Si vous y allez pour l'ambiance, gentillesse & bonne soirée c'est le ce que vous allez avoir. Mais si vous cherchez vraiment du traditionnel & authentique a la cuisine d'origine c'est quelque peu décevant.

Nous sommes aller un midi, l'accueil était au top, le propriétaire était aux soins & très gentil.

Les viandes en grillades n'étaient pas disponibles car le cuisinier en vacances mais quelques plats mijoter traditionnels étaient disponibles.
Le point décevant est la qualité pour le prix & quelques plats dit traditionnel mais ne le sont pas. Le riz n'est pas le bon utilisé ce qui rend un riz collant & lourd. Les mijoter & entré sont bon mais de même, certains aliments & épices n'ont rien a faire là (de l'orange dans un mijoté ça n'est pas authentique du tout)
Ça manque de générosité sur des aliments coûteux comme la pomme grenade & les noix de Grenoble dans certain plat.

Bref j'ai aimer le prioritaire très gentil mais pas la cuisine qui se dit authentique mais qui ne l'est pas tant, surtout pour ce prix.

Had a great experience at Ispahan while visiting Montreal. The food was delicious, fresh, & full of flavor, & the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. The service really stood out - everyone was friendly, attentive, & made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in.

If you're looking to try authentic Persian food in Montreal with great hospitality & a nice atmosphere, I definitely recommend Ispahan. I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in Montreal!

Nice place to go & have a taste of real Persian food. I suggest their home made Doogh, Mirza ghasemi, jooje kebab, & fesenjoon with Dock meat.
You might have to wait for food to get ready but it totally worth it. I suggest to enjoy their delicious appetizers while you are waiting for the main food.

We recently celebrated a birthday at Ispahan, & the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely amazing-every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, & clearly prepared with care. The drinks were equally impressive, with unique & creative options that were both delicious & memorable.

What truly made the evening special was the exceptional hospitality from the owners. They went above & beyond to make sure our birthday celebration was perfect, adding thoughtful touches that made us feel genuinely welcomed & appreciated.

If you're looking for outstanding food, fantastic drinks, & service that comes from the heart, Ispahan is a must-visit. We can't wait to come back!
