Overall, Café Toranj is described as a cozy, elegant spot offering authentic Persian cuisine in a warm, welcoming atmosphere with décor that blends traditional Persian elements and modern touches. Dishes range from flavorful kebabs and traditional stews like ghormeh sabzi and fesenjan to specialties such as albaloo polo and gheimeh bademjan, with rice prepared in the Persian style rather than basmati and desserts that showcase saffron and rose flavors. Live Iranian music on Saturday nights and a menu that includes heartwarming classics create a lively, culturally rich experience. Service is praised for friendliness and attentiveness, although some visits report slower service and occasional price concerns. 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

Byblos Le Petit Café attracts praise for a warm, cozy atmosphere and a Persian inspired menu, with many reviewers raving about the dizi, the feta omelette breakfast, fresh bread and jams, and the option to share a variety of dishes at brunch, making it feel like a comforting, signature Persian cafe experience. The service is described as friendly and knowledgeable by some, but inconsistent and slow during peak hours by others, with occasional disorganization and delays in serving dishes and even cleanliness concerns raised in a few visits. Prices divide opinions as well, with some calling the value fair while others find the options overpriced. The ambiance, decor, and openness of the space are repeatedly highlighted as a major draw, along with the ability to work or relax in a spacious setting, though consistency in flavor and execution can vary from visit to visit.View restaurant profile
