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.

If you're in Montreal & craving authentic Indian flavors, Shaaz is hands down one of the best Indian restaurants in the city.
The moment you walk in, the warm aroma of spices welcomes you like home.
I recently tried their vegetarian menu, & honestly, every bite was perfection.
Their Paneer 65 is a must-try - crispy on the outside, soft & flavorful inside.
The curries are rich, creamy, & perfectly balanced with spices.
The naan is soft, buttery, & fresh out of the tandoor.
The staff is friendly, attentive, & makes you feel like family.
Portions are generous, & prices are reasonable for the quality you get.
Whether you're vegetarian or non-vegetarian, there's something here for everyone.
Shaaz isn't just a restaurant - it's a delicious journey to India right in Montreal.

Amazing food, service & atmosphere. I always go there at lunchtime with my husband or with co-workers. Everyone agrees it is really good. The waiter, Suni, is always nice & gives good suggestions if you are new to Indian food or don't like that much spice. I am not that person, but some of my co-workers are & they always say they want to go back.

Not gonna lie, one of the greatest Indian restaurants I've been so far. I did order a Paneer Biryani & it was a flavor bomb. Whoever is cooking the food in the kitchen absolutely knows his job. Also the Mango Lassy was smooth & tasty as you would expect it. Thanks for also for the great & kind service.

Asked no spicy food for my relative, they receive dragon fire spicy, even for our indian born friends, then staff unfortunately laugh at the situation. Finally they ask half the table if we wanted dessert.
