The food was exceptionally flavorful😋beautifully prepared, & truly memorable. The warm ambiance & professional, attentive staff made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to discover top-quality Iranian cuisine in Montreal
One of the best Persian restaurants thus far in Montreal, & we've tried several. It's comparable to the good ones in Toronto.
The food is fantastic.
It's well seasoned, with great portions for the price. The koobideh was moist & not overcooked, & the chicken perfectly marinated & soft. The eggplant dishes were well made.
It's also a family friendly establishment, as we saw several other families with young children. There are high Chairs available & great spacing around the tables. It makes for a comfortable meal for those with young children.
I'd highly recommend the place. It's truly one of the best in Montreal.
I had a wonderful experience at Diva Restaurant in Montreal. The service was excellent, the staff were friendly & attentive, & the food quality was amazing. Everything tasted fresh & delicious. The prices were very reasonable for the quality you get. Overall, a fantastic dining experience - I highly recommend this place!

We recently visited Diba Restaurant with a group of 16 people for a family reunion, & it was a wonderful experience. Somayeh, our server, took excellent care of us-she was attentive, friendly, & made sure everything went smoothly for such a large group.
The food was absolutely delicious & went beyond my expectations. The Joojeh kebab, in particular, was one of the best I've ever had-juicy, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. Every dish was fresh & full of authentic taste, making our gathering even more memorable.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food & warm service!
Diba Restaurant is hands down one of the best spots in Montreal for authentic Persian food. From the moment you sit down, they treat you right: starting with warm, freshly baked bread served with cheese & walnuts. It's such a simple touch, but it really makes you feel at home.
The dishes here are full of flavor & prepared with real care. The rice is perfect, & it comes with tahdeeg: the crispy, golden crust that every Persian food lover dreams of. & the kebabs? Honestly, they're the best I've had in Montreal. Juicy, tender, & grilled just right.
The vibe is cozy & welcoming, & the staff make sure you're well taken care of without being overbearing. If you're craving Persian food or want to try it for the first time, Diba is the place to go. Highly recommend!
Highly recommended! We enjoyed being there as a representative of the Persian restaurant. Their dishes were absolutely delicious, & the environment was clean & well-designed.
We were absolutely blown away by the food & service. We ordered the Kebab Torsh & Chenjeh, & both dishes were nothing short of spectacular, beautifully seasoned, grilled to perfection, & bursting with authentic Persian flavors.
The rice & tahdig were also exceptional!
While I would have loved for a side salad to be included with the meal, that's just a small suggestion for an otherwise outstanding experience.
The staff were friendly, & the service was impressively fast, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend Diba for anyone craving top-quality Persian cuisine. Can't wait to come back!
