I visited this Iranian restaurant tonight & ordered the shishlik kebab. I was really impressed. The meat was perfectly cooked, very tender & juicy, & had a delicious flavor. The seasoning was well balanced & really enhanced the taste. Overall, it was a great experience & I would definitely come back again.
Everything was great, the food was very high quality & delicious, the environment was very warm & reminiscent of a completely Iranian environment. The staff was very welcoming & created a very good & pleasant feeling.

Wonderful experience at Cafe Restaurant Nab! The food is delicious & authentically Iranian, & the atmosphere is beautifully decorated, reflecting Iranian culture. The owners are very kind & welcoming, making the visit even more enjoyable. A truly lovely place - highly recommended!
The food was excellent, & the portions were generous. Prices are fair, the service is friendly, & the atmosphere is great. Definitely one of the best Iranian restaurants in the city!
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.
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 an amazing experience here.
It was our mom's birthday & they gave us a great service. The decor was beautiful & very Iranian.
The food was great. Definitely will come back✨
Excellent & worth the small detour. The owner needs to spend a bit more time training service staff. I say this to encourage improvement & contribute to the success of this business. The food quality was very good & I was with two Iranians who know their Persian food. Keep up the great work & best of luck.
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!
