Diba Restaurant is praised for a warm, welcoming atmosphere and high quality Persian cuisine, with fresh, flavorful kebabs, well seasoned dishes, and generous portions served in a stylish, clean setting. The in house bread and tahdig add a comforting, authentic touch, and the service is consistently attentive in a vibe that is both lively and inviting. While some reviews note the prices can be higher than other Persian spots, the overall experience is described as excellent, with many saying it stands among the best Persian dining options in Montreal.
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.
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!
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!
This was my second time trying Diba, about six months after my first visit. The quality of the food has become even better, & the atmosphere is still great with amazing staff.
I hope you always maintain this level of quality & professionalism. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys high-quality food & a stylish ambiance.
It's the best Persian restaurant that I have been so far in Montreal. Quality of food is so high. Highly recommended.
After multiple visits I still give my 👍 to quality of the food & service.

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.

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.
