Shali Restaurant

5.0

If you're looking for the best Iranian restaurant in Montreal, Restaurant Shali is absolutely the place to go. The flavor & cooking of the meat are outstanding - perfectly cooked, juicy, & incredibly delicious.

Their Akbar Joojeh is unforgettable. It's beautifully crispy on the outside, tender inside, & the taste honestly takes you straight to the north of Iran.

A special thank you to Asal Joon for her warm hospitality. She always welcomes guests with kindness & a genuine smile & provides truly excellent service. Her positive attitude makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Restaurant Shali is one of those places you instantly fall in love with. Once you go there, you will definitely want to come back again & again.

Without a doubt, one of the best Iranian restaurants in Montreal.

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 kebab was tasty & juicy. I just wish the chicken kebab had been saffron-flavored, but overall the quality of the kebabs was good, & I would recommend this restaurant

Hands down some of the best Iranian food in the area. The kebabs at Shali are consistently tender & juicy, never dry like some other places. Great service & even better food. I'll definitely be coming back for more!'

De loin l'une des meilleures cuisines iraniennes de la région. Les kebabs chez Shali sont toujours tendres & juteux, jamais secs comme dans certains autres restaurants. Excellent service & cuisine encore meilleure. Je reviendrai sans hésiter !

Went with three friends & had an amazing meal. The koobideh was insanely juicy-honestly one of the best I've had. All the other skewers were equally impressive: perfectly cooked, full of flavor, & clearly high quality. Great portions & a warm, welcoming vibe. Bonus points for being bring-your-own-wine. Definitely coming back.
