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!

I have recently moved from North Vancouver to Montreal. Having one of the largest persian diaspora, North Vancouver has set the bar high!Anyways, I ordered through UberEats, & I am glad I did! I guess Nab will be my go to place for Iranian dishes!
If you're looking for an authentic & unforgettable dining experience, this Iranian restaurant is a must-visit! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warm hospitality & an inviting ambiance. The food is absolutely exquisite-perfectly seasoned kebabs, fragrant saffron rice, & rich stews that transport you straight to Iran. The flavors are fresh, bold, & perfectly balanced. Their freshly baked bread & dips were also irresistible. Every dish is crafted with care, showcasing the richness of Iranian culinary heritage. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a unique & delicious meal. Whether you're a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant will leave you raving. I'll definitely be returning soon! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely love this restaurant. Been a few times over the years. Everything is so good & the owners are always friendly. Plus they have my favorite Iranian dessert, falooda, which I can't find in other restos in the city.
We were for lunch & ordered Soltani & kebab Torsh. I believe that their Barg kebab is a legend! It was the first Iranian cuisine which asked us how to cook our kebab. The meat of both Barg & Torsh kebab was fillet mignon & It was so juicy & tender. The service was great & the owners were so kind & sociable. They served us a bowl of soup as a welcome starter which the taste was so nostalgic. I highly recommend to have Masto Moosir.
