Sardab Restaurant

Great little restaurant. I’m the king of kabob and this place is like my Kingdom. Great friendly service and the food is great. Very fresh and home made.

Authencity of the dishes and traditional methods to cooking as well as eating (abgosht) not to mention friendly service with smiles all around make this a neighbourhood favourite of mine!!! must TRY it’s a hidden gem where quality meets homemade goodness tell em’ I sent you

Very tasty food, very friendly service.
The server helped us figure out what to order and explained everything on their small menu, and the chef joked with us while we were waiting. There is a big TV over the door playing Iranian (?) music videos.
The food was incredibly tasty (though I wish they had some greens we could get, other than the onion, radish and parsley garnish).
The place is a bit hidden, it’s on the side of the building, the street side, not the parking side.
Very limited seating and VERY casual, but a great vibe overall.

Based on the reviews, we popped in here for dinner after work on Thursday to check it out. I was a little surprised at how small the place is but it does seat approximately 16 people — albeit quite tightly!
The prices, compared to other Kebab shops in the area, are quite good. Koobideh for $ 6.99? I’m in! They also offer complimentary, self serve Persian tea! Yay!
The Koobideh itself was the juiciest I’ve ever had. Later, after talking with the owner, I learned that he only uses AAA Angus beef (with approximately 20% fat) which he grinds himself. You can definitely taste the difference. Everything, even the rice, was delicious!
Just a side note: They don’t accept credit cards — cash or debit only.

Sardab is located amongst what I like to designate as Kabab Alley.
A stretch of road between Finch and Steeles along the ever busy Yonge street.
I can never drive pass the area without smelling like a piece of succulent Meat.
Often you’ll see Smoke Signals as well from Outdoor Grills[Super Khorak].
Sardab a restaurant space facing a side street makes hungry minds curious.
Little cosy Patio and no English words on cuisine types/​styles makes you wonder.
Man inside the Patio sees us and gives us more motivation to join him inside.
Wander within shows pedestrian Persian Take-​out slash non-​fancy Dining.
The female of the Family run-​style welcomes us further as we look on Menu Wall.
Vaziri ($ 10.99) — Ground Beef & Chicken Leg
I pick up the Vaziri from the counter and the Lady tells me to sprinkle RED stuff.
She commented that it’s Healthy. Nice of her to keep my Health & Fitness in mind.
Somagh (powdered Sumac) as I later found out supposedly gives lemony flavours.
One look shows evidence that this is as Family-​style as it gets, typical routine.
The Meats are as good as I’ve had at various other Pars Food Joints in Toronto.
What makes this one stand-​out for me is the Tea offering at the back. 3.5’d
Self-​serve Tea free-​of-​charge makes this place more comforting than others.
Tea, the signal of an end to a pleasant Meal and beginning of good conversation.
As we sipped away relaxing, digesting, and thinking of our next destination ahead.
I do enjoy myself the Friendliness of the smaller family-​run Persian shops much more.

Is Sardab Restaurant another Kebab place just like one of the numerous in this area?
Vaziri ($ 10.99) — Ground Beef and Chicken Leg
Tender and Juicy Ground Beef! One of the best one I ever have! Chicken Leg is well flavoured with a nice hint of citrus! Portion is great to share or for my friend probably can just lick the plate clean!
And how about a cup of hot tea at the end of our meal?! That’s heavenly even on a hot afternoon…
Free parking can be a little tight as it is shared with other businesses in the plaza.
Maybe I should come back and try the lamb?
