Shali est un restaurant de barbecue persan moderne situé dans l’Ouest de l’île à Montréal, offrant des saveurs persanes authentiques dans un cadre chaleureux et accueillant. Notre menu propose des kebabs juteux, des ragoûts riches et des plats traditionnels préparés avec des ingrédients de qualité et une approche moderne — le tout sans charbon, pour un goût plus propre et constant. Que vous mangiez sur place, commandiez pour emporter ou via Uber Eats ou DoorDash, nous sommes là pour vous faire découvrir la véritable cuisine persane à Montréal.
Shali Restaurant est décrit comme une adresse iranienne authentique où les kebabs et le poulet flambé au charbon se distinguent par leur tendreté, leurs saveurs riches et leurs portions généreuses, accompagnées de riz parfumé et de salades fraîches. Le rapport qualité-prix est globalement favorable et l'option BYOW est appréciée, ce qui permet de partager facilement les plats. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et familiale, le service est généralement amical et attentif, même si des avis ponctuels évoquent une certaine lenteur ou un personnel débordé lors des soirées fortes. La carte est louée pour sa variété et sa fraîcheur, certains plats et la cuisson du koobideh ou du joojeh étant cités comme parmi les meilleurs kebabs de Montréal, avec des desserts au safran appréciés. Des retours plus critiques soulignent des détails comme l'organisation du service, la propreté de certaines zones ou la nécessité de serviettes sur les tables, mais l'ensemble des avis convergent vers une expérience gourmande et conviviale qui donne envie de revenir.
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.

I've ordered zereshk polo, & Akbar joojeh from them, both generous meals, with good quality & fresh ingredients. Seems like finally there's an Iranian restaurant in Montreal with a real chef behind.
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.
I landed in Montreal for work around 8pm & was searching for delicious & healthy options near the airport & found this gem! The kebab plates (both chicken & beef) are next level delicious & the best Persian food I've had to date. I ended up coming a second time on my way back to the airport & the tangy chicken kebab plate with rice & salad was amazing. Will be coming back on my next trip to Montreal!
Small restaurant, reserve in advance even for small groups. The food was delicious, very flavorful & fresh. The staff, although seems understaffed in a Friday evening, was very cordial, friendly & welcoming. I would highly recommend it.
We were a group of 7 nurse work mates. We were all extremely pleased with the taste of every dish we ordered. Easy to see & taste that the preparation of each dish was made as if prepared for family members. The flavor profiles exquisite.
The service staff were pleasant, inviting & excellent with the clients. BYOW was a bonus.
We plan to return. Strongly suggest you eat here.
If you have ever tried Persian restaurants & had Persian kebabs, I strongly recommend you to try Shali Restaurant.
Besides the high quality dishes, the portions are enormous & delicious. Also I can say that the prices are very reasonable.
& finally, the personnel are so nice & always welcome you with a beautiful smile.

We visited Shali for a birthday dinner based on recommendation by a work colleague. We booked table about a week ahead & they accommodated our group of 10 people with no issues on the Friday night of event. It was quite busy so I do recommend rsvp for weekend evenings. Prices are definitely not the cheapest, however the freshness & rich taste of every item on the plate did not make me regret my decision! Worth every dollar! Furthermore, the byob option kinda balance out the cost for the meal. Though they seemed short staffed for the service side, I really found it reasonable considering we were a larger table. I definitely recommend this restaurant specially for the die hard carnivores that appreciate the charcoal flavor infusion to their meat!
Service was great! The food was a festival of tastes! The staff members were so kind & attentive! We go there from time to time & the service is consistently excellent. Our favourite restaurant. Go with a combo & try different dishes!!!
A huge thank you to the wonderful team at Shali for generously providing free food during the Global Day of Action on February 14 - your kindness truly made a difference & is deeply appreciated!
I have just been wowed!!
Tried the Barg (beef) & the Jooje (chicken breast) & loved them both very much.
Rice - excellent & not greasy
Meat - tender & great quality flavour
Chicken - outstandingly delicious
Salad - light & dances on the palate
Service - super friendly
Sweet Saffron Rice dessert - Wow!
Ambiance - relaxing background music
Cleanliness - All was clean & amazing
I need to go back soon.
Thank you Shali for this wonderful food experience! ❤?😀👍🏻
Honestly, compared to other restaurants, the food didn't taste that special. The koobideh was the only thing that tasted pretty good.
For dessert, we ordered baklava with tea. The tea was really fragrant & tasty, but the baklava was awful - like, so bad that I almost wanted to tell them we didn't want it anymore.
As for the service, the restroom was dirty, which is honestly surprising for an Iranian place. Also, there wasn't even a single napkin on the table, so you had to ask the staff for one.
Overall, I'd give it about a 3 out of 5.
