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.
Food is excellent but service is bad, no one served us water unless we asked, no one picked up our plates before dessert unless we asked. Lady at the counter doesnt seem to know much about customer service
Probably the best butter chicken I've ever had. It's a family recipe that uses dark meat instead of white & is very tender as a result. The spices are perfect. Amazing! Try the garlic nan as well. Also, the Mango Lassi is delicious. I'll be back often.
I had a wonderful evening here! The server took care of my gluten allergy & recommended the right dishes. Had Chicken Malai Boti. It was excellent. Their mango lassi was really good. Hahaha, my friend ordered two of them!
Maison ChaiShai offers an incredible dining experience with a delightful fusion of Indian flavors. The Butter Chicken Poutine is a unique twist that's both comforting & flavorful. The Chicken Biryani is a standout dish, showcasing aromatic spices & tender meat. The overall dining experience at Maison ChaiShai is a treat for anyone seeking exceptional Indian cuisine.

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
Absolutely thrilled with my experience at ChaiShai! The ambience & music create a fantastic atmosphere. The food is not only fresh but also incredibly delicious. My go-to is the Haryali Chicken paired with Garlic naan-a must-try combination. Wholeheartedly recommend ChaiShai to everyone!
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.

On a trouvé cette perle en se promenant près de Concordia. On a été agréablement surpris par l'ambiance & éblouis par le goût & la qualité de la nourriture. Il faut absolument essayer le poulet au beurre & le naan à l'ail.
Small portions, some of the chicken wraps are very dry. Nevertheless I must admit that the biryani rice is so aromatic & tasty as well as the onion pakoras. The staff is very friendly
Decided to check this place out over the weekend. Ordered Samosas, Kashmiri Chai, gulabjamun n gulabjamun cheesecake.
Was glad to see butter chicken poutine-sort of fusion Indo Québécois’s!
Chai was great
