I really wanted to love this restaurant. First off, the staff & atmosphere were absolutely fabulous. They could not have been nicer or better. You feel that you're in a chic museum. The mocktails were great. But here's the rub: the only food that lived up to the above was the kashk-o-bodemjaan. The ghormeh sabzi with lamb had lamb that was well cooked (fell off the bone) but the meat was under salted. The ghormeh sabzi itself was not properly sour & had a very mild flavor (should be sour from the dried limes). It also didn't seem to have adequate fenugreek. The barg was also under-salted but otherwise had a very nice char to it. But you can't make up for not pre-salting meat adequately after the fact. The salad shirizi was well presented & fine but tiny. The saffron rice had to be ordered separately from the kebab/khoresh, & seemingly there was no option to get tadigh. Maybe something like Rumi's Kitchen where you can order a tadigh app with a khoresh on top would be good? & no sumac was included with the kabob which would have been nice. I hope they keep fine tuning because I really want them to succeed & all the ingredients are there with a few tweaks.

Outstanding experience from start to finish. The quality of the meat is exceptional, perfectly cooked, tender, & full of flavor. Every dish was beautifully presented, & the desserts (see my pics) were just as impressive.
Staff extremely friendly (thank you Sarena!) & polite.
If you're looking for an upscale Persian dining experience in Montreal, Bous is a must-try!
Prix exorbitants époustouflant 20$ pour 3 bout de poulets & 50 pour 5 bout de viande mais c'est très très bon & les portions de desserts sont grosses a peut près une heure d'attente sur une nuit remplie service très gentil
It's mid. Food is good but nothing special. If you're asked to pay almost 100$ you'd expect to go out full. But portions are very small & flavours + presentation are not creative enough to warrant that type of price.
I visited this restaurant a few days ago, & I highly recommend it. The restaurant is beautiful, & the staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, & professional.
The food is outstanding, without a doubt, it's the best Iranian food I've had in Montreal. I've tried many Iranian restaurants across the city, & this one is by far my number one choice. They also offer delicious vegetarian options, which I really appreciated.
The décor & atmosphere are elegant, relaxing, & thoughtfully designed, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this place & will definitely be coming back!
