Same as Shomal (same owner). Hit and miss. From absolute shit to maybe half-okay (never great). It's got an eerily weird atmosphere. Lots of risho-pashm faces and new-comers from Iran. I won't go there again.
The best Koobideh I have had in the past 2 years has consistently been from "Shater Abbas". They have 2 locations. One is only express with excellent food. The main restaurant has the same stuff and is on Yonge south of Highway 7 (same plaza as Super Parsian). The owner recently passed away, but the food remains good.
Honestly, most food in Toronto has gone beyond great and is simply amazing these days. I have traveled to many places and Toronto has some of the best ethnic food in the world.

Unfortunately the places with the best food don't have the best ambiance. If you want good ambiance, Gilaneh in my opinion is pretty good.
Shater Abbas is very good food, but the restaurant decor itself is very ordinary.
There's also some restaurants which the hipster crowd love such as takht tavous and pomegranate but they're marketed towards non-Iranians.
There is a very good restaurant called Reihoon in Burlington (near Hamilton), pricy but high quality and great setting.

I 2nd Fatso's opinion. I know the owners of Reyhoon very well and have been an avid customer since the day they opened. Nothing beats their patio setting in summer months. I adore that village for personal reasons.
I have taken American colleagues of mine to Reyhoon multiple times (some of them very high rank directors) and the place didn't disappoint.
The only problem for you might be the 60KM drive from Yonge in traffic.
Toronto's traffic these days is the most pathetic it has ever been. No words can describe how I feel about it. Sorry, yeah Reyhoon is good!

Fariborz jan,
When are u coming? We should meet up if you have time!
I tried Gilane about 3 weeks ago, and it was pretty good.
If you need great ambience and great kebab, try Shahrzad. Its consistently good. The only downside is its only open after 5pm. Or else its a great place to go with guests. Its so beautiful inside, u feel like you've been to Kashan/Esfahan.
