Darband Restaurant in Toronto

The kababs are very good and delicious but the restaurant looks dirty especially the glasses need to be clean really. they need some kind shade provider , so much sun shine on after noon.

Loved the atmosphere. It was absolutely packed for lunch on a Sunday and people kept coming. It is clearly a popular Iranian joint. While I always love eating in packed places because it gives the impression that the food is SO good, perhaps the kitchen was overwhelmed by the constant stream of patrons...We were disappointed that our chicken breast kabob was not properly cooked. It was undercooked on the inside, so we ended up leaving half of it on the plate to avoid any potential illness. My partner also found that the spicing of the ground meat kabob could have been tastier. I would go back but perhaps when it's not so busy. Hopefully some improvement is made to proper cook time of all dishes when the house is packed.

Was recommended by a friend to be the best Persian restaurant in North America. Maybe a bit of overstatement, but food is quite good regardless. Place was busy when we visited. The best thing is it's open 24 hours.

My all time favorite. Never disappointed. Always fresh.

I went there for dinner with friends. Food was delicious and great healthy option. Staff were nice and provided the great services.

Great prices and a good place to eat very famjly like feel.

Amazing, authentic Persian restaurant. Please is really busy, which is usually a good sign. Enjoyed a nice starter with eggplant and onions, and continued with rice and lamb shank. Everything was delicious, however, the portions are enough to share between several people.The place was packed with Persians, which speaks for the place. Absolutely will go back!

Delicious food, good prices and recently improved service makes it a nice place to enjoy Iranian food day and night. Highly recommend

Delicious and authentically Persian judging by prevalence of persians in the crowd Looks like a cheap eatery so it’s mostly for a really good food and family business atmosphere. Not for a fancy outing but for a pure culinary enjoyment Surprisingly no coffee which makes Persians the only nation in the Middle East who doesn’t consume coffee on the hourly basis

The quality of food is on a par with the one you can have inside of Iran. Perfect Iranian cuisine. The staffs were helpful and smiling. The price is fair, Between 9 to 15$ for main food. They almost covered every famous Iranian food in their menu. What else do you need to visit this 24-hour restaurant?

One of the best Persian Kabob and rice place especially you can go any time, 24/7.

Amazing food! I've been here a couple of times already and will surely go back for more.

We were there at 9 pm during a long weekend for our first visit. We didn’t have reservation but they kindly offered us a table despite it was a busy night. I liked their sense of helpfulness and the way they tried to have us, especially because we had a guest with us and we really wanted to eat there. The food was big and delicious. The cutlery was clean. The staff were kind. The atmosphere was cosy and comfortable. We will definitely come back. I recommend booking your table well in advance during weekends.

Amazing small, cozy and delicious restaurant. Open 24 hours a day! Chicken and Barg (steak) were very juicy and tender. Cut and cooked to perfectly melt in your mouth. Great experience and excellent service! I found my new go to spot!

Delicious, melt-off-the-bone lamb is served at Darband.My husband and I came to this cozy restaurant on a Saturday night at peak time. It was packed and we waited 25 mins to be seated. We just walked around until the host called us.We both ordered the lamb neck (I can't remember the name). The portions are HUGE. 2-3 people can eat one platter. We didn't know this and ordered two of the lamb necks as entrees. We ended taking one whole platter home for leftovers.The food was so flavourful. The servers were quick with our order. We had a nice time here. We are definitely coming back!

Great food, Great restaurant with good staff, thanks Darband

Great late night spot after going out for a night on the town. Had their ground beef kabob with rice as well as a few side dishes. Service is fast and friendly. Food is tasty and a great meal after going out.

Great place to have good food, although the wait time was just over 30 mins, but it was worth it. An expansion of the space would be great since the restaurant is really tight. Great quality food though. Service was good, there was a lady that was super nice and attentive.

Ordered my food on the phone and picked up and paid for contactless and from behind the glass. Food quality is also great. There are 2 doors however which you need to open to enter. Better to have a tissue with yourself to open the doors as almost every one has to touch those door handles to get their food.

We ordered this tonight for "Canada Take out" via Door Dash. It came very quickly and was still hot. The quantity of food was enormous. It was EXCELLENT food. Would highly recommend

First time coming to this place and it kept my friend very happy. We really like the taste of your food and there is plenty to share. This place is 24h!

The food is great in terms of price and taste as well as portion only thing I don’t like as much is the chicken that they use it does not taste fresh it tastes like left over chicken. Other than that the food is good.

The serving size is giant. I was not able to finish it. Well cooked and tasty food. Service is really good.

Great food and great service. The measures they have taken for COVID is really good.

My regular go-to place specially for late night food cravings! The staff is humble and helps you order. The food is great and the meat is flavorful and juicy!!

Hey Darband,For my UberEats koobideh order, you only sent me 1 skewer instead of 2. You also didn't include rice and tomato. It'd be great if you send me at least the other skewer.Thanks,

Been coming here for many years. Food is always great. Service has improved. Well priced and amazing quality. Hope that one day they expand their restaurant as the seating is very limited. Overall, it's a must try restaurant.

Lovely good and great service. They just need to be a bit more creative their menu items and be able to provide singular meat options and at a reasonable price. I had to pay an arm and a leg for an arm and a leg, pun intended.

great service. great food.

I ordered Koobideh plate. This was my first order. All i can say EXCELLENT food, EXCELLENT service and VERY friendly staff. I have no word to explain how GREAT experience i had with my first order. Very satisfied and HIGHLY recommend 👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place has great food 24/7. My first choice whenever I want to eat persian food.

Fantastic Kalle Pache at a reasonable price and great service. All the other foods seems to be delicious too. Also this place serves 24/7.

Incredible food. I come here for the best koobideh in Toronto. The quality of food speaks for itself here. The kebabs are always perfectly cooked. The grilled vegetable add on is excellent and must add with your dinner. Koobideh Kebab

Very tasty worth it the best part is 24 hour open .Any time the best food in town

The food is very good, the portion sizes are great but I couldn’t give it a proper rating due to the fact that they did not include any of the normal side dishes that come with Kabob. Normally you get mixed greens/herbs and onion but the restaurant said they can’t serve that because of covid. I would be ok with that except for the fact that they still serve salad if you pay extra for it lol ...so honestly their excuse makes no sense. It’s just a way for them to save a buck on every order while still maintaining their prices! I’ve been to several other restaurants for take out during this time and all of them include the sides with your meal like they should. Apparently Covid doesn’t effect items they charge you for but only effects the “free” items you’re supposed to be getting included with your meal 🤷🏻‍♀️

Came back after ten years to this place. It was great. food and service are good. It is the only Iranian restaurant opens 24 hours... And lots of lots of customers.. why? Just because delicious fresh made food

Amazing authentic persian restaurant with great staff and top notch food.

Great food and wonderful service . I have been a reg costumer for over a decade and never unhappy . Everything is great about this place . Just amused about the atmosphere and great quality and amazing people who work there.

You like Persian food then take a ride to Darband and have the best authentic Persian cuisine in GTA. I've no words to explain the quality of this restaurant. Super Delicious Persian food ..!!No matter you like it or not but don't forget to order 'Kebab Kobidah'. I never had such tender and juicy kebabs since I've moved to Canada.

Amazing food. Definitely one of the best kebab places in the GTA

They make the best persian food ever! I have tried so many places, but their Koobideh is #1. The restaurant itself is very small and busy all the time, so I prefer to do takeout rather then dine in. I have also catered from them many times and they provide great customer service and quality food! Recommend 100%!!

The Kalepache dish is cooked to perfection! The only problem is that they serve it with Pita bread!!! Sangak or Barbari bread is a must with this dish! The waiters are nice and fast. A Cozy place to have a Saturday or Sunday brunch with your family and friends!

Great customer service. A portion of the pick up order was missing. Restaurant offered for an Uber eats delivery at their own cost. Amazing food and quality. Definitely will be a continuous customer. Thank You!

One of fav places in Toronto. Love their kabob, tongue, sandwiches every single item on their menu. its busy on weekends but it definitely worth the wait.

Weekends is very busy and its hard to find parking spot.HALIM IS FINE.JOJE KABAB IS JUST FINE.DIZI is Very DELICIOUS.Kashobademjan is really delicious.POLO MAHICHEH is really really delcious.Zyton parvarde is very good.After 12 or 1 noon they dont serve Tea.

Food was delicious. Ample amount of rice and the chicken and beef were extremely flavourful. We also got the spinach dip which worked really well with the bread and rice!Service was okay. They forgot to give us menus for the longest time so we had to flag someone down. Also had to flag them down multiple times for water refills. Overall it was a good experience though!

We arrived at this spot for a meeting. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. Well, we were not disappointed. The crew were very polite and we felt very good. The meal was fresh and delicious. We loved this spot very much and we shall absolutely come back again. Keep it up.

This is honestly my favourite kebab place. I have been here many times and the food is always consistently good. I would recommend the chicken leg kebabs as it is super juicy and tender. What’s more, the price is very reasonable which makes it that much better to visit.

Extremely UNHEALTHY foods, Terrible food QUALITY. Not even delicious!!!

Went there for kalleh patche breakfast and it was super delicious! Friends also had halim and that was also very tasty. Tea is steeped Persian style and portions are generous...Flavours are just right!The actual restaurant is nothing fancy and service is not good. As long as you go there for the food don’t expect anything else, you’ll be just fine.
