Review from A V.
Toronto, ON

Based on the address, I think this place now goes by the name "Tanoor."
A friend saw it profiled on Street Eats so we decided to make the long trek up there and check it out. We weren't disappointed. We went in the middle of the week and there weren't too many other patrons there, which was fine with me. The atmosphere of the place is great. We weren't quite sure how to order, but the lady who was serving us was very helpful, if not always entirely comprehensible. We ended up ordering the Dizi, which is a stew that comes with flat bread and soup. You crush up the stew yourself, fold some into some flat bread, dip it in the soup and eat. Yeah, it's a lot of work, but that's half the fun. And it tasted delicious.
Afterward we smoked a hookah in the front room, which was quite enjoyable, but not something I would make a habit of -- I'd like to keep my remaining alveoli intact. Nevertheless it was very enjoyable and relaxing.
Overall a very nice experience and highly recommended. Reasonable price also. It's just a bit of a jog to get up there. -

Another local Persian place that has been passed around a few owners.
The old-style coffeehouse feel of Patogh is somewhat unique, and the extensive menu which includes a large list of specialty appetizers (specially marinated olives, garlic and shallot yogurt), tea, stews and kabobs adds to the appeal.
There is a Hookah corner which is thankfully cut off from the rest of the restaurant (not sure if it is still functional), and most importantly there is usually live Persian music. Some nights are dedicated to covers of Persian pop classics but at least one or two nights a week are dedicated to traditional Persian music. This is a rarity in Persian establishments in North America, and I think the owners deserve some credit for trying to retain a traditional coffeehouse culture that is dying even in Iran.
