Akhavan Restaurant Montreal

We sampled some of the grilled meat platters and sandwiches, and found them all to be delicious. There's nothing quite like the flavor of meat fresh off the grill.

I was pleasantly surprised by this grocery store that sells Persian foods. As a returning native, the shop was new to me. The lamb and beef meat plates were excellent, the rice was irresistible, and if you're visiting from the States, be sure to try some Iranian pistachios. You can't find them south of the border, and they are truly wonderful. The staff was uniformly charming and helpful.

We have visited this restaurant several times and always had a great experience with the food. It is a family-owned establishment that serves delicious dishes. The father, who is the chef, often comes out to greet customers and answer any questions about the preparation of the dishes. Other family members are also attentive to customer requests and can suggest dishes to try. The rice is a favorite among all of us. The option to bring your own bottle is fantastic and there are no surprise charges on the bill at the end of the meal. We highly recommend visiting this restaurant and trying the food for yourself.

I ordered a persian food and after having I noticed that the plate was extremely old and in a non hygienic condition. Nobody was sorry about it in Akhavan. Generally, the hygiene is not an important issue there so avoid its restaurant.
