Great place to experience Persian food, fantastic koobideh kebab, excellent service & very friendly staff. They have music, DJ & dance performances every Saturday night! Everything was fresh & delicious. We tried koobideh, doogh (yogurt drink) & Shiraz salad. The food also came with a very delicious soup. We loved the experience, it's a pity they're only open 3 nights a week.

My husband & I visited Montreal from Southern California & had an absolutely delightful experience at Ispahan. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the staff. Our waitress, Latifeh, was incredibly nice & professional, making sure we had everything we needed. The owner was also super nice & kind, which made our visit even more special. The quality of the food was exceptional, with every dish tasting fresh & delicious. The restaurant itself was immaculate, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience. We particularly enjoyed the complimentary entertainment, which added a unique touch to our evening. The prices for both dinner & appetizers were very reasonable, making Ispahan a great value for the quality & service provided. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great Persian dining experience in Montreal!
