Nice atmosphere & good service! Quiet & clean! friendly & polite! The food is well-tasted & of good quality (everything is very fresh & well-cooked)! The portion is good for one! Just a little overpriced in comparison with other Persian restaurants
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.
Try lamb shank, its my favourite!

Great place for authentic Persian food! The dishes were flavorful, fresh, & reminded me of homemade Iranian meals. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the staff were very friendly. Definitely a nice spot if you're craving delicious Persian cuisine.
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.
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.
I've visited this restaurant twice, & both times the experience was excellent. After a long time, I finally enjoyed truly great Persian food & kebab. The food is delicious, very fresh, & always served hot when it arrives at the table, which really sets this place apart from many other restaurants.
The person serving us was incredibly kind, polite, & friendly, which made the experience even better. Overall, I had a great experience here & would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic & high-quality Persian cuisine.
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.
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 in Montreal & tried the Vaziri, kebab Torsh, & Koobideh. The portions were very generous, which is always appreciated, & the presentation was elegant. The flavors were pleasant & well-balanced, though I felt they could have been a bit more distinctive-Persian cuisine is known for its rich, layered tastes, & while the dishes were enjoyable, they lacked that special touch that makes you crave another bite.
The restaurant itself is quite chic & beautifully decorated, creating a warm & comfortable atmosphere. It's clearly a place designed for both casual lunches & more refined dinners. The staff were friendly, polite, & welcoming, though it seemed they were a bit understaffed during our visit (Saturday noon), with only one or two servers managing the entire dining area. Despite that, they handled things gracefully & did their best to keep everyone satisfied.

First time visiting Montreal! Had dinner with my family (7 of us) & we ordered all kinds of kebabs plus 3 stews. The food was amazing-perfect quality & taste, real Persian flavor, just like homemade 😋. Loved the decoration & the service, everything was great. Really wish we had a place like this in Sydney 😊
Absolutely delicious! The food here is outstanding - beautifully presented, full of flavor, & perfectly cooked. The kabobs were juicy & tender, the rice was fluffy with a golden tahdig that was simply amazing, & the grilled tomatoes added the perfect touch. Portions are generous, & everything tasted authentic & fresh. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the service was excellent. Highly recommend this place if you're craving real Persian cuisine!
Genuinely one of the best persian meals I've had in my life as a persian myself. The rice tastes homemade, the meats are extremely juicy, & it's perfectly seasoned. A lot of restaurants use preservatives & make the meat quality extremely salty so it lasts longer, but I can truthfully say it's so appropriately salted & the flavors are divine. Must try if you're in Montreal
