Overall quality is high and prices are reasonable for the portions, making it a top choice for Persian cuisine in Montreal. Some reviews note occasional dishes that are not served hot or minor inconsistencies between visits, and a few experiences mention long waits or rare issues with cleanliness or safety. Taken together, the restaurant is celebrated for flavorful, well prepared meals and strong hospitality, suitable for family meals, date nights, and gatherings.
The food was very nice. However, I had to wait for it a very long time, while the friends I was with all got their food already. They waited for me to get my food, but by the time I got my dish (after repeatedly asking the staff, who weren't very responsive or taking immediate action, in stead I needed to confirm my order twice), all their dishes had basically gone cold. No apologies, nothing even mentioned.
We were with six & got a table cornered against a pillar, so that I couldn't see the person on the other side of that pillar. Very strange configuration for a restaurant. Next time I would order the food to be delivered.

Unfortunately, they provide very poor quality food & the cook is rude, & most interestingly, the waiter determines the amount of their tip before serving you the food.
The food quality was excellent - authentic Iranian flavors, with delicious rice, saffron, & kebabs. The atmosphere was pleasant with soft, enjoyable music, & the staff were friendly, smiling, & very efficient.
Really disappointed with my experience here. The chicken for the zereshk polo was actually good, but the rice was some of the worst I've had - it smelled off & wasn't fluffy at all, making it hard to eat. The koobideh was also disappointing; it wasn't juicy & tasted more like a burger patty than traditional koobideh. The one bright spot was the gentleman serving us, who was very nice & welcoming throughout the visit. Unfortunately, the food quality just didn't meet expectations.
In my opinion, this is the best Iranian restaurant in Montreal right now. I tried the Toranj Platter, which was delicious, followed by their Napoleon pastry & tea-it was the perfect combination. The food quality is consistent, & the staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming. If you're looking for authentic Persian flavors & a warm atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go.
Everything was so good & fresh! I really loved that they're vegetarian-friendly. & let me tell you the asheh reshteh was out of this world (the best I've had so far). The vegetarian fesenjoon was absolutely delicious too! The service was on point 👌🏽 Honestly, everything was perfect. Thank you to the whole team! 10/10

It used to be good but the koobedeh meat smells like lamb's wool is served uncooked to pretend to be juicy. Moreover, the Mirza Ghasemi also does not use roasted eggplant, but canned eggplant.
Nous avons vraiment adoré notre expérience. Le stationnement gratuit & facilement accessible est un excellent avantage. À l'intérieur, l'espace est chaleureux & la décoration très soignée crée une ambiance accueillante. Les plats sont délicieux : l'assaisonnement est juste, la cuisson parfaitement maîtrisée & la viande tendre & de très bonne qualité. Le tout offre un rapport qualité?prix remarquable. J'aurais simplement apprécié une musique d'ambiance plus traditionnelle pour compléter cette belle expérience

Food was mediocre, although being from Vancouver, I know my expectations are high for Persian food. Atmosphere was ok, I think we were there at their quieter time so it was pleasant. The staff member was very friendly & helpful.
I was quite surprised by their price range as it was on the higher end despite the medium quality.
First time trying Persian cuisine. We went on a weekday, so the restaurant was calm with no big crowds.
Atmosphere & decor: 10/10
Service: 10/10
Tea: 10/10
Food: 6.5/10. The lamb shank had too much tomato sauce & wasn't very enjoyable. The kobebiahs were delicious they were juicy & tender. However both dishes were unfortunately not served hot. The soup was tasty & warm. The salad was also good.
