Review Summary

Shali Restaurant delivers authentic Persian cuisine with tender kebabs and hearty portions, where fragrant aromas welcome guests and the atmosphere feels warm and family oriented. The menu features koobideh and traditional stews, fragrant rice, and standout desserts, all offered at prices that reflect generous servings. A notable perk is the option to bring your own wine, which helps set a relaxed vibe for groups. Reviews consistently praise friendly, attentive service and a cozy, welcoming setting, though a few notes mention slower pacing or occasional inconsistencies in service or presentation. Overall, the dining experience is described as satisfying and memorable, with many calls to return to try more dishes and to revisit one of the area’s top Persian spots.

Honestly, compared to other restaurants, the food didn't taste that special. The koobideh was the only thing that tasted pretty good.
For dessert, we ordered baklava with tea. The tea was really fragrant & tasty, but the baklava was awful - like, so bad that I almost wanted to tell them we didn't want it anymore.
As for the service, the restroom was dirty, which is honestly surprising for an Iranian place. Also, there wasn't even a single napkin on the table, so you had to ask the staff for one.
Overall, I'd give it about a 3 out of 5.

An amazing authentic & wonderful Persian restaurant on des Sources blvd ❤?❤? We made reservations for my mother's birthday & upon entering the venue saw many families & friends enjoying the food of the restaurant 😇😇 The staff was super welcoming & answered all our questions about the food ! We started with complimentary Barley soup which was incredibly tasty ❤?❤? For the main dishes we opted for the BBQ Flame-Cooked Meats as my mom had the Tender Barbecue Chicken Thighs while I had the Tangy Chicken kebab (breast) & each meal came with saffron rice & salad with the BBQ Tomato. Each bite was a gourmet's delight & super delicious & our full compliments to the chef 🙏🙏 For dessert we shared a Baklava & it was just as amazing ❤?❤? Cannot wait to come back with the entire family & friends to this 10/10 venue & try other items in its excellent menu 😇😇 MORE UPDATES: Went with my friends & had wonderful lentil soup followed by very tasty & delicious chicken dishes ❤?❤? For dessert we all had the saffron ice cream & it was heaven on earth 😇😇

I truly can't say enough about our experience at Shali. We went last night to celebrate my dad's 76th birthday; we ordered Soltani plates, jooje kebab, mast o musir, kashke bademjan- every plate was better than the next. We all agreed that their kebab barg was BY FAR the best we've ever had; it was so tender & juicy, truly perfection. Their kubideh was just as outstanding. All the appetizers were made with love, you could taste it.

The service was amazing! Everyone was so warm, helpful & welcoming; they made you feel right at home💚🤍❤??🩹 I wish I had asked for our waitresse's name, she was so sweet & had the warmest laugh! They served our food in a timely manner, no delays & made sure we always had what we needed.

It felt really nice to be surrounded by our community in these hard times, it was so nice to see families, couples & friends all gathered in a cozy, humble place that delivers excellence & love in every word & mouthful.

I truly wish you all the best, you deserve every bit of recognition. This place is really a gem & I invite you to try it for yourselves because you won't be disappointed!

The service was excellent & the portions were generous. The food was tasty & well cooked - not too salty - though a little oily. The atmosphere is peaceful on weekends & parking is convenient. Overall, a very satisfying dining experience that I'd happily return to despite the slight greasiness.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at this fantastic neighborhood restaurant. We had friends in town & decided to try it out as we had never been there before. This is my new hidden treasure/go to with friends. The food was excellent, the vibe was family oriented & the staff were very nice. I dine out alot & trust me, this place ranks up there. With the added Bring your own wine, it makes for a great night out!!! 5 stars all around!!!

Visiting friends from out of province, & so very sorry we won't be able to come back until summer .
From the moment we walked in, the wonderful aroma welcomed us!
The service was so welcoming & friendly., the food was delicious !
They first served us a delicious barley soup. We then lovingly enjoyed The Warm eggplant Dish, followed by the main courses of Traditional Persian stews, & chicken breast with saffron rice & salad.
Looking forward to our next visit to Montreal so we can come back & enjoy more selections from this restaurant
