This restaurant is extremely affordable and delicious. The owner is very sweet -after we left the restaurant and were walking to the car, he came out with two desserts for us. It is a hidden gem for sure! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants an authentic Persian experience :)

This place is perfect! Best quality meat, almost identical to how my family would make it. Very clean restaurant, great portions, kind staff. I cannot express how excited I am that I can have properly seasoned and home made Persian food again. I am going back again, and again, and again. Merci!

Great food! This touch of Persia is tucked away just of Argyle Rd. I can't believe I've driven by it so often without trying it. The staff are very polite and gracious. The servings are very generous and the flavours in the good are wonderful. There is a feeling of home as you walk through the door. The smells from the kitchen makes you hungry and the good that is served is more than satisfying. I can't wait to come back and try another dish.
