Honestly, The Persian Palace is beautifully designed. Truly lovely, but honestly being Iranian I’ve had much better food. In my opinion the only reason this place is so popular is because there isn’t really an Iranian restaurant around richmond hill thats this big so obviously people will be raving about it. Their food is meh, its not bad, but its not the best. There are much smaller joints around the city with tastier food.

The whole restaurant was gorgeous and the food was amazing! For such an extravagant looking restaurant, the prices on the lunch menu were pretty decent. I really enjoyed the ghormeh sabzi! The only downside to Persian Palace would have to be the weird elevator/musical rendition of old ‘90s classics music playing in the background. It made things a bit awkward between myself and my boyfriend as we were waiting on our food. Other than that, I would definitely come back to eat at The Persian Palace again!

I came here with 5 of my non-Iranian friends to show them what Persian food is like. We went for the 9−10pm all you can eat buffet. They told us we are welcome to come earlier but 9pm is when tables will get called to go get their food. We arrived 10 minutes before 9 so as a result, we were the last table there. However, 10:15pm rolls around and we have yet to be called to go get our food! I go speak to a server to see what’s going on, and they said we have to wait since everything is finished and they are making more food! I then also noticed that there are only 3 dishes and one salad at this buffet. Are you kidding me?! I’m paying $ 40 for just 3 dishes and an hour and a half wait??! I can go to Jerusalem Restaurant and have a huge variety of food and not have to wait to get called. We were so hungry that we just ate whatever was left over in the dishes and they were cold. Eventually when the food was cooked and brought to our table, they brought the kabob with NORICE. They just brought pita bread with it. Either way, we were pretty full and unsatisfied. The manager wasn’t being apologetic and thought just bringing the food to our table was good enough. He only reduced our bill to 4 orders instead of 6. Still for the price we paid, the service was terrible, and the wait is insanely long. I will never go back, I am very embarrassed and disappointed.

I have to admit, it’s one of the most beautiful restaurants I have been to. The food was cooked to perfection, came out hot. Service was impeccable and an overall great experience. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food and had a great time. Would definitely go back.

Dont judge a book by its cover they say but for this place you have too! Yes the place might look all fancy and cozy but the food/staff are horrible! Ive given this place 3 chances and each time i regret it even more! I can not stand their dry and uncooked food.

Came for lunch for my dad’s birthday. Great lunch menu, good prices, very good quality persian food in a beautiful setting. The outside of the place looks a little intimidating and weird as it is attached to the Travellodge, but inside is goegeous!!! Try the Mirza Ghasemi, an eggplant appetizer that is to die for. The rice and stew options are delicious and remind me of my mom’s cooking.

Good food, amazing live music Friday & Saturday nights. They have recently increased the price which is still a good value for an all you can eat buffet.

I’ll start by saying the place has a nice wow factor to it. The ambiance is nice. One of wife’s friends took us out for dinner this past weekend with our kids. We let them order as we’re not familiar with Persian food. The kabobs of meat were great! Very tasty and moist. I have taken notice of a drink they have it’s a carbonated yogurt drink. The more I drank the more I started to take in to its unique flavours. Wifey was not fond of the drink the pre meal edibles was also not everyone in our family. I didn’t mind it as I just love food. I would have not known about this place if it wasn’t for our friends. I highly recommend a visit.

Persian palace management needs to take a lesson in customer service. I contacted the manager to make a reservation for private birthday party of 20. The manager was not only rude to me, instead of checking whether I was willing to pay the price to book the banquet hall that takes 40 people she just assumed I wasn’t going to pay the price and decided on her own she said I cannot afford the cost. I’m highly disappointed that their management is so unprofessional by the way their food isn’t that great anyway. There are a lot of other iranian restaurants that have fantastic service and really good food like Shishlix.

Food was really great! Totally worth the price.(We spent 70 $ for two, including a drink and tip). The design of the location is very beautiful and unique. I strongly recommend a visit!
