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!
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.

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.
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 .
We celebrated my & my mom's birthday at Diba restaurant. Their service was Excelent ! & they were all very polite & personable , Ms. Somayeh took care of our table & she was amazing !
From house bread , kashkeh bademjoon & moosir to all the kabobs were tastful 👍🏼🥂
One of the good Persian restaurants in Montreal I like their food the barg kebab & the Kubide kebab were delicious. Also Zeytoon parvarde was tasting amazing. I loved the fact that they served us with a fresh bread & some cheese & herbs & walnuts as welcome. I remember I ordered once by Uber eats from here I ordered Ghorme sabzi with Kubide & chiken kebab. The meat inside the Ghorme sabzi was less than a normal portion, & the chicken kebab seems not to be very well cooked, but it was juicy & well marinated, but just the Kubideh kebab was good. Overall, I like this place but I hope this small mistakes wouldn't happen again because it's a nice place with delicious food.
The food is good, except for the shishlik! I don't eat rice, & there was no option to choose between rice & salad. For the starter, I would have preferred soup instead of cheese & bread. It's just a suggestion, everything else was good!
The food was excellent! Both the kebab Torsh & the Soltani were perfectly cooked & full of flavor. The rice, tahdig, & bread were all fresh & delicious. Overall, a great dining experience. highly recommended!
