I've been going to Taftan on Yonge at Churchill to satisfy my craving for Kabob Koobideh and Gormeh Sabzi. Their prices are great and all of the combos include rice and salad. They make the food fresh on a charcoal BBQ so it has that authentic flavour (not that I'd know being a white dude who's family has never set foot near Iran). They seem to appreciate my business and always are friendly despite being one of the few who order in English.
Ask for some "tadeeg" (crispy rice from the bottom of the pot) if you want to try an interesting Persian snack with your meal. It's free by request! -

Recommended?: Not really, unless, you want cheap and quick and you're close by.
I ordered the beef kabob and the chicken kabob and as a Persian I wasn't too thrilled. The kabobs were dry and the beef kabob was loaded with copious amount of bread crumbs and high fat ground meat. Everything in here is pretty much the definition of mediocrity. -

Sweet sassy molassy, this is some tasty food!
My friend brought me in here for dinner. They have a large range of food, all of which is cooked on a shish kebob. Combos are served with delicious rice and salad. We came in here on a Wednesday night, and it was busy as hell. The only drawback of the place is that there isn't much seating, and the seating they have is takeout style - high counters with bar stools - not very comfy. But the food is so good, it really doesn't matter. I would eat this stuff sitting on the sidewalk. I would eat it in a box, I would eat it with a fox.
On the counters are napkins, Italian salad dressing, sumac powder, lemon juice, and Frank's red hot sauce. I love to drown my salad in dressing, so I was pretty happy about this. One bite into my giant platter of food and I was in heaven. My mom has the exact same platters and we use them as serving dishes. There was easily two meals of food on this dish for me. At $13.50 taxes in, that's a bargain! I had the beef shish kebab and the... thing that's like ground meat. (combo 15). Everything was perfectly grilled.
I just know that I'm going to be craving this place for the next few weeks, so I'll definitely be back soon, with my wrap-loving Hubster in tow! -

I have known this place existed for a while but never came here for today. We wanted Persian food but something cheap. ("North" at Yonge and Steeles are good but expensive.)
This is a take out place but it has seating at the patio area, and inside it has seating along the wall.
All the combo has pictures on the wall, so it was very easy to order.
I had a grilled chicken breast with salad and rice (8.99) My friends ordered Koobideh (made of ground beef and spices) with salad and rice(7.99), and chicken leg kebab with salad and rice (7.99).
The food portion is so generous that I cannot finish the rice at all.
The waitress even gave us Two free side dish because they like us. Hehe. Overall the food is delicious and very bang for the buck. Definitely my type of restaurant!
