City Kebab

What is City Kebab? Occupying a straightforward storefront along Yonge Street in Mount Pleasant East, City Kebab is a casual Persian grill focused on classic open-flame skewers and homestyle cooking. The interior is bright and utilitarian, featuring counter service, simple dining tables, and large street-facing windows. It serves primarily as a reliable midtown fixture for comforting, well-spiced Iranian fare to eat in or carry out.

City Kebab Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out fully halal Persian standards anchored by charcoal-kissed meats and aromatic basmati rice. The signature Beef Koobideh is a must-order, featuring tender, minced beef skewers seasoned with saffron and grated onion, plated with charred tomatoes and fluffy saffron-stained grains. The Vaziri platter offers the best of both worlds by pairing a koobideh skewer with saffron-marinated chicken breast or leg, while slow-cooked Ghormeh Sabzi herb stew and smoked eggplant Mirza Ghasemi provide earthy depth. Round out the meal with chilled Mast-o-Mousir and diced Shirazi salad.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly walk-in with fast counter turnaround, so waits for a table are rare even during prime dinner hours. Metered street parking is available along Yonge Street and adjacent residential side roads, with easy TTC access via frequent buses between Eglinton and Lawrence subway stations. The kitchen serves continuous daily hours from noon until 9:00 p.m.
