There is nothing quite like a well-executed Persian meal, & tonight was a total triumph. From the rich, herbaceous depth of the Ash Reshte to the succulent, smoky notes of the Kobideh, every bite felt intentional & authentic. The rice was a fragrant cloud, & the saffron ice cream provided a golden, cooling finish. The warm service (shoutout to our lovely waitress!That smile…) made an already great meal feel like a special occasion. A neighborhood gem!
Excellent Persian food! The kebabs are perfectly grilled, juicy, & full of flavor. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, & friendly service. Highly recommended if you're looking for authentic Iranian cuisine in Montreal.
Vraiment une superbe découverte! Les kebabs chez Bonab Kabob sont incroyablement tendres, savoureux & remplis de vraies saveurs authentiques - parmi les meilleurs que j'ai goûtés à Montréal. Les roulades & le baklava étaient frais & délicieux, & le thé chaud par une soirée froide rend l'expérience encore meilleure. Un vrai petit trésor. Je recommande fortement!
Absolutely amazing experience at Bonab Kabob! The kebabs were incredibly tender, juicy, & full of rich authentic flavour - some of the best I've had in Montréal. The rolled cakes & baklava were fresh & delicious, & the warm tea on a cold snowy night made everything perfect. A true hidden gem. Highly recommended!
We had a truly fantastic lunch today (October 25, 2025) at Bonab Kabob Montreal, & we owe a huge thank you to Elmira!
Her warm welcome & professional service made our visit delightful. Elmira's knowledge of the menu (especially the kebabs) was very helpful, & her attention ensured our food arrived promptly. She is a valuable asset to this restaurant. We highly recommend Bonab Kabob for authentic Persian food & the wonderful hospitality provided by staff like Elmira. We will definitely be back!
Best Persian restaurant in town! After trying a few other Persian spots, none have come close to meeting my expectations like this one. The food is absolutely delicious, the portions are generous, & the prices offer great value for money.
Mahin provided excellent service. She was very kind, quick, & professional, making sure we had everything we needed. Even with only two waitresses working, the service was outstanding.
The decor is beautiful & creates a warm, authentic atmosphere, enhanced by the lovely traditional music. Thank you again for the amazing food & wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

I recently visited Bonab Kabob on Sherbrooke St West in Montreal & had a great experience. I ordered the Bonab kebab with rice & salad along with a Persian Doogh, & everything was delicious. The portions were impressively large, definitely more than enough for one person.
We were served by Elmira, who was incredibly nice & attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. After our meal, she also brought us Persian tea, which was a lovely touch.
Overall, the food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm, & the service was outstanding. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving authentic Persian cuisine!
This place is truly a gem in Montreal! I love the attention to detail in the decor. Just look at that stunning ceiling! The authentic Persian music instantly transports you to another place, creating a warm & inviting atmosphere. Overall, everything was pleasant & enjoyable.
However, I did want to mention that there were some challenges with the service. Some guests at our table only spoke French, & the staff was unable to attend to them in their language, which was a bit inconvenient. Additionally, it was sometimes difficult to get the attention of the staff when needed, as they were often distracted behind the counter.
Despite these minor issues, I would definitely recommend this restaurant for its ambiance & authentic flavors.

We had a great time at the restaurant! The main dish comes with your choice of ash or salad - we chose the ash, & it was absolutely delicious.
We ordered the Bonab kebab, which was flavorful. After the meal, they kindly offered complimentary tea.
The restaurant was clean, & the staff were very warm & welcoming. I was especially touched by the beautiful photos of Iranian cities hung on the wall- they added a charming & authentic atmosphere.
One of our absolute favorite spots in Montreal!
Bonab is a gem of a Persian restaurant with incredibly kind & welcoming staff who always go out of their way to make us feel at home. It's a BYOW (bring your own wine) place, which makes it even more perfect for a fun evening with friends.
We usually go as a large group of 10 or more, & they handle everything so smoothly-from seating to service. The food is always fresh, authentic, & absolutely delicious. You can truly taste the love & tradition in every dish.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy amazing Iranian cuisine in a cozy & friendly atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!
Amazing food & great atmosphere! The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, & the service is super friendly. Our server, Mahin, was so helpful & made our experience even better. Definitely a must-try for Persian cuisine!
Bonab Kabob serves Kale Pache just right-rich, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. The broth is delicious, the meat is tender, & the portion is generous. Paired with fresh bread & lemon, it's a delicious & authentic experience. Friendly service makes it even better. A must-try for Kale Pache lovers!
Bonab Kebob is hands down one of the best Persian restaurants I've ever been to! The food is fresh, flavorful, & cooked to perfection. The kebabs are juicy & tender, especially the koobideh, which melts in your mouth. Their saffron rice is fragrant & pairs
perfectly with the grilled meats.
Beyond the food, the service is top-notch-friendly, attentive, & welcoming. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, making it a great spot for both casual meals & special occasions.
If you're looking for authentic Persian cuisine, Bonab Kebob is a must-visit! I can't wait to come back. Highly recommended! 🔥👌🍢
