| - My wife and I came here upon recommendation from a friend, so I didn't bother checking Yelp reviews. I should have because this is a cash only place, which I was not expecting. Ok so before I write the rest of this I will say that the food is good if you enjoy Iranian food. Also the waitress was fairly nice. That's all the good points I have in this review.
The bathroom was pretty filthy and if you're of the female gender, all I can say is good luck. You might have to hold it till you get home (or back to the hotel in our case).
My big beef with this place is (no pun intended) that nowhere do they display a sign (believe me, I checked) or even mention to patrons that this is a cash only place. IMHO if you're going to operate a cash only restaurant then you MUST inform people. So we ordered, and ate and got the rest of our meal packed up.
Then when it came time to pay, I was told to pay up at the front so I made my way over. I asked if debit is okay and I find out they do not accept debit or credit and "cash only" is the norm. The total came to about $38 bucks.So I had $40 in my pocket which actually was Extremely lucky, with a capital E, as I am one of those people that never carries more than a few bucks cash around. I paid the manager and yes I felt bad about not leaving more than change as a tip, but honestly what am I gonna do.. Walk for God knows how long and find a bank so I can leave a tip? Some of you may argue with this but sorry I wasn't about to do that.
Then I get back to my table and sit down. I take a last sip of my drink and get up to put my jacket on. I turn around and the manager is a foot away from me telling me that the "service charge" aka tip, is not included in the price (well, no kidding!). She proceeds to tell me in her most snarky voice, that she pays tax on my meal (note: I witnessed her not ring anything in the register and she gave me a verbal total), and it's customary to leave something.
I was thinking "seriously lady I can't believe you just said that" but I said, in my nicest and calmest indoor voice "Honestly I always leave a tip but I was intending to pay with my card and didn't know you only accept cash. Luckily I had $40 and I would've left more of a tip but that's all I had on me."
I then put on my jacket and left. One minute prior she would have got a raving review but that kind of rudeness is unacceptable. I would have come back to this place every time I came to Montreal but now I will not even recommend it as an option.Though the food is good, find another place that treats their customers with some respect.
