Shamshiri Restaurant

In my opinion, this was one of the best Iranian food experiences in Toronto.nnThe food tasted amazing, the quality was excellent, and the portion sizes were very generous. The service was also professional and welcoming.nnAll dishes were served with salad and a drink, which was a really nice touch. We also ordered the Zeytoon Parvardeh separately, and it was delicious and high quality.nnYou can tell that proper standards are being followed and attention is given to details.nnThe only small thing I think could make it even better is adding a little onion or a few fresh basil leaves on the side to bring out that authentic Iranian kebab experience.nnOverall, we were very satisfied with everything. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this place to others.

This restaurant has a small space, but it’s cozy and charming that it actually makes you want to choose it for dining in. I’m sharing my experience with this specific branch. I ordered the koobideh kebab, which was fairly average in quality. We also had gheimeh, which was also quite average. The koobideh wrap was the same. However, the kashk-e bademjan was good and enjoyable. They also welcome you with a complimentary salad and a free soft drink.nnOverall, the food quality was average, but their customer service was excellent. They really care about their customers and listen carefully to any feedback or concerns. Even if something isn’t to your liking, they handle it with great respect and willingness to help. That’s something I really appreciated about this restaurant.

The portion of the food is massive : definitely can be shared especially the rice!nOnce you sit, they bring fresh garden salades, yogurt, and fresh bread no extra charge.nnThe waitresses are very attentive and polite. We ordered a family package dish that had three types of kebabs, a chicken leg skewer, a koobideh skewer and one skewer of barg, all were tasty and juicy. You can substitute chicken leg with breast as well.nnAlso the zeytoon parvardeh for side was absolutely delicious.

The portion size was absolutely unreal I came here just to grab a quick lunch for the office and somehow left carrying a bag of food big enough for a party. The portions are insanely generous.nThe kebab was very tasty — juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. I ordered pickup from the restaurant and waited around 10–12 minutes in the parking lot. There aren’t many parking spots, and the café itself is pretty small with only a couple of tables, but it has a cozy local vibe.nThe staff were super friendly and welcoming. I paid about 25 CAD and honestly felt like I got way more than I expected for the money. Very satisfied and would definitely come back.

We had a wonderful experience at Shamshiri Restaurant and consider it one of the top Persian places in the GTA.nnThe food was exceptionally delicious and rich in authentic flavour. I highly recommend trying the Kebab Torsh, Kashke Bademjoon, Jooje Kebab, and Baghali Polo with lamb shank, which were incredibly tasty and well-made.nnWe ordered for delivery, and everything arrived beautifully packaged, which kept the food fresh and enjoyable.nnWe also had the chance to visit in person; although the space isn’t very large, good food and friendly staff make up for it. Overall, a fantastic choice for Persian cuisine. Highly recommended!
