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.
With due respect, this review is based solely on my first experience at this restaurant.
Unfortunately, the quality of service & the way customers were received & attended to were not satisfactory, & there were noticeable shortcomings in the way the food was served.
Considering that in many Iranian restaurants offering complimentary bread, butter, & tea is considered part of the hospitality culture, the absence of these items was notable.
Additionally, the pricing did not seem consistent with the quality & level of service provided. For example, charging $35 for Ghormeh Sabzi does not appear reasonable in my view.
This place has such a beautiful & cozy vibe. The decoration is lovely & the atmosphere makes you feel comfortable right away. The food smells so good throughout the restaurant & makes the whole experience even better.
The staff are incredibly kind & welcoming. I also had the chance to talk with Maman Sady herself, & she is such a warm & lovely person.
You can really feel the positive energy in this place. Definitely recommend visiting! 😊
Absolutely terrible experience. We came here yesterday to break our fast & arrived at 6:46 PM, but didn't receive our food until 8:00 PM. Waiting over an hour for food is already unacceptable, but it's even worse when customers are fasting.
The food was honestly nothing special. For the prices they charge, I expected something much better. It was just average at best.
The service was even worse than the food. Our server barely checked on us the entire time. We ran out of water & she never came back to refill it. We were literally sitting there waiting for someone to notice us. We even had to tell her ourselves that we were ready to order, otherwise I doubt she would have come.
This was my first time coming here, & it will definitely be my last. I genuinely don't understand how this place has such good reviews because our experience was extremely disappointing. If 0 stars was possible, that's exactly what this place would get from me.
Excellent restaurant iranien ! Les plats sont savoureux, authentiques & bien servis. L'accueil est chaleureux & l'ambiance très agréable. Merci à Golnar pour son service attentionné. Je recommande vivement.

The Halim bademjan was super tasty 🤌 & the soup was great too! I ordered Gheimeh nesar & the portion was very generous. The taste was great as well & the smell of the food was amazing. The fresh bamieh for dessert was absolutely delicious. I recommend this Persian restaurant!
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.
Today I grabbed a sangak & took it to Maman Sadi Restaurant. I asked them to put it under the kebabs - & wow… you guys seriously missed out! With fresh basil & onions, that combo was next level.
Big thanks to the whole team - everyone's super friendly & polite, & they really know what they're doing. & the kebabs? Absolutely top-notch.

We are visiting from Miami, Florida, & stop by for some good Persian cuisine. The place was nicely decorated , a great ambience & lots of small thoughtful touches. The food was absolutely amazing & the service & the staff were extremely friendly & welcoming. We had a lamb shank & the vaziri combo which again were both outstanding & combination platter for the appetizers were just as good. Highly recommended this place to anyone visiting
My friend & I tried the lamp shank, Barg, Kashke bademjan & sholezard. The food & the vibe were good. The waitress was really nice & welcoming but she said the main dish comes with soup but she didn't bring any (Maybe I am wrong or she just forgot). I wish they were serving Sangak instead of pita. Also I wish the Barg was less salty & more juicy. I really recommend that they put better photos on their menu & more descriptions & details as it sounds confusing for non-Iranians. I recommend this place & will try again. But I hope in my next visit they don't forget the soup.
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.

A great family owned shop with amazing fresh food. They have amazing kebabs & they have a wide price range for their meats. There's a reason why this place has such good rating.
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 !!
