Modern, beautifully designed Persian restaurant with tall ceilings & great service. The Torsh kebab is the best in Montreal, hands down. A great touch is that the rice is served individually with TahDig (crispy rice). The Barg & Kubideh were also very good. The freshly baked Iranian Taftoon bread that is served with cheese, walnuts & herbs is another huge plus.
Overall, a stylish spot with authentic flavors & a great dining experience.
Their presentation & packaging was out of the world. It felts like wedding box. The rice was so soooo flavourful. Lamb was amazing! Everything was perfect!!!! 💯 recommend will order again!
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!
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
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!
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!
We were absolutely blown away by the food & service. We ordered the Kebab Torsh & Chenjeh, & both dishes were nothing short of spectacular, beautifully seasoned, grilled to perfection, & bursting with authentic Persian flavors.
The rice & tahdig were also exceptional!
While I would have loved for a side salad to be included with the meal, that's just a small suggestion for an otherwise outstanding experience.
The staff were friendly, & the service was impressively fast, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend Diba for anyone craving top-quality Persian cuisine. Can't wait to come back!

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.
Zero ambiance, terrible service. Felt like we were in a cafeteria. No music but eventually they pulled out a boom box. The staff was zoned out & incredibly unattentive. Food was interesting & tasty. The lamb was perfectly cooked but sauce too greasy. Not many beans in the bean & rice dish. No alcohol served, BYO only. No vegetarian entree, only 2 vegetarian appetizers, & no vegan food. We wanted to try someting new but would never go back. If you're vegetarian & want a drink, don't go there.
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!

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 amazing experience at this Iranian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, the ambiance was warm & inviting, & the staff were exceptional. A special mention goes to Ms. Golnar, who was incredibly kind, friendly, & professional. Her wonderful attitude truly added to the overall experience. Everything about this place was simply outstanding. Highly recommended👍
Update: Unfortunately, our recent visit to this restaurant was quite disappointing, especially compared to our wonderful first experience. The quality of the food had noticeably declined - the kebab was dry, the rice was watery & lacked the authentic flavor we expected. Service was also much slower; despite the restaurant not being busy (it was a weekday), it took over an hour just to place our order. Additionally, several times when we requested something, it was either forgotten or significantly delayed. While the staff remained polite & courteous, the overall service & food quality left much to be desired this time. I hope the management addresses these issues, as this restaurant has great potential.
As a result, I am reducing my original 5-star rating to 2 stars.
A good persian restaurant ,Koobide kebab was not bad (the most important part of a persian kebab) .the rice had weak quality & it was stomach-filling .
The head waiter was controlling everything as a factory .other things were perfect .
The kebabs are unbelievably tender, & the rice is packed with flavor! Hands down, one of the best Iranian restaurant experiences I've had so far. The service is great, & the vibe is super cozy-perfect for a get-together with family or friends.
& you have to try the kebab Torsh. It's a game-changer!
