Shatter Abbas Persian Cuisine

What is Shatter Abbas Persian Cuisine? Anchoring a bustling stretch of Sheppard Avenue East in North York, Shatter Abbas Persian Cuisine delivers deeply comforting Iranian home cooking in an unapologetic takeout format. The compact, spotless interior seats barely ten guests along casual counters, though warm weather opens up a casual outdoor patio for dining on-site. It is an unpretentious counter built on charcoal smoke and speed, geared toward neighborhood regulars picking up family-sized feasts.

Shatter Abbas Persian Cuisine Menu & What to Order The kitchen hits its stride with the skewers, turning out impeccably seasoned, juicy minced-beef Koobideh over mounded saffron basmati rice with blistered tomatoes. Traditional stews demand equal billing: the tart, herb-dense Ghormeh Sabzi and the rich Fesenjan—thick with ground walnuts and tangy pomegranate molasses—taste patiently simmered for hours. Starters like smoky Kashkeh Badenjan (roasted eggplant crowned with fermented whey and fried mint) make an essential prelude, while the fall-apart braised lamb shank in Baghali Polo & Mahicheh over fragrant dill and fava bean rice is the heavyweight prize.
