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!

An amazing authentic & wonderful Persian restaurant on des Sources blvd ❤?❤? We made reservations for my mother's birthday & upon entering the venue saw many families & friends enjoying the food of the restaurant 😇😇 The staff was super welcoming & answered all our questions about the food ! We started with complimentary Barley soup which was incredibly tasty ❤?❤? For the main dishes we opted for the BBQ Flame-Cooked Meats as my mom had the Tender Barbecue Chicken Thighs while I had the Tangy Chicken kebab (breast) & each meal came with saffron rice & salad with the BBQ Tomato. Each bite was a gourmet's delight & super delicious & our full compliments to the chef 🙏🙏 For dessert we shared a Baklava & it was just as amazing ❤?❤? Cannot wait to come back with the entire family & friends to this 10/10 venue & try other items in its excellent menu 😇😇 MORE UPDATES: Went with my friends & had wonderful lentil soup followed by very tasty & delicious chicken dishes ❤?❤? For dessert we all had the saffron ice cream & it was heaven on earth 😇😇

Visiting friends from out of province, & so very sorry we won't be able to come back until summer .
From the moment we walked in, the wonderful aroma welcomed us!
The service was so welcoming & friendly., the food was delicious !
They first served us a delicious barley soup. We then lovingly enjoyed The Warm eggplant Dish, followed by the main courses of Traditional Persian stews, & chicken breast with saffron rice & salad.
Looking forward to our next visit to Montreal so we can come back & enjoy more selections from this restaurant

The kebab was tasty & juicy. I just wish the chicken kebab had been saffron-flavored, but overall the quality of the kebabs was good, & I would recommend this restaurant
