Beautifully designed & decorated women operated Persian restaurant with great ambience & very cozy spot to relax & enjoy amazing authentic persian food with exceptional modern presentation. super friendly & nice staff.
Don't forget to ask for Persian tea with cinnamon, cardamom & homemade cookies.
What an amazing find. We stumbled on this gem of a restaurant & were so happy! The decor is luscious the food is fantastic & do not miss the amazing drink options. Do not miss on ordering the Tachin with eggplant & chicken/veal.
Best Persian I've had!!
One of the best brunch spots in Montreal with a nostalgic Persian vibe is Café Aunja🩷From the traditional decor to the authentic Iranian flavors, it feels just like home.
This restaurant does have a very nice decor to it, but the food was overpriced. Rice & chicken for 40$, I know safran is expensive & its hard to make proper tahchin, but I still felt like it was a high price. Sadly I also did not enjoy my dish & my plate was dirty. The service was okay.
A bigger concern was after reading all your reviews, how I felt about visiting. Your answers to negative reviews are extremely unprofessional, which made me not want to visit this place but did so for my friends. People are allowed to express their concerns & dislikes, especially the water situation, as a huge Montreal foodie, I have never witnessed any restaurants put water on the table without the customer asking or without them being notified it is an extra charge. You need to listen to your customers, even if you don't agree, & this will lead you to having a successful business. I am giving you two stars due to this, the food & service is not the only thing you should be worrying about.
We've had their famous tachin beef & an eggplant appetizer. Food is good & tasty, however portions are super small. So, it is certainly overpriced for what it is offering. Service is slow, so expect around half an hour to get your main dish, something you would not know until you've ordered. The place is cosy with a nice cultural touch. All the best
Great food & friendly service! The atmosphere was cozy, & everything we ordered was fresh & delicious.
The restaurant is small but very cozy. Food is great but pricy. It's a different flair.
The food was okay & lacked flavour.
Service was mediocre. We were mostly forgotten overall & had to wait 25 minutes after taking our plates to order our dessert & tea.
Food was good but if u like saffron
Tajin with chicken 8/10
Lamb Chops 9/10
Worth a try
