Shamdooni stands out for authentic Persian cuisine with generous portions, fresh ingredients, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Reviewers highlight dishes like Kalam Polow, Tahchin, Ash Reshteh, Ghorme Sabzi, Baghali Polo with lamb shank, Kookoo Sabzi, and Joojeh, praising rich flavors, thoughtful presentation, and solid value for the price. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, with several notes about exceptional hospitality, including a personal touch such as bread and tea. While some dishes are noted as slightly oily or spicy for some tastes, and service can be slower during busy times, the overall experience is consistently described as comforting, homey, and genuinely Persian. Many call Shamdooni one of Montreal's best Persian restaurants, with a breadth of options for vegetarians and meat lovers alike, and a sense that the food tastes homemade and carefully prepared. The restaurant is depicted as clean, cozy, and inviting, with a vibe that makes guests feel welcome and well cared for.
Tonight I ordered from this restaurant & honestly it was one of the best Persian food experiences I've had in Montreal. The food was high quality, fresh, & the portions were very good. Everything arrived perfectly hot & fresh 😍
It truly tasted homemade, just like authentic Persian mom-style cooking. Everything was delicious & made with care. Thank you so much - I'll definitely order again ❤?
They brought hot, fresh Iranian bread & mast-o-musir as a welcome dish, which was awesome. We tried ash reshteh, dolmeh, & kuku sabzi - all of them were delicious, just as we expected. The main dish, koobideh, was good, but the kalam polo was a bit too greasy. Overall, everything was perfect, & if I come back to Montreal, I would definitely love to try it again.

Quality is good, & price/portion ratio is totally reasonable if not low.
I like what they have done to decorate the place, although there are room for improvement & they're doing so as they go on.
I liked the service that was provided by Shahin. He was working alone in the salon & helping out in the kitchen & yet managed to take care of all the customers with care & attention.
Overalls we would definitely be back to try their other dishes.

We went to this restaurant for breakfast - the service was really good & quick. Really kind & nice staff. Kale pache was tasty & well cooked but Halim was average. Quiet & cozy environment
Super adresse iranienne à Montréal!! Cuisine riche en saveurs, très parfumée & pleine de finesse. Excellentes options végétariennes, avec des plats bien équilibrés, un riz parfaitement maîtrisé & des accompagnements savoureux. Accueil chaleureux & ambiance simple, authentique & conviviale. Une très belle découverte pour découvrir la cuisine iranienne. J'y retournerai sans hésiter!!

Super flavorful iranian food! Been wanting to try iranian food for a while in montreal, & it did not miss. Enjoyed it so much. The meat was so delicate & the rice was just a fusion of taste.
