We went to Diba for the first time to celebrate my dad's birthday, & it was an absolutely perfect experience.
The food was outstanding-authentic, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was warm, elegant, & welcoming, making it a wonderful place for a special family celebration.
Most importantly, the service was exceptional. Kousha took such great care of us-professional, attentive, & genuinely kind. He truly made our evening even more special.
We highly recommend Diba & will definitely be back!
Almost a year later, I am sad to add this very disappointing review to my previous one!! Sadly, the quality of their food went considerably lower & lower! Until I had to talk to the lady who kindly served us last time, & I told her that it was very disappointing to see how bad that previously fantastic restaurant is serving us with such a low quality food!!! Will never ever go back again! Sorry
Everything was amazing! We ordered Koobideh, Barg, & kebab Torsh, & all of them were absolutely delicious. The warm fresh bread served at the beginning was also incredible.
But more importantly, the hospitality & kindness of the staff truly made our experience special. Azadeh & Patricia were extremely friendly, welcoming, & attentive. We were celebrating a birthday, & the service was excellent from start to finish.
Highly recommended!

One of the best Iranian kebab in Montreal. The food is delicious & the atmosphere is modern with nice interior & vibe. The staff are also so nice & welcoming. 10/10 experience, would recommend you to visit this restaurant.
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.
Try lamb shank, its my favourite!
I recently visited Diba Restaurant & had a wonderful experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, & clearly prepared with care. Every dish we tried was well seasoned & beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients.
The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a relaxed meal with friends or family. The staff were friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was perfect throughout the visit.
What I appreciated most was the authenticity of the flavors & the generous portions. It truly felt like a place that takes pride in both its food & its service.
I highly recommend Diba Restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food & a pleasant dining experience. I will definitely be coming back again.
It's rare for me to leave a review for a restaurant, but everything about this place was so well thought out & exceptional that I couldn't leave without writing one.
The food was outstanding with incredible flavors, the staff were polite & professional, & the atmosphere was both beautiful & very clean.
Highly recommended.
Hi I went today , the restaurant decoration is nice cozy I do appreciate but I don't like the kebab personally because it taste too much like lamb I am not used to this taste I wished they had not with lamb taste because I am born in Canada not born in Iran I am not used to this taste . But I know majority of iranien don't mind of it & actually love it . Also, the chicken with bone was delicious I love it & recommend & the bread with the cream cheese was good .
I remove points because no soupe or salade like other irannien restaurant that in included you had to pay for it , & the tea usually is free the was no price for the tea in the menu 3$ is alot . Also , the server should let us know in advance if we take another bread it will charge us in advance we should have let know .
We had a great experience at this Iranian restaurant. The food quality was excellent, with authentic flavors & a very pleasant atmosphere. The professional management & warm hospitality of Mr. Kasra & Kiarash are truly commendable & make customers feel welcome.
Special thanks to Somayeh, our waitress, for her fast, attentive, & friendly service.
We will definitely come back & highly recommend this restaurant to others.
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.
