Had a reservation for Valentine's day, the food was amazing, particularly loved the Börek au filet mignon. Nice & cozy vibes, the staff was very friendly, definitely would recommend 👌
I loved everything about it whether it was the food.The service & even the ambiance inside the atmosphere was wonderful. I would recommend for any couple that would want a little bit of intimacy, but still having that fancy type of service.& food & taste. Restaurant is small gives you that little warm, cozy & welcoming vibe it gibze also a good place to have intentional conversations with your partner. Because there is no music blasting.It's just lovely jazz playing in the background.
All in all a wonderful experience would recommend a hundred per culpri.& most definitely the lamb like the food with lamb is great.
La nourriture était trop bonne mais on nous a placé devant la porte d'entrée car on était 3 & c'était la seule table de 3 dispo selon le serveur. On avait du froid à chaque fois que la porte s'ouvrait.. on revient plus malheureusement

A well crafted sister restaurant to Cafe Aunja next door! The tahcheen we had was delicious & we also liked the cakes we got for dessert. It is pricey though, they even charged a lot for post-dinner tea, which is often times free in many Montreal Persian restaurants. We also waited about half an hour or so for our order to arrive, but that's not a big deal since the meal was fresh & well cooked.
I have eaten here a couple times over the past few months & it has become one of my favourites. It reminds me of food my parents make at home. Service is great, atmosphere is great, & food is lovely. Definitely recommend!
