Service is often highlighted as attentive and hospitable, though a few visits note occasional delays or inconsistencies when busy. Many reviewers consider the menu prices high but worth the experience, with the quality and atmosphere earning strong praise. Reservations are frequently recommended due to the small space.

Overall, Maison Inja is celebrated as a hidden gem offering authentic flavors, comforting home style meals, and a memorable, refined yet cozy atmosphere that keeps guests returning.
im persian & i dont eat out because i can cook but i love it here the service is amazing & the food is amazing get the tahchin with the mirza ghasemi with the fish
A well crafted sister restaurant to Cafe Aunja next door! The tahcheen we had was delicious & we also liked the cakes we got for dessert. It is pricey though, they even charged a lot for post-dinner tea, which is often times free in many Montreal Persian restaurants. We also waited about half an hour or so for our order to arrive, but that's not a big deal since the meal was fresh & well cooked.

It was a good restaurant & had a cute Persian atmosphere. Food was unique, & staff were friendly. However, note that the water served on the table is also included, & they never mention it. I would order only tap water if I knew its gonna cost me; I never had this experience anywhere. They also didn't provide us a bill, so I had to go back to check why my bill was more than expected. All in all, not a bad experience; we liked the warm ambience, but we had way better experiences in our visit to Montreal.
The food is DELICIOUS! Authentic Persian dishes that are definitely made with love ❤? the service was also amazing & the decorations are gorgeous. The exposed brick, wallpaper, & light fixtures all went so beautifully together!
The atmosphere & design were unique & delightful. I ordered Lamb Shanks with Tah chin, they're were delicious & taste & use of ingredients were subtle. Honestly, I think I found my favorite Persian restaurant finally! Service was also good despite the fact that restaurant was crowded on Sunday night!
Thanks for everything on Yalda night!

If you don't know cafe Aunja, next door neighbor, same owners, you should definitely try it !!
The coziest spot in Montreal to enjoy amazing dishes by your Persian grandmother. Their specialty rice dish, Tahchin, is so satisfying. & the Persian Fog tea is like a hug in a mug. Will definitely be back. Not many tables so reservations are def needed for dinner!

Went with family & it was our first time trying persian food, it did not disappoint! Loved the eggplant entrees & the mushroom cream barley soup. Ambiance is very cozy & perfect for family dinners.
Absolutely loved my experience here! The interior decor is beautiful & detailed, & the whole atmosphere feels calm, warm, & relaxing.
It was my first time trying Persian cuisine, & the food was absolutely delicious - full of flavor yet very balanced.
I also really enjoyed the drinks, especially the Persian Fog - it's so unique & smooth.
The Tea Latte comes in a large pot that fills about four small tea cups, which is such a lovely touch.
The service was excellent, & everything was very clean & well maintained.
A truly wonderful experience - I'll definitely be coming back!
We ordered kebab digi tahchin, as well as meat & eggplant tahchin. I especially loved the meat & eggplant one, it had such an authentic flavor, with a perfect balance of spices & textures that made every bite delicious. The kebab digi was very good too!
The atmosphere was beautiful, showing true Persian style, & the staff were so kind & friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience Iranian cuisine & culture. If I ever have guests & want to introduce them to authentic Persian food, this is absolutely where I'd bring them. Truly well presented!
Delicious, high quality Persian food, great service, & hospitality along with beautifully designed decorations & soft music create a chic yet cozy ambiance which gives one the very sense of home.
One of my most favorite places to dine in Montréal!
