Kababi

Koobideh Kebab

Seasoned ground beef and lamb pressed onto wide skewers and grilled until charred outside and just-cooked inside — the benchmark dish here and one of the best in Toronto

Jujeh Kebab

Saffron-and-lemon marinated chicken grilled on skewers, arriving with deep golden color and genuinely juicy flesh — not dried out like so many chicken kebabs

Barg Kebab

Thin-pounded beef tenderloin grilled quickly over high heat, tender and slightly smoky, best eaten immediately off the skewer

Chelow (Saffron Rice)

Perfectly steamed basmati with real saffron bloom, served with melted butter and a grilled tomato — the rice here is not an afterthought

Mast-o-Khiar

Thick strained yogurt with cucumber and dried mint — cooling counterpoint to the charcoal heat of the kebabs

Shirazi Salad

Finely diced cucumber, tomato, and onion dressed simply in lemon and olive oil — bright and clean against the richness of the kebabs
