Review Summary

Maison ChaïShaï is praised for authentic Indian and Pakistani flavors, a standout chai program, and a diverse menu that covers classic street foods, hearty mains, and creative twists like butter chicken poutine. The ambiance is described as warm, colorful, and welcoming, with a family-run vibe and generally friendly service, though a few visits note slower pacing or inconsistency. Flavors are repeatedly highlighted as delicious and satisfying, with chai, Kashmiri chai, samosas, dahi puri, pani puri, biryani, and desserts like Gulab Jamun earning frequent praise, while some guests find portions small for the price or question value. Many reviewers say they would return for the food and atmosphere and appreciate the reasonable prices and the option to try traditional and fusion dishes in one place.

The service was amazing to begin but the food wasn't . There is very little variety of food . We got chicken boti .there was some of the pieces were undercooked & we found hair in it , then we got butter paneer & It wasn't bad & the Chana masala was lacked masala cuz it was flavourlesss . The naan were so thick & weren't cooked properly . None of the dessert was tasty . All in all the service & atmosphere is good but not food

ChaiShai in Montreal has truly mastered the art of chai. Their Kashmiri, Karak, & Masala Chai are unparalleled-nobody else comes close. Each sip is a flavorful journey, making it the ultimate destination for chai enthusiasts. A must-visit for an authentic & delightful chai experience.

I was visiting the area from Vancouver. The décor is nice. Very warm & low-key that I love. My one suggestion for improvement would be serving chai in actual mugs & not the disposable ones.
Tea always taste better that way & it is far more sustainable & environmentally friendly that having to throw cups out after single use.
I tried the Kashmiri chai & Masala chai. Prefer the masala chai.
