If you're in Montreal & craving authentic Persian food, this gem is an absolute must-visit. The combination of mouthwatering dishes & sweet, attentive service makes it a standout in a city full of great options. Highly recommend! It's rare to find a restaurant where both the quality of food & the kindness of the people are equally exceptionaI. We had family dinner & went back the next day for breakfast.

❤?🤍💚A Remarkable Transformation with Unforgettable Flavors!

After spending 10 years in Vancouver, I found myself in Montreal & craving a taste of authentic, home-cooked cuisine. I recently ordered Ghorme Sabzi & Chelo Mahiche, & the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Every bite of the Ghorme Sabzi burst with deep, well-balanced flavors, & the Chelo Mahiche was so tender & perfectly prepared-it truly captured the essence of traditional cooking.

The new family management has revitalized this restaurant with a personal touch & genuine care for quality. Their commitment to excellence is evident in every detail, & it's clear they are passionate about preserving the authenticity of these classic dishes. To the owner & the entire team: thank you for restoring the magic of this place. Your dedication has not only satisfied my cravings but also reminded me of why I fell in love with good food in the first place.

I'm honored to share my experience & look forward to many more memorable meals here.

Good authentic persian food. Ash (soup) & Safran ice cream are a must. Main dishes not as tasty as expected. The menu is a little limited. Too bad they don't offer a wider choice of those celebrated iranian stews (fessenjoon & many others). The setting is small & nice. The large TV screen is a turn off for me... Price range is OK but limit towards the quality offered. Will come back, but still am looking for that real persian home taste.

We had a BD party. The only thing that we like is the ambiance - calm & authentic.. for this the resto get 1+ stars from 5....
First of all when we choose from the menu & wanted to order the waiter said that we're missing this, that & so on..She was very aggressive from the beginning, the food was not as described in the menu & rice was totally cold. I ordered "beef stew goulash with beans" there were 2 small pieces of meat - 1 beef & another one chicken!.... when waiter asked why there is a chicken in beef stew she couldn't explain & seemed very mad that we asked.... My friend order "white fish"... they served salmon.... when we told her that this is not a white fish again she was very mad... Another friend ordered the same like me, the beef stew, it was just 1 piece of meat- chicken with skin!.......... also, There were small bones in the salmon....
Dessert: I didn't want too complicate i said - ICEcream... pretty clear... what I received it was some different dessert kind of ice cream but with nuts! I'm allergic to nuts, I didn't asked (forgot the name) I just said icecream & they decide to bring me the one that more expensive...
BILLS: Our friend had total for food 19$... they calculate somehow taxes & 15% tip (by default) & somehow his bill went up to 44$!!!!!!!!!!! 200% tips WTH they said- ooops mistake... but for the rest people they just add 15% tip by default... but the service was terrible! it wasn't mentioned that the tip is by default if we are group more than 7 people..... she said it when we asked why she added 15% tip.... HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! AVOID!!
