Very nice location for a good brunch. Terrasse was pretty nice too. Food was excellent & warm. Bread was a little overcooked or stale, hard to chew at any rate.
What a great discovery! We stopped by in a rush in the morning. It was 9h30, & they were not even open, but the guy let us in & served us coffee. I had the almond/pistacchio latte, & it was one of the best lattes I've had in a while!
We went back later after our appointment for ?lunch. The food was simply amazing, tasted delicious, a generous portion, well made, tasted like homemade food but very well presented. My mom had a colorful rice & lamb, & I had the celery/mint lamb. Both were delicious.
The desserts were also very good.
The service was great, & the server was very friendly.
I highly recommend the place for coffee & lunch.

Un café iranien exceptionnel à Montréal, Café Toranj, qui m'a invité à un véritable voyage en Iran. Dès que je suis entré, l'accueil chaleureux du personnel, l'ambiance conviviale & la musique traditionnelle iranienne ont créé une atmosphère unique. Chaque bouchée des plats, en particulier des khoreshs (ragoûts) savoureux, m'a transporté aux quatre coins de l'Iran avec des saveurs authentiques & inoubliables. La gestion est excellente & a amélioré le service, le rendant bien meilleur qu'avant. Une expérience culinaire, un voyage culturel à ne pas manquer !

Iranian food, Farsi culture. The food was generous & tasty. The quality & selection of tea is outstanding. Service is so very friendly. The atmosphere is eclectic & funky. The food is Iranian, (so don't expect egg rolls or hamburgers) & may seem unfamiliar to many, but the pride of the service & yearning to share their culture makes for a very soft landing as you stretch your horizons. The food is not cheap, but is all high quality & certainly of fair value all things considered.
Really lovely atmosphere & the food is very good. The only downside is that it is quite expensive compared to cafes around but its worth a try if you live around & want to try something different!
Unique spot, incredible food, the Persian omelette was like no egg dish I've ever had before. Very welcoming, cozy, neighborhood, artsy vibe. Staff had the right balance of serving you & leaving you be. Books abound if you like reading with your meal. Brunch served til 4pm every day. Highly recommended.
