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.
Shali is honestly one of the best Persian kababs I've ever had ! The staff is very kind & the atmosphere & very relaxed. Great value for the price & extremely tasty!
A very welcoming restaurant, with delicious Persian food. The interior is modest & charming. The staff is very pleasant & hospitable. It is so nice to be greeted with a smile at the door. The menu is more extensive than other Persian restaurants in the city. The restaurant offers all the traditional Persian grilled meats, as well as hard to find Persian specialties. We particularly enjoyed the Fesenjoon chicken stew. All dishes that we tried were delicious! Being able to bring a bottle of your favourite wine, to complement the flavours, completes the experience!

Really enjoyed our visit here. Everything from ordering to receiving the food was smooth & stress free. The staff members were warm & attentive, & the overall setting felt inviting. I'd absolutely recommend this place for a casual outing.
From the moment you step in the restaurant, you feel completely at ease. The ambience is truly unique & everyone around seems genuinely happy with what's been served at their tables. The staff is courteous & the manager is exceptionally polite & attentive. As for food, all I can sayis that I've never tasted Middle Eastern cuisine this delicious before. Five stars don't feel like enough, is there anything beyond that?
Hands down the best Persian restaurant in Montreal. The warm hospitality, professional staff, & exceptional food quality combined with a wonderful atmosphere made for a perfect experience. Highly recommended to anyone seeking authentic flavors.
A perfect evening. The atmosphere is cozy & the menu is quite diverse. I loved the fresh flavors & the creamy textures of our meal. The servers were fantastic & very attentive. Overall, it was an unforgettable dining experience that I would recommend to anyone.
