Review Summary

Overall, Diba Restaurant consistently delivers warm hospitality, a chic yet cozy atmosphere, and authentic Persian flavors that shine in juicy kebabs, tender chicken, rich eggplant dishes, and fragrant saffron rice with tahdig, with freshly baked bread and cheese served as a welcoming touch. Portions are generous and presentation is elegant, making it a reliable spot for family meals and celebrations alike. While some guests mention higher prices, the combination of quality, attentive service, and inviting ambiance earns frequent recommendations as one of the top Persian dining experiences in Montreal.

A beautiful place, excellent rice, & fresh bread, & perfect welcoming , but the koobideh can be better
Also, the chairs is a little bit uncomfortable

Nous étions un groupe de sept personnes & avons choisi cinq plats différents - tous étaient excellents & d'une qualité exceptionnelle.

Si vous voulez goûter la vraie saveur de la cuisine iranienne, surtout les kebabs & grillades authentiques, je recommande vivement cet endroit.

La qualité des plats, le service & l'accueil chaleureux du personnel sont vraiment remarquables. Une très belle expérience !

Les plats étaient excellents & avaient vraiment le goût authentique de la cuisine iranienne.
Le personnel était très gentil & accueillant.
Nous avons seulement attendu un peu à cause de l'achalandage.
J'espère pouvoir y retourner très bientôt.

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…

Special thanks to Somayeh, our waitress, for her fast, attentive, & friendly service.

We will definitely come back & highly recommend this restaurant to others.

⭐ Warm, Enthusiastic & Inviting

This is hands down one of the best Persian restaurants we've tried in Montreal, & we've sampled many over the years. Honestly, it's on par with the really good Persian spots in Toronto.

The food was excellent across the board. Everything was well seasoned & very satisfying, with portions that feel more than fair for the price. The koobideh was juicy & flavorful-not dry at all-& the chicken was beautifully marinated & incredibly tender. The eggplant dishes were also done right, rich & comforting.

What really stood out is how family-friendly the place is. We saw several families with young kids, high chairs were available, & the layout gives plenty of space between tables, which makes dining with children much more enjoyable.

We'd absolutely come back & wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. A true gem in Montreal's Persian food scene.
