Café Parfums de Perse offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that blends Persian culture with a modern, cozy cafe vibe, where Persian latte, pistachio and saffron cakes, baklava and other desserts are frequently highlighted as heavenly and beautifully presented. Dishes such as Dizi Abgoosht, Baghali Polo with lamb shank, Fesenjan, Mirza Ghasemi and Ghormeh Sabzi showcase authentic flavors and thoughtful preparation, often described as homemade and comforting, with guests noting generous portions and a family run staff that makes visitors feel welcomed. The place is also loved for its games and board games that invite lingering, and for a vibe that feels like a home away from home. While the ambiance and hospitality are consistently praised, some comments mention higher prices for desserts and certain menu items, occasional inconsistency in taste, and a need for improvements in service during busy times.
wonderful owner, very welcoming & warm. They have multiples vegetarian options for meals. Very filling. The labneh was delicious & enhanced the flavour so much. The persian fog was a bit subtle in flavour for my taste, but it was made with a lot of love. The place has a lot of board games available for people to enjoy, & they also offer alcoholic drinks too. i think it would be a cute date spot. Have yet to try their desserts but they look delicious so i will definitely come back!
I don't usually write reviews, but I felt this experience needed to be shared. I came to meet friends who had already been told that outside food wasn't allowed. We respected the rule, & every single person in the group ordered something, drinks, cakes, or both.
Despite that, we felt watched the entire time. The owner's reaction to a small piece of baklava in a tupperware created an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere that overshadowed the fact that we were paying customers. The constant angry staring from behind the counter made us feel unwelcome rather than appreciated.
We ended up leaving early & continuing our meetup elsewhere. Unfortunately, this isn't a place I plan to return to.

We were a big group. Everyone ordered either coffee or type of dessert of both. One friend had a small Tupperware of homemade baklava. When she invited us to take one small piece of baklava each, they come saying we are not allowed to eat anything not from their place!! Even that we all already ordered from their place!!
We didn't bring a big dessert like a big cake or something & we didn't request any empty plates or utensils from them!! The friend just invited us to take a small piece of baklava each by hand!
Greedy! I will not come back!

This place has a really great atmosphere if you like Persian culture. The Music, decoration & the smell in the air, took me right back to my country.
We tried Halim Bademjan, followed by two Persian tea, & a super delicious Baklava Cake, that I think was the best part of the our evening. It was so good that we bought two more to take home & eat later.
The owners are super warm & kind.
Delightful! The pistachio cake is a touch pricey, but it does taste divine. Persian latte is so pretty & creamy, not too sweet. Walnut Baklava is nice!
We had a wonderful experience at this Iranian café-restaurant. We've been there several times & tried different dishes, including the Dizi (Abgoosht), Baghali Polo with lamb shank, & Fesenjan, & every single dish was absolutely delicious. The food tastes authentic & is clearly prepared with great care & quality ingredients.
The atmosphere is beautiful & very warm, with a charming Persian style that makes the place feel special & welcoming. The service is also excellent-the staff regularly checks in to make sure everything is perfect, which makes you feel very well taken care of.
We also tried their cakes, & they were outstanding. The desserts were fresh, beautifully presented, & truly delicious.
Overall, we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Iranian food in a lovely & cozy atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back again!
