The food is praised for freshness and high quality ingredients, and many say the dishes taste homemade and reflect real Persian cooking.

I recently had the chance to dine at Cafe Restaurant Nab, & it was such a memorable experience-both in terms of food & atmosphere.
The highlight of the meal was definitely the kebabs-perfectly grilled, juicy, & full of flavor. The koobideh was tender & well-seasoned, & the barg had that beautiful char while staying incredibly soft. You can really tell they pay attention to quality & authenticity.
The tahdig (crispy rice) was a standout-golden, crunchy on top, & soft underneath, just the way it should be. Paired with grilled tomatoes, fresh herbs, & a light salad, the whole plate felt balanced & satisfying.
The presentation was also lovely, served on traditional-style platters that added to the overall Persian dining experience. The ambiance felt warm & inviting, making it a great spot for both a casual dinner & a special night out.
If I had to mention one thing, it would be that portions are generous-so come hungry or be ready to share!
Overall, I'd highly recommend Cafe Restaurant Nab to anyone looking for authentic Persian cuisine in Montreal. I'll definitely be coming back.
The food was excellent, especially the lamb kebab which was very juicy & tasty. The rice covered with saffron. The staff were very friendly & the welcoming was very warm.
I highly recommend this restaurant.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food & a wonderful dining experience.
Absolutely delicious safron rice with dishes such as chicken skewers, beef, & eggplant beef stew. We were here on New Year's Eve & they had very relaxing live music. Highly recommend!
I loved the food, the service, & the atmosphere. As an Iranian, it truly made me feel at home. I highly recommend this place for the freshness & high quality of the food, as well as the kind & respectful service.
We had a great experience in Nab, awasome service & amazing atmosphere. we ordered kale pache which was one the best in the town. The bread was so fresh & crispy & they served everything in the traditional style & dishes. After the food we ordered persian tea & some baklava which was so fresh & delicious. Highly recommended
My family, two friends, & I visited this restaurant to try kaleh pacheh. From the very first bite, I was truly impressed. It was cooked with such skill & care that I had never experienced this level of quality before-not in my home country & not even in Montreal. Some might think this was just because we were hungry, but that wasn't the case; my family & friends all felt the same way. I highly recommend giving it a try at least once. I'm confident you'll fall in love with this delicious dish.

A great restaurant with excellent customer service & very welcoming. The food quality was high & the portions were generous. After a long time, we finally had delicious, high-quality kaleh pacheh. Highly recommended.
Had dinner at this restaurant today & it was amazing! As a vegetarian, I was so happy to see they had vegan koobideh & it was absolutely mouthwatering 🤤. Highly recommend this place for vegans & vegetarians! We tried the Ashe Reshteh (soup), Kashke Bademjan, the vegan koobideh plate & saffron ice cream… all 10/10!
& a special thank you to the lovely Algerian lady who served us 🩷
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!

I had a truly wonderful experience at this Iranian restaurant. The food was incredibly delicious & healthy, offering the authentic taste of Persian kebabs-better than any other I've tried in Montreal. The prices were very reasonable, & the hospitality of the owners was beyond excellent. They were warm, polite, & made us feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Iranian cuisine with top-notch service!
Absolutely loved this place - so much that we decided to go back on our second day in Montreal! The food was incredibly fresh & had that real homemade taste. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the owners were so kind & friendly.
On our first visit, we had chelo kebab,Mahicheh, & kebab torsh. The second day we tried chelo kebab again (it was that good!), plus ghormeh sabzi with fresh salad shirazi & gheimeh bademjan. Everything was delicious & clearly made with care.
They also bring you a complimentary soup with bread, which was a really nice touch.
If we ever visit Montreal again, we'll definitely come back here. Highly recommend!
