So happy to have discovered this place! We are on holiday & staying near so we did a takeout. & we expect to get food from here many more times. The food was very well seasoned yet not too salty. Can't wait to try their other dishes!

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!
I had a great experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious - full of flavor & beautifully presented. The service was excellent as well. Everyone was friendly & attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
I really enjoyed the main dishes. Fresh bread was amazing. The price was very good relative to portion size . Very nice atmosphere & very nice staff.I hope they continue their great work.
Guys I absolutely recommend Diba restaurant. Perfect taste of Joojeh kbab leg & kebab as well. Fair price & friendly staff. We just came from Toronto & visited here. Although I'm too meticulous about the food taste , I love their marinate. Hope they keep the quality. God bless the owner. Good luck with your new business.
My go-to for Persian food; by far the best service; high quality food & very nice atmosphere with high ceilings.
The staff is very friendly & accommodating.
I had Iranian & non-Iranian guests here, & everyone was very happy!
The cherry on the cake? it is freshly baked bread!
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.
