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.
Just had lunch here & it was a fantastic experience. The food was so delicious. We had an app then a main & it left us very satisfied. I highly recommend Maison Inja.
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!
Excellent food, very good service & excellent ambiance. We had booked the table at the window but they had forgotten & had given it to other client, but with their good service, it was a negligible error. We will go there again 👌🏻
We had a very great evening there with wonderful hospitality, great atmosphere & delicious food. It was a wonderful experience. If you want experience Iranian food in Parisian atmosphere, with Persian hospitality, here is the best place in Montreal.
My husband & I went to this restaurant for lunch. The appetizer I ordered was called skillet eggplant (if I'm not mistaken) & it was a new recipe kinda combination of kashke badenjan & Mirza ghasemi. The eggplant was smoked & it tasted so good. I just wish it was served warm. The main course; I ordered chicken & spinach tahchin & my husband ordered kabak digi tahchin. His dish was really good, mine was good too but at some point I felt a little bit greasy. Each dish comes with marinated olives & mint yogurt. The restaurant design was vintage & reminds me of my grandparents house. It was nostalgic & cozy. Overall I would recommend it specially for the Tahchin lovers! ☺️
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 ordered two different dishes, the rice was sticky & almost tasted the same on two different recipes. A bit expensive compared to other counterparts, starting 18% tip on card machines. The first & the last visit for us anyway.
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!

Maison Inja is an absolute gem in Montreal! The atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the service is top-notch - friendly, attentive, & genuinely caring. The Iranian fusion food is out of this world, with bold & creative flavors in every dish. Whether you're familiar with Iranian cuisine or trying it for the first time, you're in for a treat. The perfect spot for a unique dining experience! Highly recommended!
Delicious Persian food in a wonderful setting! Definitely wanted to have one more piece of lamb for the Shishlik, for the pricepoint but nevertheless, had an amazing dinner. Thanks to Timeleft for introducing the place to me!
It was really clean, nice, & the food was delicious. It's definitely the kind of place you should take a foreign friend to, so they can experience fancy, modern-style Iranian cuisine.
I recommend 200% !!! I tried the eggplant chicken tahchin & the lubia polo tahchin & they were both AMAZINGLY delicious 🫠😍 the place is clean, quiet & very cozy. If I were to give some improvement ideas: the waiter should not come & ask us if we are done 15min after receiving the plates, the portions could be slightly bigger (they are so good)
