Lovely little Persian cafe serving homemade desserts & specialty coffees. The inviting atmosphere, friendly staff & unique beverage options like "baklava lattes" make this an excellent choice for a break.
Très bon Persian fog accompagné de succulentes pâtisseries. À noter, les plats traditionnels de la cuisine perse sont aussi goûteux qu'en Iran. Pour y avoir été expatrié plusieurs années, nous y retrouvons le bon goût des ragoût & brochettes avec la même gentillesse d'accueil.
I really love this place, last time we got the pistachio cake & the pistachio ice cream & they were SO GOOD!!! I also love that you can play board games while enjoying their drinks. I'd love to try their food next time!!

Beautiful Persian cafe near old port & downtown Montreal. Interior decorations are absolutely stunning & give me a sense of being at home in Iran. Vibes were immaculate here, 10/10. The cakes are all made in house & they were so fresh & delicious. Staff are also very friendly & happy to answer any questions. Come give them a visit!
Amazing saffron & pistachio ice cream, saffron latte was balanced & good too! Will definitely try the cakes on my next visit! We sat outside, very nice ambience. Totally Recommend & very friendly staff
Very friendly staff! They offered us a Persian cold drink while we were waiting to get a table. We tried pistachio cake & black tea, also tried the Saffron pistachio ice cream, very tasty 😊 I hope upstairs will be open soon!

This was one of the best experiences I've had at a Persian café in Montreal. The venue is fully accessible & accommodating for people with disabilities & those using assistive devices. The accessible washroom was a particularly nice touch. The café also features a charming patio & a cozy indoor ambiance. I visited on a rainy day & arrived much earlier than my scheduled meeting with a friend. Despite being a first-time customer, I was treated like an old friend. The quality of the coffee, tea, & food was excellent, & the prices were very reasonable. I tried their Persian coffee, Persian tea, & mirza ghasemi, all of which were delightful. What stood out most to me was their hospitality-they had no issue with me sitting there for a couple of hours before my friend arrived. They ensured I was comfortable, even providing access to a power outlet so I could work on my laptop. They struck the perfect balance between attentive care & giving me the privacy I needed to feel at ease. They even went above & beyond by assisting me to the washroom, which I found incredibly considerate. When I thanked them, they responded warmly, saying, "Don't mention it; we're here for you." This is definitely a place I'll be returning to, & I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Persian food, a warm ambiance, & an accessible space in the heart of Old Port Montreal.
One of the best restaurants in Montreal. The food was very delicious & the staff service was very friendly & warm. I strongly recommend that you go to this restaurant & try the dishes of northern Iran.
Such a beautiful little gem in the city. I was so kindly & warmly welcomed, I took the pistachio cake .. oh my god . So delicious & low sugar, that's amazing ! Thank you
This place was such a delight. If you're going to the Vieux Port de Montréal, I suggest starting here. Lots of street parking. Super kind, friendly, & generous service, reflective of Persian hospitality. We were made to feel right at home, including our pup 😍 The decor is lovely; they have an upstairs & a street terrace. The Persian latte is absolutely delicious! The pistachio cake is very comforting & clearly homemade. They also have meals & lots of sweets & drinks to choose from. Would return
