I recently saw this restaurant on my Instagram feed & decided to try it out. The decor & atmosphere were really charming. As soon as you walk in, it feels like a cozy nook in the middle of a bustling city. The decor, chairs, plates, & everything are super cute & picture-worthy. The staff were incredibly friendly & welcoming. As for the food, there weren't too many options, but the few items they offered were prepared with mastery. We tried the Kababi digi tahchin, which was really good & tasty. The sides that came with the food were also delicious. We also ordered the eggplant dolma, which was good but very oily, & some of the eggplant sheets were raw. Despite this, the presentation of the dishes was good. The drinks were okay-nothing out of the ordinary, but good. Price-wise, they are on the pricier side, more like beautiful fantasy type food. We ended up paying 105$ with tip for what you see in the pictures.
Today, I went with my friend to Maison Inja. The moment we entered, we were enveloped with the cozy ambiance & the familial atmosphere that is reflected clearly by the decorations. The waitresses were very welcoming & smiley. The menu is rich with the best Persian dishes, appetizers, hot & cold drinks, & sweets. They offer alcohols too. We had the beets appetizer which was so good. I took lubya with lamb & my friend kufta. The portion is big & satisfied. They offer the main dishes with a small bowl of yoghurt & delicious green olives. The iced tea is so good & the one with basil seeds (can't recall its name). After, we had a small tea pot consists of Iranian tea & cardamom with the delicious saffron & rose water cake. We split the things we ordered so each one of us almost paid 60$. So far it is the best Persian restaurant in Montreal. It is a bit pricey for many but it is worthy to try it once if you love the Persian cuisine❤️
The service & atmosphere at this restaurant was absolutely top tier. The homey & cozy decor made it feel like you were at a dinner part at someone's house rather than at a restaurant. We sat in the restaurant chatting & eating for a long time, but never felt any pressure to leave from the staff even though the restaurant was quite full. The food was also fantastic, as well as the unique & flavorful drinks. I appreciate the more limited menu, because everything was obviously made with care. I will note that a few of the dishes were slightly different than the menu description when they arrived, but it's no big deal. Maybe the english translations were a bit inaccurate? But overall Maison Inja was a 5 star experience. The atmosphere was truly unique & I will be sure to come back if i'm in Montreal again.
