The service was excellent. Somayeh khanoom & her equip gave us the best service.
The atmosphere was very family friendly . We had a very memorable night.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The service was truly wonderful. Even though almost every table was filled with an average of five people, the three waiters handled each table with such grace & efficiency.
To Kousha, Tina, & Mehrsa: thank you for your exceptional service. You're the best!

Everything was very OKAY. Had Torsh, Koobideh, & Vaziri. The best one was Torsh. Koobideh was not good at all. & the chicken in Vaziri was mediocre. Not sure why but I have yet to find a restaurant in Montreal that has good Koobideh, & this was no exception. The rice was also good but it was too oily. The bread they served before the food came, though, was excellent!
The place is cozy & clean, service is great. The food was delicious. We ordered koobide & Bonab. Bonab was great, but the koobideh was not that juicy (maybe because of using ground beef instead of lamb).
We got a platter which came with rice, kebab koobideh, barg & joojeh. I'm not lying when I say this has got to be the best kebab barg I've ever had. The persian staff were all polite & very nice, checked up on us every few minutes. The atmosphere is very proper & clean, the parking wasn't an issue either.
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!

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 !
Diba Restaurant, with its high ceilings, warm interior decor, & use of neutral tones, creates an incredibly calm & inviting atmosphere for its guests. The young & well-trained staff move gracefully between tables like a synchronized dance team. Their attentiveness is almost mind-reading, as they approach your table before you even signal for them.
Dear Mehrsa is an exceptional host, extremely nice, very friendly, respectful, polite, & hardworking. She ensured that every aspect of our dining experience met our expectations with enthusiasm & care. For quite some time now, she has happened to be our host by chance, & each time, she has provided us with the best service with great care & grace.
Our host tonight was Dear Ghazal, who was exceptionally so nice, courteous, & resourceful. When we ordered the Chenjeh kebab & were informed it was unavailable, she quickly coordinated with the kitchen upon noticing our excitement & managed to fulfill our request.
Before diving into the details of the food, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dear Ghazal for her wonderful hospitality this evening.
I'll include the receipt so you can see the exact prices as of today. Please note that the Chenjeh kebab was served with rice, while the other kebabs were served without.
• Bonab Kebab: Exceptionally tender & flavorful. I can confidently say it's one of the most delicious kebabs you'll find in Montreal.
• Chenjeh Kebab: The flavor was delightful.
• Shishlik Kebab: It was unbelievably tender a so really delicious.
• Koobideh Kebab: Compared to Bonab kebab, I'd definitely choose Bonab. But I have to say, Diba's koobideh kebab has a really enjoyable flavor on its own.
One standout feature of Diba Restaurant is their in-house bread baking. This sets the restaurant apart, giving it a unique charm. A touch of melted butter is added to their fresh taftoon bread, making it taste like a slice of heaven.
Overall, I would recommend it specifically for Bonab kebab.
Bon appétit!
Nice people , kind & polite service people, clean & welcoming environment & most importantly a reasonable price. You may have some issues with finding a parking space.
Definitely recommended.
I always say , check Persian Cuisine & its very difficult to get disappointed.
Here are some details about the food :).
Starter, Bread & Cheese : 3.5 Stars.
Bread was awesome & fresh so this part is a good 4.5 Stars.
I would give it more stars if there was a bit of Salted Butter & better mix of herbs instead of just Parsley.
You will also get some walnuts although I would take some time to make them look fresh by soaking them in water the nigh before.
Rice : 4.5 Stars.
Big portion, delicious & well cooked with a nice Tahdig & Saffron.
Kebab Barg : 4 Stars with some compromise
Tender, well prepared & cooked. The only missing part is the preparation over charcoal.
Kebab Koobideh: 3.5 Stars.
Nice big portion but grinded more than what it should have been grinded. Maybe they can stick to only 2 times grinding instead of 3 or 4.
I was not able to recognize the taste of lamb as it should be mix of lamb & beef chuck.
I would add 1 to 2 percent more salt & I would definitely avoid grinding the onion with beef & lamb.
& for sure charcoal. BBQ was missing.
Joojeh Kebab ( Chicken breast ) : 3.5 Stars.
I would say acceptable but could have been marinated a bit better. Pieces were too thin so it dries out over the heat before it gets to proper internal safe temperature.
Ghormeh Sabzi : Hardy & with a lot of compromise 2 maybe 1.5 Star.
Definitely not recommended .
Good large portion but not right mix of herbs. Fenugreek was missing. Herbs were not fried properly & the sourness of Limo Amani ( dried Lemon ) was definitely missing.
The best I have ever had in Canada was in the city of Sherbrook. So you will not missing anything if you skip the stew part.
Salad Shirazi : 4.5 Stars .
Very delicious, well prepared.
Most importantly & rightly they use juice of unripe grape (This part is great).
I would give it a good 5 star if the portion was bigger. For that price , it should be at least 2 times bigger.
Tea: 5 Stars.
It was so good that I cannot give it a 4.5 because of the glass size :) . I would like my glass of tea a good 1.5 to 2 times bigger than that , I mean I like a real regular size glass.
Please note that what I am writing here is based on my standards & compared to real top notch Persian food. So a 3.5 out of 5 stars considering expertise & ingredients you get here in Montreal is still good.
I had an incredible experience here. The food was full of flavor, especially the koobideh Negini. The staff was welcoming, & the ambiance was perfect. A must-visit for anyone craving authentic Persian food!

Honestly it was one of the best restaurents in Canada. We were visiting from Ottawa & Diba was the best in Montreal! Food was great! We had barg & koobideh ! Kashke bademjoon was great too. They served us homemade breads with cheese & veggies ! Wonderful! Portion of the food was good for the price. The decoration was also great! The lady who served us was very friendly & professional! Will visit there for sure any time I go to Mtl.
It was my first time going there. The food is good. Comparing to other Iranian restaurants in Montreal, I like their koobideh (ground bedf skewer) the most. Barg skewer (veal) was delicious, the chicken skewer was not the best I had. So I recommend to try their Koobideh for $24 which is two skewers of ground beef kebab with rice. That's a great deal They serve you a bread made in the oven with cheese, walnuts & parsley as appetizers for free! I forgot to take a photo of that. I didn't try drinks or side dishes, desserts or tea.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands down the best Persian restaurant in Montréal! Diba is an absolute gem. The food was simply amazing. We had Shirazi Salad, Kashk-E-Bademjan, Koobideh Kebab, & Baghali Polo, & every dish was bursting with authentic flavors. The vibe of the restaurant was so warm & inviting, with all the staff being welcoming & super friendly. A special shoutout to our waiter, Armine, who was incredibly attentive & always served us with a big smile. His excellent service truly elevated our experience. I'm not Persian, but I've tried Persian cuisine in many countries & even had the privilege of dining with Persian families. Let's just say I know my way around Persian food, & Diba exceeded all my expectations. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation & will, without a doubt, be coming back. If you're in Montréal & love Persian food, or just amazing food in general, Diba is a must-visit!
This restaurant was absolutely amazing! The koobideh & barg kebabs were incredibly delicious, probably some of the best I've ever had. On top of that, the staff were extremely polite, friendly, & professional. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming. I will definitely come back again & highly recommend it to others!
