The meat (barg) was good! Family vibe, spacious. Service was ok.
However….rice quality was very poor, too greasy (probably to compensate for low quality basmati rice).
Location has a plain & modern design (very much subjective, not my favorite)!

Diba is worth the trip! A warm, inviting spot where food quality matches great service. The kebab torsh was exceptionally tender, & every dish was beautifully presented-true respect for customers. Well done, Diba
This Persian restaurant was an absolute gem! After we placed our order, they brought out freshly baked bread with walnuts, cheese, & herbs-a delightful complimentary touch that set the tone for the meal. 😋🍞👍
The food itself was outstanding. Every rice dish came with a beautifully crisp Tadig, with lavash Tadig in the center & rice Tadig surrounding it-a perfect combination of textures that made every bite incredibly satisfying. 🍚🤤🌟
The kebabs were top-notch, made with high-quality meat & expertly grilled. The Bonab Kebab, made from ground mutton, was exceptional-juicy, flavorful, & perfectly charred. The Kubideh was rich & tender, while the Kebab Tursh had a delicious tangy marinade that elevated its taste even more. 🔥🍖💯
Beyond the food, the restaurant had a warm & inviting ambiance, & the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, ensuring a great dining experience. If you're a fan of Persian cuisine or just love well-crafted food, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended! ✨👏😊
The atmosphere of the restaurant is really chic & family friendly. Staff were numerous & really nice. For starter, they brought cheese & freshly baked bread, both really delicious, I wish we could have ordered more bread. We ordered some Salad Shirazi & Mast moosir, salad shirazi wasn't good at all, but Mast Moosir was great. For the main course, we tried different kebabs, their koobide is not the best in town but the quality was acceptable. I enjoyed their kebab Torsh better.
Honestly, I can't complain about the quality or taste of the food. The only issue was the waitress, who initially brought us the wrong order. After five minutes, she realized the mistake & took the food from our table to serve it to the correct one. Personally, I didn't mind too much, but if I were in the other table's position, I definitely wouldn't have wanted that plate! I'd have preferred a fresh one.
I recently visited Diba, a newly opened Iranian restaurant in Montreal, & it was a wonderful experience. The attention to detail is impressive, making the atmosphere quite pleasant. The warm fresh bread served with cheese, herbs, & walnuts as a welcome is both nostalgic & delightful. The portions are generous, & the prices are reasonable for the quality of food served. The kebabs are especially delicious, & our dining experience was thoroughly enjoyable. Diba will definitely become a regular spot for us."

So far, this has been the best Iranian restaurant I've visited in Montreal in terms of interior design & food quality. The staff is professional, & the food is excellent. I hope they maintain this level of quality. Mahsa was so friendly & professional.
I ordered the kebab & stew & both dishes were excellent, especially the kebab, which was the best I have ever experienced. The service from the staff is also excellent, high quality & friendly.
This restaurant is newly opened but still they are giving nice food & service with the best Persian food in Montreal & polite staff. Our waiter was Armin & he was very warm & friendly. The quality of food, especially stews is very high
