Ambiance - relaxing background music
Cleanliness - All was clean & amazing

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.

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 😇😇

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!
