Review Summary

Cafe Aunja is described as a cozy and vibrant Persian inspired cafe with warm, eclectic decor and intimate spaces that invite lingering over breakfast or a book. 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.

The place is so gorgeous on the inside & their drinks are incredible. I got the chicken Koukou sandwich which did not have any flavour so I did not like their food as much.
