Quartier-Perse authentic Persian Cooking in Montreal

We were there last night and everything was outstanding: service was fast and we felt welcomed, the food was tasty, the music was not too loud. We will come back for sure. Food

What an excellent restaurant. The food was delicious and we were so well taken care of by the staff. Would go back!

Impeccable service, disconcerting speed, warm atmosphere, loyal customers. Classic Persian food, quality meat, good portion. Bring your own wine. Very pleasant to go to a restaurant which in 2024 treats its customers with respect, courtesy and professionalism. Qualities that make it a great restaurant since it is now rare to find this way. Honestly, looking forward to coming back.

The food is simply delicious! This is a good place for children too.

Exceptional meal and service. The meats were delectable, and the atmosphere was very warm. Loved it!

The mixed grilled platter was very good and gluten free (celiac, without any reaction)! The saffron ice cream was also very tasty!

There were two pieces of stone in my food, which caused me a toothache. My order zereshk polow but the stone was in the food and now I have a severe toothache

Quartier Perse is a gem! The ambiance is cozy, and the staff is welcoming and attentive. The food was exceptional authentic Persian flavors that are perfectly seasoned. We loved the koobideh kebabs and saffron rice, which were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving a genuine Persian dining experience!

Best Persian food i ever tried. Nice vibes, lovely owners BYOW

Best Persian food in town

Best Persian restaurant ! Highly recommend!

Best Persian food ever !

My favorite restaurant for Persian food! The food is always fantastic and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend!

Best Persian restaurant in Montreal. We have been going there for over 20 years. You can discover a whole range of authentic Persian dishes (their rice is incredible).

Personnel non professionnel, nourriture unsatisfaisante par rapport au prix et ambiance inadaptée pour un restaurant. Dans lensemble, ce nétait pas une bonne expérience, et je ne le recommande pas. Unprofessional staff, unfavorable food for the price and disproportionate space for the restaurant, overall it was not a good experience and I do not recommend it.

Incredible food and service! Highly recommended

The staff here are super friendly, and the manager was so respectful and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing full of flavour and just perfect!

The service was very good and the food is the best ambiance is very good the truth is really the best between all Iranian restaurants in motreal

Delicious kebabs and very authentic taste. Got the platter for two and was happy with the value of the meal. Parked for free on an adjacent street.

Very good food and fast friendly service!

Everyone there is just so polite and friendly. The food was amazing. If you wanna try real Persian food, this restaurant is the best place for it.

unprofessional staff, rude and disrespectful.

Hands down the best Persian kebab in town. The food is amazing, service is friendly and the ambiance is cosy. Changing my review because after a few visits, the food has been inconsistent and the lady manager is extremely rude and dismissive!

Very nice manager and staff

Yeah I regret coming here to eat. I should have reconsidered being the only customer. Dont even bother if you are vegetarian. The price wasnt worth the one veggie skewer.

We are happy to have a nice pizza place in Laval

I love Persian food and went there in Montreal. Service top, food very tasty! Kabob Sultani 2, Dough and a very tasty eggplant starter. Nothing more is possible. Very authentic and pleasant. Id love to come back.

Lovely Persian restaurant with great food and phenomenal service!!!

The food is excellent. Saffron rice what a taste.

Serving!! We are disappointed with our choice!! Too expensive, no quality!!

To avoid it, stale meal that I sent back but still had to pay 42 dollars,

I had a bad experience in this restaurant, bad meal and the price is very expensive, its a shame that its called an Iranian restaurant

Hi The service was good but the food quality was dispointing specially the Barg in the soltani Hope this comment will help to have better quality or at least try Merci

Maybe I went there with high expectations since it s known to be the best persan food in montreal? -Food was average -Restaurant was dirty overall ( the table and the chairs ..) , disgusting toilets -Very loud noisy old speaker that will just give you migraine -And poor ventilation the smell of burning food was so strong that I left with a headache The staff was nice though

The food was really good, well cooked. They need to probably renovate as the atmosphere became a little used. Service was amazing, waitress were running to get the orders. Really enjoyed it and recommending everyone to try. Food

The Food is soooo Authentic and Delicious that my son who is extremely picky loves it. The Obsession with all of the sides that just make the Mains shine is truly a work of art. Thank you to the wonderful family who have fed us from their hearts.

Delicious and authentic food, and its BYOB! Service is always friendly and great. One of our favorite places!

Worst customer service. Unfortunately the food was good so i kept going back but over time I had so many disappointments with regards to the way they treat their customers including myself many times. It was the last time I went there . 15 min before closing time when we had even paid our bill and was having the last sip of our tea she comes and asking us to leave on a saturday night when there is two other tables eating!!!! Unacceptable customer service ! So rude ! Never again

I ve tried this place three times, and each time the quality of the food, specifically the Koobideh, was inconsistent. The first time it was awesome, the second time it was inedible. However, due to the positive experience the first time, I gave it another chance, but unfortunately, they disappointed me again with a super mediocre Koobideh. Overall, it s definitely not a place I would recommend, especially for someone trying Persian food for the first time.

The dips, the rice, the soup, the meats and the salad, all incredibly delicious. Bottom line .everything was great. We were seven friends on a Saturday night, Great comments from all. The service was outstanding. Thank you for a great memorable evening. Joe and Rosie

Constructive criticism. Please clean the kitchen a bit more. My canadian friends that I invited, took a picture of part of the kitchen floor under the fridge and the washroom and showed me. I was so embarrassed A small renovation on the walls and washroom with a modest persian decoration will do the job. You can turn this place around and have much more customers Im hoping one day to come back and see the changes youve made. I would love for this restaurant to get to a higher level. The food is ok....the rest has to catch up.

Delicious food and great atmosphere!

It feels like home ! Amazing food and service.

Worst service I ve ever seen in my life. We booked for 6 person 2 weeks in advance, the owner asked me to confirm with text, which I did and she responded back. We got there on the date that we had reservation and she denied everything first, then said unfortunately we are fully booked , she didn t even offer anything, was so rude and said: now this is what it is , what do you want me to do!! I also showed her the text that she sent me and confirmed but still she didn t care ! We had a confirmed reservation from 2 weeks in advance and no table !! So rude and careless! Such a shame for the rich Persian culture that is presented this way!!!!

Always great quality of food and service

Great food, good service and reasonable price

I saw the reviews and pictures before, but doesnt do the food justice. My first time at a Persian restaurant and I will definitely be back. Best kababs Ive ever had! Pictutres here are the barg and koubideh, better than the stew IMO and Im not a Kabab person usually so thats saying something. The marinated olives in pomegranate and walnut, OMG! (Zaitun parvardeh). Even the salad and soup were delicious. The tea is a must. The only reason for not 5 star across the board is the ambiance/déco but its about the food for me. It gave cabane a sucre vibes which was fun and family style but not overly romantic or fancy. Again that doesnt take away from the quality of food! Parking was pleasantly easy off a side street, and right next to villa Maria metro stop.

Great food and wonderful kebabs!!! Very friendly staff and cozy (but somewhat decadent) atmosphere

Excellent food, friendly service, welcoming person.

Simply the best

Delicious barley soup, chicken very tasteful, highly recommended.

A hidden gem in Montreal. The meat is incredible. The staff make you feel at home. The atmosphere is welcoming and unique. Worth the trip.

The food is ok, the service is good, the location and ambiance not so much. Its a bit overpriced in my opinion.

The kebab koobideh was ok a little too dry, My friend had kebab barg and she didnt like it that much,compre the quality it was too expensive. Nice people and atmosphere

Food is amazing but the tea is really cold

Horrible rude staff from the moment we walked in. The food was disgusting. We tried the plate with all the meats and they had a foul smell. No one checked in the entire time we were there. Worst Iranian restaurant in MTL unfortunately. 0/10

Pros: Delicious food, clean, numerous options and polite staff members. Cons: pricy, small (better book a table in advance) and an unpleasant exterior/entry that screams for some renovations!

I was very impressed by the quality of their meat (The Chicken and Kebab were Perfectly Cooked) In my opinion its the BEST Persian restaurant in Montreal. Food and Service are Top Notch! Highly recommend it

The owner and people that are serving you is like they have been forced to be there and do the work !!!! You can smell the meat , service 0 .

The food is great. I order the table dhote for 2 people. Recommended! You get soup or salad as the appetizer. They are really appetizing. Then for the main course you got all the kabab, chicken, meat, fillet mignon. As the desert you got tea and baklava. The staff was really nice too and attentive. I will come back again for another menu.

Very good food and service

Authentic Persian food, would come back again !

Good and tasty food, staff need training.

Very delicious, well prepared food, cordial service. An excellent example of Persian cuisine.

Food is insane! Love going to that place!

Great Persian restaurant in Montreal! We ordered the mixed grilled platter and we wanted our Kabab raw and the it was perfect! The only downside is the Basmati rice instead of Persian rice, but great value for price and you can bring your own wine which is a great plus. Highly recommend!

Rude , unprofessional and disrespectful behavior of manager . I don t recommend it

Delicious food, very friendly staff, you cannot go wrong stopping by here. I will come back here again and recommend having the chicken it was incredibly juicy and tasty

Food is good but the place needs a bit of cleaning up and maintenance. There are damaged walls and corners that kill the mood.

Low quality Persian food. For a food of this price the rice was not Iranian, half a tomato came with the kebab and it wasn t that tasty as well! The baghali polo wasn t anything like a baghalipolo.

terrible food hygiene issues discourteous staff

The cashier was really rude to me; she tried to force me to pay a certain amount of tip in a disrespectful way. If there is a service fee, they should clearly add it to the price, so it is taxable and good for the economy. Otherwise, it is not appropriate to impose an extra cost on clients through the tip, which is supposed to be paid voluntarily, based on satisfaction.I paid for five guests, and the tip was nothing compared to my bill. I felt so disappointed in an imprtant night in my life and will never return to this restaurant!

Great service and the food is delicious!

Food was good. And the service as well.

The place is very cosy and you feel that you eat your mothers food and the waiters are very good

Fantastic family place

Great food and wide options. Good place for Iranians as well as people from any origin to get to know Iranian culture and experience the pleasure of Iranian cuisine with nice crew... highly recommended!

The staff is wonderful. Ive dined in and gotten takeout. The staff is warm, kindhearted, and professional. The food is delicious. Their Joojeh kabab is perfect! Its a BYOW, which is always fun. Persian rice is a must if youve never tried it.

The koobideh was really amazing. Joojeh was a little bit dry but solid service with great food in general. Make sure to ask for tea at the end to wash everything down!

Unpleasant Resturant, don t recommend at all, for several reasons: 1- Being poor in service. 2- using dirty dishes and inappropriate spoons and forks and knife full of scratches, really disgusting. 3-Unfriendly welcoming and behaviour. 4 - Poor quality of food and pricy. 5- Very noisy room. In fact, I wasted money and time, it was the worst Persian Resturant that I ve ever seen in Montreal.

Quality of food was acceptable, but totally unprofessional waiters. I had the feeling that they are not satisfied with their job. Also, felt a bit of rudeness in their behavior.

Authentic and good Persian food!

Friendly ppl, good service, food was ok Terrace is next to the street (so could be relatively noisy) Food

The food was great service was amazing best service and quality and quantity of the food was amazing

Great service, food, and hospitality.

The best Persian food in Montreal. Feels like eating kabob in Iran great service and ambience. Absolutely the BEST saffron ice cream Would definitely recommend. Food

The quality of the cuisine is a sure value.

Great and we eat very well

It was very good and the staff were very friendly. They give big plates so if you are not very hungry I advise you to share one for two.

One of the better Persian restaurants in the city and definitely in the neighborhood (NDG). I tried the Makhloot for 4 which was delightful, served with fresh pita. The Shireen Polow with the lamb shank was one of the stars of the evening, as well as the Fixed menu (Table dhôte) for 2 - in which Id recommend switching the regular filet mignon with the barg (Persian style). The baklava and tea at the end were a great addition. The servers were kind, patient and helpful with details regarding the menu and the options. Would recommend the terrace if youre there in the summer! A great experience, overall!

This place has gone downhill fast! Paid a fortune. Our meals were half the normal size or even smaller, they charged us for a meal we didn t have. Creepy atmosphere. Surprising how they turned around so quickly. So sorry to have to give a bad rating, but it s honest! Be warned.

Best food in Montreal Everyone is so nice

Very cosy atmosphere, staff were very friendly and food was delicious. Highly recommend

Poor customer service, somebody should teach them the basics of customer service like welcoming the guests or say hi. They are so rude and expect everyone bow them when enter the restaurant. The food is good except they don t listen to clients comments like well-done level. I believe it comes back to their low level of respect. They are a bunch of nobody ppl who think they are somebody lol They need some basic trainings for all staff to see what s happening in the reliable restaurants in Montreal and fix their poor internal culture.

Food was not enough. Dishes were dirty, worst experience. They asked for 15% mandatory tip even though service was horrible

Worst Persian restaurant I have ever been to. Food was not enough, dishes were dirty and service was not good. Not recommended at all.

Worst Persian restaurant in town. Not recommended.

The food and service is excellent and the prices are not exorbitant Perfect for a date or a family dinner

Get the kebabs!!!

Its a shame, neither the meal nor the service was good. We were disappointed :(

High-quality delicious Persian dishes. The staff were super welcoming and friendly. Great atmosphere. They made our special dinner more special and memorable. Highly recommend the restaurant for foody people!

The restaurant is quite cozy, the tables near each other, but I liked the atmosphere! The staff was very welcoming and friendly and checked a lot at the table to get feedback on the food and see if we needed anything more. We were a group of 3 and we took a menu for 2 people (over 60$) and split the bill for 3 (20$/person) We got served enough for 3, I found the food quite good! Pretty pricy, but good quantities and taste.

I highly recommend this restaurant for its authentic iranian food. Don t forget to drink their tea and the Safran ice cream

Absolutely delicious restaurant must try

Good value for money, the service is welcoming and patient. The dishes are beautiful and good. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Food is usually great but not alway same quality , I keep asking well cook but they don t listen and waitress s blame the kitchen for Not reading the requests , love the female owner Miss Mahin She s amazing . Food

We did takeout and since I m half Iranian and from Toronto where we have the best Persian food, I can say that this is definitely the best koobideh (juicy and tasty) and Persian food in Montreal, we ll definitely be going back, everything was fresh and good quality and tasty, and they were very nice and gave us an extra side complimentary and extra tomatoes. The takeout was packaged very clean and nice and easy to carry out too - it was still juicy and hot and great after driving it home. I m really happy that I finally tried this place and found a good Persian restaurant in Montreal, the only one I will ever eat at again. I gave it a 5 for Montreal but because it s the best in Montreal, but comparing it to California or Toronto - which has the best Persian food in the world it would have gotten a 3.5.

Really good homemade like food. Its one of the best lamb shank dishes I have tried. Its a totally recommended place to with family and have a good meal. Food : 5/5

Lamb and rice was AMAZING!!!!! Staff very friendly, portion were generous. Clean place and washroom. It s just an awesome place!!!!!

great

Dont go there!

The best Persian restaurant in Montreal!

This place is underrated even when ordering online. They always get the basmati rice on point and the lamb is so flavourful.

The biggest problem in this restaurant is their bad Attitude. Very low class people ! Never recommend this restaurant

The food taste very bad and the manager and staff are low class crazy

Delicious Kobideh

The quantity on the plate not enough for the price paid. In addition I was very cold because of the poorly insulated window next to me and the toilet was freezing but the service was good. It is necessary to decorate and paint the place better for the atmosphere. And heat better especially in winter.

The food is great, the staff are friendly! It seems like the place is under renovation. The asmosphere could be better. I was expecting more classy.

Good service, a little slow but normal on a weekday evening. Excellent !

It was simply DELICIOUS , it is highly recommended. We all enjoyed our food. The ladies serving the food are very nice.

The staff members were incredibly nice. Every course was served with care and hopitality. The food was great! We had makhloot for the entre, and lamb shank and soltani for the main dish. All of them were so tasty. Everything was great. I recommend the saffron and rose water ice cream for the dessert!!

Very. Tasty. Food. The best. And. Nice place good service

We have been coming here for 20 years and it is still that beautiful incredible journey into the delicacies of authentic Persian food since day 1! Everything from the aromatic appetizers to the delicious and tender meat is perfect! Great hospitality as well! We are always treated as family. Bravo and may you guys be around for another 20!

The food was expensive and relatively cold! The menu s rice wasn t Iranian type, although I asked them and they said absolutely yes!!!

This is an amazing place, we have been coming here for years and have seen nothing but good service. Both of the owners, the husband and the wife, go above and beyond every time to do everything possible. The food is great, the atmosphere is wonderful and the price is very reasonable. I am very baffled about any reviews on disrespectfulness, and other stuff, in the past fifteen years or so we have seen nothing of the kind. If you are looking for a good place with a warm and friendly family environment, then is the very cozy place to go to definitely recommend them. Where

Wow, this is an amazing place, I was there tonight and nothing but praise for this place. I usually order food during the day and lunch time, but the evenings are just as good if not better. It s really an amazing family place that is always packed. The food is really great and the owners just run around to please people, who are not always satisfied of course. The price is very reasonable and bring you own wine is an excellent feature of this place definitely recommend this place.

We have been going to this restaurant for so long, very high quality food, very warm and friendly atmosphere and the most important advantage is the owners(Mahon joon and Mr.Siamak) are amazing people.

First time at this Persian restaurant and it will not be our last. Food was delicious I recommend this restaurant to family and friends.

Best restaurant in Montréal for Persian food, and its BYOB to boot! Ive been dining regularly at Quartier Perse for more than 20 years, and Ive seen the owners transform this little place, with their relentless work and commitment to quality, into one of the true gems of Montréal. Edit: they now have renovated their interior, its even better and can sit more people!

The food is just ok, the service wasnt bad and the ambiance is mediocre. Prices are high though.

My vegetarian dish was very good. This restaurant needs some enchantements in some areas like management, service, greeting s behaviour, food presentation and especially on desserts! My friend ordered Baklava but unfortunately its crust hardened into brittle form and became difficult to chew as well as dried out! It was not even an authentic Buklava. Desserts play an important role in restaurant business. Montrealers love to be served with high quality desserts. It is very crucial for a restaurant reputation to pay attention to for example not to over cook the fish, not to use food colouring instead of Saffron etc.

The service, the attitude of the staff, the quality of the food was very good, especially the shallot yogurt You are hot

Excellent service, very friendly and welcoming. The kebabs with rice and vegetables were sensational. Overall a great place to go for delicious Persian cuisine

Not a pleasant service or treatment, and i usually dont care if the servers are rude, but this place was another level

Everything Ive tried here has been delicious!

If I had an option to give them zero, I would. Very rude server (Maryam khanum)

Couldn t ask for any better Persian food after a long day hiking! The management kept their kitchen open and took our take our order even though they were almost closing Their barely soup ( ) lamb shank ( ), koubideh, Barg & ghormeh sabzi were amazing!

I find the staff very disrespectful they only respect their regular clients.

Friday, July 8, 2022. The worst restaurant and customer service I ve ever experienced. Had a reservation for 6 people to be seated outside, took them a whole hour to fix everything for us. Our waitress, short and dark brown hair was very pushy and in a rush with taking our orders. We were enjoying our time catching up with friends to be told by 5 different people they re closing after we were seated an hour later. A women with dark brown hair, in a pony tail came and started arguing with us that they re closed and her workers husbands we re waiting for them to go home. And how is that our problem? When management was so rude and unprofessional from the start. All in all, I would not recommend, don t waste your time going there. There are way better middle eastern restaurants out there. A very, very disgusting environment. Save your money and time! 1,000 thumbs down for Quartier Perse!

Yesterday my frist time there. And i wasnt happy about the bathroom because for the ladys was out service and at the enter the sters are very hight they should fix it as soon posible the food wasnt that great and is hard to find a parking

I wish I could give even one star. We went to this restaurant with my wifes family, who came from Iran, and unfortunately, the rude behavior of the staff there made us feel ashamed in front of our parents. The personnel of Kakhtieh Press did not have any smell of politeness and hospitality and they treated us with perfect Peruvianness and frown.

Not a pleasant service or treatment, and i usually dont care if the servers are rude, but this place was another level

As per schedule we walked around 08:45 PM and waitress was not happy at all and asked us to order and eat quick! So she repeated the same words when she was talking to her colleague about us. Food was good but the service could be better!

Shrinkflation after Covid (sizes shrink, but youre paying more). Weak service.

The presentation is good. The flavor is good but not wow.

Amazing Persian food, absolutely loved it. Very good, kind and fast service. The restaurant is lovely looking in the inside. Would recommend, definitely check it out if you re in the area!

Quartier-Perse was a nice casual Persian restaurant we found in Montreal. Food was very good! We had the beef Soltani and joojeh kabob and both were juicy and nicely cooked. Salad accompaniment was nice and fresh. We also had a great creamy small Mast-o-khiar ( yogurt with cucumbers) topped with raisins. The chai or tea was lovely and aromatic. We visited this restaurant twice in a week so we liked it!

Delicious food, very attentive and pleasant staff, and a great evening.

The food does not worth the money you spend. Rice quality was awful, Kebab quality is so bad. The staff are improfessional. The menue was not correct. This review is based upon my several visits I have had

Delicious Iranian food, bring your own wine. Great value for money

Delicious food, amazing hospitality. I rented the entire restaurant for my wedding, ceremony included, and I couldnt have asked for better service. The staff worked with us to fit our timeline and the food was so delicious! My favourite is the zaitun parvardeh. Highly recommend!!

Held at wedding for 70 people here over the weekend. Everyone was so helpful throughout the planning stages. On the day of the event they assisted us in setting the tables and storing wine, champagne etc (bring your own). The food was excellent as was the service!! They even packed up the leftovers and had put it in our car (which was valet parked) at the end of the night. If you re planning a wedding for 70 people or less (or just looking for an excellent, affordable meal) I can t recommend Quartier Perse more highly!!

Authentic Persian/Iranian food for a Sunday family lunch! The mirza ghassemi, zaytoon parvahdeh were delicious served with grilled pita bread as appetizers. The creamy dressing for the salad of the day as well as the lentil soup were equally as tasty. The kebabs were tender, the rice was fluffy and seasoned with saffron, and the service was extremely friendly ! Highly recommend !

Friendly, competent staff. The food was very good, however some dishes on the menu were not available. Basic decor. Bring your own bottle!

The restaurant didnt have our table ready when we arrived, even though weve booked more than a month in advance. They didnt have all the dishes written on the menu. There is no air conditioner and with a very low ceiling, the whole ambiance is not very pleasant. Very noisy, without nice music.

Amazing place and very delicious food beside friendly atmosphere keep going

Excellent all-around.

Rats in the building needs health inspectors

Went for dinner with a big group. Tasty and good portions. Dessert was freshly made and warm. Strongly recommend.

I love this place. The food is incredible so clean and delicious, hands down the best Persian food I ever had

Must go, amazing staff, wonderful food, try the chicken, filet mignon, and kebab, best Persian food in town.

The labor behind the counter was too rude, and her behavior was so terrible. Moreover, the prices of foods were too expensive, so it is not worth it to spend money on them. The environment also was so noisy and annoying. It was the first and the last time that I went there. I do not recommend this restaurant at all.

Absolutely not recommended! Awful customer service! Rude and abnormal behavior of some staff! They served burnt bread! Vegetables were not fresh in salad plate! Insects were around us and on our table, although we went in winter! Mandatory tip on their machine! Even one of them started complaining why you do not pay at least %15 tip! Unprofessional team!
