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.
I had an amazing experience dining at this Persian restaurant in Montreal. The food was absolutely authentic & of the highest quality, every dish was rich in flavor & beautifully presented. The prices were more than fair for the exceptional quality.
What really stood out, though, was the ambiance, warm, elegant, & inviting. It felt like stepping into a piece of Iran. But above all, the hospitality was unmatched. The staff were genuinely welcoming, kind, & made us feel completely at home from the moment we walked in.
If you're looking for a place that offers not just great Persian cuisine but a truly memorable experience, this is the spot. Highly recommended!
J'ai d'abord découvert le café AUNJA à l'heure du goûter, lors de mon passage à Montréal & j'ai adorée. En sortant du café j'ai vu la Maison INJA à côté & je suis revenue avec des amis cette fois ci quelques jours après. Belle découverte & super experience culinaire, on a voyagé lors de ce repas & on ne peut que les recommander. Bonne continuation à toute l'équipe

Dining at Maison Inja felt like being transported straight to Tehran. From the moment you walk in, you're embraced by a warm, elegant atmosphere with Persian music, soft lighting, & subtle details that reflect true Iranian hospitality.
The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was a celebration of flavor & tradition. The saffron rice was fragrant, you can taste the love & authenticity in every bite. The desserts are simply divine.
Service was attentive & kind, & the staff took the time to explain the dishes & make you feel like a welcome guest in their home.
Maison Inja is more than just a restaurant - it's a cultural experience. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover (or reconnect with) the beauty of Persian cuisine & hospitality.
Great experience coming to the restaurant. Had the pleasure of being served by the owner & the waitress who have been with the restaurant since it started. Would recommend strongly to anyone visiting or in Montreal.
I just tried an Iranian restaurant & absolutely loved it!
The flavors took me straight back to home-cooked meals - rich, aromatic, & beautifully balanced.
Highly recommend it if you're craving authentic Persian cuisine!

We just tried this amazing Iranian restaurant & the food was absolutely delicious! Everything was full of flavor & beautifully presented. Highly recommended - if you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! Definitely worth a visit.
Maison Inja offers some of the most delicious traditional Persian dishes in Montreal. Every plate is full of rich flavor, with an unforgettable touch of saffron in every bite. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Persian food.
Super cute Persian restaurant with lots of charm. We really enjoyed the ambience & the creative take on tahchin! We were a bit worried reading some of the reviews but the tahchin (kebab digi & chicken eggplant) were delicious. They are not your usual tahchin dishes - lots of aromatics that made the dish more complex & enjoyable. Highly recommend giving a try!
Lost a few points because of the pricing (not insane but the prices could be more reasonable for what they are).
Lovely restaurant, with a very unexpected decor. Very homey.
Not very big so reservations recommended.
The food was excellent & quite copious. Be advised against ordering too much.
The noise level is a tad loud.
Maison Inja is a beautiful restaurant next to its sister café Aunja on Sherbrooke. We were a party of two & ordered the (1) Eggplant & Chicken Tahchin [$36.85], (2) Lentil Delight Appetizer [$15.85] & (3) Borage Teapot [$15.99]. The tahchin tasted mostly like chicken, as we were unable to see or taste the eggplant. Note that it is VERY filling. We enjoyed the lentil appetizer but were surprised at the few pieces of bread given (that was visibly ripped apart). We asked for more which came with a surcharge of $2.99! We were also tucked away in a corner where we didn't have any water refills the whole night & kept waiting for a server to come around. Despite the lack of attention from the staff & high costs, we had a wonderful time & enjoyed the restaurant's ambiance. I would highly recommend the borage tea & lentil appetizer! I will probably return & order a different tahchin to try next time. In total, the bill came to $82.41 after tax & before tip.

The staff were friendly & attentive, providing excellent service that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!'
From the very first bite, we knew we were in for a treat! We ordered the kebab Digi & the Meat & Eggplant Tahchin, & both were absolutely delicious. The tahdig was perfectly crispy, & the flavors were rich, aromatic, & well-balanced. The dishes came with a variety of sides, adding to the experience. On top of that, our waitress was incredibly warm & welcoming, offering great recommendations. The cozy & beautifully designed space made the meal even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic & flavorful dining experience!

One of my favorite restaurants in the city! I love the atmosphere & unique food. Service is also unbeatable - they really go out of their way to impress. Highly recommend!
Very lovely decor. Cute place with interesting things on the wall, dressers, chandeliers, etc. Very intimate. Food was very good. Definitely would recommend. The tahchin is very big & worth splitting after an appy.
