Reviewers praise the fresh, generous food such as mountain omelette, lentil soup, Persian style sandwiches, and saffron cake, with many calling the Persian fog and London fog standout drinks. The atmosphere ranges from quietly comforting to lively and crowded on weekends, with some tables feeling tight and the noise level high when busy; reservations are often recommended to avoid waiting. The service is generally friendly and attentive, though a few visits report a slower pace during peak times. Aunja is also noted for its extensive tea and dessert menu, bookish ambiance, and a sense of homey hospitality that makes it a go to spot for studying, meeting friends, or casual meals. Overall it is seen as a unique Montreal fixture with a distinctive menu, strong drinks, and a warm vibe, albeit at a premium price.
My favourite café in Montreal hands down. It feels so cozy & homey, perfect for catching up with a friend, journaling, drawing or just sipping on some really good tea. I always get the Persian Fog & it never disappoints. It's a perfect balance between sweet & salty. I've also tried the Persian Fragrance tea which is another great option & the Chicken Koukou. Not a huge fan of the chicken Koukou as I found it to be a bit bland, but that's a personal preference.
Café Aunja is absolutely adorable! the decor reminds me of having tea parties at my grandparents house from the walls to the tables. this cafe is a perfect place for a friends rendezvous & a pastry.

One of my favorite café to read or hang out with friends. Everyone working there is sooo nice & the food/drinks are amazing! It's very cozy, warm & welcoming. I always take a Persian Fog & a Ferni, but they also have really good tea options :)
I would definitely go to this cafe again. Hardly you can find both food & vibe in a decent level of satisfaction. Yes it is a little pricy & I would like it more if they didn't cut bread into very small bites. As a persian, id rather have barbari bread in bigger sizes beside my dish
Nous avions un petit coin car c'était super occupé! J'ai essayé le Persan Fog & Wow!! Super bon je recommande! Un des seuls café downtown que j'aime beaucoup pour l'ambiance & les bons produits!

Quaint little Persian café, great ambiance & sitting space. We tried the Persian Fog & Ginger Tea - both were great. The Chicken Koukous Sandwich wasn't up to our taste. But its a great place to meet friends, would love to try more of their menu. Only the chicken & Beef is halal here, not the sausage & Turkey. So best to ask the staff before you order, if Halal food is a compulsion for you.
A great café in the middle of Concordia campus. A great meet-up place. The tea was amazing. Too bad they didn't have a lot of choices. Same for the food. Delicious, but not many choices. The vibe is very nice though. It can be hard to find a seat even more if you are 4 or more.
Iranian style cafe providing delicious & very Persian teas, desserts & sandwich. Just one downside to consider: it is too popular on weekends so you need to reserve or wait for a table.
Beautiful café! with amazing food & wonderful drinks (not just tasty but also beautiful presentation). The place is cozy & has this vintage but homey kinda feel that's very inviting. Servers here are also providing exceptional service! Even to those who aren't patrons yet. The avocado sandwich & the roasted veggies sandwich are surprisingly good. No meat & yet... Amazing! Also tried the lemonade & the persian fog, loved the later.
