Reviews describe Ispahan as a warm and welcoming spot with a vibrant, traditional atmosphere that many feel is like a home away from home. The food is repeatedly praised for freshness, richness, and thoughtful preparation, with particular acclaim for Mirza Ghasemi and other authentic Persian dishes. The dining experience is enhanced by friendly staff and lively entertainment, including belly dancing and a DJ, which many say adds to the fun and makes it a good choice for celebrations and group nights. The ambiance and decor are described as beautiful, contributing to a sense of occasion along with consistently high quality. Some comments note that service can fall short of expectations in an expensive restaurant, and one review suggests it is not the best Persian option in Montreal, but the overall sentiment remains that the combination of flavorful food and engaging atmosphere makes it memorable.
I had the chicken kebab & it was absolutely delicious - perfectly seasoned, juicy, & grilled just right. You can really taste the quality & care in the food. The atmosphere was very warm & welcoming, & the staff were incredibly friendly & attentive. Such a lovely spot to enjoy authentic Persian cuisine. I'll definitely be coming back!
Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience on Yalda Night.
We had purchased $81 tickets & were expecting a special program & proper hospitality for this particular occasion, but almost nothing went according to plan.
• The artistic program, which was announced to start at 8:30 PM, began with a one-hour delay (at 9:30 PM).
• The food was of very poor quality: the koobideh was truly one of the worst I've ever had (it had a strong off smell & no good flavor), & the chicken was completely dry & tasteless.
• The Yalda dessert was just a simple jelly with a few pomegranate seeds ,not at all up to restaurant standards.
• Overall, the hospitality & organization were very weak & disorganized.
Given the ticket price & the special occasion, we expected much more. I hope the restaurant management takes the feedback seriously & improves the quality
We had an amazing time here & honestly enjoyed every minute of it. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the food was absolutely outstanding. The quality of the ingredients really stood out - everything tasted fresh, rich, & thoughtfully prepared. This is genuinely one of the best Iranian restaurants we've ever been to. You can feel the passion behind the food. Highly recommended, & we'll definitely be back!
On a passé une excellente soirée chez Ispahan. L'accueil était chaleureux & le service vraiment attentionné. La viande était incroyable : super tendre & surtout parfaitement assaisonnée, pleine de saveurs, exactement comme il faut. Gros coup de coeur aussi pour l'entrée Mirza Ghasemi : un pur délice, on l'a littéralement dévorée. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter on y retournera, c'est sûr.
We were a group on 10 ladies (50+) who dined here this evening (Sat). The food & ambiance were top shelf. We were well received & didn't expect to have so much fun - from Belly dancer to DJ all in one night. Come for the quality food, stay for the fun.
Not the best Persian restaurant you can find in Montreal, but it's a nice place run by a very lovely family & specially a lady who is always has a nice positive vibe & asking everyone about their food & service quality. Dj is very nice guy (Abtin) & in some special events another lovely Dj ( Nastaran) who she is professional & highly educated. Don't miss live Arabic dance performance by a lovely Moroccan dancer.
