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 ❤?
New Persian restaurant in downtown Montréal with very authentic, homemade-style dishes.
For brunch, they offer'Kale Pache,' the famous Iranian sheep's head dish, very fresh & tasty, but it sells out quickly, so it's best to reserve in advance.
I also tried'Baghali Polo Mahiche' (rice with lamb shank). It was incredibly delicious, the meat was so juicy it just melted in my mouth.
The chairs are a bit uncomfortable, but the food quality more than makes up for it. Definitely worth a visit, this is my new go-to spot for Iranian cuisine!
Such a wonderful place for dinner. The food is some of the best Persian food I've ever had. They even have things that I've never tried before, like Kalam Polow. It's such a cozy & inviting atmosphere & the music is amazing too. Everyone should go there at some point.
I can confidently say that Shamdini is one of the best Persian restaurants I've experienced-& I say this as a Persian myself.
The food is truly authentic & absolutely delicious. Every dish is rich in flavor, perfectly balanced, & clearly made with care. From the quality of the ingredients to the way the food is beautifully presented, everything feels thoughtful & refined. You can tell they take pride in what they serve.
What I really appreciate is the variety. Whether you're vegetarian or a meat lover, there are plenty of options to choose from, & everything I've tried has been consistently excellent.
The restaurant is also very clean, well-organized, & welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.
If you're looking for real, authentic Persian cuisine that's actually'Persian-approved,' this is the place.
I visited this restaurant during a weekend evening. It's rare to find a Persian restaurant that I like. I liked the food & the staff are nice & welcoming. The quality of the materials used is quite good too. I'm overall satisfied with my experience. (I hope they can eventually invest in the interior design a bit.)
I have to mention that cooking Persian food takes more effort than most people think. Considering the circumstances I think the price is justified.
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.
