The service was incredible!! The food...like I will dream of it!!! I can't wait to come back! I fought the urge to order another plate!! I wanted to kiss the chef! Delicious! THANK YOU!

Diva #1 grew up running in and out of restaurants, her father always owned restaurants and she always had an uncle or two who had one as well. In the 90s the restaurant business was all about mom and pop restaurants, owned by families, with different generations working in the kitchen and on the floor. The menus were simple, usually geared towards the ethnicity of the family that owned the restaurant, and the décor was minimalist. In the 2000s restaurants became grander, chefs became celebrities, and the emphasis changed from family run restaurants to chef run restaurants.

Great neighborhood restaurant that is somewhat of a hidden gem. The menu is not a mile long, but what is on the menu is usually very delicious and enjoyable. The owners are Iranians and add their own special touch to the meals. Can be a bit pricey, but this is an unfortunate trend everywhere...

Best go-to restaurant in Westmount. We've been coming here for ten years. The service has never wavered in its hospitality and gracious attentions. Food is simply excellent, with its perfectly reliable Mediterranean cuisine and Italian, French, and Persian inflections. Other restaurants nearby come and go with varying degrees of hype, but this one remains the go-to restaurant for people in the know. Outshines all the rest in Westmount and the surrounding neighbourhood. Point final!

Delightful hidden gem!. Ate here last night with two friends. This restaurant is owned by an extremely friendly couple. Last time I had visited this restaurant was around 8 years ago, but it had stuck in my mind. This restaurant is not on a main boulevard...it is quaint and tucked away which adds to the charm of the place. When you walk in, you will feel like you walked into someone's kitchen.BYOB is always a delightful bonus. Server was very knowledgeable and friendly. All menu items are written on a chalkboard on the wall and are all table d'hotes they come with your choice of soup or salad. I had the red lentil soup to start, and as my entree ordered the Scallopini Piccata. I am fairly convinced this is the same dish I had ordered the first time I visited. The dish was delicious...chicken was extremely moist and flavored with a delicious lemon sauce. The side of garlic pasta was great and very garlicky which I like. The menu options are reasonably priced as well, ranging from $19.99 to around $28.99 I believe. If you want a delicious, home style meal which won't break the bank and will leave you walking out full and happy, you should try this restaurant. I'll be returning more often from now on.
