Review Summary

Shaaz is widely recognized for offering authentic and flavorful Indian cuisine, with many patrons praising the quality of dishes like the biryanis, mandi, and various chicken specialties. While the food consistently earns high marks for its taste and generous portions, the overall dining experience remains divided due to inconsistent service and varying levels of restaurant cleanliness. Many visitors highlight the exceptionally friendly and attentive service provided by certain staff members, which creates a welcoming atmosphere, though others report frustrating wait times, disorganized operations, and occasional issues with food consistency or menu pricing. Despite these mixed reviews regarding operational efficiency and environment, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those seeking delicious, aromatic meals in the heart of the city.

When Shaaz first opened, the food & service were outstanding, which is why we kept coming back. Unfortunately, today's experience was very disappointing.

The restaurant was clearly understaffed. Despite it being a busy evening, there was only one server handling everything-taking orders, serving food, answering phone calls, & attending all the tables. He was trying his best, but one person simply can't manage it all.

The food quality has also gone downhill. The Paneer Methi Chaman, which used to have a rich & creamy gravy, was watery this time. The Mushroom 65 was served cold, soggy, & lacked the crispiness it's supposed to have.

We hope the management addresses these issues & brings back the quality that made Shaaz one of our favorite Indian restaurants.

Great Indian food with plenty of flavor! We ordered the spicy chicken & dragon chicken, & both dishes were delicious with just the right amount of spice. Friendly service & a great overall experience. Highly recommend!

I visited this restaurant with my friends & had the Chicken Masala & Garlic Naan. The food was absolutely delicious & full of flavor. The chicken masala was perfectly cooked, & the garlic naan was fresh & complemented the dish very well.

We also tried the Gulab Jamun, & it was amazing-soft, fresh, & just the right level of sweetness.

Overall, the food was very tasty, the experience was great, & I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good Indian food!

Literally the best Indian food I've ever had, & that includes my experiences back home in India! As someone who knows authentic Indian flavors, I was blown away by the taste, quality & ambiance (especially their playlist). If you visit, you have to try the Mutton Ghee Roast Mandi & Haleem, they're my favourites!

Best indian food i've ever had in montreal. The food here is unlike any typical restaurant. I've been here consistently for the past few months & the food quality is top notch. Ingredients are always fresh & the food is just amazing! Everything i had here tastes better than the typical version of food i've tried before! Definitely deserves a michelin rating & I hope they do get one!
