User Reviews
This wood-floored restaurant serves a menu of Persian specialties in an elegant dining room. This listing has been verified via Google Places with a rating of 4 stars based on 1880 customer reviews. Highly recommended for the Persian-speaking community in North York.
The kebabs were delicious and very tender. But, they were all served with basmati rice. At a $60 price point, I would have expected traditional Persian rice, at the very least. The décor was warm and cozy, but the tables were placed too close together, which made it hard to feel any sense of privacy.
We had a wonderful time enjoying delicious grilled food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were extremely polite and friendly, making everyone feel at home. Our Chinese guests truly appreciated the Iranian hospitality and cuisine, and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
This restaurant literally is comparable to a Michelin one in Persian food industry , the atmosphere and interior design, presenting the food and service, the impeccable taste of authentic Persian food are all in the highest elegance and rate …. Highly recommended if you look for a luxury experience that takes you to rich Ancient Iran culture & cuisine ✨👌🏼 we had barley soup, green salad, Shihlik, and saffron ice cream garnished with pistachio, our server was Nooshin, so nice, polite and professional .. 10/10 for this unforgettable experience 🌹💐
I had a wonderful experience at Darbar Restaurant! Their Nowrouz decorations were beautiful and added a festive touch to the ambiance. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the dining experience even better. I loved their unique drinks—both the Annar and Peach & Saffron were refreshing and flavorful. The Soltani was cooked to perfection, and their Tahdig was hands down the best I’ve had—crispy, golden, and absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for authentic Persian cuisine with a warm atmosphere, Darbar is definitely worth a visit!
Spend a family birthday at this restaurant 2nd time. All our guests enjoyed the food, specifically all the ordered meats (we tried every kind). Our favorite was definitely the kebabs. Service was exceptional, waiters were kind and attentive. The vibe of this restaurant is great too, great music and atmosphere. All our guests including the birthday person enjoyed their evening. As for improvement, I would suggest providing bigger portions for warm-choice appetizers, and adjusting the desserts - baklava didn’t taste fresh. Also some interior is a bit outdated, which is very visible - tables are scratched and paint comes off. In any case, expect to spend at least $100-150 per one person here as the little things add up. For example, the “Persian” tea pot was around $25, which we find is quite a lot.
Congratulation!
