I come here almost on a weekly basis and usually get the Koobideh or Chicken Leg kebab. Usually I get it with salad and pita(no rice). The chicken leg is usually quite moist and tasty, although it does vary from time to time(I’ve had it a little under done, and a little overcooked). The Koobideh I’ve had much less(maybe 1 out of 10 times) but generally of good quality. I’m not an expert on kebabs, but I enjoy it and it’s fairly cheap(less than $ 15 after taxes and tip). Note that the service is generally pretty average, and at times can be poor. The staff are friendly but it’s clear English is a second language. The food can be slow if they’re backed up, and they will often get my order wrong, but are generally okay with giving me extra salad. Bottom line, it’s cheap food so I would say temper your expectations when it comes to service. In terms of quality of food, I think it’s great for the money but really unsure how it measures up to other kebabs.

Didn’t get the chance to try the food. The place was so disorganized, I couldn’t even put an order for a kebob and a pita. There was another person who just left waiting for his kebob tray for a long time. That’s too bad, place looks authentic.

I have ordered several times and the food has been consistently amazing. I suggest their ground beef kebab(koobideh).

We got take-out from here. For the first time. The prices are great for the portion you get so we were happy with that. The gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and nice. The reason I can not give this place 4 or 5 stars is because the taste is just OK. It’s not as tasty as I would expect based on the reviews, but the quantity vs. price ratio seems like a great value, so I won’t rule it out, I’ve just had a better tasting kebob elsewhere.

Whenever I’m in the mood for kebob, this is my favorite place to go. The staff are inviting, the service is good and the food is a step above the rest. My regular order is the koobideh, which is always cooked perfectly. The soup or salad that accompanies it is average, but the entrée more than compensates. The dining area is clean, but I find it a little dimly lit. Prices are reasonable and they sell glass bottled soda, which I like. Overall, I’d say this is one of the best kebob restaurants in the area.

Our favourite Persian food pick up in the GTA. Great prices, fresh food and generous portions. We’ve ordered everything from the koobideh, barg, chicken leg and ghormieh sabzi. Everything is always tasty, fresh and cooked perfectly. The restaurant is clean with a steady steam of people picking up food with a few people dining in. Ive tried lots of Persian places for pick up and this is my new go to because it encompasses everything that I expect if I were to sit down in Persian restaurant.

Food was great at the Little House of Kebab. It is the perfect place to get some authentic Persian food in Richmond Hill. I’ve been a regular guest at the restaurant for the past year, service has always been kind, and quality of the food is consistently good. Koobideh kebab, viziri, and barg are all recommended dishes. The lentil soup is also pretty nice.

Great food, great experience for a quick bite. The food is delicious, especially the«Koobideh Kebob». Portions are large, «you get what you pay for.» Service is kind and friendly, and food is prepared fast. This has become my «go-to» place when I’m hungry, because the atmosphere is also warm and inviting. Definitely give this place a try, it has become one of my favourite restaurants in Richmond Hill.

Came here on a Monday, First time here and I am not impressed. Based on the reviews I thought the food would be good. I walked into the restaurant, waited for some service took awhile for them to notice me since they were too busy talking to a friend. Finally, I had to yell my order for them to hear me. I decided to eat in, they brought me some salad to the table. It was dressed with vinegar, the salad didn’t taste fresh. Then came my chicken leg kabob I ordered. It was gross. I had a stomach ache and the chicken tasted like soap as if they washed the chicken with soap. The rice was soggy. The tomato tasted like mildew. I also ordered lamb shank, but they brought me koobideh instead. They didn’t seem to happy when I told them they got the order wrong. We ended up eating the koobideh anyway. It tasted okay, mediocre at best. Rice was also soggy and the tomato tasted old. Probably will never be coming back. I’m very disappointed.

I really enjoy eating here. The staff is very welcoming and the food is very tasty. They are so generous with their tadig and that will always make me come back. The cucumber yogurt is my favorite as well as the gormeh sabzi. Wait time could be a little less for take out, but I guess they are completing phone in orders as well.

I love this place. The staff are friendly and for the price you pay, you get a generous tasty portion. I always get koobideh, which comes with two skewers of meat, rice and a grilled tomato. You also get a choice of soup/salad. the soup is a delicious barley soup! The restaurant is very clean and spacious and never busy; most people just drop in for takeout.

You get a great big portion for the price you pay. It even comes with a starter — house salad or soup. The koobideh itself is quite nicely seasoned, especially since it contained alot of onions in it. the décor is nice and the service was absolutely friendly. Definitely worth a trip here for kebob.

Making this review while I’m trying the food. Never tried Persian food before. So. Here goes. Ordered the soltani kebob.(sirlon and beef mix with lamb) with lentil soup. Plus for drinks, I tried the yogurt drink. Soup. Not a full bowl but is hearty. A little bland for my taste though. Yogurt drink. Is made with yogurt, salt, pepper and diced mint. Interesting taste… Minty and a little sour(NOT the spoiled taste. It’s from the mint) going down… This is made in house everyday. Now for the main meal. Soltani. 1 skewer of Sirlon. Very tender and nicely spiced.(Real meat, Not minced). Lol The other, minced beef and lamb mix. It’s pretty good and nicely spiced too. Balsamic rice, cooked good with little oil. Bonus was they also give a piece of rice pot sticker with the meal. It’s the bottom rice that is cooked that turns out crispy. Very interesting also but was pretty good. Lol. Overall, it’s ok but, WOW, was that a new experience for me. Hahahha.

I was thrilled to find a Persian Restaurant in my area. I used to drive all the way to North York to get my koobideh fix :) I usually order the koobideh, and this place is pretty good. I have read complaints about the lack of «meat» but in my opinion — you get enough. There’s usually a heaping scoop of rice topped with meat and a side salad and a roasted tomato. I personally don’t like the balsamic dressing, so if I take out I’ll just use my own salad dressing. Koobideh is $ 7.99 for the meal(no drink). I think for the price it’s worth it.

I usually like to order from here… Their food was always good. But tonight my husband found a clean cut finger nail in the salad as he was chewing!!! Omg! We were so grossed out and called. The man apologized and said he would give us free salad next time… but do you think I would ever eat the salad again…

Came in for lunch today at noon, and it wasn’t too busy which is good because they can focus and take the time to make your food. Kabobs were amazing as always… Barley soup was fantastic… Rice, top notch!

ORIGINALREVIEW: Love their food. I always get the beef kebab with rice. Been going there for over 10 years and their quality is always consistent. They’ve moved a bit north now, but worth the trip. Hope they open one in Mississauga! Update Jan 2015: They have changed their rice… For me, it made the taste not as good as before… Please bring back the original rice.

where is the meat? reading reviews and was told they were generous in the portions. I guess I failed to read the reviews in full… I think they were talking about everything else except the meat. I ordered the chicken kabob pita and still looking for the chicken. don’t get me wrong, everything was pretty fresh, clean and it was tasty. even though they cooked the chicken fresh, I need a bit more meat. the size of the pita and amount of veggies were not really in proportion. they use the really big size pita breads for their sandwiches and they do stuff it with lots of veggies. to give you a visual, just imagine a piece of tissue you get at Mcdonald, open it up and place a toothpick in the middle, voilà there is the size of the chicken you get. price wise, not that bad. pita and pop only $ 4.99 + tax will I come back… hard to say. I saw other really good things on the menu and was tempted by it. if i do come back, I will make a mental note to order more meat on the size.

Kebobs, kebobs and more kebobs. Variety of kebabs and strange names, but I still like the food here. Egg plant dishes are fabulous. I prefer the beef kebabs and rice sprinkled with samac. It’s pretty good for the price I pay.

Little House of Kebob is the best decorated and cleanest Self Serve Persian grill house I have been to! Everything so clean and in order, even the washroom is immaculately spotless! Order at the counter with the option of eating in or takeout. We decided to share 2 entrees which both comes with a choice of soup or salad. Koobideh Kebob($ 6.99) — cooked to order, fresh of the grill taste — Mixture of grounded lamb and beef, a little gamey for my taste. The meat though is moist Lamb Shank($ 9.99) — Surprisingly tender and well flavoured! — Rice on the side is mixed with rosemary and fava beans Portion is quite decent at this price point. We left happy and fulfilled! Love how our meals are served on real plates and cutlery! I just can’t stand eating from Styrofoam! Definitely would be back again for their stew! Fesenjan($ 8.99) and Ghormeh Sabzi($ 6.99) which comes with rice and soup/salad, sound delicious!
