This is my new favourite place in the area. An incredible, varied & delicious menu (with great vegetarian + vegan options, a cozy, tasteful & authentic atmosphere, & kind patient service.

This is a great spot to get a Saffron Latte & sit in their comfy couch or tables with a book, to get their awesome cold & hot breakfasts, or to go for a nice dinner.

My friends & I got the Ash Reshteh (specialty soup - delicious), Albaloo Polo (loved the sour cherries with the saffron rubbed chicken), & the Nashtei Cold (breakfast platter).

Price point is reasonable. They have solid wifi (up to 30 mb per second download / 20 upload from where I was seated) which makes it a solid spot to get some work done.

First time here, definitely not the last time. There is clear love & care put into Cafe Restaurant Toranj, & I am wishing them success.

We went to café Toranj for an all ladies gathering/getting together for two birthdays. The food was unbelievably delicious. The portions & the different flavours just came together in such amazing harmony. The mocktails were to die for. One of our guests had 3 of them in one sitting because they were so good. We ordered a mixture of all of the food & nothing was rated last. They were all very tasty. The service was impeccable & very detail oriented. The atmosphere was very cozy & friendly. Our server was very sweet & patient with all of our questions. Overall, it's definitely a place I'd go back to.

Loved this place! The café is beautiful, clean, & very hygienic, with a warm & welcoming staff. Everything we tried, from breakfast to dessert, was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Nargeesi Omelette, Albaloo polo, & the Kadaif Cake. They also have a lovely patio, which is perfect for outdoor seating. Definitely worth a visit!
