Review from Nicole S.
Montréal, QC
2/17/2012
Mix of traditional and contemporary Persian food with a few vegetarian options. Large plate sizes generally consisting of grilled meat plus rice and tomato. Meals come with starter ash soup (our server told us over 50 ingredients go into making it!!!) or salad and tea (although on my particular visit they only remembered to serve half of my party tea). Service is quick-food came out within 15 minutes!
Nice dinning room. Generally friendly staff (although I have also heard of poor management) but they did tend to rush us out the door despite not being particularly busy. Also, 3 or 4 different servers came to our table at different times...lack of communication or weird dinning service structure...?
Overall a nice spot for sit down Persian food. Miles above the city's plethora of kebab joints. My only complaint would be the service style, which make me not want to return. -

all good things come in 3s? add one more to the theory - Atmosphere, Service, & Food
Atmosphere: Tehran's atmosphere is the direct result of its history - its history in Montreal as well as the history of its cuisine. Tehran, which has had its doors open for well over a decade (perhaps closer to two) is in fact an Iranian rather than a Middle Eastern restaurant. Although Iranian cuisine consist of much (much) more thank just koobedeh (akin to kebab) and flavoured rice, Tehran makes a good business from offering the types of Persian dishes that the west has come to expect. Often frequented by many of the Persian community (a great sign), visit Tehran durning the month of Ramadan and see it buzz with families gathering for their Iffar (breaking of the fast) meal for a really unique experience.
Service: No objections on the efforts of the staff - they are kind and very willing to wait a few extra moments so that patrons can choose what they want. The staff certainly works hard (the place is often at capacity during dinner times) and so may be a little late in responding to requests.
Food: Tehran's food is well cooked and flavourful. However, it may be a little too quickly cooked at times, and appear overly oily. The menu is generous but not full to the point of being prohibitive. The wide selection of koobedeh and other meat dishes is the real attraction - but remember, these are but a small (small) sample of what Persian food really is (same as saying that Lebanese people don't just eat Shawarmas, Hummus, and Falafel either ;O)
Good family atmosphere, clean, and generous. -

Tehran is a wonderful establishment.
I've been an infrequent visitor for the past 10 years. I always wish I'd go more often.
The menu doesn't have too many options. But the choices you have are so flavourful that you won't feel lacking.
The plate sizes are quite large, though I have noticed that portions decreased a bit recently, and prices went up. Worry not, you'll still be stuffed and not spend too much.
Everyone should give Tehran a try. The food and service is delicious. And shame on someone rating a restaurant they've never been to and making a judgment based on hearsay. -

I gave this restaurant two stars not because of the lack of quality in food but because of the lack of quality in service.
I've been to this restaurant three times, and each time I've always enjoyed the food. Unfortunately each time, my experience was marred by bad service.
For some reason from the moment you sit down to the moment you leave, the waitress harasses you to make your decision, claiming it'll get packed later on (but that was never an issue), rushes you to finish your food - she kept coming to my table, ready to clear my plate away, and each time I had to tell her that I'm not finished yet. Finally when one of us were finished with our meal, she would come right away, take the plate, take the placemat and start wiping the table, while there were others who were still finishing their food.
The whole point of going out to eat is the relax and enjoy the food.
The whole 'hurried and almost pushy' attitude really takes away from the dining experience.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE and RUDE SERVICE! -

Please do not write reviews of a restaurant if you have never been to the establishment.
This was a great place to eat. Everything was outstanding. The wait staff was great and the food was wonderful. I asked if I could take the sumac which was on the table with me.
After dinner a compulsory baklava and Persian tea just can not be turned down. -

I have to boycott this place for ethical reasons. I've never been here before so I might be biased but past co-workers have said that the owners don't treat their staff very well and only pay them in tips under the table. I hate to be a bother but when I hear things like that I never want to go here.

Very rude staff and so unfriendly and rude to parents with kids. If you wanna go with your kids, make sure you buy a leach because they tell you right before you sit down that your kids cant leave thier seats. Very terrable :(
