Phenomenal dinner. So worth it!
Try everything you can on the menu; no regrets. The raw onion was a little surprising, but I think the idea is to nibble on it as you go.
Unassuming from the outside but delicious food with friendly service. The menu is small but tasty and our meal was well-cooked with perfectly tender chicken, delicious rice and salad. Was our first time but we'll definitely be back soon.
BEST BIRTHDAY DINNER!. I had read that the food was good but it was amazingly delicious, mouth watering. I had been wanting to try it but my kids kept refusing but I forced them since it was my birthday and they both thought it was sooo good. Even the water was ice cold and delicious, I'm not kidding, the water was good. And, the service was great! They stuck a lit birthday candle in my grilled tomato and my dinner was on the house! Okay, it was a bit too hot and smokey in there and the tables were close together... but worth it. I love, love, loved it!
Best Persian food in the town of Ottawa. Always fresh and never frozen. Would recommend this place to everyone in Ottawa. Great service, and friendly staff.
We arrived from Toronto, we experienced the perfect, fresh, yammy, high quality food in canada, the owners personality was #1. I deeply recommended to try it even for one time.
Delicious food, one of the best kebabs I had ever
Best food in town by far...97% positive rating from over 100 users says it all. Dont cheat urself people...treat urself to the real deal. You will not be disappointed. I will never eat another shawarma plate again. Quality meets value. I can't say enough.
The best Kebbob in town, hands down!!!. Order anything, chances are you cannot be dissapointed!!!
All fresh and tasty, all healthy and made in front of your eyes. Oh! the price is also very reasonable.
Only bad thing is they close earlyish and they are not open on Sundays.

The best persian food in town. One of the hidden jewels in the Ottawa dinning scene.
This is a very simple looking restaurant that is far from simple.
Food is delicious, fresh and made in front of you. The staff is pleasant and helpful and the price is very reasonable.
What else can we ask for?
A must try!!! and keep :)
Great place for all my favorites kabobs!. I highly recommend this place ! great service ! delicious dishes ! excellent kabobs ! thanks for all their hard work !
A little far from the business core, but the entire team felt it was really worth the walk. Even on this cold winter day. Great food, friendly service. A hallmark of a great mom and pop establishment. Upgrade your rice to include barberry. The cook is keen to please.
Excellent food...! Fantastic service... great first time experience.... my friends recommended it.. so I went with them.
Shekarchi Express rocked my world!! I honestly can't say enough about the food here. We showed up late, at 7:30pm and they close by 8. The owner was very kind, warm and inviting and told us to take our time. The waitress was very sweet and attentive. Once you try their food you quickly look past the wobbly table and folding chairs. We ordered Joojeh Kabob, Koobideh Kabob and Barg Kabob (Filet Kabob). Everything was cooked to perfection, just so perfect. The place smelt so good too, kitchen is right there, close to the tables. I couldn't get over the flavours!! They truly know what they're doing. I was full but couldn't stop because it was just that good. Almost ten years in business, this placed should be packed every night. I can't wait to go back!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
By far one of the best and most authentic Persian foods I've had in my life. I was visitng Ottawa and was craving Persian food. Went in and tried this place out. Ordered jooje kabab and was not disappointed by the presentation and taste. Supreme quality. Friendly staff. Wish they had other branches, even one in Toronto.
One of the Best Persian Kebab places I have tried in Ottawa. The meat is always fresh, juicy and tender with generous portions. Vaziri dish is mostly recommended with an appetizer of Mast'O Khiar.
This place is a small resturant with few menu orders. They have the best iranian food. Vaziri is the dish you want to order. It comes with DELICIOUS RICE . I highly recommand this restaurent. The food is always always fresh. This restaurant is run by family, wife and husband. They are closed every sunday and monday.
Incredible food at great price, staff is very attentive to customers. Will definitely return!
Excelent.....The staff are amazing they show great hospitality which is driven by the Persian culture. The food is absolutely amazing and one of a kind in Canada considering I have traveled from east to west of the country and yet have not witnessed a greater taste in terms of authenticity delivered by this restaurant. Good portion reasonable price and pretty much the number one spot if you want to know what Persian food is all about. Just amazing both service and the food. The owner is very humble and respectful as well. And I love their hospitality and professionalism accompanied by the great food...loved it I'll go back again today
Excellent food, great staff! The portions are generous, the price is right. They have this wonderful tradition of ringing their famous ship bell upon the departure of their kind clientele as a sign of thanks. They also do take out and make a great spread for a party!
I have been eating at this place for 4 years. The smell of the food, the texture, the pleasant personality of the owner preparing the food himself, the rice crust and the meat is The Gold Standard in Ottawa and is the same as the truly authentic Persian food I Tried in Iraq, Kuwait and lebanon.
Worth the price.
Best Persian Kebab in Ottawa. they are so welcoming and nice It's almost like home. the quality of food is number one absolutely delicious. I am hungry already!
