Some of the best kabob I've ever had. Also best hospitality as well. It was soooo good.

I'm only in montreal once a year i always make sure to order from here even if im not hungry because its one of the most authentic koobideh i've ever tasted. Tastes just like my father makes it and its tender and juicy. 10/10 I always think of this place when i eat kebab in the US because it's never even close. Thank you! read more

Small Persian restaurant near Atwater market. Staff is very friendly and quick to serve meals. I was there on a quieter night pre-COVID but it got busier as the night went on. When you walk in, you are greeted with pita, onions, butter and green herbs. For appetizers: I had the delicious asheh reshteh which is a classic Persian soup with all kinds of herbs and beans. One of my favourites :-) I also had the mirze ghasemi which is an eggplant spread made with eggs & tomato sauce. Both of these appetizers are great for vegetarians & meat lovers. For the main dish, my ULTIMATE favorite of all Persian stews, ghormeh sabzi. This is a stew that takes hours to prepare with many herbs, kidney beans and meat. Not the prettiest dish, I will admit, but do not judge by it's looks! This is the ultimate favourite of all Persians & there's a reason for it ;-) Overall, a good experience. They get bonus points for not rushing to get rid of us when we finished our meal, which I appreciate. If you're looking for Persian restaurant in that area, check them out. If you've never had Persian food in your life, you're missing out ;-) read more

Took for ever for our food which was a basic appetizer to be prepared. After arriving had a very burnt taste. Other dishes were definitely not fresh & felt it was made few days ago & was presented as special of the day. But hey server was nice & we did let her know how we felt about our food, & she didn't say anything ‍ read more

Great spot. I'm not Persian but it was all delicious. Soup, Greek salad, crazy chicken, Persian tea. Friendly service. Iranian hits in the tv. Recommend. read more

I love good cheap eats and MdK is one of them! But please bring cash! I was recommended by my Iranian colleague to try as this was his family's go to place. Decor is very humble with two TVs playing music videos. It's a small place. IMO there are 2 failsafe dishes to order--the Kubideh and the Crazy Chicken (choice of legs or breast). Each dish comes with a choice of soup or salad. Note, the soup is made with lentils so it's verrry filling. I prefer the salad though they're maybe too generous on the salad dressing! The soup for me, is an acquired taste, so I don't particularly enjoy it. You're also served toasted pita with raw onions, parsley and butter. I'm having difficulty eating the raw onion, parsley pita sandwiches but it's there if you like it! When your side of rice enough to feed three people arrives, first things first is slather some butter on it, then sprinkle lots of sumac, then cut up the roasted tomato in little bits and drizzle a bit of lemon juice. According to my Iranian friend, that, is the way to eat the rice :) Drizzle the remaining lemon juice on the rest of the meat. I love kubideh cause it's so juicy and got such a nice meaty flavor. I also really enjoy the Crazy Chicken, very generous 5 portions of chicken thigh and with a delicious grilled flavor. read more

This is a Cash Only (in local currency) establishment. In the days of Apple Pay, perhaps one of the only ones in North America. The atmosphere is nice and the food is pretty darn good! The chef knows what he's is doing. I would recommend any of the kebabs. We tried the bone-in chicken (joojeh), the filet-mignon (barg), and the ground-beef (koobideh) skewers with rice, garlic yogurt, and saffron tea to top it off. The prices are reasonable and the small place can get packed pretty easily. It would get more stars from me if the service was better and more payment options were available. read more

Love this place.... This is a hidden gem a few streets down from the hustle bustle of downtown Montreal. So we spent the entire day trying to find parking downtown. Omg never again! Next time no coming to downtown my mom said:( This place had authentic Persian/ Irani food that I have been craving for a while now:) The sugar pouches are so cute. We got soup with our dinner. Reminded me of Mercimak soup with butter and mint. The fact that I could check my car right outside gave me some peace of mind. They're open untill 11 PM which was amazing as we are night owls. read more

My my my, truly one of the best in Montreal for an amazing kebab. The prices have gone up but the koobideh is always a bargain for $11.50 for 2 skewers. Always order the Ash soup, you will not regret it ( although you only get half the quantity when it's Here's how I do it each and every time, grab some raw onions and parsley, wrap in in the buttered and toasted pita and open up the appetite. They do pile on the rice but it is truly wonderful with the saffron and lindenberries and you can load it up with butter and sumac. The broiled and charred tomato also oozes juices into the rice. The meat selection is small but they do it so well. The appetizers are also great, eggplant and the yoghurt dip, at that point it's better to get the hunter's platter. I do have to mention how cold it gets near the Windows in the winter so best to eat away. The place is also pretty small so they can't really handle large groups read more

Having toured over Iran some years ago, I have always been on the lookout for authentic Persian cuisine. I was recommended Maison Kebab by a friend and after reading the reviews on Yelp, I can honestly say that this place truly is the real deal!   We entered the restaurant to the sounds of traditional melancholic Persian music filling the rather small space; from its simple interior and modest décor, to the eye catching plates of customers and the delightful aromas filling the air, I knew that I had finally found a gem.   As there are only about 10 tables, we were fortunate to not having to wait too long. The lovely lady serving us was super friendly and brought us over some Iranian naan with butter and herbs to munch on whilst we browsed the menu. I had the Ash Reshte soup for starters which was warm and comforting, perfect for the winter, filled with herbs and good stuff! I have to second Bobby's review below, if you are an eggplant lover then the Mirza Ghasemi is an absolute MUST! It truly was addictive, so much so that we had two helpings! Of course, my carnivore husband had to order the huge mixed meat platter - and boy, am I glad that he did! The meats were grilled to perfection, super succulent and if you want to enhance the flavours further, sprinkle some sumac all over for an extra tangy kick (you will thank me later). My favourite was the Kabab Barg, tender pieces of melt-in-the-mouth filet mignon. The crazy chicken and Koobideh were also equally delicious! All this alongside lavishly presented, jeweled basmati rice that has been tossed in butter and saffron and crowned with Zereshk (sour barberries) which together truly was a match made in heaven!   The portion sizes are very generous and having had so much for starters, we were unable to finish. Prices are reasonable and the service is exceptional - the woman in charge frequently came to check if the food was OK and offered us some strong Iranian tea at the end of our meal which was a real treat. Highly recommend Maison Kebab, it is definitely worth the trip from the South Shore! Just remember to bring cash. read more

Carnivore plate, you only need that. Very small but nice and warm persian restaurant not too far from the atwater market. Very fresh, tasty and high quality food is beeing served there. Allot of rice, onions, pita bread accompany the great plate of chicken and beef kebabs. Very reasonable prices and very good food I recommend over many persian restaurants in the area. A new favorite. read more

Make sure you do not say "I'm craving meat" out loud in the presence of unknown men. Be specific and say "I am craving Maison de Kebab" because this is hands down, the best, THE BEST, kebab joint in Montreal! Don't be fooled by the humble exterior of this little Persian resto that could. With it's 8 or 9 tables, usually filled with Iranian patrons, and Iranian satellite TV on, plain tables and chairs, Spartan surroundings, these people make meat addictive! First off, the one dish you absolutely have to start with is the Mirza Ghasemi, a puréed eggplant dish that must have crack cocaine in it, you cannot stop eating it, it's *that* good. In fact when you've scooped up the last shred of it, you'll start to wonder if you should order another helping. By all means do. Then there is the rice, a long, delicate, fragrant variety reminiscent of Indian basmati , but it isn't basmati rice, infused with saffron, a clodd of rice with melted butter and topped with a generous helping of dried, tart red barberries ( Zereshk Berries), giving each mouthful a jolt of sweet, tart yumminess. For a $4 charge, you can ask for extra berries and they will give it to you. Then there is the meat. Dear Reader, you have truly not lived until you have the grilled meat done like the way they do it here. Moist, savoury and done just right, you will develop an addiction. You will crave it like no other. The days where you suddenly develop a craving, you will wonder if you can jam in a quick visit to La Maison de Kebab. This is one of the things I love about Montreal, that small, hidden, dives, with no fanfare, no marketing, no following, still serves better food than some of these more pricier, popular joints where you are paying more for the attitude than the food itself. Who needs that? Go to La Maison de Kebab instead. read more

This spot doesn't look like much, but it's actually quite delicious! The meat was wonderfully cooked and seasoned and the portions were huge. My only downvotes would be on the cleanliness of the tablecloths, which turned me off a little bit, and the fact that it is CASH ONLY and there wasn't clear signage stating this before I went in. read more

This is one of those places that is so good and satisying that it ventures into "last meal" territory. The meat. My god, the meat! The folks here are doing things with Kebab meat that are so insanely addictive- it will make you lose your mind, leave your husband, divorce your kids and go on a cross country crime spree. Later, when the judge lays the iron hand down on you - just tell him you had been eating at Maison De Kebab beforehand. He'll understand and let you off. And if he doesnt - hey, at least you know what to request for your last meal. read more

I have a friend that come here all the time with her hubby and one day I happen to be with them and believe me I am glad I was. It is a little place but full of treasure. The service is great and so fast. I was skeptical to try the pita, onion piece and better that is served while you wait for your meal but once I did I was surprise how good it was. Since then I have been there so many time and the food...especially the meat is unbelievably amazing and so addictive. So please don't let the outside decor fool you because if you don't go you will miss out on the best persian food I ever had but bring cash or a credit card because they don't take debit read more

When I travel, I feel compelled to eat at as many different restaurants as I can. I figure if you're only going to be there temporarily you should try as many different things as you possibly can! On my recent 3-week business trip to Montréal, there were only two restaurants that I visited more than once. One of them was La Maison De Kebab. Of course, as others have previously said in one way or another, the meat here is delicious. Well seasoned and cooked beautifully, the large slab of fillet was plated alongside white and yellow rice and a side salad with a creamy, flavorful dressing. A random grilled tomato comes along for the ride, although I don't care for tomatoes so that stayed put. The meal was massive, but fantastic. Photo: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-maison-de-kebab-montreal?select=XrjW5AYHYOMHJkywZcEizw#6H2k8BP3eImk5Dx9c9D5Nw Now as much as I love that meal, I know that I've also experienced other excellent meals in the city. So why was La Maison De Kebab worthy of that second visit? Oddly enough, lentil soup. Before the meal came out on my first visit, I was given a bowl of lentil soup. I didn't know it was lentil soup at the time, even getting it was a surprise because it wasn't mentioned on the menu as a part of the meal. There's something special about it though, warming with a great thickness and texture. This tasty soup was topped with a drizzle of yogurt, and in the middle was what seemed to be some sort of mixture of blackened mint and maybe olive oil. I'm not sure, but it was fragrant and delicious, and it really elevated the soup to something spectacular. Photo: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-maison-de-kebab-montreal?select=XrjW5AYHYOMHJkywZcEizw#uc14oLnZD0l75_9HPClikA I went back to the loft and didn't stop thinking about that soup for the rest of my visit. I posted about it on Facebook, attempting to enlist the help of others in determining what type of soup it was so I could try to find it locally when I got home. I HAD to go back for a second visit, if only to find out what that soup was! Much to my dismay, it was "just" lentil soup -- there was no special name that I could refer to in a restaurant back home where they'd reply, "Oh yes! We have that exact soup that you are craving!" It's the best lentil soup I've ever had, but so much more than lentil soup, and in all likelihood I'll never see another like it until the next time I visit this beautiful city. read more

The food was great! We had the combination plate which had one skewer of barg, koobideh, and crazy chicken. We also had the mast o museer, everything was delicious! The service was lacking, however. The server was distracted after a while when her friend came to visit her. This is also also a cash only establishment and does not take any foreign money. read more

Not as eating onsite , rice over you meat is not a winner. You ahould do a better presentation for a 25$ plate to go. Nothing to do with the good old onsite eating experience. I'm not even in a Restaurant and I know what is good and what is bad. The taste is ok but not great like before. Please improve your food presentation at least. Looks like cafeteria food. This is not made and presented with love. read more

Enjoy! read more

To be honest, I was pretty disappointed. I got one of the beef dishes. The beef was good. Not spectacular, not terrible. It was just good. Great texture, average flavor. The rice was ok too, but the sheer volume of it was completely unnecessary. The main dishes all come with soup or salad, and deciding to go the light route, I took the green salad. It was just some iceberg lettuce, a tiny bit of purple cabbage, and this tangy dressing that I wasn't too fond of. And then I got this basket of crispy, half burnt pita. That was a bummer. I came here because I saw the good reviews, I live close by, and I just wasn't feeling like cooking dinner. But honestly, I left wishing I had saved my $15 and just made a PB&J or something. I guess if you really want persian food, it's there, it's not terrible, but I wouldn't make a point to go back. On the plus side, service is fairly fast (though, a little cold). read more

Last week I went three times to this place. It is excellent. I always have their special with 3 different kinds of kebabs or the sultani that comes with two. I totally recommend the cucumber togurt read more

I work nearby and was introduced to Maison de Kebab by my Persian co-workers. A sign that the food is good and price is reasonable is the fact that many of the city taxi drivers have their lunch here during the week. From the outside, it's the essence of a "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant. With so much traffic on Atwater, the windows get dusty and dirty pretty quickly. When you go inside, the decor is dated and generally looks old and a bit run down. But I've never seen it "dirty". (You can check the City of Montreal health inspector website for any infractions for this restaurant.) Where the restaurant shines is the authentic Persian food. Excellent choices are the Kubideh platter or the Bone-In chicken. The boneless chicken kebab is usually hit or miss. Sometimes it can be a bit dry. Because the restaurant is so small, and atmosphere is lacking, I recommend ordering by phone and then just pick it up and eat at home or work. And remember that they are a cash-only business. No credit cards or debit machine available here. read more

Went here for lunch when I still lived in the area. It's popular, and for a good reason. The serving sizes are on the large size, and they're good value for money.

Been meaning to try this place since I moved into the neighbourhood but kept putting it off. Finally took the plunge and it was absolutely incredible.

And best of all, this doesn't break the bank! Prices are reasonable, but do bring actual cash. read more

Tried this place with my dad a while back. The portions were generous but their chicken kababs aren't charbroiled entirely. It's more like semi cooked chicken finished off on charcoal, so that charcoal flavour doesn't penetrate in. Not impressed as there are much better options for chicken around town. read more

First time visiting this place after a recommendation from a friend's friend. First thought is it is a small place but we went ahead and tried it. Service was friendly and welcoming. They took our orders quickly and helped picked out stuff. We settled on the 2 people dinner platter which came with 3 types of meat, 3 appetizers and soup and salad. Everything was exceptionally well done and tasty. We thought the price is fair for all the food we got 33$ for the dinner for two. The rest of the menu was between 10-20$ which isn't bad for a great tasting Persian restaurant. Ps. Don't forget the cash as they don't take debit or credit. read more
