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.
The food was decent, but the service left much to be desired.
3 hostesses were present, but they spent most of their time chatting & laughing among themselves.
That might have been forgivable if they had fulfilled their basic duties - offering to take coats, refilling water, checking in, or properly cleaning the table between courses - but none of that happened.
Considering it was lunchtime & the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, the lack of attentiveness was even more inexcusable.
If the staff feel that basic service responsibilities are beneath them, they may be better suited to a different line of work.
We expected much more, especially from an establishment that should reflect the warmth, care & professionalism associated with Iranian hospitality.
We had dinner here tonight, & I can only say it was the best Persian food I've had outside of Iran… the trek from Old Montreal was well worth it…. Ghormeh sabzi was super fresh & the kabobs were amazing …great service too…give it a go! Shout out to our wait staff, thank you for great service & making these New Yorkers feel welcomed
I regularly go to Naeb restaurant in Richmond Hill & in an ad by the owner. I found out that he has opened a branch in Montreal & I was eager to try it. I went there & the first thing is there's no parking, the decoration of the place was 2 out of 10. Just because of the high ceiling. There are lots of rooms to decorate like a simple picture on the wall but it's just empty. Branch but the amount of food was much less & more expensive.
The only positive point where the very polite & friendly waitresses working there.
Another thing that bothers me in both branch is the minimum tip is 18% which doesn't make sense
Diba has some positives-the staff are warm & welcoming, the food is well-presented, & the flavors are solid. However, it's hard not to compare it to Naeb, which is run by the same owner & chef, Aras.
The biggest letdown at Diba is the value. The prices are higher than Naeb, but the portions are noticeably smaller. For example, the Bonab kebabs were significantly smaller at Diba, which was disappointing given how hearty they are at Naeb.
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.
