Très décevant. La nourriture n'était vraiment pas bonne. On aurait dit du riz réchauffé au micro-ondes. Dès que nous avons passé la commande, nous avons clairement entendu le micro-ondes partir, & ce à deux reprises pour nos deux plats.
En plus, la cuisinière était assise juste derrière nous pendant tout le souper, ce qui rendait l'ambiance très malaisante.
Payer environ 40 $ pour deux plats manifestement réchauffés au micro-ondes est extrêmement décevant.
Autre point négatif : aucun service en français, seulement en anglais, ce qui est surprenant pour un restaurant à Montréal.
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 !
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!
Absolutely perfect! The food was fresh, delicious, & full of flavor. The staff were friendly, attentive, & made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, making the whole experience even better. Toranj Restaurant has definitely become one of my favorite places, & I can't wait to come back again. Highly recommended!
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.

Absolutely delicious food! The flavors were rich & authentic, & everything was so fresh. The saffron cake was incredibly moist & full of flavor - paired perfectly with the tea. The service was also wonderful - warm, attentive, & welcoming. Toranj is a great spot for anyone craving quality Persian cuisine. Highly recommend!
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.
We visited this Iranian brunch spot & had a great experience. The place was cozy & welcoming, & the food was fresh & well-prepared.
We tried two dishes:
Nashtaei 2 - A mix of potato pudding (Do Piazeh), lentil soup, a Persian-style omelette, & pinto beans, served with tea or coffee. Everything was flavorful & comforting.
Nashtaei 3 - A savory plate with sausage & tomato mixture (Bandari), boiled eggs, potato pudding (Do Piazeh), & pinto beans, also paired with tea or coffee.
The service was friendly & excellent, & the restaurant had a relaxed atmosphere & cozy ambience.
One thing we missed was the saffron ice cream, but we'll definitely be back to try it.
If you enjoy good food with rich flavors, this place is worth a visit! Highly recommended.

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 »
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.
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!
Thank you for such an amazing experience!
