Welcome to the Sheherzade. Sheherazade reflects Persian food as is usually eaten in the bazaars (Dizi) or cooked out in nature on an open air grill (kabob), on the long days of summer, in the shade on the side of a mountain, by the riverside or in the baghs (gardens). The name and decor are inspired from a visit to Tehran where we encountered a gallery showing the works of 19th century Qajar painter Sani ol Molk. His works depict the legendary stories of 1001 Nights, the central figure, quintessential storyteller Sheherazade herself. more... See more text

The best Persian restaurants in Toronto

Sheherzade resembles its little sister and next-door neighbour, The Pomegranate. The decor is similar, but what sets this Persian restaurant apart is their focus on grilled kabobs. From beef tenderloin, to boneless chicken breast, to lamb loin chops, to saffron-infused buttery kabob – this place has loads of options. Enjoy your meal with doogh, a soothing yogurt drink that they prepare beautifully with mint and rose petals sprinkled on top. For dessert, try their bastani akbar mashti, a Persian ice cream made with rose water and saffron, topped with cinnamon spice, dusts of rose, slivered pistachios and almonds, and pomegranate.

Toronto Persian restaurants that bring on the flavour

Located next door to its sister restaurant, The Pomegranate, Sheherzade offers the same attention to flavour with a focus on kebabs. Bringing a more homestyle approach to Persian fare, the menu is inspired by the culture’s bazaars where food is prepared on an open-air grill.
