Restaurant Shamdooni

This was the best Iranian restaurant that I have ever been to anywhere, & I am so excited to come back the next time I am in Montréal.

Everything we ordered was phenomenal from the Kalam Polo, to the Kookoo Sabzi Wrap, Ash Reshteh, & Ash Dooq. I also liked their Torshi. If I lived here I would be here every single week!

While I gave this place a 5 star review, I still wanted to share a few more thoughts. Overall, the quality of the food was very good for the price. We went as a group & ordered tahchin, baghali polo with lamb shank, karafs stew, & zeytoon parvarde.

I really loved the chicken tahchin. It came with a small bowl of chicken broth that you could pour over the rice, which made it even more flavorful. The chicken was well seasoned & tasted great. The presentation was also beautiful, topped with fried almonds & barberries.

The lamb shank was well seasoned too, but the taste was just average in my opinion. I have had better elsewhere. The karafs stew was well cooked & nicely thick & settled, but it had a seasoning, maybe a hint of cinnamon, that I did not enjoy as much. That is just my personal preference though.

The ash e dough was delicious & tasted exactly how it should. Unfortunately, the zeytoon parvarde was not my favorite as it had a slightly bitter taste.

This restaurant has that small, cozy & family affair type of place! Service is good. Overall food is good but not a 4.9. Mirza gazhemi & ash was very good. Kobideh was good too but the joojeh wasn't that great, it lacked a bit of flavour. Other dishes like tachin & gheymeh were also good but not a 4.9/5. Overall food is good but if you are used to Iranian cuisine, you might be a tad disappointed! & prices are decent for 2026!

This was a great find. The food was outstanding - ordered the lunch combo which was a delicious Ash-e Reshteh soup & Koobideh sandwich. The soup was filled with a delicious blend of fresh flavours & the Koobideh was also excellent. The prices are affordable & the service was very friendly. The place is newly opened & still needs some attention to decor, but that's a small detail when the food is so good!!

Un restaurant iranien avec des repas vraiment délicieux. J'ai mangé Ash Dough qui est une sorte de soupe un peu surette avec de yaourt & j'ai adoré. L'espace est très propre & le staff accueillant. Il faut sûrement y retourner.

Rice portion is more that enough, kebab tabehi & ash reshte taste just like homemade food

Just discovered a new Iranian restaurant in downtown Montreal - & I'm blown away! The food is incredibly authentic, the staff are warm & welcoming, & every bite reminded me of my mother's cooking. I especially loved their Ash Goje & all the stews - full of flavour & comfort. Everything is made from fresh ingredients, & the prices are very affordable. A true taste of home ! I highly recommend Shamdooni to everyone!
