Amazing! Love the place! Service is amazing too, kind people ~♡ Food is great!
This Persian café feels like home. The food is delicious & comforting, just like homemade dishes. The brunch is always amazing, & the teas are truly exceptional. A cozy spot that keeps you coming back.
We hosted our Book Club meeting there last Friday & were very happy with our choice. Cute ambiance, great food, great service!
Just had a tea it was awesome,
Toujours bien de venir ici boire un thé,
Cuisine succulante & service 5 étoile, nous avions l'impression d'avoir voyagé en Iran l'espace de quelques instants surtout avec une belle décoration intérieur. Je recommande !
Fast (10min) delicious food with nice presentation in a pretty atmosphere (relaxing clean terrace, welcoming & sweet staff). Couldn't ask for a more ideal lunch break. I had the eggplant ragout (Fessenjan) & I plan on coming back to try more vegetarian options :) the first time I stepped in here just to look at the menu, the woman at the counter gave me a yummy Persian smoothie sampler. They have vegan gluten-free pastries.
Edit/ returned to try the kashkbademjan, another eggplant & yogurt dish, & it was incredible. Came back again to have the smoked eggplant omelette with the parfumerie de la vie tea & it was really nice. Sekanjebine & concombre drink was really good. Matcha smoothie was good. I had the do piazeh (potato dish) recently & it was delish. The berry pistachio omelette was simple but well done with subtle Persian flavour. Will defs keep coming back. Came back & had the smoked eggplant omelette & it was so good!
We tried the lamb shank & fesenjoon at Café Toranj & really enjoyed our meal. The lamb shank was good, tender, & nicely cooked. The highlight for us was the fesenjoon, which was amazing. It had the perfect balance of sweet & sour flavors, rich & comforting, just the way traditional fesenjoon should taste. Overall, a very satisfying experience & a great place for Persian food.
Even one star is too much for this restaurant. We went there yesterday, & I ordered Ash Reshteh while my husband ordered Mirza Ghasemi. Both dishes were awful. The Ash Reshteh did not include kashk, & it was not fresh at all, it tasted very bad. We were there with our friends, & we were all unhappy with the food quality
The Mirza Ghasemi was very bad. The eggplant was not grilled at all & tasted like it was from a can. The dish was not well cooked & not well prepared
We were at Toranj last night to celebrate Yalda. The food was perfect. The fesenjoon, albaloo polo, ghanbar polo, & aash were delicious-just like homemade cooking. The staff are truly kind & joyful, & they do their work with love. I really appreciate it. I wish I lived nearby so I could come every day.
We had lunch at this café & really enjoyed it. The coolest part was the unique main dishes on the menu. Even as a persian, it was my first time trying Gham-bar Polo Shirazi, & I loved the slightly sweet taste. Gheimeh Nesar was another great choice. The main dishes also come with a small yogurt on the side.
Second visit & it won't be my last. Very nice place, food & service.
One of my favorites in Montreal! Amazing food service & atmosphere!
Amazing food! Very friendly staff!!
Very comfortable setting, 4 people are very well!!
Excellent & delicious Persian food & tea! Good service with a pleasantly warm atmosphere. I highly recommend.
Omlet Date was excellent. The Nashtaei 3 came with Bandari, which was a great choice. The customer service was polite & friendly, & the atmosphere was cozy & warm.
They offer two types of cake; that's a must-try.
