Herby is a family-owned Iranian restaurant with more than 20 years of experience in the food business. We have a liquor license and offer a selection of wine and beers to pair with Persian & Turkish food.

Herby’s ambiance is simple and restful, with a décor of Persian pottery and photos and music that softly fills the air. Ours is a place for romantic dinners, birthdays and family occasions. We also offer catering.

Food is deemed to be hot or cold in its effect on the metabolism, and Persian gastronomy looks for a balance between the two, in a way of thinking that’s comparable with the Chinese concept of yin and yang. Herby’s fare is based on the best fresh, organic, and preservative-free ingredients available, often imported directly from Tabriz.

Chef Javad is passionate about what he does, creating joy and laughter with friendly conversation with his customers, and making sure that they go home having been fully immersed in the beautiful Persian culture that he’s so proud of.

    Great menu selection, nice decor and great service. Coming from an Iranian, the menu is authentic but the flavour and cooking of the food itself is not; it’s almost like someone who is trying to cook from a distant memory of what they saw their Persian family cook. It’s amazing they offer tahdig but it isn’t done well; not at all crispy; the kashkebadam joon was a bit strange; like they used green/sour eggplants that weren’t really roasted, not enough kashke. The restaurant has potential if it revamps their food

    Great last minute find. Food is reasonable and delish and they made a special plate for our daughter who is 4 and the chef even came out to see how she liked it!

    Very enjoyable dinner for friends birthday? Both kebas and stews were excellent! Hummus and rice was outstanding as well. Comfortable booths and service was not rushed. We would not hesitate to return!

    Service was ok but the food was cold, not tasty and seemed low quality for the amount of money they charge. Of course nothing against the servers but I would not recommend this place.

    Food was delicious! Patio is noisy but to be expected as it is right on the Danforth.
