Dans l'ensemble, Café Toranj est décrit comme un café persan chaleureux et accueillant, avec une belle décoration et une ambiance cosy, où la nourriture est souvent louée pour ses saveurs riches et authentiques, ses épices aromatiques et ses portions généreuses, avec des plats phares comme le fesenjoon, le gigot d'agneau et le ghambar polo, ainsi que des options végétariennes; le thé et les desserts récoltent des éloges et le service est jugé attentif et chaleureux par beaucoup, même si certaines visites signalent un service plus lent ou inégal et quelques maladresses; l'ambiance, la musique live et les brunchs ajoutent à son attrait, faisant de cet endroit un choix populaire pour les rencontres et les repas réconfortants.
Had heard a lot about this place, known for the best persian food in the area. The chicken rice dish is supposed to be the most famous, so we tried that, & the eggplant platter, which was okay. But the bread that came along was really tasty. We did find the yogurt sauce with rice was less, & when we asked for more, they didn't have it. Overall, it was an amazing experience, will definitely go again.
This is a hidden gem. They have great pricing. Great! Fresh food & juices. Breakfast & fresh squeezed juice Persian style. Amazing! I'm definitely going back again & again if you haven't tried a must go. Almost forgot their breakfast is really good & affordable.
I went to Toranj with my Persian friends. It is one of the best Persian places in Montreal. They have some of the most famous Iranian dishes but it is a bit pricey for some people & some choices. My friends ordered the traditional soup. I ordered saffron rice topped with cranberries, some almonds, & small chunks of meat (they were a few) with a very small bowl that has yoghurt & cucumber. I would prefer if the yoghurt salad was a bit bigger so I can enjoy the dish more as I do not like to eat dry rice without sauce or salad. The rose-saffron drink was nice & I was so nostalgic while drinking it. The decorations are so authentic & traditional. You can find some Persian products that you can buy. The waiter was nice & responsive. The washroom is a bit small but clean generally. They have good sweets (saffron cake especially) & other hot & cold drinks. I recommend trying this place & enjoy the delicious Persian food🥰
I have never had Persian food before & I'm also picky, so take my review with a grain of salt. I did like the food, it was amazing portions, very fresh & tasted good. I ordered a soup (Ash Reshteh) which wasn't my favorite. I think it was the dill. I also had do piazeh (the potatoes). Those were pretty good. Kind of reminded me in texture of potato salad, but a different taste. I also had gheimeh nesar (saffron rice with beef). This was my favorite of all the dishes. It has a really unique flavor with the chopped berries, pistachios, spices & everything. & the last dish I had was gham-bar polo shirazi which is like meatballs & rice with nuts & a lot of raisins. It's good but very sweet. I didn't expect that. It was my second favorite. It also came with a good portion of fluffy bread which i think was supposed to go with the soup. It also came with (i think) sour cream for the main dishes & a cup of cherry tomatoes, olives & pickles. I don't like sour cream or anything pickled so i can't speak for that, but my husband liked it. All in all, i think it you like Persian food you'd like it a lot. I liked it ok. I did agree with the person who said it's better with salt. Edit: I had some of the leftovers the next day & I liked it even more. It's hard to describe because the flavor combinations are so new to me. I will definitely order it again. It's a very satisfying & yummy meal. P.s. I went back & I ordered a similar rice dish to Gheimeh Nesar called Morasa polo. It's got chicken instead of beef. I LOVED it! I wish ordered more Do piazeh. Everything was just as good & I actually tried the white sauce that I thought was sour cream. It's not sour cream. LOL I don't know what it's called but it's very creamy & mild, not sour or tangy or garlicky. It was really nice & unique. Highly recommend ++++
I had a very disappointing experience at cafe Toranj. We went for breakfast & we were the first ones to arrive. I ordered a Persian breakfast, but they brought me a wrong one. My friends had to eat without me while I waited for my correct order. The waitress did not apologize or offer any compensation for the mistake. He was unprofessional. It seemed like he did not care about his job or the customers. I suggest that if you do not like your job, you should quit. I do not recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a nice brunch. About the brunch: The portion was good enough. It tasted delicious I only took picture of my friends's omelette.

Very nice, quaint, local business. We loved the Persian baklava & qottab & the coconut cookie. We also got a saffron latte that was very good, the saffron was great. Finally, the Nutella milkshake, which was delicious too. The staff are all very nice & speak Farsi & the ambiance was nice & calm too.
