Darband Restaurant

Your « mahiche and sour cherry rice » were absolutely amazing, but even before the food, what truly stood out was your exceptional customer service. Even though your ordering time had ended, you still took our order, and we’re truly grateful for your kindness. The takeout package was very well-prepared, and you even included complimentary drinks and yogurt for us — such thoughtful touches! All of this made us feel genuinely appreciated as customers and made the experience so memorable. Unlike most of our experiences with Iranian restaurants in Toronto, you were simply outstanding. We’d love to come back again!

The food at Darband is amazing...so much so that we drove all the way from Montreal just to eat here.nWe first discovered this place in 2019, while visiting Toronto, then came back in 2022 when we came to see the Raptors...and now this time we were craving this food so we made a special trip just to have supper here.nSo many dishes , so many ways that they make rice taste so good.nOnce you try their food you'll be mesmerized by the aroma and taste...nTry the eggplant dishes, quite tasty.nThis place gets quite busy and is very popular, I only wish they had a bigger restaurant to accommodate everyone.nService is friendly, and quick. They are accommodating for vegetarians as the actual vegetarian options on the menu are somewhat limited.nIs it worth a 5 hour drive from Montreal, most definitely yes!

The best kallepache I’ve ever had. The tongue was perfectly cooked, and the whole brain, two eyes, and meat were incredibly tender. It was served with a flavorful bowl of broth, bread and lemon juice. The taste was truly authentic, everything was to the perfection. I’ll definitely be coming back on my next trip to Toronto. Highly recommend!

We ordered food from Darband Restaurant for our office birthday party, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish! The food arrived fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The variety and quality of the dishes impressed everyone, and the flavors were authentic and satisfying.

nnI ordered Ash Reshteh and Dizi from Darband Restaurant. The Ash Reshteh was tasty and comforting, but I was really disappointed with the Dizi. It didn’t resemble traditional Dizi — it was more like a mix of beans and lamb shank, and it was extremely spicy. Spicy food is really bad for me, especially since I was sick and needed something mild and traditional. I specifically chose Dizi expecting a soothing, authentic dish, not something heavily spiced. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback into account and sticks closer to the traditional recipe in the future.
