We keep going back to Shaan Tandoori when we order food. Everything is always really good & full of flavors, staff is friendly & nice. We always do take out, & meals are well packaged to stay warm. There are always left-overs for lunches because portions are really generous. On the south-shore of Montreal, if you like Indian dishes, Shaan is the right place.
My go-to Indian restaurant in the South Shore. From the bold smokiness of the tandoori chicken & beef bhuna to the creamy comforts of their butter chicken & saag - you really can't go wrong with this place. & if the food wasn't already enough to have you coming back for more, the staff are some of the friendliest & welcoming people I've met.
Not the most knowledgeable about Indian food, but this is just such a charming restaurant, with the nicest waiter, & amazing food at a very affordable price. Can't help but order enough food for a week. Highly recommend!
Indian food with western twist. Naans fat like half baked pizza crust, all vegetarian curries has hint of sweetness; malai kofta or paneer makhni, you won't know the difference from taste.
Always accomodating & friendly. While other places are increasing their prices &/or decreasing the portions, Shaan has maintained their prices & they don't skimp on the portions. Thank you for being fair! *March 2022: Ceylon chicken is amazing! Just make sure to tell them to not add sugar to the ceylon chicken & butter chicken (Or any dish for that matter). The mulligatawny soup is very flavourful but also inconsistent from one visit to the next. Last time there was too much fennel & far too much salt. *Dec 2021: Still the best around. *Best indian food on the south shore. Very polite staff. *
My wife & I decided to deviate from our usual Indian spot to a location that has been on our radar for quite some time now. We're very glad that decided to change it up tonight! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we felt very welcomed by the staff & service was attentive throughout. We ordered our favorite dishes, butter chicken, beef bhoona & saag paneer, all of which were delightful nostalgic but with a subtle & noticeable difference. The flavours were rich but reminded me of true home cooking. The dessert, gulab jamun was just the cherry on top. On top of this, location is easily accessible & parking was a breeze. The prices were very fair considering the increase in food cost & the awesome service. Not to mention, BYOB! We'll be back soon, hungry for more!
Great friendly service in a welcoming atmosphere. Authentic Indian cuisine with reasonable prices. Our server Ali helped us with our selections for a tastfull dinner experience. Will return regularly.
This is my go to for Indian food - & I'm Indian. Very tasty, great portions & selection. I get it delivered at least once a month. It's been around for years & we used to eat on site as a family quite often.
Great Indian restaurant with the best Butter Chicken. Choice to make your dishes not too spicy for those that can't eat spicy or more for those that prefer it. Bring all my friends here frequently.
Service was incredible. Food was excellent. I had the lamb Tikka masala & my wife the butter chicken. Both great. The naan was also great. I think I have found my new go to Indian restaurant.
