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.
I had a wonderful experience at Diva Restaurant in Montreal. The service was excellent, the staff were friendly & attentive, & the food quality was amazing. Everything tasted fresh & delicious. The prices were very reasonable for the quality you get. Overall, a fantastic dining experience - I highly recommend this place!
We booked the entire venue for a gathering of 80 guests, & everything was absolutely perfect. From the warm hospitality & the professional, polite staff to the excellent service, beautiful décor, lovely atmosphere, & delicious, high-quality dishes - everything exceeded our expectations.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy amazing food in a beautiful & welcoming setting.
Truly a wonderful experience from start to finish🥰

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.
I tried the Kobideh, Barg, & Jojeh kebab. The Kobideh & Barg were amazing honestly the best I've had in town! The Jojeh (leg) was good too, just a bit mild in flavor for my taste. Next time, I'll definitely try the Chenjeh kebab! You should try this place!
La cuisine est bonne, mais malgré notre réservation & le fait que nous ayons prévenu le restaurant que nous devions partir à une certaine heure, nous avons attendu 45 minutes avant d'être servis. J'évalue donc le service comme moyen pour cette raison. De plus, nous avons remarqué qu'il manquait de personnel : les deux serveuses présentes devaient tout faire - accueil, prise de commandes, service & facturation. Je pense que la note du restaurant pourrait être plus élevée si la direction améliorait l'organisation & renforçait l'équipe de service.
The food is good, except for the shishlik! I don't eat rice, & there was no option to choose between rice & salad. For the starter, I would have preferred soup instead of cheese & bread. It's just a suggestion, everything else was good!

I had the bonab kebab & it was very disappointing. They also use a low quality rice, which was a big surprise. Atmosphere is good, but I won't try it again.
The food was excellent! Both the kebab Torsh & the Soltani were perfectly cooked & full of flavor. The rice, tahdig, & bread were all fresh & delicious. Overall, a great dining experience. highly recommended!
The restaurant had a beautiful atmosphere, & the food quality was excellent. I had the koobideh, & it tasted really good. The price was also quite reasonable.
