Review Summary

Shamdooni is described as a warm, authentic Persian restaurant in downtown Montreal that consistently delivers generous portions, flavorful dishes, and good value. Reviews highlight authentic favorites such as dizi, ghorme sabzi, fesenjan, joojeh, koobideh, baghali polo, tahchin, and ash reshteh, with rice often praised as well cooked and the meals feeling homemade and comforting. The service is frequently praised for friendliness and hospitality, with staff going the extra mile, including sharing homemade bread and tea, and even delivering orders during busy times. The atmosphere is described as cozy, unpretentious, and family like. While most feedback is very positive, a few notes mention slower service when busy, some dishes not meeting expectations such as tenderness of meat or balance of flavors, and occasional issues with wait times or accuracy. Overall the restaurant is regarded as a gem for traditional Iranian cuisine at affordable prices, offering a memorable and homey dining experience in the city.

I would never be willing to eat at this restaurant again. Unfortunately, the environment was not very pleasant, & the quality of the two dishes we ordered was very poor. It was quite obvious that the food was not fresh, which was really disappointing.
In addition, the staff's behavior was not very professional, & the constant movement of employees around the restaurant was quite distracting & made it difficult to enjoy the meal.
If the food had been good, these issues might have been easier to overlook. However, compared to many other Iranian restaurants in Montreal, this place is unfortunately much weaker in terms of quality. I do not recommend this restaurant at all.

We ordered Barg kebab & Zeitoon parvarde.Barg kebab meat was NOT tender & Zeitoon parvarde was sweet & a bit bitter.I don't recommend it. Price was normal . 2x Barg kebab with rice+1x zetoon parvarde +2drinks =75$ .You can have better quality persian food with this price in Montreal !

We went to Shamdooni & honestly-this place absolutely nailed it. They serve traditional Persian dizi the way it's meant to be done. Everything from the food to the service felt authentic, generous, & full of heart.

For the price, you get an incredible amount of food & an even bigger dose of genuine Persian hospitality. The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, & the whole experience feels real-not commercialized, not rushed. Just honest, comforting food.

I'm saying this as someone who comes from Toronto, where there's no shortage of places serving dizi, so the competition is real. & still-this was by far one of the best dizi experiences I've had in a long time. It genuinely reminded me of home.

If you're in Montreal & looking for proper dizi & an authentic Persian experience, I'd 100% recommend Shamdooni without hesitation.

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!
