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.

I ordered dessert & tea, but both were average. The portions felt especially small. At these prices, you expect something more filling & higher quality. The décor of the place is nice, but it's not worth coming just for that. Overall, it wasn't a satisfying experience.

We went to this place right after dining in their restaurant next door!
Atmosphere & the design - just like the restaurant- is well thought & resembling Iranian culture & heritage.
We have ordered a dessert called Freni, which was very delicious. Followed up by ginger tea, persian fog & some classic black tea. All well presented & proportionate. Saffron cake was also delicious!

A café with a distinctly Persian vibe! The décor is completely Iranian! it honestly felt like I had stepped into a café in Tehran. The menu is very professionally designed & offers appealing items for both Iranians & non-Iranians alike. The staff were kind & welcoming.
I had a Persian Fog !it was tea latté with lovely saffron aroma. My friends also enjoyed their orders. I'll definitely be coming back next time for breakfast

We had a lovely experience at this Persian café.
We started with black tea & saffron cake - the cake had a rich flavor without being overwhelming. The Persian fog was also very good. One of the highlights for me was the ferni; it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, & incredibly satisfying. The ginger tea was well-prepared too. Highly recommended

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

Cafe Aunja is truly one of the most unique & charming cafes in Montreal. From the moment you walk in, you feel transported into a warm, cozy space filled with Persian culture, beautiful details, & a relaxing atmosphere.
The drinks are exceptional especially the famous Persian Fog, which is unlike anything else in the city. The food is fresh, flavorful, & thoughtfully prepared, the saffron cake & lentil soup are absolute must tries.
The service is warm & welcoming, with a well organized system where you order at the counter & everything is brought to your table. Even when it gets busy, the team remains attentive & kind, making sure guests feel comfortable throughout their visit.
Overall, Cafe Aunja is not just a cafe it's an experience. A little piece of Persian warmth in the heart of Montreal.

Very cozy space. The tea latte is a bit pricey but very good.

The brunch was ok. It gets busy in the afternoons, so finding a table on weekends can be tricky. I like the cozy decoration, though it can get noisy when crowded. I especially enjoyed the desserts with their teas.
