Review Summary

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.

Shaaz stands out for its remarkable culinary offerings & inviting atmosphere. As you enter, the warm lighting & elegant décor immediately set a comfortable & welcoming tone. The interior blends traditional charm with modern sophistication, making it an ideal spot for both casual dinners & special occasions. Service at Shaaz is exemplary. The staff is attentive & knowledgeable, providing prompt & courteous service without being intrusive. They are quick to offer recommendations & ensure that each dish is delivered at the optimal temperature, enhancing the overall dining experience. The menu features a range of delectable options, with the mutton juicy mandi & mutton biryani being standout choices. The mutton juicy mandi is a flavorful & succulent dish, with tender pieces of mutton perfectly spiced & served with fragrant rice. The mutton biryani is equally impressive, boasting a rich, aromatic blend of spices that complements the tender meat & fluffy rice. For those seeking a taste of traditional dishes, the haleem is a must-try. Its creamy texture & robust flavors reflect a well-balanced mix of spices & slow-cooked meat, offering a comforting & hearty meal. The Raja Rani chicken is another highlight, featuring juicy, well-marinated chicken in a savory sauce that's both rich & satisfying. To finish, the junnu is a delightful dessert choice, with its smooth, custard-like consistency & subtle sweetness providing a perfect end to the meal. Overall, Shaaz delivers an exceptional dining experience with its excellent food, attentive service, & charming ambience. It's a destination worth visiting for anyone looking to enjoy traditional & flavorful dishes in a refined setting.

Our group of five ordered one family-sized Mutton Juicy Mandi & one Spicy Chicken Mandi for takeout. This was my first time ordering from this restaurant. Before placing the order, I contacted them to confirm how many people each dish could serve. They assured me that a single Mandi could serve two people & the family-sized Mandi could serve three. However, when I opened the food at home, I was shocked by the quantity. Together, both dishes could only serve three people. The Mandi box & the family pack tray were not even 70% full. Based on the portions, I'd say the family pack could only serve two people, & the single Mandi box was also far from full. At that moment, I wasn't sure if this was a one-time issue or if it happens regularly. I contacted the restaurant to express my concern, but they responded by saying they couldn't do anything about it now & would not repeat it in the future. I had to drive all the way from Laval to downtown to pick up the order, & we ended up having to order from another restaurant to feed the remaining two people. I'm not here to comment on the taste-it was good-but the quantity was utterly disappointing. Due to this experience, they have lost me & my friends as customers. So, before ordering from this restaurant, be sure to take note of the portion sizes.
