Shali is a modern Persian BBQ restaurant located in West Island, Montreal, offering authentic Persian flavors in a warm and welcoming setting. Our menu features juicy kebabs, rich stews, and traditional Persian dishes made with high-quality ingredients and a modern approach — all prepared without charcoal for a cleaner, consistent taste. Whether you’re dining in, taking out, or ordering through Uber Eats or DoorDash, we’re here to share the true taste of Persian cuisine in Montreal.
Shali Restaurant is widely praised as one of Montreal's best Persian spots, with koobideh and joojeh noted for their juiciness and flavor, generous portions, and fresh ingredients that make the kebabs stand out; the menu is described as authentic with saffron rice and a range of traditional dishes, while the warm, attentive service and welcoming, family vibe draw many diners back, and the BYOW option helps balance the value, even though weekend busy times can slow service.
We had koobideh & kebab torsh, & both were really delicious. I especially liked the kebab torsh. The atmosphere & service were great overall. The restaurant is spacious, with plenty of tables, so it was easy to get seated.
As far as the food & service, this restaurant is truly incredible. However, the placement of the pahlavi flag is truly disappointing & unnecessary. I can no longer eat at this establishment knowing that it supported the bombing of our homeland Iran 🇮🇷. The lost souls of Minab will never be forgotten!
First time trying Iranian food & WOW - everything was incredible! The food was so tasty, the vibe was cozy, & the staff were super friendly.
10/10 experience, highly recommend!

It was a very good experience. We ordered a tray of several types of kebabs, the food was really delicious & the kebabs were very soft & delicious. Good luck.
I had another wonderful experience at Shali Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the flavorful kebabs & perfectly cooked rice. Everything tasted fresh & authentic.
What really stood out was the exceptional hospitality from the staff. The service was impressively fast, even though we were a large group. They welcomed us warmly, accommodated all of our requests, & made sure everyone was taken care of.
To make the evening even more special, they kindly served our cake, along with tea & music, creating a memorable & enjoyable atmosphere for our celebration.
Highly recommend this place for both the food & the outstanding service!
Fantastic food....all kabob types were cooked to perfection. The quality of the dishes certainly put this place at top 3 Persian restaurants in the east coast.
