Mr Dizi

I tried Mr. Dizzy and overall had a really good experience. Their dizi is absolutely amazing. No complaints at all. I also ordered a Vaziri with rice. The rice was very good, and the tahdig was the highlight. It genuinely reminded me of my grandmother’s homemade tahdig, which says a lot. That said, the kobideh and joojeh were just okay, nothing special compared to the dizi. If I were to recommend anything, I’d say definitely go for the dizi. that’s what really stands out here. On top of that, the staff were very friendly, the service was great, and the place was clean and pleasant. Overall, a nice spot, especially if you’re craving a truly great dizi.

This place is a hidden gem in Toronto! The dizi tasted absolutely authentic, just like the ones you’d find in Iran. The barg kebab was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. Even the rice was delicious, fluffy, and aromatic. But what really stood out was the homemade Doogh, it was truly in another league! The staff were extremely kind and friendly, making the whole experience warm and memorable. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving real Persian food with genuine hospitality!

I stopped by Mr. Dizzy for a quick lunch after work and ordered the Koobideh Kabab. The kabab was tasty, juicy and well-cooked, slightly on the salty side but still enjoyable. At around $19, the price is within the reasonable range I usually expect for this dish ($17–$20). The rice was good, the grilled tomato was perfectly cooked, and the overall presentation of the plate looked appealing. I would have preferred a bit more onion on the side, but that’s just a small suggestion. The restaurant itself has a cozy atmosphere with a beautiful design. The tables were clean, though the floor needed a bit of attention, nothing major, likely seasonal traffic. There was a cloth on the floor the entire time that staff may have simply missed. Service was friendly, though I would have appreciated the server checking in once or twice during my meal. Overall, considering the quality, price, and experience, I think 4 stars is a fair and honest review. I appreciate the effort small businesses put in, and this was a good lunch stop.

If you grew up in Iran, stepping into Mr. Dizi instantly feels like coming home — and the moment you taste their food, the nostalgia hits even harder. The highlight of my visit was definitely the Abgousht-e Boz Bash — unbelievably flavorful, perfectly slow-cooked, and rich with the aroma of fresh herbs and tender lamb. Every spoonful took me straight back to childhood memories of family gatherings and the comforting warmth of traditional Persian cooking. It’s rare to find that authentic “home” taste outside Iran, but Mr. Dizi absolutely nails it. The Koobideh was juicy, smoky, and perfectly seasoned — grilled to perfection with that signature Persian balance of spice and tenderness. The Barg Kebab and Joojeh Kebab were equally impressive — soft, buttery, and bursting with flavor, served beautifully with saffron rice that had the perfect tahdig crunch. For appetizers, I loved the Zeytoun Parvardeh, rich with walnuts, pomegranate, and olives — tangy and satisfying — and the Mast-o-Mousir, creamy with that irresistible garlicky depth, paired perfectly with fresh flatbread. Everything was served with care and attention to detail, from the plating to the portion sizes. The service was warm and genuine, just like you’d expect from a Persian household. Mr. Dizi Toronto is not the biggest, but truly the best. A must-visit for anyone craving real Persian comfort food in the city. Highly recommended — especially if you want to relive a little taste of Iran.

Good food, nice ambiance and reasonable prices. The specialties, the Dizis, are very good. Tasting fresh and delicious, served with some nice side dishes. The kebabs on the other hands aren't the stars of the show. If you go there, my recommendation is to stick with the Dizi, you can't go wrong. You can also get their loyalty card and collect stickers for future discounts. Oh and BTW, try their house dough. Thank me later

Updated version: We've already become regulars at this place, and all the pictures are from different visits :) Top items on the menu so far: Traditional Dizi and Salari Kabab. This Persian restaurant is awesome! I loved everything about it; the decorations were really nice, and the touches of Persian culture were super cute. The service was quick and really good. The sides went perfectly with what we ordered. The dining area was chill and cozy. But honestly, the food stole the show; it was such a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Mr Dizi is fantastic even if you skip the famous Dizi. Beyond the Dizi, they offer perfect kebab and rice options that are authentic and satisfying. ​Be sure to start your meal with their delicious soup—it's hearty, flavorful, and incredibly comforting. To finish, their aromatic tea (likely blended with saffron or cardamom) is wonderfully soothing and the perfect way to cap off a great meal. Highly recommended for a full Persian dining experience.

Amazing Dizi experience! I tried the traditional dizi here and it was absolutely delicious. Rich flavor, perfectly cooked, and served hot just the way it should be. The atmosphere felt cozy and authentic, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. After the meal, tea and baklava were served, beautifully presented and absolutely delightful. The warm, friendly atmosphere made the experience even more special and memorable. I will be back for sure!
