This is the best Iranian kebab I've had in Montreal. The food is absolutely delicious, & the staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming. The whole experience was wonderful. I highly recommend this place if you want to try authentic Iranian food.

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 😇😇

The food at Shali Persian Restaurant is absolutely amazing-authentic flavors, beautifully prepared, & consistently delicious. What truly elevates the experience, however, is the service provided by Samaneh. She works tirelessly, always with a warm smile, & ensures that every guest feels welcome & cared for.

To be honest, the service quality depends entirely on her presence.
I sincerely hope the owners appreciate her value & reward her accordingly, because Samaneh is the heart of this restaurant.

If you're looking for authentic middle eastern taste, you've found it. The quality & taste of those grilled meats are just spectacular. Definitely more suited for groups as portions are huge & perfect for sharing.

Great little persian restaurant. They serve all authentic food. Their rice is always perfectly fluffy & their meat is cooked to perfection. I recommend it to anyone looking for authentic food in a cozy setting.

Amazing restaurant serving high quality authentic Persian food! The waitress was very friendly & provided excellent recommendations & fast service. The new Safran rice pudding (Sholeh Zard) is an excellent choice for dessert.
