Café Restaurant Nab is described as a warm, family run Persian restaurant with a truly authentic feel, where generous portions, reasonable prices, and thoughtful hospitality create a homey dining experience. Reviewers repeatedly praise the kebabs, especially koobideh and kebab torsh, the kaleh pacheh, ghormeh sabzi, and saffron rice with tahdig for their depth of flavor and careful preparation, with the rice and tahdig often highlighted as standouts. The atmosphere is consistently described as cozy and inviting, with tasteful Persian decor and occasional live traditional music, while the staff are noted for being friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food is praised for freshness and high quality ingredients, and many say the dishes taste homemade and reflect real Persian cooking. A few comments mention occasional delays or service hiccups in busy times, but the overall impression is that Café Restaurant Nab is among the best Persian places in the city, great for family meals, groups, or romantic nights, and that many guests plan to return with friends and family to try more dishes.

We celebrated my boyfriends birthday over the weekend & really enjoyed our evening. We were a group of about ~15 people. We got a group menu & everything was delicious. Soup, salad, entrees, main, all of it. & it's a byob so that's a plus. I spent 115$ for two people, you don't see that anymore these days.

Très bonne nourriture! Service impeccable. Peut-être la musique moins forte, le seul point négatif.

Delicious "Kale Pache" in Montreal.

The interior & general atmosphere & the apparently mandatory Persian music playing in the background for this establishment is a copy of many Persian restaurants in Toronto in Montrèal. It's not anything special. The washrooms looked like they were meant for smurf's. The food was expensive for Persian food in general. There are no filling options below twenty dollars. The owners are kind. They aren't scared or mad if you try to talk to them. This is contrary to other reviews. The wait time is longer than usual for most Persian style restaurants in Canada. Expect to chat a lot with friends or the employees. Average. Only place in Montrèal that is open early.

Great family-owned restaurant. First time I've eaten fesenjoon in a restaurant instead of making it myself, & I loved it. The owners are so kind & friendly too.

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.
