Review Summary

Overall, Café Toranj is described as a cozy, elegant spot offering authentic Persian cuisine in a warm, welcoming atmosphere with décor that blends traditional Persian elements and modern touches. Dishes range from flavorful kebabs and traditional stews like ghormeh sabzi and fesenjan to specialties such as albaloo polo and gheimeh bademjan, with rice prepared in the Persian style rather than basmati and desserts that showcase saffron and rose flavors. Live Iranian music on Saturday nights and a menu that includes heartwarming classics create a lively, culturally rich experience. Service is praised for friendliness and attentiveness, although some visits report slower service and occasional price concerns. Many reviewers highlight generous portions, homemade flavors, and the option to enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, making Café Toranj feel like a versatile destination. Certain dishes such as Bandari or Ghambarpolo have disappointed some guests on occasion, but others praise the kebabs for being juicy and well grilled. Overall, the atmosphere, décor, and authentic Persian cuisine position Café Toranj as a standout choice among Persian restaurants in the city.

The food quality is good; we ordered ash reshteh & kashko bademjoon for starters & koobideh & jooje kebab for the main course. However, the main dish arrived at the same time as the starter, forcing us to set aside the starter to focus on the main course. Typically, the main dish should be served after the starter is finished. The smell of propane gas is very noticeable & annoying upon entering the restaurant. Another point to mention is the music. I'd prefer constant background music in a restaurant rather than 30-second snippets of different songs, which an employee keeps changing from one style to another. It's a bit annoying & unprofessional. I'll be back to enjoy some Persian food again, & I hope to have a better experience next time.

Iranian food can be a bit sour for my taste buds, but it was a very unique restaurant, with live Persian music & flavorful entrées.

So good! Love the service & the food is some of the best i've had in Montréal. ...If i could suggest something: the lighting could be dimmer to make the evenings feel more beautiful. & Persian music would be sublime.

Delicious options. The rice was amazing, loved the Ghaymeh Bademjan, the Fesenjan, & the Ghormeh Sabzi. I know that the food was microwaved & wish they had been more thorough as the food near the bottom of the bowls was cold. Overall it was a delight. Lots of good options. Look forward to to trying them again.
