We went to Diba Restaurant last week, and the koobideh kebab was amazing! It reminded me of the kebab I used to have in my childhood—the taste was so authentic. It was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Armin and Mariana, our servers, were so kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re craving delicious Persian food that feels like home, I highly recommend Diba.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars to this beautifully decorated, bright space—everything was simply amazing. Golnar was incredibly kind and treated us to their homemade bread, cheese, and walnuts, which were absolutely delicious. We ordered the Kabab Torsh and Joojeh, both served with crispy saffron rice. The food, music, and ambiance made for an unforgettable experience. Diba Restaurant is a must-visit!

I had an exceptional experience at Diba Restaurant ! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish bursting with authentic Persian flavors. The kababs were tender and perfectly grilled, and the saffron rice was fluffy and aromatic. The staff, “especially Azale & Mariana” were friendly and attentive, making the atmosphere warm and welcoming. This place is a must-visit. Highly recommended for anyone craving an unforgettable meal!"

A great alternative to the traditional brunch places and a great place for special occasions. A very delicious Iranian cuisine, the beautiful atmosphere and music. Nice service and a very warm ambience. “Diba” is definitely a great add to the NDG-neighbourhood. Looking forward to come back.

A new restaurant in an old bank. The food was phenomenal, and though it wasn't inexpensive, it was far and beyond almost anything we've had for the price. The delicate flavours and quality of ingredients made the meal truly memorable. Friendly, attentive service; we were served by Mariana, who we found equally charming and sincere. Overall, these Persian flavours are something so unique from anything you've ever tried, and if you've never had their food, it's something worth trying.

Diba Restaurant is hands down one of the best Persian spots in Montreal! The food is fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic – from the tender kebabs to the perfectly cooked saffron rice, everything is delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. On top of that, the staff are super friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. If you’re craving Persian cuisine or just want to try something new, I highly recommend Diba. I can’t wait to come back for another amazing meal.

Diba Restaurant is a true gem! The decor is stylish, the owners are incredibly welcoming, and the food is exceptional. The meats are perfectly tender and full of flavor, and the desserts are rich and indulgent, leaving a lasting impression. I ordered takeout, and everything arrived beautifully packaged with all the extras included—just as good as dining in. Highly recommend for a top-quality experience!

As a newcomer to Montreal, I craved an Iranian restaurant. Given the advertisements for this restaurant I had seen on Instagram, I decided to choose it. Upon entering, the restaurants atmosphere appeared stylish and tidy, but I found it odd that no one approached me to offer guidance. I was sitting alone while several people, presumably the restaurant owners, were engaged in a discussion. After a few minutes, one of the staff guided me to a corner of the restaurant, but I didn t feel comfortable. It took about twenty minutes for them to take my order. As a welcome gesture, they brought me a piece of dry bread that seemed to be warmed up but wasnt fresh. I ordered kebab koobideh, and after a long wait, they finally served my food. Unfortunately, the kebab was burnt and dry, with an unpleasant taste and smell that made it inedible. The rices tahdig was also burnt and mushy, not resembling genuine tahdig at all. The atmosphere felt so heavy that I couldn t bring myself to share my thoughts with the staff. After a long delay in processing my payment, I left the restaurant with a very disappointing experience and will never choose it again.

I recommend this Iranian restaurant, not only to people from Iran but also to anyone else. Everything was very good and I hope they can remove the quality of the food. I didnt have good memories of the famous Iranian restaurants I went to in Montreal. Freshly baked bread and cheese before the meal, I fainted for it. I really liked the food here, they have a good menu, the behavior of the staff was also good (for our table, Mehrsa was very friendly and polite), the playlist was also great... I felt like I went to Tehran. - Understand, with the same feeling and mood I hope it will be the same next time.

Diba was the very first Persian restaurant in Montreal which could meet our expectations. Location: Conveniently located at the corner of Somerled-Cavendish with available street parkings. Interior design is nice and cozy. Staff: Young, well-mannered individuals who were trying their best to serve the customers efficiently. Food: Tasty appetizers with freshly baked bread served on the side, tender and juicy kebabs. The only downside was the extremely greasy rice which was drenched in oil. This might have happened by accident though and hopefully will improve. Moreover, some main course options on the menu were a bit over-priced. Definitely recommend it and will go there another time.

Diba Restaurant, at the corner of Cavendish and Somerled in Montreal, is a cozy new spot for authentic Persian cuisine. The freshly baked bread served at the start is a highlight, and the thoughtful touch of serving rice separately from the main dishes really enhances the flavors.

I could not believe what I have experienced there. Zero hospitality and zero manner. They did not even bother to take our order. I waited for more than 1 hour till finally show up. Also, we reserved in advance but they didn t consider enough table and seat for the number of guests. It was unique experience I have seen a host try this much to make a meal this unpleasant.

Starting with good points, the food was okay, and the decor was nice, so I want to be fair about that. But the service! It was the worst I ve ever experienced. We had reserved a table for 10, and we arrived with nine people. After waiting 20 minutes, the server came and said, I should take your table; you said you were 10! She asked us to sit closely together so she could use our table. Trying to be considerate, we moved to two tables. Even after that, they didn t take our order, despite me asking twice. When we finally complained, the server just said, Sorry, I was hungry and was eating. I didn t need an excuse I needed good service or at least some form of compensation! They took our order around an hour after we arrived, and as soon as we finished eating, they said, We d appreciate it if you left, since the reservation is for 2 hours. I get it, but this time limit should apply when the service is normal, not when it takes an hour just to order. They apologized, but offered no compensation. It was the rudest behavior I ve experienced in a restaurant. I will NEVER return to this place. I ve never been treated so disrespectfully at a restaurant. It s a shame, because the potential was there, but this experience was beyond disappointing.

I really like the food there! It was well cooked and so delicious! The most important thing was the atmosphere there and design which was very peaceful with nice decoration. Moreover they were very friendly!

The service was very bad. The staff still did not know how to serve the customer. It was too late to bring food. Whatever we asked about the food, they did not know. They brought bread once, after 30 minutes, spoons, then they went again to bring plates... The food was brought after 1 hour and the quality of the food was average. The shishlik was not good at all, it was more like a bone with a coin-sized piece of meat. In general, I expected more and I will not choose there for the second time. The service was very bad.

I hope the owner can hear me out . Having grown up in this city, I can assure you, financial wise, the Montreal community does not stand as tall as the ones in Toronto or Vancouver , this means your price tag should justify their wallet. For instance the side dish of Maast o Mooseer comes to $15 inc tax and gratuity !!!! Not justified Next , If you want to make a difference then ditch your koobideh machine and use hands instead. I found a couple of small bones in mine which it could be easily avoided if your staff used hands while skewering them. I let it go just because I believe incident can happen unless it becomes a norm. BTW, You definitely need to serve butter as a traditional side dish with any types of Kebab . About the place; People can easily forget a sublime ambiance but they never let go a below par food. to me, the food was good but TBH nothing extraordinary. You should persuade people to choose your restaurant over others. It took me a 30 minutes drive to dine at your place , I did , I tasted it but it was just another food. Will I come back again ? yes but hoping to see a difference this time. Bonne chance

Absolutely delighted to have discovered this new gem of a Persian restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with the lovely aroma of Persian spices filling the air. The food was exceptional the flavors were authentic and reminded me of true home-cooked Persian dishes. The Kabob Koobideh was juicy and perfectly seasoned, while the Ghormeh Sabzi had the perfect balance of herbs and tender meat. Their Tahdig (crispy rice) is a must-try, with a golden, crunchy texture that s just right. The service was fantastic as well. The staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to provide recommendations from the menu. The restaurant was clean, with a charming decor that made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, this place has quickly become one of my favorite spots. If you re looking for authentic Persian cuisine with great service, I highly recommend checking it out. I can t wait to come back and try more!

We had an amazing experience at Diba last night. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the kubideh , and the service was top-notch. Our hostess, Sarah, assist us well by our last minute reservation within the weekend and made excellent recommendations. The waitress was very attentive, fast and patient. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing evening out. It was a long time that Montreal missed a great restaurant like Diba to present Persian foods in quality. Considering the fresh ingredients and flavorful dishes, you really get more than what you pay for. We can t wait to go back .

I did not have a good experience at this restaurant, even though it has a nice and luxurious atmosphere. Overall, it was disappointing. The chenejeh kebab was really chewy, and the awful service we received made it even more unpleasant.

The food here was fire juicy and on point, exactly what I wanted. But the service definitely needs lots of work. First, they sat us at a big table, then kept moving us to smaller spaces, which made us feel like an afterthought. It would help if they just picked one right table for us and stuck with it unless there s a real reason to move. Service was really slow, and when we asked why, the waitress actually said, I wanted to eat my dinner, which felt unprofessional and strange. Staff could improve by just apologizing for delays in a standard way if they come up. Another issue was that they kept reminding us we had a two-hour time limit, even though it took nearly an hour just to get our order placed. If there s a time limit, they should aim to serve people quickly so everyone gets a full experience within that window. Right now, it feels like they re disorganized and not that focused on customer care. Even though the food was incredible, the lack of attentiveness and the overall disorganization really took away from the experience. It s a shame because with just a few improvements, their service could really match the quality of the food. I left the tip for the food, but hard thumbs down for the service...

New Persian restaurant, and I think more time needed for their service to become better. The appetizers specifically the hot fresh bread was great. The Mastomoosir was fantastic and I liked Barg kebab. The koobideh kebab needed to be more juicy and greasy.

A few days ago, we went to Diba restaurant with a group of friends and although it had a good atmosphere, we were not very satisfied Bringing the food very late and each of the ten dishes at a long distance from each other, so that my friends food got cold because they were waiting for our table to be completed! Second, we waited for a very long time to bring tea, but unfortunately, they put 3 teas on the table after ten minutes and then 7 more teas. No tea was brought with it, unlike other restaurants that bring candy or chocolate with it, and even a small gift under the glass! And in the end, the quality of the food was not good at all for that high price. I hope they can work on the quality of food and service more so that we can support them.
