Shamdooni est décrit comme une expérience persane authentique à Montréal, avec des plats savoureux à des prix raisonnables et des portions généreuses dans un cadre chaleureux et intime. La carte reçoit des éloges pour la qualité et la fraîcheur des plats tels que le dizi, le ghorme sabzi, le tahdig, le baghali polo, le koofteh et le kebab, accompagnés d’un riz parfaitement cuit et d’un pain maison. Le service est souvent salué pour sa gentillesse et son accueil, et l'ambiance est décrite comme conviviale et sans prétention. Certaines expériences signalent des temps d'attente plus longs et un service parfois moins réactif, et quelques plats peuvent manquer de tendreté ou de saveur selon les goûts. Dans l'ensemble, Shamdooni est perçu comme une option fiable pour une cuisine iranienne maison, généreuse et accessible, appréciée par des clients en quête d'authenticité, de chaleur humaine et d'un bon rapport qualité-prix.
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.
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 !
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!
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.
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!!
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!
