Tasty authentic Persian food, generous proportions, nicely presented. Caring staff, good service. I'd get rid of the table cloths all together to make the restaurant look brighter. Everything else was perfect!
If you are looking for Persian food in Montreal, this is the place to go. The quality of the food is unbelievably good & the prices are outstanding. I am very satisfied with this place. Highly recommend it.
Certainly one of the best Persian restaurants I've ever tried in North America. Trying it for the first time, I was a bit hesitant...a rate of 4.9 (from 250 reviews seemed a bit suspicious) but I am so glad I came over my doubts & tried it. Gladly & proudly give it a full 5 star rating myself & will certainly will go there again in my next trips to Montreal.
Excellent & worth the small detour. The owner needs to spend a bit more time training service staff. I say this to encourage improvement & contribute to the success of this business. The food quality was very good & I was with two Iranians who know their Persian food. Keep up the great work & best of luck.
I had a truly wonderful experience at this Iranian restaurant. The food was incredibly delicious & healthy, offering the authentic taste of Persian kebabs-better than any other I've tried in Montreal. The prices were very reasonable, & the hospitality of the owners was beyond excellent. They were warm, polite, & made us feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Iranian cuisine with top-notch service!
Amazing food. As a Persian, I can say without a doubt that they have authentic, homemade, traditional Persian dishes from across Iran. Try the Nan kebab, mast mousir, & their Nab tea. Thank me later!!

After a day of walking around downtown & not agreeing on what to eat I was starving & had a headache. This place was next to where I had gotten a massage earlier in the day & said to my son, that's it we're eating here & we're so glad we did! First time having Persian for me but my son has had it with his friends & said this is the best he's had.
We all ordered the Koobideh (beef skewers) that were tender & juicy. & that little triangle bread cooked into the rice was like a drug it was so good. Portion was more than enough.
We also had the eggplant appetizer with the fried onions. It came with a pillowy bread. We devoured it. & finished off with the saffron ice cream which was part creamy but more icy. Very rose scented. I never had it before but definitely interesting.
We enjoyed the decor, the family run business with mom & dad cooking & the son tending to us. He was so nice & helpful. Too bad we live 6 hours away!
A truly beautiful traditional Persian atmosphere that immediately transports you. The food was exceptional. Had one of the best Kashk Bademjan ever & the tender Shishlik was the highlight. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine Persian dining experience!
After a long time I found my favourite Persian Kebab there. Highly recommended!!!!
The portion is enough for a person but a bit increase will make it super perfect.
An exceptional Persian dining experience! The food was not only authentic but bursting with rich, traditional flavors. The service was incredibly warm & welcoming. The setting is charming & cozy, with delightful décor that adds to the overall ambiance. A true hidden gem-highly recommended!
Best persian food i've ever had. 10/10 would definitely recommend & will be back. The staff is very welcoming, the owners are really friendly & portions are massive for the price!
