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.

I used to love this place. Recently every time I go back the service does not seem the nicest. While I was ordering my breakfast this morning the lady at the cash asked how I'd like my eggs, & I said turned & well done in French since I could not find my words in Farsi, & she said in English that's "over-easy" I said no that does not mean over-easy, long story short she insisted that having your eggs cooked well done is apparently called over-easy with a lot of attitude, constantly repeating herself to prove a point 3 times. Just google over-easy eggs please. That being said the breakfast arrived & we asked if we can have extra bread? Apparently you have to pay for it so they charged us 6.80$ for extra bread for 4 people. Then the bread literally arrives when we are done eating & I said we are done with our food can we just have the credit to buy a tea or something afterwards. They said no you can take your bread to go. At this point it's not my fault that you delivered the bread late it's yours & it's unfair to leave bread for 4 people on the table while their food is done. In general good food but very disappointing service & angry staff.
