights in a row. First I had the Soltani and then the lamb shank. The taste, quality and portions blew me away. The read more

We first noticed this hidden gem on Mother's Day after lunch at Baton Rouge. This unit has changed owners a couple of times over the last couple of years and the current name is not far off from the previous, but they assured us, that they are new owners. As part of my heritage, this is my comfort food! Last week my craving hit, so hubby stopped by on his way home from work. He ordered 2 Vaziri (1 skewer of chicken kebob & 1 skewer of ground beef koobideh kebob) and a large salad. The kebob was insanely good! Seasoned & cooked so well, rice was almost as delicious as my mom's (shhhh don't tell her i said that, lol! They tossed in 2 free cans of coke. Also, my hubby was offered complimentary soup while he waited - which he loved! Great family owned business, the owners are very warm & hospitable. I love that they offer party package meals - perfect for family get togethers etc. I was worried that the food wouldn't be warm, but even with a 20 min drive to Markham everything was still warm! Pricing is fare because you are getting good quality beef. chicken & rice and a generous portion. If you want to pay less for this kind of food, i'm sorry but you will get what you pay for and i assure you, you wont be getting good quality food when the price is cheap. Dinner was around 40 Looking forward to another visit and happy to have a place to pick up larger meals for family get togethers because there are no Persian restaurants in Markham. read more

I don't write about anything but Korean Fried chicken; however, I had to make an exception to write a review for this gem called Persian Top Meal in hopes they will never close down this business! DEVOURED: Koobideh Mix- one skewer of ground beef + one skewer of chicken breast on a bed of basmati rice. Side of salad and complimentary soup. $12.99. Absolutely delicious! Inside the box came with a seasoning powder and some butter for the rice and meats. So juicy and charred to perfection. EXTRAS: Takeout and dine in options. I was sitting down waiting for my takeout when the man behind the counter handed me a small bowl of soup. What followed was me sitting there in awe over the delicious soup I wish I knew the name of. It was lightly seasoned but packed with flavor. The soup was probably given to patrons while he made the rest of the meal. Absolutely generous of him, as it was delicious. VERDICT: I decided to write this as I know restaurants are hard to maintain and to keep open without the business. It saddens me when Insta-worthy places with mediocre food do better than businesses that actually dedicate solid work to their services. Because I went at an off time at around 3:30PM, I don't know how well this place does during lunch hours but I hope it's packed and thriving with office people in the surrounding buildings. Persian Top Meal certainly deserves it. RETURNING OR NAW: Most definitely will return. read more

This spot is still open during lockdown doing great takeout. The essentials are still on the menu and still just as tasty! Be sure to support local during this lockdown as we want these family owned businesses to be around once the pandemic is over. We picked up a chicken kebab, beef, rice and their extraordinary white sauce and plated it at home for a delicious and nutritious meal. read more

Outstanding service, great food, easy place to find, park, and enjoy. Loved their staff and how welcoming they werea must try of a place!! read more

I've had take-out a few times now from Perisian Top Meal. Twice now, my chicken was undercooked. The koobideh they make is really good - jut a bit over seasoned with pepper. Rice is not the greatest, i felt it was over cooked and under seasoned (needs a hint of salt and butter). I was also surprised that they close so early on Friday & Saturday evenings. No website, so nearly impossible to find their hours of operation. Food - 2 stars Overall experience - 3 (service was good) read more

I don't know how I missed this place after being in the vicinity over the past year. This place is a wonderful family run restaurant with amazing Perisan cuisine...hands down. I love supporting local businesses and this place did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in through the door to the time we finished our meal, it was top notch service all around!!! If you haven't been, make this a must on your list of places to try! I can definitely guarantee that my family and I will be back soon!!! read more

I had beef tenderloin w half salad half rice,my husband had the lamb shank.Cooked to perfection ,huge portions. All homemade dressings and basmati rice with saffron was terrific. The couple who own the restaurant were lovely , we were served soup and dates and Persian tea for dessert. Would absolutely recommend and will return again when we return to this area. read more
