Shater Abbas Restaurant

The kabab here is the best in the city. The prices are not cheap but you get great quality and huge portions. We usually split a koobide and it’s enough. Try the tosh for best kabab of your life. I prefer with teir homemade taftoon than with rice. Just extremely busy on Sunday afternoon.

Great food. Generous portions. Juicy kabob. It is busy in the weekends which makes you wait more but it is worth it. Absolutely recommended Iranian restaurant.

Goood: food quality.
Bad: service.
Ugly: overpriced.
P.s: they don’t give half rice/​half salad in this store which is very wired. Also they did not bring us bread unlike other good Persian restaurants.
Overall rating: mediocre.

–They are very particular about finishing up right at 10:30 .
–They brought me Chenjeh instead of Barg and charged me Barg
–If you wanna get Chenjeh. pay 1 $ more and get an extra skewer of joojeh by changing your order to Soltani
–Qorme sabzi that they brought us was not hot. it was just quite warm!
— They do not have tahdig

Great food. At first it seems the prices are a bit on the expensive side but the portions are huge. The two skewer combos are more than enough for two people. I recommend the dark chicken meat kebab and the eggplant appetizer.

Generally when they are not too busy, the quality of the Persian food is one of the best in the city. If you have not had Persian kebab before, you will not be disappointed.
The Persian kebabs here are delicate, well marinated, and melt in your mouth. The chefs here really have a special skill to consistently push out very high-​quality food.
Generally, the service is pretty good but when they are busy I can get quite hectic and you may have to repeat certain things.
The homemade yoghurt drink called «dough» is delicious and refreshing.
You’re going to pay a little bit more than other person places here but the food quality is well worth it.
The furniture and ambiance isn’t top-​notch but this place is a cozy family oriented smaller restaurant.

Parole d’iranien
This is the best Kabab in town
Always come here when I visit Toronto
Simply the best

I attend as a first time with my family (5 together). We all ordered Different Kabab like Kabab torsh, chenjeh, barg, koobideh and baghalipolo but we all agreed although the foods were clean and nice served, the quality were not good. On top of that, the cashier was not nice at all while I was paying my bill. She was RUDDDDDDD .
dump it
Wont go anymore!

First time having persian food my coworker told me this was one if the best in town and while i cant compare, i thought THIS was amazing in general! Koobideh was so fragrant and well seasoned, not overly salty, my husband and i both loved eating it with the leaf (sorry dont know what its called) as in vietnamese cuisine we eat a lot of basil mint and herbs too, the leaves were a welcomed brightness to the giant meaty portions

Patogh closed down, Darband is too far, Shomal rice makes me cry and Banu is contemporary. If it wasn’t for a nice friend, I’d keep driving by Shater Abbas, to never discover their great khoresht and kabob.
The place is best suitable for a quick dine-​and-​go or take-​out, as it is small and isn’t exactly cozy. Muted colours, modern furniture, very clean and well-​maintained.
I’ve been spoiled rotten with great homemade Persian food so if I don’t like your rice, I really don’t care how famous your Ghormeh Sabzi is (which I am also terribly picky about because it’s my least favourite dish but when prepared right, it’s a star). Their rice is closest to what I’ve actually loved in a while. Soltani kabob melts in your mouth and it’s far superior to their koobideh. Baghali polo is very aromatic and a single portion is quite generous, you may not be able to handle it with an appetizer. My all-​time favourite Fesenjan was quite close to being well-​balanced, if it didn’t end up on an oilier side, much like the Ghormeh Sabzi. Both dishes had plenty of flavour to make up for it.
Not a place to get comfortable at, but a great idea to stop by for a quick meal with friends. An ideal dish to split in a rush would be their appetizer trio of your favourite dips and picklings. It’s enormous and bread is fresh. Service is prompt and friendly, foreigner or not. Take-​out service is very speedy, regardless of how busy they are.
I travel all the way from Lakeshore for my takeout! Gives me an excuse to complete my Persian dining experience by grabbing pastry from Heloo Goolub and groceries at Parsian Fine Foods. Those 3 businesses make that plaza a great one.

The service is not that great. The location is so small and the food taste is not the best

I’m a fan of Persian food and Shater Abbas did everything to reinforce my liking for it.
Pros:
Good portions
Friendly service
Cons:
Seats are a little close to each other
Came here for dinner Saturday night based on reviews from Unilocal.Shater Abbas is a tiny little place but was very busy when we came in. We were seated pretty quickly as turnover here is pretty quick.
We ordered the chicken leg skewer and lamb shank dinners. Because they cook your food to order here, it was about 15 – 20 minutes before the food came. This is pretty standard though so it’s nothing big. I do imagine during very busy times it could take longer.
The chicken leg skewer comes with some breast meat as well. I imagine it’s one chicken leg and then breast meat to fill the rest of the skewer. My little one loved it so the chicken was not overdone. She won’t eat chicken if it’s overdone and too dry. My lamb shank was very good as well. It also wasn’t overdone and well cooked. They give you a small bowl which holds the sauce the lamb shank is braised in as well which I have never gotten before at other places. This sauce is a welcome addition as it basically acts like a gravy. Who doesn’t like gravy?
I do have to mention that Shater Abbas gives you a lot of rice. The biggest portion of rice I have ever had at Persian restaurants. My gripe is always I don’t get enough rice. This place had me very full at the end of my meal.
Service here was very friendly. We are not their usual clientele but never once did we feel like we were treated any differently. The servers were all very nice and answered any questions we had politely.
Shater Abbas may just be my new go to place for Persian food. The prices are fair and the portions good. If you’re a fan of Persian food I suggest you give this palce a try.

We have been several times and have brought Persian friends here as well. Their comment was, «This is the real deal for good Persian food.»

The best in everything. You can order anything, and every dish is on point! Whenever we have friends we bring them here, non Iranians even thinks the food is heavenly.

Great Persian food and for the price you pay you get a lot of food, food is fresh made, and taste excellent

The food is nice, above average, the staff was cold and could have been a lot nicer. They weren’t rude or mean, but lacked hospitality. We had an assortment of salad. The eggplant was really good, the rest was alright. We then had a combo with lamb and chicken, the peas, the spinach and another lamb with sauce. The lamb with sauce was exquisite and the rest was good. Overall, the place is clean, although a bit small and it feels a bit too fast food for the price. I don’t regret going, but I won’t go again.

The restaurant was good
It was clean
Food was good
Quantity was good
Service was alright kind of slow to pay the bill.
Nice music tho!
Would go again for sure!

I came with friends and family under the recommendation of my (Persian) friend. This is not a fancy restaurant. It’s a storefront restaurant in a strip mall and the décor is plain and functional. So, don’t come here for ambiance. But DO come for the food, the friendly staff, and the price too. These people know what they are doing. The food is good, well portioned and decently priced.
The eggplant dish was AMAZING. Pomegranate beef was succulent, but perhaps a bit too sour for me. The bean soup superb and the standards of Koobideh and Soultani Kebabs were juicy. I couldn’t finish my dish, but likely that’s because I was tasting from other peoples plates.

Delicious kabobs… Juicy and fresh at a reasonable price… Most definitely try their Chenjeh or Soltani plates

We noticed all the positive reviews so we decided to come and give this place a shot. Place is clean. Service is quick and friendly. We shared combo#2 so we can try a bit of everything. All tasted great. Personally I recommend chicken leg kebab. Proportions are huge here. Prices are reasonable. Free WiFi (password is their phone number)
