Khorasan Kabab is described as fresh, flavorful Persian cuisine with juicy kebabs, generous portions, and unbeatable value, often sustained by a constant standard under the same owner-chef; the atmosphere is welcoming and family friendly with a homey vibe, and staff are frequently praised for friendliness and attentive service, with small touches like tea on the house and a space to pray noted by reviewers. Many call it among the best Iranian restaurants in Montreal, with diners traveling from far and wide to dine and returning often. The menu features items such as mixed grill plates, koobideh, baghali polo, and Aash, and takeout is reliable, though a review mentions a delivery mishap with soup spilled on the main dish and another notes a staff member being unfriendly and pressuring for a tip. Overall the impression is delicious, reliable food paired with warm hospitality that makes customers feel at home and eager to return.View restaurant profile
