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.
Reviews of Maman Sady Restaurant describe a strong, authentic Persian dining experience with standout kebabs, lamb shank, koobideh, and the vaziri combo, and praise for generous portions, saffron rice, and a warm, inviting atmosphere with friendly staff. Many diners call it among the best Iranian restaurants in Montreal, noting flavors that feel true to the cuisine and a appealing decor and vibe. At the same time, several experiences report inconsistent service, including slow, unprofessional handling, delays in getting plates or utensils, mix ups about which dish goes to whom, and occasional forgetfulness about soup or bread, even on quieter days, with some concern about pricing relative to service. Suggestions include clearer menu descriptions, more cohesive plating, and steadier staffing on busy nights. Overall, the restaurant is described as a dependable, comforting destination for Persian food, with broad praise for taste and hospitality, balanced by caveats about service consistency and value that vary by visit.
Soooo good experience!
First of all the place is very nice, with typical decoration & ambiance! Staff was so welcoming & warm, very professional service & not long waiting. Now the food... ooooh my god! So delicious, so tasty & succulent! It starts with a creamy chiken soup offered for free, for the principal dish, i took the lamb shank... I don't have words to describe it..Tender meat cooked to perfection, served with a sauce made with Middle Eastern spices, just amazing! With a very generous portion of rice! My friends took different kebab dishes, they were pleased with their choices. I tried the baklava cheese cake, exceptional 😋
I strongly recommend this restaurant & I'll definitely go back again.
Really great Persian food in montreal! We recieved complimentary soup as entrees & ordered the saffron chicken & the filet mignon & lamb meat dishes. For dessert we had the saffron rice pudding & baklava cheesecake. Cannot say enough good things. Really lovely staff & the place was full with families. Thank you for the great meal ! We will come back again 🩷
We were seated quickly after arriving but on a busy Saturday night on Valentine's day, please ensure to have enough staff to cover all your tables. We had to wait a long time to receive menus & never received water until we were almost finished eating
Despite a busy night, the food was very good. We had the koobideh & saffron chicken but it was not as hot temperature wise as I would've liked.
Consider plating the protein & the rice together so it doesn't crowd the table & can be brought out all at once.
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.

The atmosphere & the staff are great, so is the food presentation. But the quality is not the best. I ordered the torsh & it did not taste that great, it tasted like garlic, which makes no sense. The aash, though, was very very good! I tried my friend's joojeh & it too was very mediocre. The rice was also too oily.
Given the limited iranian kabob choices in montreal though, I'd still go back.
The lamb shank, the pita bread, the mast-o-moosir, the rice, the soup; everything was great! Service & vibes were top notch too, definitely recommend!!
We chose the place after a workout session & it was a great one! Food was amazing, especially the Meigoo Polow (Shrimp Rice) which had a special spice!
A special thanks to Elham who was so welcoming & offered us a great service.
Honestly, words can't truly capture it, but in short:
Your journey into a world of delight begins with the magical soup, & the epic battle begins the moment the glistening, juicy grills arrive, hiding behind hills of rice rising like a yellow aurora.
It would be a shame not to reward yourself with a dreamy meal from Maman Sady Restaurant.

Absolutely exquisite experience. Spotlessly clean & beautifully decorated restaurant with great ambiance & comfortable seating. The staff is wonderful: accomodating, always smiling, immaculately dressed with freshly pressed outfits. Clearly, this is an establishment that takes pride in it's craft. As for the food, if you haven't tried Persian cuisine highly recommend the 6 dish entree sample platter for $23 with a generous amount of pita. The chicken & veal skewer were perfect: so tender & juicy & it came with a huge generous plate of fluffy saffron rice. My personal favorite (I went back the next day for another!) is their chicken soup: thick & savoury with oat & cream. If you're looking for a comfort soup this winter, this is it
