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.
What an amazing restaurant. Loved every thing, food, atmosphere, details, design, location... We were a group of 12 from the USA & Toronto & everything we ordered loved it. Its was a great memorable experience. The personal were all very polite, kind & friendly. The owner of restaurant paid so much attention in managing this beautiful restaurant & cafe. Amazing Persian names for the drinks. Lived it! Details on the walls, plates, dishes, ... we truly felt grandma's house with the smell of rose water, saffron, cardamom, cinnamon. Highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you so much for having us.
Petit restaurant jolie & bien décoré. Première impression qui laisse à désirer puisqu'ils n'ont pas pris en note la réservation prise deux jours avant. Plat maison iranien avec de bonnes saveurs mais la proportion viande/ riz pourrait être améliorée.

Let's give a demonstration for those not familiar with the food: Tahchin is a persian meal made with rice, saffron, eggs & yogurt, in the shape of the pot (looks like a cake haha). This dish is then complimented with choice of protein which is mostly (the famous & common one) chicken, inside. This restaurant sells different kinds of tahchin, which are basically another way of making some famous persian meals like adas polo (rice & lentils & meat), loubia polo (rice & green beans & meat), in the shape of the pot. It has a great crispy texture on the outside & has the meat & everything inside. Very great food. You can taste the rose water & saffron so well in these meals which makes you feel like you're having a homemade Persian meal. Great staff & great atmosphere (very pretty place), with antique furniture. Beware that the restaurant is small though, so make your reservations in advance. Absolutely loved it.
Wonderful experience. Very professional & the tahchin quality is beyond amazing. They have paid a lot of attention to everything from atmosphere, furniture & food quality.
Incredible food served in a cozy, pitch-perfect resto space by friendly & authentic staff, with creative & delicious dishes & hot & cold beverages that transport you somewhere else for every minute you're there. Truly a remarkable spell. Shout out to the beef & mushroom pastry, my god.
Best Persian Cuisine I've ever been in Canada, definitely will get back there. Don't miss Adas Polo, Shishlik, & Eggplant Tahchin! desserts are heaven!
