Shaaz offers a wide range of Indian dishes with authentic flavors and generous portions, with standout options like Telangana spicy chicken biryani, mutton paaya, kattapa veg biryani, and mandi that many reviewers call must-tries. Flavours are often described as authentic, well balanced, and tasty, with starters such as dragon chicken and paneer dishes receiving high marks. Generous portions and good value for money are recurring positives, making Shaaz a popular choice for families and groups. Service and atmosphere are praised for warmth and attentiveness, though several reviews note inconsistent execution during busy periods, slow service, and occasional order errors. Some main courses have fallen short at times, with issues like soggy rice, undercooked elements, or dishes not meeting expected authenticity, while starters and certain dishes are repeatedly described as standout. Cleanliness and maintenance, including bathrooms and tables, have been called out in a few visits, while overall the ambiance remains inviting. Overall, Shaaz is considered one of the better Indian restaurants in Montreal, especially for biryani and mandi, with room for improvement in consistency and service.
Great food & a wonderful dining experience overall. The Telangana Spicy Chicken & Desi Hakka Noodles were absolutely fabulous. The service stood out just as much as the food. Akshitha was especially welcoming, attentive, & made us feel comfortable throughout. Highly recommend this place.
Very overpriced for the poor quality & small quantity. The food was just average & not worth the money. Only a few pieces for a starter, which is not enough. The place had no proper staff, poor cleanliness, & a bad smell. Overall it feels overhyped & was a waste of time
I had a very disappointing experience at Shaaz Restaurant in Montreal downtown . We visited yesterday & placed our order, but it took almost 45 minutes for the food to be served. & it was cold Waiting that long without any proper update from the staff was extremely frustrating.
The **environment was also not good **& did not feel welcoming or comfortable at all.
When you go out to eat, you expect good service & a pleasant atmosphere, but unfortunately this place failed on both. Because of the slow service, unfriendly staff, & bad environment, I would not recommend this restaurant to others.
The food is really good, & affordable. Service was excellent, Akshitha was soo friendly & suggesting the dishes. Will definitely Recommend Friends. Best Indian Restaurant in Montreal 💯
Mediocre. Food was decent. Naan was great, Chana masala was good, saag was not good & was more so green cream & chicken. They have potential & some dishes are good but need to work on some things. Would be great to also clean a bit more, the bottom of walls etc are black & don't give you a great feeling.

We came here with our friends & we had a great time & wonderful food. We tried shahi chicken kurma aside chili onion breads, butter, garlic breads & also fried mutton briyani tasted really authentic. I personally suggest them for their service. Thanks to serveuse sukwinder.
I went with a group of friends & tried a variety of dishes. The chicken hakka noodles were the showstopper. The mutton haleem was also really good, & the starters were great. We ended with a mango lassi, which was a perfect finish.
Deux fois que je viens avec des amis différents deux fois que la cuisine est exceptionnellement bonne. Rendu la c'est un peux mon passage obligatoire 😁
