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.
Exceptional Food & Service! I ordered catering from Chaïshaï on January 1st for my boyfriend's surprise birthday, & I couldn't be happier with my experience. The food presentation was absolutely amazing, & every dish was incredibly fresh & delicious. All our guests loved the food! What truly stood out was the exceptional service. The owners went above & beyond by personally delivering the food to my home to help make the surprise even more special. Their care & dedication truly made a difference. Chaïshaï serves the best Indian home-style food in Montreal, made with so much love & attention to detail. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Indian cuisine. A big thank you to the team at Chaïshaï for making the day so memorable
Cozy restaurent with authentic Indian interior decor. Takes you in a quick visit to India whilst being in Montreal. Family owned & food is prepared with love. Definitely lovely place to meet with friends & have a good meal. Highly recommend their karak chai.
Masala chai was prettty tasty, I liked the spice blend. Haryali & Malai boti chicken wraps were good & filling. Seekh kebab had terrible texture & the flavour didn't help. Gulab Jamun cheesecake was well presented but could have had better texture & flavour.

Love this place, feels cozy al& warm. The staff is very friendly, we had some delicious Indian cuisine. Highly recommended. Just on the note, the waiting is a bit long, so get some tea while you're waiting
Cozy spot to breakout from the busy downtown area to the family vibes & the warm welcoming smiles. Don't miss the miraculous taste of the Kashmiri Chai ❤️🔥
