I think it's the only Persian restaurant in Montreal! So it worth visiting but I've eaten better Persian food in European countries! But I liked the vibe & staff were friendly & offered me Ash for free!

So far, I've had the most delicious koobideh in Montreal at this place. The quality of the food is consistently good, & the staff are friendly & welcoming. I highly recommend trying the koobideh bonab - it's full of flavor & perfectly cooked. We really like this spot, & whenever we're craving koobideh, it's always our first choice.
The quality of chicken kebab was perfect, it was soft & fully cooked & delicious. The employees had friendly behaviour. I recommend this restaurant for who wants to enjoy Persian meals.
Bonab continues to impress iranians & guests of iranians alike with consistently juicy & flavourful kebabs.
This is a family favourite for the past four years & continues to be our go-to delivery whenever we have non Iranian guests.
While their lengthy menu has plenty of variety, the kebabs remain the jewels of the selection. Their jujeh (chicken) kebab is moist & full of aromatic saffron. Their beef kebabs are consistent & cooked well.
While their stews & appetizers are not as spectacular, they still offer a delicious variety. The Mirza Ghasemi by far being the best selection of appetizer.
Having dined inside, as well as taken to go, as well as asked for delivery, we are well acquainted with all mediums of order.
When dining in, the staff were not the most hospitable. Unsure if this would extend to non-persian speakers but since our first dine in experience we have had positive interactions over the phone & when taking to go. It remains to be seen if their in-person service has improved. We hope they continue to represent our culture in service as well as their amazing food.
Their delivery website works as a cheaper alternative to Uber. Despite the conveniences, tracking & customer support Uber offers, we hope that ordering from their website gives the proceeds directly to the business as opposed to intermediaries. We wish to support local & our own as much as possible.
All in all a positive experience & one that is frequently recommended as a staple of Montreal's Iranian community.

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!
Mostly food is delicious, staff & services ok, atmosphere not bad, prices reasonable, staff needs more training as not to explain kebab barg to non Iranian guest as steak!!!! Are you serious, kebab barg has nothing to do with steak , neither shape nor taste.
Also when I asked why gheime doesn't have tiny fries on it, she said she can bring me normal big chips from pitza Tehroon, as if she doesn't know nothing from food.
Overally I recommend this restaurant if you are not too picky.
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! 🔥👌🍢
Super Persian food in the NDG district. We ordered the fantastic ash reshteh soup, joojeh kebab with bone & barg skewer, Served with ample rice & butter & sumac. The Persian tea at the end of the meal was wonderful, as was the baklava.
I got two portions of koobideh from Banab Kebab's (Wednesday & Thursday )special offer today. Since I had ordered from them before, I expected it to be just as delicious. Each portion was $15.99, but I think it was very different from their regular food. I really didn't like it at all. The kebab tasted like onions & cartilage, & it was extremely dry. The quality was significantly lower compared to the koobideh I had previously ordered. Maybe because it was a special offer, they compromised on quality!
Absolutely fantastic! The ash reshteh was perfectly cooked & full of flavor, while the kebab was tender & delicious. The warm & friendly staff made the experience even more enjoyable. Thanks dear Helia!
