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. Some comments raise practical concerns about billing clarity and small annoyances such as water charges or service timing, but these do not outweigh the overall satisfaction.

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!
J'ai vraiment aimé le service de Zahra & Mitra, deux personnes souriantes & agréables. Zahra a été très souciante des besoins du client. Ensuite, le repas était vraiment à mon goût, représentatif de la cuisine perse. De plus, ces temps-ci, il y a beaucoup de gaspillage dans les restaurants, des repas non fini jetés à la poubelle. Ce n'est pas le cas dans ce restaurant, les portions sont bien définies. Vraiment juste assez pour une personne, ce que je trouve formidable.
The restaurant is fantastic. We appreciate the friendly, comfy atmosphere. The service from Zahra was amazing. The food is great, with fresh ingredients & tasty flavors.
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 😌!!
I had the pleasure of dining at this amazing Iranian restaurant, & I must say, the food was outstanding! The Lubia Polo Tahchin had a truly authentic flavor that brought back memories of traditional Iranian cuisine, & the eggplant Tahchin was simply delicious with its rich, savory taste. The authentic flavors & quality of the dishes truly impressed me. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience the best of Iranian cuisine!

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
The atmosphere was nice but the food was not good. We spent $118 for tahchin & loobia polo & 2 drink. Not worth the money. The quality & taste of the food were so disappointing.

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!
Pleasant atmosphere, good quality of food, good behavior of waiters. The only negative point, in my opinion, was the high price compared to the type of food, as well as the limitation of the number of dishes on the menu.
Having enjoyed the impressive experience at Café Aunja next door with its great food, drinks, & vibes, I was let down by Maison Inja. The place is cute & the service was good, but the food (chicken eggplant tahchin & mushroom soup) was subpar & overpriced. I paid over $30 for a dish that was far from tasty-fine dining prices for food that didn't match up.
I never leave reviews but I was so impressed i had to. I'm a huge fan of iranian food & went thinking it was going to be the usual grilled kebab that i love- but now i have a new favorite; the TAHCHIN!!! The flavors were insane, it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is super cute too, as though you're in someones living room :) Love the vibe, the food, everything. I more than recommend!!!
