Review Summary

Shaaz is widely praised as a top Indian restaurant in Montreal with a menu that appeals to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, featuring standout biryani and mandi, rich curries, soft naan, and generous portions at good value; reviewers often highlight bold flavors, careful presentation, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, though some experiences note inconsistent service, slow timing during peak hours, and occasional cleanliness or management issues; Indo Chinese dishes and Hyderabadi specialties are repeatedly recommended as must-tries, and takeout or catering is seen as reliable, making Shaaz a place many are eager to return to for the quality food despite occasional service hiccups.

Biryanis are really good... But didn't like chicken dum biryani.. it's rice is dry & have only 2 chicken pieces in it. No flavors.. very flat taste. I'll not recommend it.. Telangana biryani is so damn good a bit spicy'best'... This 5 star rating is just for that...

The starters were absolutely top notch. We ordered Dragon Gobi & Peshwari Paneer Tikka, & both were delicious, well-cooked, & full of flavor.

Unfortunately, the main course was a letdown. The Veg Schezwan Fried Rice was very soggy, & the rice was only half-cooked & hard to chew. When we informed the staff, we were told that'this is how it is,' which was disappointing.

We also ordered Kattapa Mutton Biryani & faced the same issue-undercooked rice. This time, the staff acknowledged the mistake, apologized, & replaced it with Donne Mutton Biryani, which was decent. However, the rice & meat were cooked separately, which didn't feel authentic or make sense for a Donne biryani.

Overall, I had high expectations based on the starters, but the main course failed to live up to them.

I am terribly disappointed with the quantity & taste of Chicken 65. I just ordered it & it is overly salted & the portion size is a trick. It is 3/4 of the regular container for the same price as their biryani. I should have ordered the biryani because of the price atleast I would have had the rice to soak up salt. I cannot believe that Shaaz would do this. As a customer who values traditional food, this place is terrible with portion sizes for delivery. Paying 20 dollars to receive something that even Tim hortons would do a better job! I would advise the store owners to do better rather than telling people not to come here. I enjoyed other platters but for the chicken 65, I would rate 0/10 for today. The portion seems full but the box is very flat & small.

Food is really good, we got different chicken biryani dishes & they were both excellent ! The spice, the taste, the rice everything is really good, I'll go back for sure. Portions are really good too! The service was excellent too.

Vraiment délicieux, la soupe au mouton est une des meilleures choses que j'ai pu goûter dans un restaurant indien. Les plats végétariens sont très bons, le chicken Korma vraiment savoureux. Les pains naans valent le coup car moins coûteux que dans d'autres restaurants. Bon accueil souriant !

Online ordering sucks, neither they take order over phone nor their website works.

They push to Uber Eats & force us to pay extra money intentionally.

The food here falls short of my expectations. While I have visited Shaaz in Toronto before, this establishment does not seem to offer the same quality. They previously served Hyderabad Zafrani Legacy, but this restaurant does not come close to that style of cuisine.
