| - 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.
