The restaurant is tastefully decorated & there is a lot of attention to the details including the serving plates & utensils. The food was fantastic, the koobideh was one of the best I had in Canada & the mitzaghasemi had an authentic smokey flavor. We would definitely return to try more things.

Nab is a warm, family-run Persian restaurant that immediately makes you feel welcome. You can tell there's real care behind the food here. The father of the family personally prepares the kebabs, & the whole team is incredibly kind, patient, & genuinely friendly with customers. Their hospitality feels sincere, not forced, which makes the experience even more enjoyable.

The Iranian rice is outstanding & easily the highlight of the meal. Perfectly cooked, fragrant, & flavorful, with an absolutely delicious crunchy tahdig. The aroma & taste of the rice alone are reason enough to come back - it's truly the restaurant's biggest strength.

The kebabs were good overall. The barg kebab had nice flavor but was slightly on the tough side, while the rest of the food was satisfying & well prepared. To finish, the sholeh zard was excellent - rich in flavor, beautifully balanced, & clearly homemade.

Overall, Nab is a lovely spot for authentic Persian food, especially if you appreciate high-quality Iranian rice, comforting flavors, & heartfelt service. A family business that puts soul into what they serve, & it shows.

We came as a group of 17 people & ordered kalleh pacheh & halim. Even though we had informed them in advance, they weren't fully ready for such a large group, so it took quite a long time for the bread & drinks to arrive. But I have to say , when the food finally came, it was absolutely worth the wait.
The kalleh pacheh was incredible. The same exact flavour you remember from Iran: rich, authentic, & perfectly cooked. Honestly, it felt like eating breakfast back home. 🤩🔥
We also had Halim, & just a heads-up: they normally serve it with sugar on top, so make sure to ask them not to add sugar if you prefer it salty. We asked them to change ours & they kindly prepared a new one. Their flexibility & friendliness really stood out.
The rest of the experience: the tea, the warm service, all added to the feeling of true Persian hospitality. They were so friendly & welcoming throughout our meal.

WOW. I honestly didn't expect to have such an unforgettable Persian food experience but this restaurant completely shocked me.
You must definitely try their food. Their Chef Kebab (Naab kebab) is not just delicious it is incredible, unforgettable.🤩
& if you are lucky, ask for the special of the day. Today it was Morasa Polo, & THIS is exactly what real Persian flavour tastes like. It was so good that not only did we finish it here, we actually ordered another one for take-out. That says everything.
& just when we thought it couldn't get better the tea & desserts showed up.
I swear I have never in my life seen this many Persian desserts in any restaurant.
Their Napeloni, their pumpkin dessert, their saffron cake… Omg.🥧💥
UNBELIEVABLE.

Just try it.
This place is a full Persian experience flavour, presentation, authenticity.
Highly recommended.😍

We stumbled upon Nab while visiting Montreal, & stepping inside felt like walking into a traditional restaurant in Iran. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, with a cozy charm that immediately made us feel at home. The food was truly special - homemade with care & thoughtful little touches that brought each dish to life. You can tell a lot of heart goes into everything they serve. The service was equally impressive - attentive, kind, & full of small details that made the experience memorable. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic flavors & genuine hospitality!

Amazing food. As a Persian, I can say without a doubt that they have authentic, homemade, traditional Persian dishes from across Iran. Try the Nan kebab, mast mousir, & their Nab tea. Thank me later!!

If you're in Montreal & craving authentic Persian food, this gem is an absolute must-visit. The combination of mouthwatering dishes & sweet, attentive service makes it a standout in a city full of great options. Highly recommend! It's rare to find a restaurant where both the quality of food & the kindness of the people are equally exceptionaI. We had family dinner & went back the next day for breakfast.
