Such a pleasant & welcoming atmosphere! The staff were very friendly, & the food was excellent. I ordered the Vaziri kebab, & both the chicken & koobideh were delicious. I really enjoyed my experience & would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Great family-run place with some of the best soups , entrance & stews! The koobideh, however, could use some improvement-it doesn't quite taste like a traditional koobideh .
Also, the meat in the stew seemed a little overcooked / dry or not as fresh as expected. Overall, a nice place with great potential. Don't like to criticize your food since you all very talented but in order to get busy & compete with restaurants like Behesht or Shali you need to improve .
Best wishes.

Unfortunately the worst persian food I have ever had. The meat tasted very off & we had Barg, Koobideh an chicken. Not to mention it took them forever to serve the food. Hope they improve.

I loved their food & their service & their decorations & particularly their music. The music was just right! We ordered koobideh for lunch. They gave us a nice warm soup as a starter with pieces of bread. I really loved that. The price is also very good for the plate.

Our third time here, & it never disappoints!
My spouse & I absolutely love Nab Cafe-Restaurant. The food is always incredibly delicious & bursting with flavor-their Chelo kebab Koobideh is fantastic! Their soups are comforting & perfectly seasoned, & the herbal teas are the perfect way to unwind. Highly recommend this gem in Montreal

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.

Those who gave this restaurant high ratings have probably never been to a good restaurant or tasted good food in their lives!

The restaurant environment was extremely cramped, dark, & damp. The tables were covered with cloth, & the host was wiping his cloth directly over the table covering! Instead of using disposable sanitary table covers or having glass tables that can be properly cleaned with disinfectant!

The chairs were old & wobbly. The soup was overly thick. The doogh was sweet! The koobideh kebab was greasy & small. The rice was very low quality basmati. The mirza ghasemi was undercooked & had no distinctive aroma or flavor. & finally, the restroom was absolutely not clean at all!

Yet we paid the highest price - even compared to restaurants in Toronto!

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.
