Aunja, a quaint Iranian restaurant in Montreal, presents an intriguing mix of promising flavors but is unfortunately marred by service & logistical issues. During our recent brunch visit, we ordered an Americana coffee, ginger tea, & a Snowman Kiss. For food, we went with the lentil soup, sausage omelette, & melted cheese omelette. While the food was delicious & rich in flavor, the overall experience left much to be desired. The service & the layout of the place require a major overhaul. Despite reserving a table in advance, we were surprised to learn that we had to pay for our orders upfront before being seated. Worse yet, it took nearly an hour to receive our drinks & an additional hour to finally get our food. There also seemed to be serious operational gaps, with staff frequently stepping out to fetch condiments & supplies from a sister company nearby. This created a disjointed atmosphere, leaving us with the sense that the restaurant was ill-prepared for its customers. All in all, though the food was enjoyable, the long waits & chaotic service took away from the dining experience, leading to a 2 out of 5 stars rating.
