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.
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

Every visit here has been a wonderful experience. Great quality food, attentive service, & a cozy atmosphere - perfect for both friendly gatherings & special occasions.
We recently visited Diba Restaurant with a group of 16 people for a family reunion, & it was a wonderful experience. Somayeh, our server, took excellent care of us-she was attentive, friendly, & made sure everything went smoothly for such a large group.
The food was absolutely delicious & went beyond my expectations. The Joojeh kebab, in particular, was one of the best I've ever had-juicy, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. Every dish was fresh & full of authentic taste, making our gathering even more memorable.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food & warm service!

A couple of mux upd in the order & pretty long to prepare the food.
I was with a very good friend & did not mind staying a couple of hours, but it may be a concern of you have something to do after.
Eat here when you really really have time to enjoy waiting for the great food.
I really enjoyed both the food & the overall atmosphere, which created a relaxing & pleasant dining experience. The service was also excellent. In particular, a gentleman named Kosha was extremely kind & friendly, which made my visit even more enjoyable.
Diba Restaurant is hands down one of the best spots in Montreal for authentic Persian food. From the moment you sit down, they treat you right: starting with warm, freshly baked bread served with cheese & walnuts. It's such a simple touch, but it really makes you feel at home.
The dishes here are full of flavor & prepared with real care. The rice is perfect, & it comes with tahdeeg: the crispy, golden crust that every Persian food lover dreams of. & the kebabs? Honestly, they're the best I've had in Montreal. Juicy, tender, & grilled just right.
The vibe is cozy & welcoming, & the staff make sure you're well taken care of without being overbearing. If you're craving Persian food or want to try it for the first time, Diba is the place to go. Highly recommend!
