OMG Never had a food taste so amazing and home cooked and filled with flavor and aroma . It’s 100% cooked with love and great smile service , I would highly recommend it
What a treat to find Persian food this good. It's truly unlike any other cuisine, and you can lose yourself in saffron and rose water. Toranj had all of my favorites, and it was bliss.
We come with my boyfriend today and we discover this beautiful restaurant He served a delicious traditional dishes and the employees is very kind ! We recommend you to go !! Thank you for this wonderful moment
Amazing Iranian food, paying attention to all cultural details of serving including all on side components. Reasonable price. I strongly recommend if you wanna have to try real Persian cuisine.
Wonderful persian food, wonderful decorations. This restaurant was thoughtfully designed by someone who cares about Persian culture and cuisine. Food was also beautifully plated.
Amrita welcomed us and provided great service including making sure we knew about what we ordered- we love Persisn food so we do know but we appreciated her care. I had fessenjoon with Cornish hen - pictured. Tasty, beautiful and more than I could eat. The sauce was a good balance of the typical ingredients without being overly sweetened. Pistachios were a nice surprise along with more traditional almonds and pomegranate seeds. My husband enjoyed his gormeh sabzi. We ate at about 5:30 and we're the only people in the restaurant on a Friday. We knew it would be livelier a little later when the music would start and kebabs would be available. But we were hungry and it was nice to have Amrita's full attention for ourselves.
If you want to taste the delicious and authentic Iranian taste, you should try Cafe Toranj. They have the best kebabs in Montreal. You can have a good time in an Iranian environment. If you like to enjoy live Iranian music, you can try Saturday nights.
I took uber eats few times before and the food quality was good, it was my first time I went to this cafe in person, I should say I enjoyed the ambiance, decoration is nice, staff were friendly. I tried cafe and sweet which Persian apple pie was nice, however latte with pistachio could have been better(my expectation was higher), but in general I would recommend this spot.
