The atmosphere was amazing! The cafe is so beautifully decorated with Persian art & furniture. The food was so good, everything was insanely aromatic. The tea is absolutely wonderful: perfect flavour & perfect presentation. The service was impeccable. The whole place feels very welcoming.
Le personnel du Café est bien sympa & accueillant, l'atmosphère très chaleureuse, les repas sont succulents & surtout madame Shadi est très généreuse. Un café pas comme les autres.

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 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.
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.
I visited Café Toranj with my mom, & it was our very first experience with Persian cuisine. The food was absolutely exquisite - full of flavor & beautifully presented. The service was outstanding, attentive without being intrusive, & the ambience of the restaurant made the whole evening feel special. I highly recommend Café Toranj & look forward to returning often!

I've been to this café several times, including twice recently - once with my parents about two weeks ago, & the last time by myself when I happened to be passing by. Each visit has been an amazing experience. The food, service, & ambiance are all wonderful. It's the kind of place where you can sit, read, & enjoy the music at your own pace.
Last time, I tried their fesenjoon & it was absolutely delicious. The mirza ghasemi was also excellent. made traditionally with barbecued eggplant, giving it that rich, smoky flavor I love.
The couple who own the café are both incredibly friendly, & their warmth really reminded me of home. I'll definitely be going back!
I had a mixed experience in this restaurant & actually thought that I will not write this review. Because of the several negative comments concerning the bad service I thought that I would like to share my story.
We were happy to enter the cafe. The staff seemed to be friendly & both gave us a table quickly & took up our order quite quickly as well. The interior of the cafe made us feel comfortable & relaxed.
While we were eating the food (most of it was quite good, except of the mirza ghasemi, which tasted odd because they probably barbecued the eggplant) we heard that one of the waiters was speaking about us.
She was commenting on how much we were eating & if we really want to eat even more or if we are going to explode soon. Then she started laughing & continued to comment on us & laughed again. Maybe she forgot that we also speak Persian & could understand what she was saying to her friend?
My wife then got upset & after we payed the bill she decided to confront her. The waiter acted as if she didn't know what we meant, but it didn't seem credible to be honest. We apologised & left.
The owner of the restaurant listened to the whole thing & then followed us on the street & asked what was wrong. He listened & apologised & didn't seem surprised about his wife's behaviour. He seemed to be an extremely nice & honourable person to be fair.
What I also found quite unprofessional was that many people were waiting to be seated or to place an order while she was sitting besides some guests & making plans about her weekend. Some people came & ordered at the counter then.
I don't know if I recommend going. They have vegetarian & vegan options which are rare to find in Persian restaurants. But if you go out to have a nice time you don't want something like that to happen. Decide for yourself what you think is tolerable to you.
I would probably give this cafe another chance because the owner seems to be a kind & honest person. I am somehow also leaving this comment so that these kind of things do not happen again because I wish these guys all the best for creating such a place away from home.
Pretty Iranian café. The service was attentive & friendly. I had the hot breakfast #1 & the quantity of food was very generous. It's priced right in my opinion & the flavors were great. Ambiance was decent, Iranian music played in the background. I recommend.
Always an absolute delight! From the appetizers to the coffees, smoothies, breakfast & meals. This café is an absolute gym. It is a little taste of the Middle East in NDG. The service is impeccable, the food is heavenly, & the tea is exotic & luxurious. & arrive early so you can find yourself a nice antique wing chair by the window.

This has to be one of my top 3 cafes in Montreal!! The service, the ambiance, the culture, it's just amazing. I'm here once a month at the least, so I highly recommend. The nashtei is my top pick, my friend said « this meal changes lives »
I recently visited Cafe Toranj with a friend & I had such a fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, I felt like royalty! The atmosphere was warm & inviting, with a cozy vibe that made it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The staff is incredibly friendly & attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed & more! I truly felt catered to!
The food was absolutely delicious, & the Zéphyr dish was a standout! Full of vibrant flavors, fresh ingredients, & perfectly balanced! It was a true delight! Every bite was a treat, & I could tell the dish was made with care & attention to detail. The coffee was also fantastic, rounding off the experience beautifully.
If you want to feel pampered while enjoying amazing food, I highly recommend Cafe Toranj.
I can't wait to return for more of their incredible dishes!
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 !

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!
My visit to Toranj Café was exceptional. The Persian ambiance, warm hospitality, & stunning presentation made the experience unforgettable. The dishes were not only visually appealing but packed with flavor-standouts included the Fesenjoon with pomegranate & walnut sauce, & the crispy tahdig rice. Every dish was seasoned to perfection & beautifully plated. The staff were attentive & offered great recommendations, making the meal even more enjoyable. If you're looking for authentic Persian cuisine in Montreal, Toranj Café is the place to go. Highly recommended!
Le lieu demande une période mise-à- jour. Malgré qu'il y a des fauteuil, soit qu'on les nettoyé à Valérie ou on les remplacent. L'autre pourrait être clarifiée. Il y a des années de plusieurs saveurs suggèrent dans l'air. Malgré tout cela, Toramj demeure un beau petit café authentique. La nourriture est toujours délicieuse & très bien présentée. Ce sont les petites touches qui la rendent alexis comme la tête de prétoire rose dans une tasse de verre pour le thé vert. Les personnes qui servent sont aimables & très bien.
Really delicious & simple meals that come out in style. I tried the Gheimeh Nesar Ageau which is a lamb rice plate with middle eastern dried fruits & spices. It was really fresh & tasted homemade. Not too strong of a flavor, it was delicious though. & then i also tried for the first time a saffron decaf latte with soy milk. It was a bit earthier & richer taste them coffee on is own. It just masked all the sweetness & made the coffee taste more mature to my palette. It was really good! This Iranian/Persian cafe is beautifully designed & perfect for hanging out or a date & to have Turkish coffee, tea, share plates & desserts & more. One small note is that there is some cleaning that could be done & service is not so attentive... you will have to get up & ask to be waited on. Also, plates are a bit pricey, but they are filling. My plate could've fed two easily.
Déjeuner : bacon difficile à mastiquer, fromage jaune sec & étrange, pas de sel & de poivre mis sur la table (la serveuse restait à la cuisine, je donc attendu, un certain temps, j'ai dû attirer sont attention ) dispendieux pour 20$ ( pas de tranche de pain inclu ) patate bouillie, pomme non coupée dans un bol. On me parle juste en anglais. Le point positif, c'est que le café est très bon. Décor pittoresque & sympathique 😅pas fait pour déjeunée ( déçu )
