Despite visiting during an off-hour when the restaurant was empty, the atmosphere was absolutely enchanting, thanks to its gorgeous vintage decor & thoughtfully curated music. As someone relatively new to Afghan-inspired flavors, I found the dishes to be a revelation, with intricate & deeply layered tastes that felt both unfamiliar & captivating. My meal & drink, both saffron-forward, were unexpectedly addictive, leaving me craving more with each bite & sip. One thing to note: the portions are generously sized, so come hungry! For anyone seeking a fresh & exciting culinary experience in Montreal, Inja is a must-visit.
Very lovely decor. Cute place with interesting things on the wall, dressers, chandeliers, etc. Very intimate. Food was very good. Definitely would recommend. The tahchin is very big & worth splitting after an appy.
Amazing food, atmosphere & everything is halal! Highly recommend it! One of the best places for authentic Persian food in Montreal!
Very beautiful restaurant! Had the burek & the saffron cake, both were delicious
Maison Inja, located on Sherbrooke Street in Montreal, is a Persian restaurant with a charming & welcoming atmosphere that sets it apart. The ambiance is warm & stylish, making it a delightful place to enjoy a meal. Their menu features some unique Persian dishes, including a variety of TahChins, which are rice-based casseroles traditionally layered with different fillings. We tried the spinach & chicken TahChin & the kebab digi TahChin. While both dishes were tasty & enjoyable, they didn't stand out as particularly exceptional or memorable. Additionally, the pricing seemed a bit high compared to other Persian restaurants in the city, which may be something to consider if you're on a budget. However, the overall experience was positive thanks to the excellent service & the pleasant atmosphere. Maison Inja is worth visiting if you're looking to try some Persian dishes in a refined setting, but it may not be the best choice for those seeking a more budget-friendly option.
absolutely incredible! Every bite was a delightful explosion of taste that left me wanting more. The dishes are so delicious, it's almost addictive. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experienc
Je suis venu manger un jeudi à midi, l'ambiance était très calme. J'ai mangé un tahchin poulet & épinard. Délicieux. Le riz légèrement grillé à l'extérieur & fondant à l'intérieur donne à ce plat des textures envoûtantes.
Amazing food & lovely personnel! I really look forward to going back. We used to order food through UBEREAT for my company few months ago, but I just saw the UBER menu & got shocked about the significant price increase. We used to order tahchin for $28 & now is $38, that is quite unfortunate that we can't order food at work from there anymore!
The food is absolutely amazing! I had been searching for a Persian restaurant in Montreal to invite my friends, & I'm so glad I found this spot. I was truly satisfied with everything, & my friends mentioned it felt like a great discovery.
