Food was too small, they charge for rice separately, very unorthodox way for offering Persian food. Over charging horribly , & meat was over cooked . Not worth it , do not go !
Persian food is excellent, but it is the first time I receive it in beautiful plating & classy, elegant environment in Montreal.
A must restaurant to try.
Unfortunately, although the rest of the staff was charming & very helpful & friendly, our waiter was overdoing & overselling everything at Bous.
We also had to remind the waiter about ordered cocktails, which was sent back & other items. It dampened our experience.
It is still a must to come to Bous but it just shows how the staff is so important in the dining experience.

The service was truly top notch. honestly one of the best dining experiences I've had in Montreal! Our server Armina was such a sweetheart, she took exceptional care of us from beginning to end.

I absolutely loved this place! The food was outstanding, & the entire experience was exceptional. It's so refreshing to see such a beautiful, classy, & thoughtfully designed Persian restaurant. The atmosphere is elegant, unique, & unlike anything else in its genre. Everything from the décor to the food was done with great attention to detail. I'll definitely be coming back. Loved, loved, loved it!
We've officially found our new favourite Persian restaurant in montreal! From the moment we walked in we were blown away. The architecture & design are beautifully thought out, the persian music sets the perfect ambiance, & the warm hospitality immediately made us feel at home. Everything we tried was delicious: from the kashke bademjoon (our fav - so creamy!) to the koobideh kebab to the delicious ghorme sabzi to the chocolate date dessert - even the drinks were memorable! You can truly feel the love & authentic persian touch that goes into every dish. Special shout out to chef Ali & host Omar for making our experience so special with their incredible hospitality & service. My partner & I can't wait to come back & bring more friends & family. Highly recommend!
Please don't waste your time.
Very dark - bring a flashlight to read the very tiny cursive menu. Nothing offered on the table while you wait 30 minutes for your food. My first time in 25 years of eating Persian cuisine that I have ever seen a plate of Persian food served with only ONE kabob on the plate & a tiny plate of rice served on the side. Bread was dry & tasteless - good for breadcrumbs.
The name of the restaurant is also very poorly displayed.
Can't wait to get back home to Toronto where Persian food is done right. Full of flavour & very generous portion size.
While I ALWAYS take food pics, this restaurant was so disheartening that it never even occurred to me to take a photo of the food, that's how unimpressive it was! The other photos from other people adequately display the very small portions size.
Bous Persian cuisine is the perfect spot for a date night or a group dinner out. The drinks are unforgettable! I will be thinking about my chai daiquiri for years. Omar, the manager, was very knowledgeable & made the perfect recommendations. The meats were so tender & the flavors were perfect.
the best Persian fine dining experience I've had in Montreal. The restaurant beautifully showcases Iranian hospitality in a modern & elegant setting. Every dish was beautifully presented & packed with flavor, while still respecting the authenticity of Persian cuisine. The atmosphere is warm, sophisticated, & inviting, & the service is attentive without feeling overwhelming. It's wonderful to see Persian cuisine represented at such a high level. Whether you're already familiar with Iranian food or trying it for the first time, this place is absolutely worth visiting. I'll definitely be back.
