Review Summary

Patrons describe Shamdooni as a warm, authentic Persian spot with a homey, family feel, offering traditional dishes such as dizi, ghorme sabzi, baghali polo, ash reshteh, tahdig, koofteh, kebab, and lamb shank in generous portions. Service and hospitality are frequent highlights, with staff described as friendly and attentive and even a personal delivery from the owner on a busy night. The atmosphere is often described as welcoming and comforting, though a few reviews note slower service or decor that could use a refresh. While some dishes may be a touch oily or not as bold in flavor as the most ardent Iranian cuisine enthusiasts expect, many meals are praised for quality ingredients, homemade-tasting preparation, and solid value. Overall the reviews position Shamdooni as a standout Persian option in Montreal, delivering hearty, satisfying meals that feel honest and heartfelt.

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 !

It's rare these days to find restaurants who put love into the art of cooking & fortunately, Shamdooni does this right. Food is exceptional. What's even more impressive is the quality of food for the price. A gem in the heart of Montreal to be discovered & hopefully, continuing to thrive.

The waiter was exceptional. Thank you for letting me try the homemade bread & tea. You have done Iran proud.

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!

I ordered a Koobideh dish, it was terrible, I have had many koobideh's in my life & this one was by far the worst.
1- the Scewer sizes were very small
2- The Koobideh had a yellow colour in it which I think was due to Turmeric in it, Koobideh recipes never call for Turmeric!
3- The onion portion to ground beef was not proper!

The waiter was very kind & polite.

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.

Amazing food & even more amazing people!
The food was absolutely delicious, but what impressed me even more was the kindness of the owner & the whole staff. I tried to place an order through Uber, but it didn't work. It was Christmas Eve, & the owner was so incredibly nice that he personally delivered the food to us himself. That level of care & hospitality is truly rare.
Wishing you endless success - you absolutely deserve it!
