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.
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!

Went with my girlfriend, we both liked the food. large portions. Staff were friendly. Would recommend. It cost around $45 for us to have a full meal with coffee.
J'adore cette place, nous sommes allés avec mon copain pour avoir une expérience de brunch différent, & c'était vraiment cool. J'avais jamais essayée de la cuisine persienne, mais j'étais toujours curieuse. Il y a une brunch avec caviar, çà c'est tout à dire 😩. L'ambiance, la cuisine & la musique faisaient de cette place une très bonne souvenir pour quelqu'un la visite. Recommandé 100/10, différent & tout une expérience.
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🥰
We were four friends getting together for a long overdue brunch. The food was delicious in that way where you can be totally happy with your menu choice but you still kind of wish you could have what your friends ordered too. One friend got there late & consequently ordered long after our - & other - tables had put in their requests. The server correctly predicted that our friend's meal would arrive long after we would receive ours so he offered the opportunity to change the order to something less time-consuming to make. I thought that was a very thoughtful thing to do, so props to the staff for their proactive offer. We all had a great time, chatting & noshing as friends do. I had & totally recommend the Nashtaei #3 - a sausage & tomato stew served with yummy saffron-coloured potatoes, eggs, pickles, & other yums. The Melrose platter across the table from me looked pretty amazing too. Maybe I'll try that dish next.

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 ++++
One of the orders was missed so that I had to call the cafe, & finally to fix the inconsistencies they sent me an additional meal. The manager's approach was considerated & I am satisfied in total. Also, the quality of the foods are truly good so I recommend the Toranj cafe.
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.
Really nice & cozy place to either have a great meal or just coffee & dessert. I love the ambiance & the service is always with a smile. I highly recommend this place 👍

I ate the lamb neck & fessenjoun & I've previously tried the Revani. The food here is the best I've had in this city in a long time, & I love to eat & eat well. The lamb, especially, was straight from my childhood & the flavor was really beyond description. I ate lunch at the Ritz recently & the food here was light-years ahead of that. It is real home cooking but so refined. My new favorite restaurant & one everyone absolutely must try. I cannot recommend it enough. Also the rice is perfect :)
