Maison Inja is a beautiful restaurant next to its sister café Aunja on Sherbrooke. We were a party of two & ordered the (1) Eggplant & Chicken Tahchin [$36.85], (2) Lentil Delight Appetizer [$15.85] & (3) Borage Teapot [$15.99]. The tahchin tasted mostly like chicken, as we were unable to see or taste the eggplant. Note that it is VERY filling. We enjoyed the lentil appetizer but were surprised at the few pieces of bread given (that was visibly ripped apart). We asked for more which came with a surcharge of $2.99! We were also tucked away in a corner where we didn't have any water refills the whole night & kept waiting for a server to come around. Despite the lack of attention from the staff & high costs, we had a wonderful time & enjoyed the restaurant's ambiance. I would highly recommend the borage tea & lentil appetizer! I will probably return & order a different tahchin to try next time. In total, the bill came to $82.41 after tax & before tip.

The staff were friendly & attentive, providing excellent service that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!'
I loved it! we ordered traditional tahchin (eggplant & chicken), Adaspolo tahchin, & Veal eggplant tahchin, all were really tasty.
Although the menu has basically two types of main dish, tahchin or borek, they are kind of masters in making them!
Kind of on the pricey side of restaurant!!
A very comfortable & chic place, perfect for a small gathering. The ambiance was warm & inviting, & the service was great.
The portions were well-presented, offering a modern take on Iranian cuisine. It's a wonderful spot to enjoy delicious food in a stylish setting!
However, it's a bit expensive, the quality & atmosphere make it worth considering.
From the very first bite, we knew we were in for a treat! We ordered the kebab Digi & the Meat & Eggplant Tahchin, & both were absolutely delicious. The tahdig was perfectly crispy, & the flavors were rich, aromatic, & well-balanced. The dishes came with a variety of sides, adding to the experience. On top of that, our waitress was incredibly warm & welcoming, offering great recommendations. The cozy & beautifully designed space made the meal even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic & flavorful dining experience!
This is by far the best Iranian (fusion) restaurant in Montreal & one of the best in North America, ... don't miss he chance, ....
