If you’re looking for the best Iranian restaurant in Montreal, Restaurant Shali is absolutely the place to go. The flavor and cooking of the meat are outstanding — perfectly cooked, juicy, and incredibly delicious. Their Akbar Joojeh is unforgettable. It’s beautifully crispy on the outside, tender inside, and the taste honestly takes you straight to the north of Iran. A special thank you to Asal Joon for her warm hospitality. She always welcomes guests with kindness and a genuine smile and provides truly excellent service. Her positive attitude makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Restaurant Shali is one of those places you instantly fall in love with. Once you go there, you will definitely want to come back again and again. Without a doubt, one of the best Iranian restaurants in Montreal.

I've ordered zereshk polo, and Akbar joojeh from them, both generous meals, with good quality and fresh ingredients. Seems like finally there's an Iranian restaurant in Montreal with a real chef behind.

I landed in Montreal for work around 8pm and was searching for delicious and healthy options near the airport and found this gem! The kebab plates (both chicken and beef) are next level delicious and the best Persian food I’ve had to date. I ended up coming a second time on my way back to the airport and the tangy chicken kebab plate with rice and salad was amazing. Will be coming back on my next trip to Montreal!

Small restaurant, reserve in advance even for small groups. The food was delicious, very flavorful and fresh. The staff, although seems understaffed in a Friday evening, was very cordial, friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend it.

Honestly, compared to other restaurants, the food didn’t taste that special. The koobideh was the only thing that tasted pretty good. For dessert, we ordered baklava with tea. The tea was really fragrant and tasty, but the baklava was awful — like, so bad that I almost wanted to tell them we didn’t want it anymore. As for the service, the restroom was dirty, which is honestly surprising for an Iranian place. Also, there wasn’t even a single napkin on the table, so you had to ask the staff for one. Overall, I’d give it about a 3 out of 5.

Thank you for your feedback and for visiting us. We’re glad you enjoyed the koobideh and the tea. We’re sorry that other aspects of your experience did not meet expectations. We strive to offer authentic Persian flavors, and we understand that taste can be subjective. Your comments about the baklava have been shared with our kitchen team. Regarding napkins, we provide cloth napkins at the table as part of our service standard and to reduce environmental waste. Additional disposable napkins are always available upon request. Cleanliness is extremely important to us. Our restrooms are cleaned regularly throughout the day, and we will review this with our team to ensure our standards are consistently maintained. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with a better experience

An amazing authentic and wonderful Persian restaurant on des Sources blvd ❤️❤️ We made reservations for my mother’s birthday and upon entering the venue saw many families and friends enjoying the food of the restaurant 😇😇 The staff was super welcoming and answered all our questions about the food ! We started with complimentary Barley soup which was incredibly tasty ❤️❤️ For the main dishes we opted for the BBQ Flame-Cooked Meats as my mom had the Tender Barbecue Chicken Thighs while I had the Tangy Chicken Kabab (breast) and each meal came with saffron rice and salad with the BBQ Tomato. Each bite was a gourmet’s delight and super delicious and our full compliments to the chef 🙏🙏 For dessert we shared a Baklava and it was just as amazing ❤️❤️ Cannot wait to come back with the entire family and friends to this 10/10 venue and try other items in its excellent menu 😇😇 MORE UPDATES: Went with my friends and had wonderful lentil soup followed by very tasty and delicious chicken dishes ❤️❤️ For dessert we all had the saffron ice cream and it was heaven on earth 😇😇
