Persian Sandwiches Salads Café

Review Summary

Overall, reviews for JAMES PERSE - Côté Cuisine describe a mixed experience with strong coffee and pastries but variable meal quality. The coffee is frequently praised and the pastries are noted as very good, while the salads and bowls are described as fresh, flavorful, and healthy with good dressings. However meals are often seen as overpriced or inconsistent, with some portions small and a few dishes missing expected components, and reports of burnt items or chipped serveware. The service is described as pleasant or okay but rarely exceptional, and several comments suggest the price point does not match the value. The atmosphere and location are considered a plus and contribute to a relaxing experience, especially for coffee and pastry, though the meals may lead some guests to stick to the cafe offerings. All in all, the venue is seen as a strong cafe destination with high quality drinks and desserts and a mix of lunch experiences.View restaurant profile

Many reviewers highlight generous portions, homemade flavors, and the option to enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, making Café Toranj feel like a versatile destination. Certain dishes such as Bandari or Ghambarpolo have disappointed some guests on occasion, but others praise the kebabs for being juicy and well grilled. Overall, the atmosphere, décor, and authentic Persian cuisine position Café Toranj as a standout choice among Persian restaurants in the city.View restaurant profile
