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!

Amazing Food & Excellent Service!
I recently visited shaaz & had an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, & perfectly cooked - I highly recommend the vegetarian mandi
The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, & professional throughout the meal. We were greeted warmly, our server checked in at just the right times, & the food came out promptly.
The ambiance was cozy & welcoming, making it a great place for both casual dining & special occasions. Prices were reasonable for the quality, & the entire experience felt well worth it.
I'll definitely be coming back soon - highly recommended!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I tried their Mandi today & it was absolutely delicious! The rice was perfectly spiced, the meat was tender & juicy, & the flavors were so authentic. The portion size was generous, & the presentation made it even better. Friendly service & cozy atmosphere
definitely coming back!
The only good thing here was quick service.
Food is mediocre at best. One thing they really need to work on is that pungent lingering smell very off putting.
We tried the paneer tikka-avg, garlic naan - good & mutton ghee roast Mandi - not good.

Best Indian food in town. Chilli onion naan , kshatriya kebab, shahi thukda , Junnu are the best out of the dishes we tasted today. Mandi & Zafrani mutton Biryani are must try.
Went to Shaaz yesterday to celebrate friend's bday. Tried their Paneer65 family mandi, tandoori malai chaap, mango lassi & Andra junnu. the family mandi was just incredible - huge portions & really tasty. The staff were just amazing, especially Neha. Her food recommendations were spot-on, & she & Sukhvinder even surprised us by singing'Happy Birthday'! It was such a sweet touch & made the night extra special. Honestly, we had such a great time.
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!

This is our favorite restaurant. My husband & I are vegetarian & this restaurant is a absoluterly has so many options for us. We do takeout normally. My husband's favorite dish is Dal Makhani & mine is Mandi Vegetarian, Bagara Baigan (eggplant)
The portion is generous & often we have leftover & still taste good the next day.
We arrived at 9:30 PM & were informed that we would need to wait. At that time, we were unaware that the estimated waiting period would be approximately one hour. However, it became evident that there was ample space available on the upper level. After 10:30 PM, the upstairs area was opened, allowing all patrons to enter. The initial one-hour wait for entry seemed unreasonable given the circumstances.
Once we were seated, it took an additional 15 minutes for our orders to be taken. I inquired as to why the upstairs was not opened sooner, to which they responded that only two staff members were available, despite the presence of numerous employees. When I requested water, I was informed that my colleague was filling it & would bring it shortly. After another 15 minutes without water, it was finally provided.
Upon receiving our food, one of the dishes was contaminated. I brought this to their attention, & they suggested I order something else. I insisted on receiving a replacement for the dish I had originally ordered. They assured me that there would be no additional charge for the new dish. However, when the bill arrived, I noticed that I was charged for the contaminated dish, while the replacement, which was not to my liking, was not charged.
Throughout this experience, I sensed a lack of supervision or management oversight. Given the significant investment made in the establishment, it would be prudent to have a designated individual to oversee operations & guide the staff. Additionally, many of the dishes were excessively spicy & oily. I tried the Mandi Alfahm, which did not resemble the traditional Arabic recipe. Furthermore, the prices were considerably higher compared to Indian restaurants in Montreal.
They made alterations to a well-known portrait, which are not favorable.
The owner was very nice, portions are very generous & the taste was exquisite. I was very happy with my dining experience at Shaaz. We were a big group & ordered the non veg mandi which was more than enough for us! Huge variety of meals, I wanted to try everything.
