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.
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.

I recently visited your restaurant & wanted to share some feedback.
The food was very good & the service was also great - the staff were friendly & attentive, & overall it was a pleasant experience. I really enjoyed the quality of the food & the atmosphere.
The only thing I wanted to mention is that I found the lack of a uniform for the servers a bit distracting. Some of the clothing, especially very short sleeves, didn't feel consistent with the professional image I expected. I think having a standard uniform or dress code could make the overall experience feel more polished.
I hope you take this as constructive feedback, as I truly did enjoy my visit & would be happy to come back.
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
Meat was juicy, vegetables were fresh, & the service was great. On top of that, it's a family business. Overall, had a good time. I'd definitely come back.
