As well-travelled as we may be, there really are some experiences that seem like we haven't encountered before. We ordered Kingston Iranian Food with moderate expectations and were left with a disappointing, discouraging mess. The Chicken Kabab smelt of egg, the Barg kabab was certainly old, the Fesirjan was just begging for zest and flavor. The Badamjan was nutty and smooth, the Lamb Shank was well cooked and the Hummus tasted storemade which was nice to see. Perhaps what was more shocking than the Iranian items were the Angus burgers, which were not "Angus" in the slightest; they were seemingly outsourced to Double Double which uses commercialized meat product that's no more meat than it is fairydust. Though we felt robbed of even a decent food experience with Kingston Iranian and don't fancy Iranian food very often, we felt the people of Kingston are the ones truly being robbed of a true Iranian food offering.

Great hand-made Iranian food. Amazing service and great taste. We enjoyed the kif kebob platter and barbary bread a lot. Everything was fresh, warm and delicious. We also ordered kashk e bademjan, fesenjan stew and also lamb shank. They were tasty as well. As visitors in Kingston, the owner helped us a lot recommending places to visit and even we could leave some of our stuff there during our visit. Highly recommend the restaurant.

Used to Toronyo style anddqualitybof Iranian cooking as we often go visit and get treated to Persian cuisine. We were very pleasantly surprised as we gave our Server very specfic instructions. We wanted a Persian dish that was tasty but would not bother our sensitive stomachs but was not bland. She asked if we would like a combo chicken and beef dish with Saffron Rice we could shaŕ. Excellent choice as the rice wasvperfectly prepared with a golden broen debonenedvchickennpieces and rolled beef inntraditional Persian spices. It was easyvto share and a perfect lunch dish.

Ive been eating iranian food for many years but i came across the worst place ever in my life it was the worst place i ever ate. The meat smelled very bad and chicken it tasted like it was old meets it wasnt fresh at all, it was old meats and warmed up, other then this they charged me 15$ service fees for nothing for 4 people table they got 160$ . I do not consider anyone this place hygiene was not clean and dirty dirty utensils, i should of knewn this due to no customers. I wish i had nothing rather then this food.

I ordered a burger and it was awful: startimg from the buns.. I would find better quality in any walmart. The patty is dry probably frozen and no tast to it. The lettuce dont look like the freshest lettuce there. Fries... well also the worst quality frozen premade fries. Also No kechup with the burger.. seems like the owner is triyng to save money but looks like he is loosing his business. Don't go cheap on ingrediants.

I'd avoid this place at all costs. Ordered koobideh and it was old, like chewing a tire. The tomato was half cooked and the rice was unlike that of other iranian restaurants, in a bad way. This was made worse by the fact that the price was almost $20 for one tiny plate, which is more expensive than some higher end iranian places in Toronto. On top of this the service was bad, the woman/owner was extremely rude the whole encounter.

Called ahead to order and only one plate was ready. Two shawarma plates, one with salad and one just rice. The meat portion was rather skimpy as was the salad, the rice was perfect. One was as ordered and the other had zero sauces making for a rather boring meal. For almost $20 a plate I expected a little more.

The food is great, especially for halal options! But the one thing I always have problems with is the slimy lettuce always on the chicken burger I order. Each time I request it not be put on and almost everytime it's there. Ot absolutely ruins my appetite because it is slimy lettuce! Tried to contact the store directly to resolve the problem with no acknowledgment so I decided to post here.

It was my first time and definitely the last time eating here. I ordered fried chicken, the quality was awful and I couldn’t finish my meal. I could clearly taste that the chicken was not freshly cooked. The only reason I might back at this place is to get a refund. Don’t waste your time and money.

We ordered to pick up for several of the selection of Persian dishes. Barbari bread was made fresh and delicious! All of the dishes were super flavourful and the Ash soup was so great I finished it before I got on the highway:) Portions were extremely generous and fairly priced. The owners are lovely and really passionate about their food will definitely stop round again!

I ordered off of door dash and my lawd, everything was to perfection. I ate a few items too fast to actually take a photo. Everything is clearly house made fresh, I couldn’t have asked for more especially the barbay bread. Also as a vegetarian I’m thrilled, wouldn’t recommend the ash reshteh only because it’s chicken based(broth) but my husband ADORED it ☺️

DISGUSTING!!! I am Arabic and I love arabic food. I ordered the chicken Kebab it was awful. No seasoning to the chicken it tasted like it was just barely cooked (still smelled like eggs) white rice no flavor and a half roasted tomato and butter on the side. complete waste of money, do not go here expecting good cuisine.

I ordered on Uber and everything was great. The hummus and shirazi salad were fresh and amazingly tasty. The barbari was also very fresh, still warm. It was huge! I was very impressed with the amount that I received for the price.

I just wasted 30$. I ordered chicken wings and chicken breast kabob rice . Chicken wings was okayish; however, chicken kabob and rice was poor quality. I had one bite of chicken and it smelled very bad . Rice was bland no flavour. I don’t think I will ever come back again .

This was the horrible place ever I don’t even know how the place is running probably does the safety food certificate. But the food was disgusting wasn’t fresh at all, had bad taste into the food I highly don’t recommend this place at all worst place you could ever go to and waste your money into.

I was there with my family. The food has blant taste. Without informing us they charged 10% dining charges. The wings were tasteless with our any sauce. The vazeri was over cooked. The charged 30$ for wazeeri which was 1 kebab and boneless meat. I won't recommend any one.

I'm from Toronto and I was visiting Kingston for the night. I am Iranian and the food was so amazing!!!! It felt like it was home from away from home. Great service and good food. Would definitely come back here the next time I'm in town! Thank you!

Was a delicious chicken shawarma sandwich served with a beautiful smile. I hope to come back and get more a different dates. The prices were fair and consistent with what I would expect.

Food quality and flavor is acceptable (5-6 out of 10). The restaurant is not clean. Tables are dirty. It seems no one wipes down the tables. I dined in a couple of times and food crumbs were on the table. The customer service is not good.

We ordered the kif kebob platter, barbary bread and the barg kebab. Everything was fresh, warm and delicious. Highly recommend the restaurant.

Fessenjoon was bland and watery. Would expect more pomegranate flavour and walnut texture for the price. Rice had a light sprinkling of saffron. I would not order the fessenjoon again.

Food is okay and price is decent. Nothing amazing but a decent choice for something quick EDIT. Lowered my original star rating. Ordered from them recently and got raw chicken.

The best fresh barbari bread and FRESH home made hummus in town!!!!! I highly suggest that for appetizer and to take home! Along with their rice and kabob!!!

Amazing hand-made Iranian food. Amazing service and great taste. The place is homie and very welcoming. Absolutely amazing :) worth the trip!!!

Great rose in the desert! Authentic Iranian tasting food with very healthy serving. Go for chicken Vaziri and you can never go wrong.

Best halal place in town for pizza and wings and kabab everything you want

Food is ok but pricey and the portion is really poor.the money you spend food portion is not worthy at all.

I tried a variety of food here and they were all amazing. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended.

I got fish and chips here, took it home, opened it up and looked... and tossed it out. It looked so gross

Great tasting food - even if it throws you back a little since it shares space with a pizza joint..

They have a best kebab in Kingston. We like them and always we make a order from Iranian food.

Best food & service. I love it so much

Somewhat bland but quantity was good. Expected some salad or more flavourful rice for price.

I tried the kabab and rice here and it’s tasteless. The only good thing here is their bread.

Excellent!
