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.
A totally satisfied meal. Had the naan, chicken tikka masala & mutton donne biryani. Truly enjoyed the taste. As a person from Bangalore the donne biryani brought so much memories. Jamoon for dessert made it complete 😋
We got the shaadi wala laal chicken, & it was full of flavour 🤩! This place is huge & welcoming ☺?. Soni serves us with patience & kindness. Totally recommend!
I wish to give NEGATIVE stars would be an option also. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. NEVER EVER GOING TO COME BACK AGAIN.
We were a group of 6 who went to this place today. Chicken & Paneer was good. But the horrible thing was MALAI KOFTA which was more like CARDAMOM SOUP. There was no Malai in that. Worst MALAI KOFTA I have ever seen.
But, that was not at all... The scariest thing about today was that, the full serving area was managed by a BRAVE FEMALE STAFF. I forgot to ask her name but she gave her best to that job. She was taking orders, cleaning tables, handling the cash counter & serving food as well. We were there for more than 2 hours & there were almost 4-5 tables occupied by guests (somewhere around 20 people). But that girl was doing everything there was nobody who was assisting her. The shameless kitchen staff were watching through the glass but none of them had the courage to come out on the floor & help that girl.
The owner/manager should be ashamed of themselves for such poor management. This was a clear show of work place exploitation.
It felt like an Indian cooking Netflix show in there. Food was insane. Highly recommend lollipop chicken drums, it's the best fried chicken in town. Warning thought it's very complicated when the whole order is not shared with everyone.

Food is quite nice, I've come here twice, I really like the butter chicken!! 5 star recommended.

Guy, if you want to experience Indian food in Montreal you have to visit this place. Their Indo-Chinese is amazing & their mandi is great! Try their dragon chicken if you like spicy food!! Good food good service. Will visit again for sure!
I went there with a group of friends & it was phenominal. I've always been hesitant to try out Indian food in restaurants because they hardly ever compare to the homemade stuff but, this blew my expectations out of the water. We ordered a massive platter to share between the 4 of us. It was the first time I had Indo-Chinese food & it made me became an instant fan. I highly recommend their lollipop chicken & the chicken manchurian. The service was very courteous & welcoming as well. No matter how much I try I can't find a single nitpick.

Alot of choices in the menu! Tried the Mango Magic drink, would have been nicer if it were colder. Otherwise shared 3 dishes, one chicken curry, one mutton bryani & a cheese paneer, all pretty tasty & a bit spicy! We added garlic naan bread which was good.
I ordered Shahi Mutton Baryani with Afghani Chicken Tikka, both were super delicious. Place was awesome & the staff was cooperative. I think the amount of afghani tikka is less compared to the price😂. The order took a bit time & it can be understandable as there were a number of people. Overall experience was great & I hope in future will be same. Will be awesome if can increase the amount of Tikka😀😀😀
Wonderful day after visiting Shaaz for my mother's birthday 🎉 she loved it all even the spicy dishes. The butter chicken was phenomenal with buttered up nuun bread. Sensational!❤️💙
Always amazing food & service. We travel multiple hours for Shaaz - & it never fails to impress. Everything from the paneer, the Hakka noodles, biriyani, chicken curry, & even the naan is exceptional.
