Are there any Iranian restaurants selling Kebabs in the Mississauga/Oakville/Etobicoke area? I’ve tasted excellent Kebabs at the store next to Toyko Teppanyaki in Thornhill and the “Little house of Kebabs” at...

Karoon is probably one of the oldest, most well-established Persian places. It’s around yonge and steeles, as is Zaffron. Karoon’s food is all delicious. Zaffron’s a little more upscale both in the price and...

I’ve been looking for a source for pre-blanched pistachios, and someone on the General Board helpfully suggested that Iranian and/or Middle Eastern grocery markets often carry these. Any recommendations for a good market of...
