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.
Lovely service, DEEEEELICIOUS food, super cozy ambiance. I'm a chef & it's rare that I'm blown away by a restaurant. This is a 10/10 in every way. I can't wait to come back.
Food is tasty & delicious but to me very overpriced for what you get (small portions). Sercvice was great & about atmosphere, not much privacy & too much of lighting but nice infusion decoration
This place was incredible! The food quality was outstanding & the staff were extremely polite & welcoming. I tried the shishlik & Adas Polo & each dish was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend them. The decor was beautiful, & the cozy atmosphere made me feel completely at home. Truly, one of the best restaurants in Montreal.
Un joyau caché dans un demi-sous-sol, qui mérite d'être découvert. Au premier coup d'oeil, on est charmé par le décor somptueux tant en raison du mobilier que de la vaisselle. Le menu présente une belle variété de saveurs. Le potage de poireaux pommes de terre était excellent, bien que manquant un peu d'exotisme : peut-être qu'il est malgré tout représentatif de la cuisine perse. En revanche, le kebab digi tahhcin, plat très original, était sublime. Coque délicieusement croquante de riz agréablement parfumé, entourant une portion de boeuf bien apprêtée, ce plat m'a ravi. Bien rassasié après ce plat principal, je n'ai pu goûter les desserts, que je réserve à ma prochaine visite. Car prochaine visite il y aura. Ajoutons que le service était exemplaire : efficace, courtois & chaleureux, avec une touche d'humour, tout en demeurant discret.

This is definitely the best spot in montreal for trying persian cuisine. With tastiest food & warm environment. Also the service was perfect. Tahchin is absolutely recommended.
I loved this place because it wasn't just the typical dishes you usually find everywhere! I got "eggplant & chiken tahchin" which i would recommend, it was honestly delicious & i can not wait to go back there again Overall a great lunch experience with great atmosphere! If you haven't tried this place yet you need to!
I've been looking forward to try Iranian food at Maison Inja restaurant for a while now, & was so glad that I did it. The food was so delicious & the service was really great, too.
I tried the tahchin with eggplant, & it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced, & the texture was spot-on. The ambiance was also very unique & special, making the dining experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy authentic & flavorful Persian cuisine.
