Excellent restaurant. The kafta was the best I have ever eaten in my life, fresh, flavorful, & perfectly prepared. El Mira served us with great kindness & professionalism, a polite & welcoming young lady who made us feel at home. I came with my son & my nephew, & the whole experience felt like eating a warm family meal. Highly recommended.

Great experience at Bonab kebab.
Warm & friendly atmosphere, delicious high-quality food, & excellent service.
Big thanks to Elmira for her kindness & great service.
Very fair prices for the quality. Highly recommended!
I had a great experience at Bonab Kabob. I
ordered the koobideh mix with chicken & beef, along with the Kashke Bademjan, & everything was honestly delicious. The meat was well-seasoned, juicy, & cooked perfectly, & the Kashke Bademjan had amazing flavor & texture. On top of that, the service was excellent-everyone was very kind, attentive, & welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back & would recommend this place to anyone looking for solid Persian food & great service.

I ate at Bonab Kabob & was honestly disappointed. The food tasted below average, especially considering the price. It ended up being the most expensive meal I've paid for at a restaurant in Canada, & the quality just didn't justify it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place.
We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. Special thanks to Elmira, our waitress - she was very kind, attentive, & professional.
The Yalda table was beautifully arranged & added a special touch to our visit. The atmosphere was good, calm, & quiet, which made it perfect for a relaxing meal.
We really enjoyed our time here & would definitely recommend it.
We visited Bonab Restaurant & had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was warm, & the food was delicious. Elmira, who took care of us, was fantastic, friendly, fast, & very attentive. She made sure everything was perfect. I had the Soltani kebab & the Bonab kebab-both were outstanding! I definitely recommend this place 👍

Just a great experience for a midday meal. Classic soups & stews for us which were really nicely prepared & presented. Special nod to the service which was friendly & efficient. Highly recommended checking this place out.
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!
I had an outstanding experience at Restaurant Banab. Everything was perfect - from the quality of the food to the atmosphere & overall service.
A special shout-out to Kiana, our waitress, who was absolutely amazing. She was extremely friendly, attentive, & professional. She made our experience so much better with her positive attitude & great customer service.
The food was delicious, fresh, & beautifully prepared. I'll definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place to everyone.

The Barg kebab here is the best we have tested so far. Highly recommended for everyone with difficult taste when it comes to meats. 😋😋😋
Now:
I'm really happy that after the first review I left four years ago, the quality is still excellent. Mahin joon, thank you for your warm hospitality.
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!
Service great, food fresh & atmosphere was warm & friendly. We had a family gathering here with 12 guests. Our service from Kiana was excellent. Portions were large & can easily be shared. The dishes looked good & the taste was even better. Bonab kebab(all lamb) was great! Bring your own wine & they will serve for you. Highly recommend this place for small or large gatherings!
