Altona Kabob

What is Altona Kabob? Anchoring the Persian dining stretch at 6099 Yonge Street in North York, Altona Kabob is a no-frills, counter-service grill house focused on traditional flame-seared meats. The compact, unpretentious dining room puts all the emphasis on the open kitchen's charcoal aroma. Seating is strictly casual, filled with simple tables and booths tailored for swift solo lunches and late-night post-midnight refuels.

Altona Kabob Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out fully halal Persian classics, led by the signature Koobideh Kebab meal featuring double skewers of spiced minced meat served over a heap of buttery saffron basmati rice and blistered tomatoes. If you want variety, the Vaziri platter delivers an exceptional combo of juicy koobideh and saffron-marinated chicken breast. Those craving homestyle comfort should look to the slow-simmered Ghormeh Sabzi or pomegranate-walnut Fesenjan stew, rounded out with a chilled cup of house dough (minted yogurt drink).

Know Before You Go This is a walk-in-only operation with zero reservation formalities; service is brisk, though weekend late-night rushes can cause short waits for open tables. Transit riders can take the TTC north from Finch Station along Yonge Street, while drivers can look for curbside spots on adjacent side streets. The grill stays open past midnight seven days a week, stretching until past 3:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
