Great place for authentic Persian food! The dishes were flavorful, fresh, & reminded me of homemade Iranian meals. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the staff were very friendly. Definitely a nice spot if you're craving delicious Persian cuisine.
Food quality was just okay & the service was slow despite the restaurant being quiet. The most unprofessional part was the payment process. They charged us the wrong amount multiple times, canceled payments by mistake, & even ran after our car asking us to pay again'just in case.' We ended up being charged twice, & it took two weeks to get a refund. Even then, the final amount was still incorrect.it was disappointing that the payment should get that complicated & you charged customer multiple & it is again them to come back for refund with no apology at all!!!

I recently visited Diba Restaurant & had a wonderful experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, & clearly prepared with care. Every dish we tried was well seasoned & beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients.
The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a relaxed meal with friends or family. The staff were friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was perfect throughout the visit.
What I appreciated most was the authenticity of the flavors & the generous portions. It truly felt like a place that takes pride in both its food & its service.
I highly recommend Diba Restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food & a pleasant dining experience. I will definitely be coming back again.
I went there all the way from Boucherville for their shishlik & I did not regret it. The place is beautiful & very clean. The high ceiling makes it feel both fancy & cozy. I would definitely go back if they keep the same great service. 😉
Modern, beautifully designed Persian restaurant with tall ceilings & great service. The Torsh kebab is the best in Montreal, hands down. A great touch is that the rice is served individually with TahDig (crispy rice). The Barg & Kubideh were also very good. The freshly baked Iranian Taftoon bread that is served with cheese, walnuts & herbs is another huge plus.
Overall, a stylish spot with authentic flavors & a great dining experience.

We went to Diba for the first time to celebrate my dad's birthday, & it was an absolutely perfect experience.
The food was outstanding-authentic, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was warm, elegant, & welcoming, making it a wonderful place for a special family celebration.
Most importantly, the service was exceptional. Kousha took such great care of us-professional, attentive, & genuinely kind. He truly made our evening even more special.
We highly recommend Diba & will definitely be back!
Hi I went today , the restaurant decoration is nice cozy I do appreciate but I don't like the kebab personally because it taste too much like lamb I am not used to this taste I wished they had not with lamb taste because I am born in Canada not born in Iran I am not used to this taste . But I know majority of iranien don't mind of it & actually love it . Also, the chicken with bone was delicious I love it & recommend & the bread with the cream cheese was good .
I remove points because no soupe or salade like other irannien restaurant that in included you had to pay for it , & the tea usually is free the was no price for the tea in the menu 3$ is alot . Also , the server should let us know in advance if we take another bread it will charge us in advance we should have let know .
But overall it can get better there is potential…
