Ils n'ont pas tous les plats du menu, le service est lent, on nous a servis un verre d'eau à l'entrée & puis plus rien..pour 80$ j'aurais fait un festin chez moi, donc je ne recommande pas
Très belle expérience pour découvrir la cuisine perse.

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!
Dined here for my third time recently, & as in the previous occasions,
Yas did not disappoint. I preface the herein review by admitting that I'm partial to Persian cuisine: the freshness, spices, tastes & complexities of the cuisine appeal to me. More particular to Yas, the Must-o-khiar & must-o-mussir are tasty, & while the hummus does not compare to those of the Lebanese variant, the mirza ghasemi is one of the better of such plates I've eaten locally. The chicken dishes were of good quality & appetizingly presented, & the pricing was fair in comparison to other Persian fine dining establishments.
The restaurant is quaint, if close-quartered, & makes for a romantic evening. Service is friendly, professional & prompt. All-in-all, an enjoyable, exotic experience.
The best Persian restaurant I have ever been to! I have been to several which include Cartier Perse & Persia & I am so happy to have discovered Yas as the other ones I have mentioned do not come close to the quality of food & customer service I experienced at Yas. Anyone who lives in Montreal should come try this place- I only have amazing things to say! Best new experience!
I ate there for my birthday dinner with my family. The service was great & the food was fantastic! Ate a lot of delicious foods for a reasonable price & even got a birthday song with some very tasty desserts! Can't wait to go back there again & I highly recommend it!
Woow:What a amazing night.We had in YAS restaurant .We were 6 people & the food was awesome, excellent & very good service especially the food that I like was KHORESHT FESENJON & LAMP SHANK with basmati rice. At the end we had for dessert BASTANI (safferan ice cream mix with pestach)
Nous sommes allés deux fois a ce restaurant pour des diners de fête (la première fois c'était au mois de mai 2012, la deuxième le 12 octobre 2013). Nous avons apporté notre propre vin & gâteau d'anniversaire. Le service a été extrêmement courtois & patient (surtout vu la taille de notre groupe). Le décor est magnifique & l'ambiance très chaleureuse. Nous avons essayé les différentes entrées & plats principaux; ils sont tous préparés avec beaucoup d'attention, mais l'agneau mérite une mention spéciale, c'est un des meilleurs que j'ai jamais gouté. J'y retournerai avec plaisir & je le recommande a tout le monde. Je ne m'attendais pas a un si bon restaurant dans ce quartier!
