Café Toranj propose une expérience culinaire distincte centrée sur les saveurs persanes traditionnelles associées aux éléments fondamentaux d’un environnement de café classique. Le menu présente une gamme de plats iraniens authentiques qui mettent en valeur les épices aromatiques, les infusions au safran et les préparations de viandes mijotées. Les clients découvrent une fusion de techniques culinaires robustes du Moyen-Orient parallèlement aux offres de boissons habituelles des cafés locaux. Chaque assiette privilégie des ingrédients de saison préparés pour honorer des recettes héritées de Téhéran et d'ailleurs. La conception intérieure reflète cette synthèse en mélangeant des agencements de sièges confortables avec des marqueurs esthétiques culturels subtils. Cet établissement fonctionne comme une destination principale pour ceux qui recherchent une intersection nuancée entre des rafraîchissements d'inspiration méditerranéenne et des plats persans substantiels servis dans un espace fonctionnel.
Café Toranj est largement reconnu pour sa cuisine perse authentique, savoureuse et joliment présentée, de nombreux clients louant la grande qualité des plats comme le fesenjan, les ragoûts variés et les déjeuners traditionnels. Le restaurant est fréquemment décrit comme un lieu chaleureux et accueillant, souvent mis en valeur par une décoration perse traditionnelle et une musique relaxante, ce qui en fait un choix apprécié pour les rencontres. Bien que la plupart des convives soulignent la nature attentionnée et chaleureuse du personnel, les expériences concernant la qualité du service peuvent être inégales, certains visiteurs ayant rapporté des problèmes de délais ou d'interactions manquant de professionnalisme. Malgré des avis parfois partagés sur le service, le consensus général célèbre cet établissement comme une destination unique et délicieuse qui capture l'essence de la cuisine iranienne faite maison, de nombreux clients exprimant un vif désir d'y retourner.
Absolutely amazing experience! The food quality was outstanding, & every dish reminded me of the authentic flavors of Iran. The atmosphere, decoration, & overall ambiance made me feel like I was back home. Everything was beautifully designed & full of Iranian culture. The staff were very friendly & welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Persian food & a wonderful dining experience. I will definitely come back again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
