Uncle Reza's Sangak Bread

Fantastic service. The owner was amiable. She was very kind to us. The bread is very traditional and so yummy. I love how they are freshly baked and don't have any preservatives. I am only visiting Toronto, but If I lived here, I would buy from this store every day. Best Sangak forever.

The best Sangak bread that I have ever had. And a very nice lady runs the store. Lots of my Canadian friends are in love with her Sangak.

Sangak bread is good when it is hot but after just 1 hour the quality of bread depreciate. After 3 hours it was impossible to eat sangak it was elastic and hard to eat. I put some water on it and put it in the fridge to see if I can help my stomach to be able to digest it.

They have one of the beat Sangak in GTA, but whenever I go there, either they are arguing with each other or behave like customers are bothering them. I would rate their bread 4.5/5 and their customer appreciation 1/5

A taste of Iran in Richmond Hill: I’ve been meaning to get to this review; in short, my husband and I were in Toronto Oct 2018, driving through from Niagara, to specifically try Uncle Reza’s sangak bread Iranian whole wheat leavened flatbread. Apparently, this bread dates back past the 11th century. My husband, Iraqi but born in Iran, has been going on about sangak bread since I can remember. He has always wanted to have me try it here in Canada but we could never find it until now. We discovered Uncle Reza’s, through a friend, and we were not disappointed. As we approached the bakery, we could smell the aroma of fresh bread and toasted sesame seeds in the air. To start the owners were charming. We met Farah at the front desk. A lovely warm smile with a lingering Iranian accent she was animated and incredibly welcoming. As we introduced ourselves and began to ask about the bread Farah was eager to show us the process. Looking through their observation window we could see the authentic bread as it came out through the oven. The traditional sangak hung on the walls as though they were garments at a laundromat. The bread is huge and covered with bumps much like the original bread, in Iran, baked over hot stones. My husband said, when he was young, he would get it fresh off the stones at his local baker. He would then have to use a coin to pop out the residual stones from the bread that were inevitably embedded. It was all part of the delightful process of eating this incredible bread. In fact I should note that the word ‘sangak’ translates to stones or stony At Uncle Reza’s they have a huge oven that rolls out the pelted bread. What a unique experience it all was; moreover the bread was delicious, chewy, not tough, and crispy along the edges, etched with poppy seeds and toasted sesame. Fresh and flavourful, we were handed 3 breads laid out on paper. We rolled it up like wallpaper to fit our bag. This is truly quality bread, made with caring expert hands, at the price you’d pay for a sliced loaf at your nearby grocer. I would be there, weekly, if I lived in Toronto. From beginning to end we enjoyed meeting these beautiful people, their entertaining origin story, viewing the process and ultimately eating their incredible bread. What a fantastic drive back to Ottawa as we got to enjoy tea with a classic Iranian sugar cube tucked in our cheek and authentic sangak bread. I highly recommend this wonderful little niche-bread-place in Richmond Hill. It’s like stepping into a bakery back in Iran!

This place is the one you don’t regret it , quality of Bread is phenomenal . Their costumer service is also good , we have been shop here since they opened , keep up with good quality well done ,

I had the pleasure of trying the traditional Persian bread made by Uncle Reza, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The bread had an authentic taste and aroma, unlike anything I have ever had before. The texture was perfect - soft and fluffy on the inside with a perfectly crisp crust on the outside. It was obvious that the bread was made with care and attention to detail, using only the finest ingredients. I highly recommend Uncle Reza bread to anyone looking for a delicious, traditional Persian experience.

They have the best”Sangak bread” I know! Hard working group to make the perfect Persian bread!

Perfect Sangak and super nice staff .. the weekend kale pache is also great and we loved it

Sangak is good, better than some others in the area. But, what really bothers me is the older gentleman who works there - he had such a nasty attitude and was very unkind to his female staff members and was criticizing them in front of customers. The women were visibly humiliated. I cannot support that. Zan zendegi Azadi... even here.
