Maison Inja earns praise for delicious, authentic Persian dishes with fragrant saffron notes, generous portions, and a warm, homey atmosphere. Reviews highlight attentive, friendly service and a cozy, welcoming vibe, making it a standout Montreal dining option, though a few comments note premium pricing and occasional service or billing hiccups.
The restaurant decor is beautiful & tasteful. However the food was a bit underwhelming. All the rice dishes we tried were heavily flavored with cardamom & cinnamon, making them taste more like baklava than rice. We also had to wait quite a while for the waiter to take our order, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. Drinks were perfect.
Cute restaurant with the best food! They thought about every detail. From the decor to the chinaware & even the food presentation!!! Prices are also very reasonable for what your getting! Will definitely come back when Im in Montreal next!

Une de mes adresses préférées à Montréal! Les cocktails sont très bons, le plat était délicieux, plein de saveurs, & la quantité plus que généreuse! Les desserts sont succulents, je conseille le safran cake & le rice pudding à la cardamone. Le service & la décoration sont très soignés, je recommande chaudement.
Loved the decoration, food & amazing service. Eggplant & chicken tahchin delicious 😋 & great presentation. Snowman kiss is refreshing drink with cucumber, minth & vinegar. Service is perfect, very kind & thoughtful staff 😁🤠
We visited Maison Inja in downtown Montreal for a special occasion, & it was the perfect choice. The venue is absolutely stunning, with beautifully thought-out decor that makes the experience feel extra special. The owner & the wait staff were warm, attentive, & always smiling, which added a personal touch to the evening. The food was exceptional-Persian fusion with bold, delicious flavors. I tried the Lubia Polo Tachin & Eggplant & Chicken Tachin, & both dishes were outstanding. The Persian tea & dessert were the perfect way to end the meal. The attention to detail in every aspect of the experience really stood out. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves great food in a charming setting. I'll definitely be going back!
The food was really amazing. Called with almost no notice & they found a way to accommodate us. The decor has a mid century, Iranian aesthetic that is really nostalgic. The different variations of tahchin was really great. I brought my non-Iranian friends to introduce them to Persian cuisine & they were blown away!
Great place! I really recommend it to try real Persian meals. Atmosphere, decor, dishes & ... are great. Being there feels like home. Thank you Maison inja. 👍

Truly delicious & amazing service! My colleague made tahdig a few weeks ago & I was absolutely enamoured. To be able to feel & taste that unique comfort food taste at Maison Inja was a huge highlight of our trip to Montreal. The beet bliss was also incredible! We did have the cabbage salad, that while refreshing, was not as exceptional as the other two dishes. I had the Persian Fragrance drink which was a beautiful complement to my meal. Decor & atmosphere is very beautiful!
Maison Inja offers a delightful dining experience with a perfect blend of delicious food, excellent service, & a charming atmosphere. The decor is elegant & cozy, with beautiful furnishings that create a warm & inviting ambiance. The Chicken Eggplant Tahchin is a standout, bursting with authentic flavors & beautifully presented. The staff are friendly & attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for authentic Iranian cuisine!
Nourriture perse raffinée&savoureuse. Cuisson parfaite & présentation impeccable. Superbe décor avec ambiance chaleureuse & peu bruyante. Verrerie, couverts & coutellerie magnifiques. Service courtois, attentionné & rapide. Merci encore pour cette belle découverte qui nous fait voyager 😌!!
The food is over-priced for the quality. The quality is okay, you would expect better with that price. The waiters are rude, specifically the guy who is responsible for sitting the guests. It is like he is doing you a favor for letting you inside the restaurant. & he is the first one you encounter when you go there. So you get an unwelcome feeling from the very first moment. The décor is very beautiful. I wish they had done a better job at hosting so we would want to come back. Plus, they should rename the "Shirazi" salad on their menu to "Greek" salad (almost). Regardless of the size of the ingredients, a Shirazi salad never comes with feta cheese.

Maison Inja is hands down the best Persian restaurant in town. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm hospitality & a charming atmosphere. The decor is exquisite
For me is the best Persian restaurant in the Montreal area so far .While the food isn't outstanding it is still quite good, making it the top choice for Persian cuisine locally. The decor is nice & clean, & the staff are good, providing the standard level of service for this type of restaurant. I also really like their logo!
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.
Petit restaurant jolie & bien décoré. Première impression qui laisse à désirer puisqu'ils n'ont pas pris en note la réservation prise deux jours avant. Plat maison iranien avec de bonnes saveurs mais la proportion viande/ riz pourrait être améliorée.
Unic experience of great food, wonderful atmosphere, nice music choise, kind & caring staff & out of this world decoration. Thanks for my great evening overthere
Amazing place with great Persian specialties to discover, from food to cold beverages! The staff is very nice, welcoming & caring, & the decoration is beautiful & distinguished. Definitely a must do in Montreal!
