About

Mahammad Dawody has recently taken over Toranj Persian and Middle Eastern restaurant. Mohammad has around fifteen years of experience and since his time at the restaurant has introduced shisha pipes for an authentic feel.

Toranj is a restaurant that offers a vibrant and authentic dining experience, with a menu brimming with Middle Eastern and Persian delights. Start your culinary journey with the fresh and crisp fatush salad, a vibrant combination of tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, mint, spring onions, radish, parsley, and toasted Lebanese bread, drizzled with olive oil and pomegranate sauce dressing. Or indulge in the cheese borek, where rolled pastries are generously filled with a delightful mixture of feta, mozzarella, cheddar cheeses, and a touch of dry mint.

As you explore the menu, you'll discover an array of BBQ dishes and kebabs that are bursting with flavour. From the kebab momtaz to the shishlik and chenjeh, the grilled offerings are a meat eater’s delight. If you prefer traditional stews, the bamia ba ghoosht is a must-try. Fresh okra is expertly cooked in a special tomato sauce with a hint of garlic and tender cubed lamb, served with your choice of rice or veg mushrooms instead of lamb. The restaurant also has tapsi, a beloved vegetarian dish featuring a medley of aubergine, mixed peppers, onion, sliced potatoes, celery, all simmered in a special tomato sauce, and served with saffron rice.

At Toranj, the team takes pride in offering you an authentic taste of the Middle East and Persia. The dishes are made with the finest ingredients and expertly prepared to bring the flavours of the region to your plate. Whether you're enjoying a classic stew or indulging in a mouthwatering kebab, the goal is to transport you to the heart of Middle Eastern and Persian cuisine.

Excellent food

Food was as excellent as ever. Service was certainly non intrusive but could have been a little quicker. Our go-to restaurant in Edinburgh.
