    Lovely place to eat. I had not tried much Persian food before so this was a new experience. The waitresses were so kind and enthusiastic in explaining the menu options. The kabob plate was enough for two people with a side salad to share. I loved the rice and the additional tomato to mix in. The outside of the restaurant is beautiful and it is in a nice square with brick buildings-looks great if you want to take some photos.

    This place is the first place I've ever tried Persian food and I'm glad my Persian friends brought my here! The atmosphere of the restaurant was very family oriented, and the servers were super sweet. We were brought up to the 2nd floor seating which was super cute and there were lots of strings lights up there. As it was my first time trying Persian food we went all out: with drinks I tried Doogh which was very different from what I usually drink. If you like yogurt drinks then this is the drink for you! Next we had Rayhoon Trio Sampler as an appetizer to share and I found all three of the drips to be super delicious: Maust-o-Khiar, Kashkeh Bademjoon and Zeytoon Parvardeh All three dips was very unique and delicious. For my main I had the Lamb Shank with Baghali Polo which was amazing and really filling! I was so full I didn't have room for dessert!

    It was my first time visiting Burlington and my friends and I were looking for a dinner place. We searched on Yelp and saw that this place has good reviews. We didn't have to wait long to get a table on the patio. The waitress was friendly, nice, and taught us how to eat out food the traditional way - which is cutting the roasted tomato into pieces and mixing it with the rice and butter, and eat it with the fork (not the spoon). However, when we were done with our food and wanted to pay, the waitress was nowhere to be seen, and others did not look in our direction either. We waited for a good 10mins before my friend had to go inside and ask, and we waited for another 5-10mins to be able to finally pay for our food - it was 8.30pm and it wasn't that busy. My cousin and I ordered half of the Lamb Chenjeh Kabob as we were not very hungry. The rice along with butter, tomato and chunks of lamb were AMAZING!! We also ordered Faloodeh and Baklava as desserts. Baklava was not bad, Faloodeh was okay - it is served with lemon juice and a berry sauce. I find their meal a little overpriced despite being yummy, the meal prices range between $15 and $34. Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Price: 3/5

    We tried out this patio as we have young kids and don't feel comfortable dining inside. The food was delicious and arrived hot and fresh. The atmosphere was quite nice as well. We substituted the saffron rice for the dill rice and for our son we substituted the saffron rice for fries. The tri dip sampler was also good! We paid extra for the bread but I don't think we will do that next time as the complimentary pita was pretty good too. Portions were quite decent.

    The stellar Vaziri Kabob. One skewer of chicken (Joojeh) & one skewer of ground beef brisket (Koobideh).

    It's as authentic, as it can get. First discovered it last year in the summer, and we've been coming here ever since. Not only is the ambience and the food incredible, but you'll always find it very welcoming. Locally-owned business, so you're bound to run into the owner, who happens to be the nicest person you will ever meet. Try to make a reservation, since they're usually busy on the weekend. There's a nice little patio outside in the summers, and if anything you MUST try there Akhbar Mashti (Ice cream), you'll thank me later for it.

It started as a little restaurant in 1984 in small, underground hideaway in Waterloo, Ontario. This is yet another new location, with a grand opening on 2024-11-30; that is when we went there. There was quite a party atmosphere with loud music playing. The founder was also there, and we even caught him dancing! They had the same menu as in all other Shawarma Royale location. We just tried their Queen Chicken Wrap ($11.99) for only $4.99 (grand-opening special). It was delicious. It is located in a very small plaza, just north of downtown Burlington. In the same building, Shawarma Royale is on one side and Pinochio is on the other, with indoor seating in the middle. As with other locations, it is an open kitchen so you can see them preparing your food. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom. There is free parking in the plaza's parking lot. Review 2025-017

    Serious Customer Service Complaint…read more I visited La Luna Downtown to order a falafel sandwich, but unfortunately had a very uncomfortable experience. The employee asked me several times what I wanted, served the customer behind me first, and made me feel dismissed and unwelcome. After my order was finally taken, I was standing near the Wi-Fi sign when the employee accused me of looking at another customer. I explained that I was looking at the Wi-Fi sign and had not approached or bothered anyone. I am asking the owner/manager to review the security-camera footage, identify the employee involved, and investigate what happened. Customers deserve to be treated with basic courtesy, professionalism, and respect. I hope management takes this complaint seriously and addresses the situation appropriately. Very disappointing experience -- 1/5 stars.

It had a great blend of vegetables, herbs and spices including: peppers, tomato, lemon juice, mint, oregano, sumac, and a fantastic tangy salad dressing. I added the shish tawook kabok onto the salad to add extra protein and I really enjoyed the lemon flavour. The entire salad was bursting with flavour and a dish I would travel back to Hamilton to purchase. Would I go back? Absolutely!
