Taftan Kebab

Great food at very reasonable prices. Takeout with very limited space for eat-​in.

Delicious Iranian food which is kabobs and rice. The options are beef, lamb and chicken and several daily stews. I have never tried the stews but the kabobs are tasty. They are probably 1,000 calories of meat and fat (and then there is the rice), but it is so tasty. Everything is freshly done in front of you and they include salad and tomatoes.
Taftan is a take-​out place and very rundown, but the food is fast and delicious. If you want to dine at an Iranian restaurant try Shishlix across the road, but I have not been there in a while. They used to be good several years ago.
Taftan is not cheap either, but then again it is so tasty and they give you so much food.
favourite: Vaziri which is beef and chicken combo on rice.

Teftan is very good! I love the Koobideh and the chicken leg kabobs. They have very flavourful food with very good prices.

Fair prices, extensive and authentic menu, friendly and efficient service, tasty and high quality food. A great take-​away option for healthy, delicious and fresh Persian food.

This is a small place, which doesn’t accommodate dining in really well. I get take out from here sometimes. It’s pretty good. Not as pricey as some of the competitors in the area. They get pretty busy in the evenings, so even when i call in an order and show up 15 mins later, I still have to wait when i get there — other then that, i’m a fan and also a repeat customer.

Delicious Persian food. fast service, adequate portions, reasonable prices.
Free tah-​deeg.
Wish the store had some tables/​chairs instead of stools but we can’t have everything now can we !
Cheers

Just delicious! So glad they opened another location in Oak ridges, Amazing price for delicious kebobs or chicken with a few other traditional Persian dishes.

This is my favorite Iranian take out spot. it’s unfortunate that they do not cater for dine in. I come here quit frequently.. I have never had an issue wither food. they are quite good at what they do. they tend to get very busy during the evening hours so placing your order over the phone might be a better idea … koobedi kabob is the best with zerish rice also there sultani. .typing this message is making me hungry. lol

I have tried quite a few kabob houses in Richmond Hill and I had been frequenting a specific establishment over the years. Unfortunately my usual restaurant was closed tonight. I have no idea if it’s closed for good or just this evening and now it doesn’t really matter because my new favorite Persian restaurant is Taftan. I was referred to Taftan by a friend. The food was absolutely delicious! It was fresh, flavourful and cooked to perfection and the portion sizes were as I expected. I had the Vaziri and my friend had the Barg. Both meals were excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant. I know I will now be a regular customer!

Very tasty food but the experience was overall poor. Sometimes they charge more for some items especially if you do not know the place or if you do not know the language. The food is amazing but the staff can be very rude, I always order from them but even still the experience is often poor due to poor customer service. Their menu is also outdated because all of the prices changed (that is the excuse I get when I am charged more than the price listed)

Unbeatable traditional Persian kebobs. Just leave room ’cause the servings are big and delicious. This is not really a sit down place though. It is more of a togo place. There is some limited room for sitting and I would recommend you sit and eat the freshly cooked food there.

Best koobideh in Richmond Hill and they have over 6000 combos to choose from.
If your looking for good Persian food at a good price than this is the joint.

Good food from this place on my birthday. Food is really good but you have to make sure if order over the phone person who took your order confirmed it unless you speak Farsi I believe there would be no misunderstanding. Other than that service is good and as I mention food is fresh. Good luck!

This is recommended by is a friend that knows this kind of food. We ordered a lot for a big party. The chicken kebobs is a lot tender than those offered by Mevame. The beef kebobs, however, is unexpectedly minced beef. The rice is tasty. Although highly recommended by the friend, I found it to be average.

One of the best Persian take away restaurants in the city. Koobideh is great and the chicken isn’t under cooked like in a lot of other places I’ve tried. Well cooked and overall decently healthy. Looking forward to them including a brown rice option.

I asked for a special surprise on Valentine’s Day and I sure got what I asked for, although definitely not what I had in mind!
Located in a small strip mall beyond Laser Quest, the restaurant had very little sitting area, had the smell of freshly grilled meats fuming into the waiting area and was not very well decorated. We also waited a good 10 minutes for our food. Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY!
My husband’s idea of a wonderful date is good food and there is no doubt that this place serves high quality food. The herbs and spices used on the chicken and lamb kebobs were simple yet very flavorful. Generous portions of rice and vegetables were also served with our meal.
Given the freshness of the food (cooked over charcoal) and the portions given, I would say that prices were reasonable but not cheap, ranging about $ 10 – 15 dollars per plate.
Would definitely recommend to those who enjoy a good bite but it is certainly not a romantic place!

The Taftan Kabab’s Kabab Koobideh is one of the best among Persian restaurants in the whole GTA area. I have ordered twice for large parties (50+) and they delivered right on time with the best quality food imaginable.
My Wife and I also have this routine that we bug one Koobideh meal (plus one additional skew) for the two of us, and ask for «Tahdig» with the stew of the day. It is delicious, and for the price of around 12 bucks, worth much than any other food or fast food you can get.

This restaurant is one of the bests if you’re fan of persian food and kebab. The place is not appropriate for sitting with family and there’s limited seat, but the quality of the food is very good. It is more like a kitchen than restaurant, we always buy the food ‘to go’.

you know what?!
«unknown diamond» i think they making best chicken kebab in the world not kidding seriously, tasty and succulent !
It’s located at the northeast corner of Yonge and Weldrick. Enter the plaza off Weldrick to find it easier.
they have 16 combo choices for you but they always making just one of the «khoresht»
(i don’t know we have something like this in English) every day of week you can check by telephone what they have today?! including:
«Ghaimeh», «Ghorm-​e-​sabzi» (both my favorites)
«phesenjoon”(walnuts and chicken breast)
«karafs”(celery)
and chicken breast (you know that it’s not khoresht!)
as well with a salad (mediterranean style with feta/​olives/​etc) all with Persian rice served (I’m not sure about Persian it should named Pakistani or basmati or Indian or… what ever it is, its different with east Asian it’s not that much sticky like them longer and a little lighter).
kebabs such as:
Chencheh grilled beef
Mirfakhraee grilled beef
Koobideh (about this one its a little dry but it use to be succulent!) Joojeh Bakhtiari chicken (the top one)
Salari ground meat
Barg Kebab
Vaziri chicken kebab
Soultani beef

don’t forget to serve special Iranian drink with your food «doogh»
yogurt and water and a little salt and something else making that amazing ask of waiter about and that discover something new!
It’s more of a take out place with a couple counters and about 6 stools the same as pizza novas in Richmond Hill.
go and enjoy your Persian food!

I guess this place is popular for take-​out. when we got to Toronto, my cousin went to pick up dinner from here. I tried the soltani, some of the chicken kabab, and their salad and here’s what I think:
— you’re a Persian Restaurant, there is NO reason to justify you running out of mast-​o-​khiar or mast-​o-​mousir
— the barg part of the soltani was good, but I saw a few pieces on other people’s plates that were WAAAAAYYY too pink for me to even think about
— the chicken kabab was pretty good
— rice was dry
— Koobideh was dry, thin, and tasted too gamey for me (like cheap lamb almost)
— no bread? not even some lavash just thrown in under the kabab? r u guys new to this type of work or something?
— Salad dressing for a salad that accompanies a Persian meal should NOT be Italian dressing! What’s wrong with you people? common sense much?
I know there was at least 4 other places in the immediate area, so i’d expect them to step their game up, but I guess they don’t agree.
