I left this place speechless, happy & very satisfied in every sense, the food is authentic Persian/Irani & let me tell you, it was out of this world mouth watering delicious, very generous portions, the rice was fresh out the pot, & I would definitely recommend the koubideh & the chicken, & you must try the eggplant entrée, I'm glad I found this place, will definitely be visiting often, also Liana was a sweetheart, she made the experience even more satisfying.
We've been to many Persian restaurants in Toronto, & on a previous trip to Montreal, we weren't too impressed by the Persian food scene. But Diba is in a different league. We had some of the best Persian dishes we've ever tried.
The staff were professional, friendly, & always ready to help. One of them even went out of her way to charge one of our phones in the staff room. That kind of service really stood out.
The atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the food was fantastic. We ordered Platter #1, which came with a mix of Persian kebabs & a Gheimeh stew. Everything was delicious, especially the tah-dig-the crispy saffron rice-which was absolutely perfect.
We had such a great experience that we recommended Diba to all our friends in Montreal. We'll definitely be back next time we visit!

After two years of living in Montreal & going to several Iranian restaurants, this was the first place where I felt like I was Iranian, both in terms of the taste of the food, the restaurant environment, & the lovely staff. It was great.
I ordered through UberEats & this has hands-down been the best Persian meal I've had in Montreal so far. The saffron chicken wings were incredibly flavorful juicy, tender, & perfectly seasoned. The koobideh was just as amazing, rich with flavor & cooked to perfection. The housemade bread hit the spot, fresh, soft, & the perfect complement to the meal. On top of that, the packaging was perfect; everything arrived fresh, intact, & beautifully presented. You can really taste (& see) the care & authenticity in every detail. Will definitely be ordering again-& visiting in person soon!

The torsh kebab was basically pomegranate molasses you could buy from supermarket; the food was so expensive & the waitress was grumpy, made mistakes with bills & blamed it on us; the mistake doesn't matter but she could be more helpful & didn't help separating bills.
Un vrai bijou culinaire ! Le tchandjeh & le koobideh étaient savoureux & tendres, avec un tahdig croustillant à souhait. Si vous voulez découvrir les vraies saveurs de l'Iran, je vous recommande vivement Diba !
I've been living in Montreal for 9 years, & this was the first time I had such a fantastic experience with Persian food. The dishes & staff were amazing. Congratulations to your team, & thank you for the great service!'🌹🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻
