I was really disappointed with the tahchin I ordered. It was extremely dry, tasted like it had been sitting around for a long time, & honestly didn't feel fresh at all. I had much higher expectations from this restaurant!!
As someone who has tried tahchin in many different places, I can confidently say this was the lowest quality version I've ever had.
I hope the restaurant pays more attention to freshness & quality, because this experience was far from what I expected.
New Persian restaurant in downtown Montréal with very authentic, homemade-style dishes.
For brunch, they offer'Kale Pache,' the famous Iranian sheep's head dish, very fresh & tasty, but it sells out quickly, so it's best to reserve in advance.
I also tried'Baghali Polo Mahiche' (rice with lamb shank). It was incredibly delicious, the meat was so juicy it just melted in my mouth.
The chairs are a bit uncomfortable, but the food quality more than makes up for it. Definitely worth a visit, this is my new go-to spot for Iranian cuisine!
I've been to this restaurant twice. Overall, the food is decent. One time we had ice cream, & it was really delicious & flavorful. The atmosphere is also Iranian-style, which makes it interesting.
Such a wonderful place for dinner. The food is some of the best Persian food I've ever had. They even have things that I've never tried before, like Kalam Polow. It's such a cozy & inviting atmosphere & the music is amazing too. Everyone should go there at some point.
This was the best Iranian restaurant that I have ever been to anywhere, & I am so excited to come back the next time I am in Montréal.
Everything we ordered was phenomenal from the Kalam Polo, to the Kookoo Sabzi Wrap, Ash Reshteh, & Ash Dooq. I also liked their Torshi. If I lived here I would be here every single week!
While I gave this place a 5 star review, I still wanted to share a few more thoughts. Overall, the quality of the food was very good for the price. We went as a group & ordered tahchin, baghali polo with lamb shank, karafs stew, & zeytoon parvarde.
I really loved the chicken tahchin. It came with a small bowl of chicken broth that you could pour over the rice, which made it even more flavorful. The chicken was well seasoned & tasted great. The presentation was also beautiful, topped with fried almonds & barberries.
The lamb shank was well seasoned too, but the taste was just average in my opinion. I have had better elsewhere. The karafs stew was well cooked & nicely thick & settled, but it had a seasoning, maybe a hint of cinnamon, that I did not enjoy as much. That is just my personal preference though.
The ash e dough was delicious & tasted exactly how it should. Unfortunately, the zeytoon parvarde was not my favorite as it had a slightly bitter taste.

A restaurant that brings the best of homemade Iranian cuisine to Montreal's food scene, affordable, high-quality, with generous portions, & always tasty & fresh. The presentation is beautiful; what they create is truly art on every plate.
I'm really disappointed with the service. It seems like there's only one person handling everything; taking orders, managing payments, & seating customers at the same time. My friend & I had to wait about 20 minutes just for someone to take our order. The service throughout the meal was very slow, & some items were either delayed or completely forgotten. This really affected our overall experience & I hope management takes this into consideration in the future.
