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!
Almost a year later, I am sad to add this very disappointing review to my previous one!! Sadly, the quality of their food went considerably lower & lower! Until I had to talk to the lady who kindly served us last time, & I told her that it was very disappointing to see how bad that previously fantastic restaurant is serving us with such a low quality food!!! Will never ever go back again! Sorry
Everything was amazing! We ordered Koobideh, Barg, & kebab Torsh, & all of them were absolutely delicious. The warm fresh bread served at the beginning was also incredible.
But more importantly, the hospitality & kindness of the staff truly made our experience special. Azadeh & Patricia were extremely friendly, welcoming, & attentive. We were celebrating a birthday, & the service was excellent from start to finish.
Highly recommended!

One of the best Iranian kebab in Montreal. The food is delicious & the atmosphere is modern with nice interior & vibe. The staff are also so nice & welcoming. 10/10 experience, would recommend you to visit this restaurant.
The food was good, & the staff were very friendly & attentive. However, the restaurant atmosphere felt very cold & uncomfortable. Both the food got cold quickly, & we felt cold ourselves.
We had Mother's Day lunch here with the family. The Persian food was incredible. Starting with the Persian flat bread we had the Shiraz salad & the Zeitoon Parvardeh which were both excellent & refreshing. We ordered the Royal platter for the group which consisted of grilled kebabs of chicken & veal as well as bbq chicken wings. This came with 3 heaping bowls of saffron rice. Fantastic! The service was efficient & friendly & the price was very reasonable. I highly recommended this gem if you like Persian food or if you want to try something different.
Amazing experience at Diba Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious & full of authentic flavor. Every dish was cooked perfectly, & you can really tell they care about quality. The portions were generous, the restaurant was clean & comfortable, & the service was excellent from start to finish. I'll definitely be coming back again.

I recently went to Diba Restaurant & honestly the food was perfect. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, & homemade. The quality of the ingredients & the presentation were both excellent. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the staff were very kind & attentive. Definitely one of the best Persian dining experiences I've had in Montreal. Highly recommended!
Service was perfect, atmosphere was great. Torsh Kebab was so soft & flavorful, one of the best. Barg Kebab was amazingly soft, but lacked a little taste. Koobideh was not ideal.

I went there twice! Once by myself & another with my colleagues for our Christmas dinner. & let me tell you how big are the plates!!! We ordered about one plate/2 people, & it was more than enough. Their proportions are generous & very tasty. I highly recommend filet mignon kebab & the lambs. It's also BYOW (bring your own wine) & it was perfect. The room is well decorated & elegant which makes the atmosphere so nice & happy. The service was impeccable. The staff were always with a big smile & always ready to make the customers happy. I highly recommend this restaurant!
