Every time I go to a Middle Eastern restaurant, I find myself ordering koobideh. I have ordered…read moreSultani 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.

Hands down, the best Persian kebab in Toronto. They have a…read moresecret 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.

Daily soup was a chicken vegetable soup which was decent. Small was $5 bucks (the $2.99 price on…read morethe wall was old) & large was $10. Even small was not small. Lamb shank was good, tender & tasty. It was not large but was only $20. Dill rice was decent. Salary: Chicken breast & kobideh were exceptonally moist & tender. Both were tasty especially the chicken. There was a decent char, which was better on the chicken. Rice was free (ie a huge portion). There was not much saffron rice (nowadays this is standard). It was fluffy but had no burnt bits. It was great value. Both were served with a small salad, which was good, with zesty dressing & fresh vegetables.

The restaurant is VERY STRICT with adhering to a TIME LIMIT for seating…read more Signs on the table say: "We request you limit your sit in time to 45 minutes from the time you receive your order on the table." 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.

The soup that came with all the meals was good - even the kids loved it. The different kababs were all delicious, and you could tell that it was fresh. The building itself could use an updating / a refresh, but if that was the only thing to complain about, they're doing pretty good, I think! I would definitely come back next time we're in the area. I wish we had a Persian restaurant this good in Birmingham. Even better if it was in Trussville!

I eat the koobideh here all the time and it's some of the best around the neighbourhood.read more

We dined at Simurgh on a Saturday night by accident. We hadn't made any reservations anywhere and…read moreevery place we tried was completely booked. We happened upon Simurgh and decided to give it a try. We were a little skeptical because there was only one other table at 7pm. There was also only one person working and she spoke very little English. It took her a bit of time to give us menus because she was bringing out food to another table and since there was nobody else working, it took some time to get menus. We debated walking out but are so glad we decided to stay. I actually pulled up google translate on my phone to communicate. It worked great! The food was EXCELLENT! We had beef, veal and chicken kabobs, crispy rice, some kind of yummy dip/appetizer and a cucumber and tomato salad. Oh, and a huge ice cream for dessert! Everything was delicious and tasted homemade. The service was very friendly and the restaurant was clean and pretty. We will definitely be back. Our server who is also the manager said they do a lot of take out and we saw a few people come in and pick up orders while we dined. If you like Persian food and can get past the language barrier you will love this restaurant!

Absolutely ridiculous…read more So this place is close to my place of work & the only persian place around to deliver , so we usually would order from here despite the ridiculously high pricing for very mediocre food in decent packaging. Theres an older woman who answers the phone when you call, she used to be somewhat friendly years ago. I called yesterday to order for delivery, they state no delivery today. Okay... Order for pickup. I told her my order. In the end , im like can u please tell me the total so we can give money to the guy picking it up? She, with a tremendous amount of attitude as if shes in disbelief goes 'NO?!!' Im like pardon me? Shes like huni, im VERY busy, you expect me to go all the way to the cash to tell u the price total?!? No. Its around 40-50. Thanks bye ..... first of all. Thats YOUR JOB. Im paying you/giving u business. So that nonesense was that . We sent this persian guy who looks white to pick up the food. He walked in earlier than expected , and asked if the foods ready.. this lady continues to give him shit for coming early . THEN PROCEEDS TO TALK SMACK ABOUT HIM IN FARSI IN FRONT OF HIM not knowing hes persian! Saying 'this guy thinks its his aunts store or something he wants to walk in and walk out right away ' & was caught im disbelief when he responded to her in farsi, saying my entire family orders from here and gives you business despite your stupid pricing for half decent food , & you want to treat me this way? Lol okay. You couldve simply said itll be another 5 minutes. Last time i asked them to put extra sauce on my salad , they sent me a BOTTLE of minoo dressing and charged me $4 for it... Get a grip . Never ordering from this shit again NOT RECOMMENDED

It is a large place and the bread is baked on the premises. The bread alone makes this a 4 Star. In the morning it is tantalizing fresh, and has a great 'hot bread aroma'. When this is combined with the double cream bulgarian feta that they sell for less than about $ 6.00/lbs., and few olives you have the making of a great breakfast. On one of their promotions they gave away pergamot preserve. This is the fruit that is used to flavour Earl Grey Tea, and it is delicious. I have become a fan, and its great over plain yogurt or ice cream. An interesting and varied place with fantastic Persian Bread.
