Takht-e Tavoos Restaurant

This Persian brunch spot is a must-visit! The food is an easy 10/10—every dish is perfectly seasoned, bursting with flavor, and absolutely delicious. The service is just as incredible, with warm and attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Truly above and beyond—can’t wait to come back!

I went back after a one-year wait to this restaurant specifically so I could eat their brunch again and have their cream and honey with flatbread. It's that good. This time I tried the orange flower and beet lemonade; very sweet and delicious. A little loud inside when it gets busy, but otherwise perfect.

Honestly it should be thought of as an egg restaurant not a brunch restaurant as 9 out of 10 of the menu items were literally sunny side up eggs on a bed of different things. We got the Mirza Ghasemi with the eggs blended in which we thought would be more like an omelette style and the eggs would be scrambled in but no blended in meant the sunny side eggs are chunked in which I didn’t like. Their chai was good. Service and Atmosphere were amazing. Overall, I’ve had better Persian food.

Food was amazing. I ordered the Mirza Qasemi with eggs and added a side of their smoked halal sausage. The eggplant and tomato base was absolutely delicious and went very well with the eggs and warm, soft barbari bread. The olives tasted very different and it was great. The smoked sausages paired well with everything. Also got the pomegranate juice which was a bit too sour for my taste. The interior is also beautiful. They don’t take reservations so it might be a bit of a wait for a table depending on when you go. They are only open on the weekends. I felt a bit rushed to wrap it up and pay the bill even though I wasn’t quite done eating.

We’ve ordered Kalleh joosh and Zaban and they were both super delicious and fresh. The atmosphere was great and the design of the food and the restaurant was really good. Also the bread was really fresh and they offer extra bread without extra charge!

We tired it for lunch. The Dizi was amazing and delicious! Bagahli Ghatogh was also tasty. I genuinely enjoyed my meal and will definitely come back again to check the other dishes on the menu. The only weird thing was the tahini that I am not sure if it comes with Baghali and it was unexpected. This plate with its sides is already heavy, the tahini was unnecessary.

This was once a favourite brunch spot of mine that I would rave about and recommend to others. However my last visit was very disappointing, and I went again today to give it another chance. Unfortunately it confirmed that a once excellent place is now a place I will not go back to. I wonder what accounts for such a stark change, whether there has been a change in ownership? The quality of the food was once exceptional, but these last two times the quality has decreased so much. I didn't even bother eating more that a few bites of my dish today as it was flavourless, and the bread was stale. The staff seemed disinterested and did not address this. Most concerning is that we saw one of the staff picking up glasses but putting her fingers inside - which is unhygienic and against basic standards of service and cleanliness. This same staff member was unkempt, which is a bit off-putting as service staff at a minimum should look clean. I think the above is reflected in the overall change in vibe in the place, as previously there was a very welcoming atmosphere by the staff and a feeling that they had pride in their establishment, whereas not there is a feeling that the staff are just going through the motions and don't really care. I do hope they reflect on this change and try to capture some of the original quality and feel of the place, because truly it was once great and it is a shame to see the decline.

Tavoos specializes in Iranian cuisine, located on college street and dufferin street and it is absolutely delicious. We ordered the double cream and honey, mirza ghasemi with a side of barbary bread, and mushroom herb nargesi. We absolutely loved dipping the barbary bread in the mirza ghasemi and double cream and honey, as it was the perfect mix of sweet and savoury. The flavours of the dishes are unreal, making Tavoos a standout brunch spot compared to your standard American diner.
