Absolutely delicious safron rice with dishes such as chicken skewers, beef, & eggplant beef stew. We were here on New Year's Eve & they had very relaxing live music. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing Persian food! Everything was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. The quality of the ingredients really stands out, & the flavors are authentic & perfectly balanced. The kebabs were tender & delicious, the rice was fragrant & perfectly cooked, & the portions were generous. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the service was attentive & friendly. Definitely one of the best Persian food experiences in Montreal-I'll be coming back for sure!

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I ordered the vegan kebab plate & it was delicious & substantial. My friend ordered the koobideh with an extra skewer of lamb which he devoured & enjoyed very much. The main plates come with soup, salad, grilled tomatoes & rice along with toasted bread. I got an extra side of roasted vegetables with my dish. Very chill & relaxed atmosphere. This restaurant's menu is extensive for various diets. I love this as I was able to eat there as a vegan with no issues & left content rather than hungry. The restaurant & washrooms are clean & the art & decor were beautiful. I couldn't stop lookiing at one painting. Our waiter was lovely & made us feel welcomed. This is a great spot for a date, a night out with family or friends. There were even a few kids that we didn't even notice until we paid. They were so well behaved they could put some adults to shame!

I really enjoyed the koobideh, it was cooked perfectly & tasted amazing. The only thing that could be improved was the rice. Overall, a great experience!

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!

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. The husband & wife that own the place (the wife is also the cook!) are very welcoming & the sweetest. I ordered takeout for a small meal, & the food more than exceeded my expectations. I got the mirza ghasemi with a side of saffron rice & the damnosh tea.

Mirza ghasemi: I don't think any words I use to describe this dish can do it justice. The eggplant was melt-in-your-mouth & had the most amazing grilled/smoky flavor, & it was made even better by the egg. Highly recommend getting this.

Saffron rice: To me, rice is supplementary to a meal & can even be omitted. But this saffron rice could be standalone. The flavor that came from the saffron & the scorchedness...I think my heart stopped a little.

Domnosh: This was such a pleasure to drink. Such delicate flavors & subtly sweet.

The food & drinks here are so good & made with such attention & care. It's really worth checking out.

The food is so good honestly I have nothing negative to say about this place. Love the atmosphere & I love the tahdig rice with the koobideh, their soup is always very delicious. I appreciate they also accommodate for people that fasts & brings cheese, bread & dates so we can break our fast. lovely place!

Good place to bring the family. The lamb shank, fish, & steak were very delicious. The rice was a bit hard, but the atmosphere was great.

This restaurant/experience was simply amazing. The outside does not look very appealing, but DO NOT think twice about it! Once inside, you'll see a very nice & clean looking restaurant. The waitress was very friendly & answered all our questions about Persian food very attentively. The ambiance was really nice. I brought my date here & she loved it. There wasn't too many people around so it was very quiet to converse, & the Persian music was very lovely background. We had their homemade bread which was very light, with two dipping sauces. We ordered the eggplant/onion which was very tasty. My gf had vegetarian shish kebab with rice & I had chicken with barberry. They were both excellent, super hot, & delicious. The portions were perfect so that you were filled. The chicken was very well cooked, but still soft & juicy. We ended with a tea. Service was excellent, food came promptly & was very well presented. We were very impressed & will be definitely be returning. In general, the food was very healthy which was also a plus for us!

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!!
