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!

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 😊
