Definitely a hidden gem & my favorite Persian restaurant in the West Island.

The meats/chicken platter is incredible. So juicy & flavourful. Hands down the best kobideh I've had! The eggplant-based entrées are also delicious. I really recommend trying.

Also love that they have fesenjoon on the menu. Delicious Persian comfort dish & tastes like you're eating at someone's home.

The safran ice cream was also good!

They ran out of chicken breast at 6:30 pm, the filet mignon didn't feel like it was fillet mignon, good soup, basmati rice was dry & tasteless, salad was small, however the lentil soup was outstanding. Server was average, no atmosphere, not running back at any time soon.

Wonderful place to try authentic Persian food.

This was our first time & everything was amazing

We ordered one dinner meal (rice with Zereshk chicken - a tomato based chicken stew) one kids meal (koobideh), one side of meat (koobideh torsh) & a side of olives.

We started off with a lentil soup with pita bread.

For our dinners, we had an order of a chicken stew, & two orders of the grilled koobideh meat. The side of olives were a great compliment to the meats.

Though the place was busy on a Friday night, the food came out pretty faster after we ordered it (10mins)- fast service for freshly made food.

Theee best filet mignon I have ever had. So tender & flavourful. I had it with salad & the dressing on their salad was delicious
My friend had the chicken with pomegranate & it was a flavour party. Soo good.
Make a reservation because it fills up fast in there. The secret is out on where delicious is at for a great value.

A very welcoming restaurant, with delicious Persian food. The interior is modest & charming. The staff is very pleasant & hospitable. It is so nice to be greeted with a smile at the door. The menu is more extensive than other Persian restaurants in the city. The restaurant offers all the traditional Persian grilled meats, as well as hard to find Persian specialties. We particularly enjoyed the Fesenjoon chicken stew. All dishes that we tried were delicious! Being able to bring a bottle of your favourite wine, to complement the flavours, completes the experience!

I suggest you try the Tangy Barg Kebab & Tangy Chicken Kebab.
These two main dishes are among the tastiest dishes ever.
Enjoy the flavors!

This food was amazing. I have mostly had Persian food at people's houses so it's always been delicious but this food was so good. The restaurant was simply decorated with a vibe of being in someone's dinning room. The food is exquisite! The chickens flavors just explode in my mouth. The jooje torsh (#5) was so tangy & well balanced with earthy spices. The signature shali kebab was also so juicy. We will go back. They had big family style tables perfect for a family gathering.

I landed in Montreal for work around 8pm & was searching for delicious & healthy options near the airport & found this gem! The kebab plates (both chicken & beef) are next level delicious & the best Persian food I've had to date. I ended up coming a second time on my way back to the airport & the tangy chicken kebab plate with rice & salad was amazing. Will be coming back on my next trip to Montreal!
