Kebab Bazari

What is Kebab Bazari? Situated along Queen Street West just east of Niagara Street, Kebab Bazari brings authentic Persian grilling traditions to downtown Toronto. The intimate dining room is unpretentious and cozy, soundtracked by easygoing jazz and anchored by the smoky aroma of skewers sizzling over an open grill. Seating is casual, with tidy dining tables designed for quick neighborhood lunches, late-night dinners, and fast-moving takeout crowds.

Kebab Bazari Menu & What to Order Skewers are the main draw here, especially the handmade beef koobideh and juicy chicken koobideh served over heaps of buttery, saffron-stained basmati rice. Stews and specialties hold their own, most notably the pomegranate-walnut glazed torsh beef and rich Gheymeh Nesar Ghazvini strewn with slivered nuts and barberries. Round out your meal with vegetarian-friendly dips like smoky mirza ghasemi, kashk bademjan, and marinated zeytoon parvardeh alongside refreshing doogh.

Know Before You Go Service is walk-in only and moves briskly, though tables can fill quickly during peak weekend dinner rushes. Streetcar riders can take the 501 Queen line right to the door, while drivers will need to rely on Green P street parking along Queen West. The kitchen serves halal meats and stays open until midnight Friday through Sunday, making it a reliable late-night stop.
