A beautiful & unique Persian cafe. Loved the falafel sandwich & Persian fog. I wish the parsley were cut into smaller pieces in the sandwich.

I got the koukou chicken sandwich.
It was delicious but impossible to eat, just looking at it, I thought I was gonna break my jaw 😅. Perhaps take the same quantity & just make it more flat (ie. Bigger in width than height).
Also, I think you should have an option for tea or drink with the meal that is reasonably priced. (Ex: 5$ cup of tea if purchased with a meal). The only option available was a pot of tea 10$ & all other tea drinks >9$.
Thank you.

Chicken koukou sandwich + saffron cake were both insanely fresh & tasty. Also excellent atmosphere & staff. Run, don't walk, to this place.

Cozy environment, mostly occupied
Their sandwiches are tasty but also expensive.
A sandwich & milkshake/coffee/tea will be $30+

L'endroit est magnifique, vraiment un bel espace qui donne envie de s'attarder. Côté nourriture, le sandwich au poulet est un must, un vrai délice. Par contre la carte est inégale selon les plats. Ce qui gâche un peu l'expérience c'est le service, le personnel manque clairement d'amabilité. Dommage parce que le potentiel est là
