I'm new to Iranian food, & I don't know what we ate( except for fasanjoon), but everything was delicious! We tried lamb shank with rice & green beans & it was also amazing ! In the fast food insfested downtown area, this place give me hope that good affordable food is still possible🙏
Great place with great food & great service! We loved everything about this place. The rice reminded me of the rice we used to eat back home! Highly recommend! Our server was very nice as well!
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!
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.
