The quality of the food is really bad. Kebabs are so small & super greasy & salty. So is the rice. A bit pricey also... we were a table of 4 & every one complaint about having stomach pain the next day. I dont recommend
Nous sommes venus dans ce restaurant iranien pour manger du délicieux kaleh pacheh, accompagnés d'un ami québécois qui découvrait cette cuisine pour la première fois. Il a adoré l'ambiance chaleureuse, l'atmosphère authentique & l'accueil sympathique. Les plats étaient savoureux & très bien préparés. Une belle expérience culturelle & culinaire que nous recommandons vivement !

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!
Great experience at Nab Persian Restaurant in Montreal-warm, inviting atmosphere from the start.
The food was fresh, flavourful, & clearly made with care, especially the perfectly cooked kebabs.
Portions were generous, & I loved that each meal came with a soup.
Service was friendly, attentive, & helpful throughout the visit.
Definitely recommend for anyone craving authentic Persian cuisine!
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.

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.
Très belle découverte à Montréal. Ambiance agréable, service chaleureux & plats délicieux. Le koobideh était exceptionnel, sans doute l'un des meilleurs que j'ai goûtés. Je recommande vivement.

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 🩷
Great food, great service, & a warm atmosphere. The dishes were fresh & flavourful, & the staff were super friendly & attentive without being pushy. Everything felt organized & welcoming. Definitely a place I'd return to & recommend.
Amazing Persian restaurant! We ordered Naab kebab, koobideh, & chenjeh - every single one was incredibly flavorful & tender. The kebabs were grilled perfectly. The staff were very friendly & welcoming, & the atmosphere felt warm & cozy. Definitely a place I'd come back to & recommend!
