Charcoal kebabs, saffron rice — and a wine lounge worthy of both.
Darbar is North York's Persian grill on Avenue Road: Vaziri, Barg and Koobideh over charcoal, Kashkeh Bademjan to start, and a wine lounge for the evenings that deserve one. Reserve in one form — no phone-only booking.
Services, in detail
Everything Darbar does — explained properly, with one clear way to book each one.
Vaziri Kebab
The house signature — a skewer of Barg and a skewer of Koobideh together over saffron rice, the plate Darbar is known for.
Koobideh & Barg Kebabs
Hand-seasoned Koobideh and tender Barg, charcoal-grilled and served with grilled tomato and fragrant rice.
Kashkeh Bademjan & Mirzaghasemi
Smoky eggplant starters — Kashkeh Bademjan with whey and mint oil, Mirzaghasemi with tomato and egg — with warm bread.
The Wine Lounge
A proper lounge pour to match a premium grill — linger after dinner instead of rushing the evening.

About Darbar
Darbar Persian Grill & Wine Lounge has served Avenue Road since 2015 — charcoal kebabs, saffron rice and a warm Iranian welcome, with a wine lounge for longer evenings. Its old website hid all of that behind generic FAQ text, a keyword list pasted twice, and hours that never loaded. This redesign puts the food first — the way a premium grill should.
