Welcome to Maman Sady's Persian Homemade Food, a top-rated Persian restaurant in Montreal, where we bring the rich flavors of authentic, halal Persian cuisine to your table. Our menu features a delightful selection of traditional Persian dishes, including succulent kebabs, aromatic rice dishes, and flavorful stews, all made from fresh, high-quality ingredients that are fully halal.
Overall, reviews describe Maman Sady Restaurant as a warm, family friendly Persian spot with generous portions and fresh, well seasoned dishes such as lamb shank, koobideh, and saffron rice, plus standout desserts like baklava cheesecake; the experience is often enhanced by complimentary soup and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with attentive staff, though a few visits report slower, less consistent service and occasional missteps in timing or plating; taken together, the cuisine, authenticity, and hospitality make it a top choice for Iranian food in Montreal and encourage a return for trying more dishes.
We were a group of eight people, & unfortunately none of us were satisfied with the food. For example, the koobideh kebab had an overwhelmingly strong onion flavor, & it seemed like too much onion had been used in the meat mixture. The rice was slightly undercooked as well.
The kebab Torsh (Gilani style) had such a strong garlic taste that we could barely taste the meat itself. As for the marinated chicken, although it was tender, it honestly had no special flavor at all.
The most disappointing part was that we had a guest visiting from the United States, who was actually hosting the dinner that evening. He ordered the Barg kebab, but it was completely undercooked. We politely asked the staff to cook it properly. Instead of preparing a new one, they simply put the same kebab back on the grill for a little longer, which only made it tougher. Our guest was so disappointed that he did not even touch the kebab after that.
Overall, we were truly dissatisfied with the food & the experience, & unfortunately we will not be returning to this restaurant again.
Had a wonderful experience at Maman Sady Restaurant! The Barg was super delicious & perfectly cooked, & the Ghormeh Sabzi was incredibly flavorful & authentic. The Meygo Polo was also delicious & well made, although the spices were a little different from my personal taste. Overall, the food quality & atmosphere were amazing, & I'd definitely come back again!

We spent a lovely evening with the family at Maman Sady restaurant-a cozy, beautiful, & genuinely warm place.
From the moment we walked in, the amazing aroma of ghormeh sabzi filled the air-it was absolutely irresistible & made you fall in love with the food before even tasting it.
The staff were kind, welcoming, & friendly, which made the experience even better.
The soup was delicious & comforting.
The koobideh was a perfect 10/10-simply excellent.
We also ordered barg & chenjeh kebabs, & both were incredibly tasty & full of flavor.
Overall, it felt like a warm, homey experience that we truly enjoyed.
I had a great experience at this restaurant! The soup was absolutely delicious-rich, flavorful, & perfectly seasoned. But the highlight for me was definitely the shrimp rice; it was cooked to perfection & full of amazing taste. You can really tell that care goes into the food here. I would definitely come back again!

I never understood the hype! I went with my family prior to their renovation, the food was below average for an authentic Iranian restaurant. The kebab was missing flavor & the joojeh seasoning was practically non-existent.
I came back a couple of months ago & it
was exactly the same. Even their Baghali Polo was flavorless, & their customer service was zero. We came on the weekend, the place was not full, & it took us 45 minutes to receive our food after ordering.

Ordered via Uber, Maman Sady was really tasty & had that authentic flavor. It's a bit above the usual price range in my opinion, but you can definitely tell in the quality of the rice, the saffron flavor, & the meat they use. The dish I ordered (Gheimeh nesar) would be best accompanied by a side like plain yogurt or their garlic yogurt! My Canadian partner loved them too & he's picky with Persian food! Merci Maman !!
We had a lovely Sunday lunch here with our grandparents & toddler, & the experience was flawless. The staff were incredibly gracious, friendly, & considerate, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.
The restaurant itself has tasteful decor & a wonderful atmosphere. It's quiet enough to have a proper conversation without shouting, & the tables are spaced far enough apart that you never feel cramped-even with a larger group.
As for the food: it was amazing & the portions were very generous. A lovely surprise was that the mains included a complimentary soup appetizer, which was delicious & a very thoughtful touch.
Beef Stew: Traditionally prepared, beautifully presented, & so flavorful.
Koobideh: This absolutely blew my mind! It was a huge hit with our toddler, too.
Shrimp Rice: Simply out of this world.
We're already looking forward to our next visit!
I had one of the most delicious meigo polo (shrimp with rice) here. It really reminded me of Persian dishes from southern Iran. I enjoyed it so much & highly recommend adding it to your list!
We also tried Gheymeh Nesar which was full of different flavors, colors, & beautiful decorations.
Amazing food, very taste, new interesting flavors & combinations, overall very healthy, big dishes & good quality & amount for the price. Very welcoming staff, relaxed ambiance, totally recommended spot!

I had a great experience at Maman Sady. The place feels warm & welcoming, & the staff are super kind & attentive. The koobideh was juicy & full of flavor, the Vaziri was perfect for trying both saffron chicken & koobideh, & the Gheymeh Nesar was amazing, beautifully made & very authentic. Overall, a very comforting spot with delicious food. I'll definitely be coming back.
