I was there for the first time & it was very good.Excellent service , delicious food & great company.We had the Combo number 2 , which 4 people could have eaten for sure with lots of leftovers.Also we had olives that I think were made with pomegranate, delicious.
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
Meat was juicy, vegetables were fresh, & the service was great. On top of that, it's a family business. Overall, had a good time. I'd definitely come back.
The food was really tasty & definitely worth the price(honestly better than many other Iranian restaurants in Montreal). The kebabs were very good, especially the kebab torsh, which was excellent. The rice was acceptable, though not perfect.
The service was generally fine, but water wasn't served initially, & when we asked for it, it took quite a long time to arrive. Overall, it's a good place for quality Iranian food, especially if you're there for the kebabs. Hope they keep their quality.
