Tavoos specializes in Iranian cuisine, and it is absolutely delicious. We ordered the double cream and honey, mirza ghasemi with a side of Barbary bread, and mushroom herb nargesi. We absolutely loved dipping the Barbary bread in the mirza ghasemi and double cream and honey, as it was the perfect mix of sweet and savoury. The flavours of the dishes are unreal, making Tavoos a standout brunch spot compared to your standard American diner.
This was a somewhat a planned visit as this place has very limited hours. I have enjoyed their sister restaurant and was looking forward to this visit. I tried to call in to reserve a spot but alas no one picks up the phone!? Ah well I was running errands in the area so didn't mind if there was a wait. I was seated a larger table first but was asked to move to a smaller table when a larger group showed up. It's fine as there were only two of us. After a bit of deliberating we settled on the haloomi with eggs and beef tongue dish. The food was brought over promptly. Hmm both dishes didn't fare well. The beef tongue was devoid of taste with forgettable bland sauce and ok side. The halloomi eggs dish is average as well apparently. I can't recommend this spot for brunch.
Persian girls fly to Toronto from Miami and we had to check out this Persian inspired breakfast / brunch spot. If it isn't for the fresh noon barbarri to the chai, it has to be for the cute Persian accessories all through the restaurant. We waited around 10-15 minutes for a table on a Saturday. We wanted to try it all but most of us ordered the sossis eggs, Haleem, or paneer eggs. Everything was so tasty! It's so nice to go to a Persian restaurant because often times you find things on the menu that your Maman and baba never made since they didn't grow up eating it! 10/10 would come back here!
If one person from your pair/group arrives early, they can put their name down using chalk and write their name down on the numbered waiting list. I've only been here on a Sunday for brunch and the restaurant is bustling. Food: I ordered the guisavah with sunnyside up eggs sautéed along side dried dates, dried apricots and walnuts. This breakfast plate was sweet and savoury. There is a good mix of dry, moist, crunch and chewy elements. My friends enjoyed the bandari, a weekend special with spicy halal sausages sautéed with potatoes in a tomato garlic sauce. Service & atmosphere: Lively and the staff are informative and helpful. Price: I felt full after my meal and everything tasted delicious. Persian breakfast is not common in Toronto so I found everything well priced! Their only one expensive dish is $18.95, everything else is under $16!
This restaurant specializes in Persian breakfast / brunch and tends to get busy right after opening time - so it's best to get there early. The interior decoration is beautiful, adorned with Persian patterns, and there are 2 carpeted seating areas to get a true "eating Persian style" feel. The food is super delicious! There are different combinations of eggs that you can have - with halloumi cheese, spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. They also have some specials such as soups. I highy recommend getting the sweet and savoury "khorma ardeh" (dates stuffed with walnuts and ginger, drizzled with tahini). We ordered: - Paneer Boroshteh (scrambled eggs cooked with fresh halloumi cheese & garlic, topped with nigella seeds, and served with Barbari bread (Iranian flatbread), feta cheese, smoked salmon, marinated olives, grape tomatoes, fresh greens, potatoes & lentils purée) - Spinach Narguesi (sunny-side-up eggs cooked over a bed of fresh sautéed spinach, topped with crispy onions, and served with Barbari bread (Iranian flatbread), feta cheese, marinated olives, grape tomatoes, potatoes & lentils purée) - Khorma Ardeh (dates stuffed with walnuts & ginger, drizzled with ardeh / tahini) - Persian Chai Tea
I like the ambiance here. The food is average. For example Panir boroshte doesn't really taste authentic. The tea is amazing. Also the staff is not friendly. They're too serious.
Came by Takht-e Tavoos on a Saturday around noon with a party of 4. Although the restaurant was busy, we did not have to wait for a table. Once seated, the waitress provided us with menus and water. Once we had all made up our minds about our orders, food shortly arrived after that. I ordered a weekend special (I don't quite remember what it's called) with eggplant in a tomato paste, 2 fried eggs, and rice. The others ordered what I believe is called the bandari and we all shared a chai tea. Don't be fooled by the pictures you see online, the portions were big and filling! I had trouble finishing my dish even though everything was delicious. Overall, great casual atmosphere to catch up with friends over brunch with friendly and attentive service.
Takht-e Tavoos was my first foray into Persian cuisine. I've become a fan ever since! With that said, Tavoos' focus is on Persian breakfast including eggs, salads and stews. For those looking for Persian dinner fare, including rice and kabobs, I would suggest looking at their sister restaurants Sheherzade and Pomegranate. Tavoos is a cute little restaurant located at College and Dufferin in the Brockton Village area. The interior is nicely decorated with ceramic vases, paintings and ceramic tile giving the restaurant an intimate feel. The Kashk-e Badenjaan is a must try. It's a sauteed eggplant dish mixed with mint, whey and caramelized onion. Think baba ganoush on steroids. It might be my favorite dip ever and Tavoos does it great. For $7.95, it's a good sized dish and a great appetizer. We also ordered the Maast o Khiar which is a yogurt dish consisting of cucumbers, walnuts, raisins, mint and rose petals. It's a cool, palate-cleansing dish that is refreshing on a hot day, You must be a fan of yogurt to enjoy the dish though, but it does go nicely with the Barbari bread. Finally for our main, we shared the Dizi Sangi which was a lamb stew cooked with chickpeas, white beans, potato, onion and tomatoes. This is the a truly unique dish consisting of two parts: strained broth and stew. The interesting part is that the dish comes with a mortar and pestle used to puree the stew so that it can be served on the flatbread. It's actually a lot of work to eat the dish, but it's worthwhile, as the product is complex and flavorful. It's also kind of fun and makes the meal experience more memorable. Overall, Tavoos is an excellent Persian restaurant with some unique menu items I have never seen before. This speaks volumes about its authenticity. I also like how they focus on Persian breakfast foods in particular. I am definitely planning to return for another meal.
Beautifully decorated restaurant (I'm a turquoise fan). The food was delicious, can't order the wrong dish. Presentation/plating was elegant, and you can tell that attention to detail is a key value in their concept. That lamb stew dish is heavy, but delicious (can probably be shared by two people).
Wow! If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. This is a cute little restaurant with attentive, sweet and fabulous staff and astounding food. We walked in on a sunny Saturday morning and the restaurant was very busy. Yet, we were seated within minutes and the servers were super nice, patient and sweet. We ordered the Gulsavah and holy smokes. It was delicious. Two perfectly cooked sunny side up eggsin butter with loads of dates, apricots, nuts and other dried fruits. There was a side of creamy, warm feta and a lentil dish. The food was iconic, fresh and bursting with layers of flavour. My mouth waters thinking about it! We also got the Dizi Sangi which was had a lamb stew with beans in a cute clay pot that you could pound into a paste. There was also a soupy broth of lamb that you could dip your bread into. This was extraordinary. The lamb was cooked to perfection, the broth was thick, flavourful and so comforting. Amazing! We finished our meal with a firni which I said reminded me of home. Topped with berries, nuts and cardamoms, the firni was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. This place has stolen our hearts and is quiet possibly our new favourite brunch spot! :)
Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars, but in the end I had to trust my gut and go with 3. The good: We had No wait time to be seated. The bad: Once sat, we waited almost ten minutes for menus. The good: Food portions and prices were good. The bad: They accidentally gave me mackerel (usually an extra $3.50), and instead of just leaving it, they took my plate away and removed the mackerel, even after asking me if I just wanted to keep it. The good: The Persian chai tea was yummy and warm. The bad: No spoons to stir in the sugar. Tea tastes like rose tea, so the name is A bit misleading The halloumi cheese was really salty. Eggs cooked very well. Service not friendly (towards us). I'd go back, but I'd NEVER wait, so maybe not worth the risk.
Went here on my second trip to Toronto, and it is my favorite place to eat in this city, hands down. Our party of 5 sat at a really unique seating area, where we sat on beautiful rugs with our food and teas in the center. The food is incredible -- we ordered a variety of dishes to share, and none of them disappointed. It was such a great atmosphere, and we had a wonderful time brunching here. Definitely get the chai tea, goes great with the food. The spinach narguesi and paneer boroshteh are very similar, and I would recommend the latter because the halloumi cheese is just so good! I got the smoked salmon, but I recommend just skipping it -- you get such a small portion. The beets in yogurt sauce was unexpectedly delicious, and the olives they serve with every dish were mind blowing!! I know it sounds strange, but they are an explosion of flavor. We also got an eggplant dish that was on the specials, which I would highly recommend if they have it again.

The GTA has a lot of Persian restaurants; and there are a lot of brunch restaurants; but Takht-e Tavoos is the only one I know that does Persian breakfast and brunch. The hours are very limited, and it's a relatively small restaurant. We had the haleem and Shist Andaz; both were generous portions, very flavourful, and really great as a sharing breakfast. Definitely a different brunch experience, and one of the best brunch menus I have had in Toronto. Definitely a restaurant to come back to. read more

Our friend recommended this place down the street from his house for a Sunday morning breakfast. We were seated right away in a small private back room. Our server was so enthusiastic, it was nearly contagious and brightened up our day. I got the Sossis Tokhm-e Morgh - sunny-side-up eggs with sausage - and the Persian chai. It was all delicious and so filling. read more

I love this place. It's so authentic! The service was very friendly and the food was so well prepared and different from what you would expect... I had the eggplant dish with 2 eggs and rice both time I was there because it was delicious but I will try something different next time and let you guys know :) read more
Wow! Came here for brunch today and it was over the top delicious. Got there around 12:30 and had to wait 15 minutes for a table, totally worth the wait! My partner and I each got the daily brunch special. The portions were enormous and we barely finished what was on our plate (they were $14 and $16 respectively). We also shared a pot of chai tea ($4). I forget the names but see photos below. One was eggs with rice and a bunch of sides, and the other was eggs with potatoes and sausage. The decorations inside were lovely. The servers were quite friendly and service was very fast. Also very clear washrooms - but they are downstairs so not accessible! I can't wait to try their other restaurant, Pomegranate! read more
Somehow I wound up inside this little Persian nook on a drizzly November day and entrusted the fate of my stomach to the kitchen and recommendation of the hostess. I am now in fact entrusting the hostess with all my future life decisions. The restaurant interior is nothing fancy, but pleasant and inviting. As you sit down with the menu and after placing an order, you'll have time to admire the unique Iranian relics and tiling, and if you're lucky, you might even be comfortably nested amongst the pillows in the traditional dining area. Be charmed by soothing Persian tones over the speakers. Arriving close to opening time on a weekday is a good bet if you don't like to wait, as there were only three parties (including myself) enjoying our meals. It being a cold, rainy, early winter morning in Toronto, the hostess recommended the Haleem (my other choice, Guisaveh, was also vouched for but ultimately vetoed). I got mine with a small side of Yogurt (topped with rose petals and cardamom). Anyone who is a fan of conjee, gruel, porridge, and the like should prepare to have their taste buds collectively explode. The top layer of Haleem is a sweet, buttery, cinnamon-spiced membrane, but just beneath is a savory concoction of oh-so-tender lamb and barley. I noted some salt and pepper as well as a large bowl of sugar on each table, so it seems like spice-layering is common practice. It was several bites in when I remembered that I also had two pieces of Barbari bread, which are good by themselves or dipped quickly into the Haleem. The bowl was big - I don't think I could have finished such a hearty meal without the tartness of the yogurt to cut the rich Haleem. I practically skipped across the street to the TTC stop after paying - no excuses if you don't have a car. No complaints from me or my stomach, and I certainly left feeling like no amount of gloomy weather could stop me from enjoying the rest of my day. read more
This Persian brunch place is a must-try! A sister restaurant of Pomegranate, it's a different take on your typical brunch. It is halal so gave me the opportunity to finally try sausages with my eggs, which is only a weekend special, but it was deliciously seasoned served with roasted potatoes, and red lentils. May be a 45-50 minute wait on weekends but totally worth it. Definitely recommend it! read more

OMG where do I start!! My first Persian experience!!!! It was absolutely divine!! Lot of the items were hard to pronounce and I made notes on my phone before I went so I knew what I needed to order. The gentleman working there was calm, graceful, and so nice to even teach me how to pronounce them! First off, for this much labor and love that goes into making this food, it should cost more. If dizi sangi was served in NYC, it would probably go for at least $28. The kashk-e badenjaan ($7.95), sautéed and mashed eggplant w/ Persian whey, walnuts, caramelized onion was like eating silky panties drizzled with liquid gold. The flatbread was so fresh and good I wanted to cry sesame seeds. And it came warm inside a basket covered in Persian cloth napkin with tassels on them!!!!! Tassels!!!! Oh, c'mon!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh (For those of you that never ate at Byblos on Duncan St, their $11 organic house lebneh also comes with barbari bread which is to DIEEEE for, just sayin) My friend ordered the kalleh pacheh ($15.95), soup made with sheep's head and hooves with flatbread. Because, c'mon folks. Where and when are you ever gonna have chance to try sheep's face and feet???? He ate that soup up like his life depended on it. Of course, I had to order the dizi sangi ($14.50) and omg, it's a HUGE portion! And it comes with pickled puréed vegetables, yogurt, and more flatbread. I'm glad I didn't order the yogurt app because I got to taste some with this dish and it was heavenly. Thick, luscious, and tangy, you'll be saying Greek what?? Chobani, Oikos who?? The stewed lamb, chickpeas, and potato is strained (broth served separately) and it comes in a beautiful mortar and you take the pestle and smoosh everything together to spread it onto the flatbread. I thought the interactiveness of this dish alone was worth ordering. After couple of times of pestling, I just ate the chunks of meat straight out of the mortar. Just shoved everything into my mouth. Mmm! Meaty goodness!!!! The lovely Persian chai tea, I believe came with our meal. The tea kettle was authentic, Persian, and hand painted. Ugh, can this get any better!!! They had 2 Persian rugged flat beds (no cushions unfortunately) that you can sit on instead of a table, the entire experience was amazing and so memorable. And it only costed us $46 bones. If you can get your butt over here, you must at once. It's one of those flavors that'll stay with you for a life time. read more
Omg. Omg. Omg. BEST BRUNCH EVARRRR. Ok so now that I got that off my chest, time for the deets. Husband I went for brunch/lunch on a Saturday around 1pm. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes for a table. The place was PACKED. The decor was beautiful - chandeliers, Persian poetry lining the wall, and lots of blue, turquoise and topaz all around. Service was a little slow, but there were only three girls serving (what it seemed like) 100 people, so they get a pass. They were super nice and had a smile throughout each one of our conversations. The food of choice for me was Dizi Sangi. It was incredibly delicious! It was perfect for a breezy fall day. The broth warms your soul. The flatbread is fluffy and a perfect compliment to the meat/potato/bean purée. The condiments are fantastic even with the bread on its own. My husband had the egg + tomato braised sausage and absolutely loved it as well. We got a pot of Persian tea - SO WORTH IT! Cannot wait to go again! And I'm bringing all my favorite people in the world because it's just that awesome. read more

Great ambiance and delicious food! The menu has a few unique dishes and some familiar brunch items. Although, the food itself looks and tastes traditional. It does not serve generic Persian dishes. For instance, I had the Paneer dish which has marinated olives which are so delicious and I have never tried before. I saved those for last! If you're looking for a nice sit down restaurant where you can catch up with friends and family, while enjoying a variety of flavour pairings, this is a definite go-to. I know I will be back to try more of the menu. read more

This place is great! The food is well priced and very authentic. I've been here twice for brunch and both meals were great experiences. The names of the dishes are hard to remember, but I would recommend the eggplant starter dish if you want an appetizer. My girlfriend likes tomatoes so she is into their tomato dish. Their olives and cheeses are tasty and fresh. I would recommend to anybody who can appreciate good Persian food. read more
Persian food for brunch at Takhte-Tavoos...a brilliant idea. We went there as a big group and tried many different dishes from the menu. I had the kaleh-pacheh and it was perfect. The tongue was not lamb though, it was beef. Kaleh-pacheh is a persian delicacy but not everyone might like it. It is a stew with lamb organs. They do have other non-exotic and vegetarian dishes as well and they are all very good. Similar to the other locations by the owners (Anar and Shahrzad), the decoration and atmosphere is very nice and cozy and the staff is very friendly. If you have never had Persian food before, you won't be disappointed. Would definitely go there again. Food: 4.5/5 Atmosphere and service: 4.5/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4.5/5 read more

If you are looking for a break from traditional breakfast, this is your place. I like their decor and all the traditional art, but the seating is kinda cramped, if you are lukcy you may get to sit on the takht and have an even more traditional experience. Now the food here is creative to say the least, some people might even find it weird. I love eggs and i love dates, so i had the eggs date breakfast, and I was left wondering why has nobody thought of this before? SOOO GOOOD! it goes perfectly together, and there some cheese on the side to balance the overpowering sweetness of dates (I drool as i write). My friend got a dizi, there is a certain way to eat it and the server walks you through it. It is interesting to it, tasty, but extremely heavy!! The guy beside our table warned us that this is sleep inducing, and he wasn't wrong, ran for a coffee right after that. Don't miss out on the tea they serve, very flavourful and authentic persian tea, could use some of that to get the food settled down. Service: our server was nice, but there is only two of them and the place is very busy on weekends, need more servers. Have a good persian morning. read more

Search this place out. It's not that hard to find but its more than worth it. We went for brunch on a Saturday and arrived about 10:30am. By the time we had eaten the line up was outside the door. So I'd recommend going earlier if you are going on a weekend. I had eggs over spicy lamb sausage with halumi and Barbary bread. The flavours were fresh and crisp. My daughter had eggs over halumi. Both dishes looked brilliant and tasted fresh. After our brunch we headed to the Aga Khan museum so I felt that my brunch was the perfect starter. read more

I love myself a good brunch place but I was tired of the same ordeal for breakfast. This place definitely is not your standard eggs and bacon type place. Tavoos is a small Persian restaurant on college, past Dufferin. I went on Sunday morning right when it opened, and I am glad I did not sleep in. The place gets crowded very quickly. I got the Guisavah, which has two sunny side up eggs with dates and walnuts. The combination was superb. It is so simple yet so good! I love sweet and savoury. I found that the bread that was served was not warm. If you ask for more bread, they give a basket of warm bread and that made all the difference! It was a satisfying and filling brunch that was reasonably priced. The food included either persian chai tea or coffee. And there are refills! If you love brunch, you gotta check out this place! read more
